so I'm the only one who's nerdy enough to always be confused a bit by the core premise of the NO THEY AREN'T rant, because the entire thing comes from Brad talking about an HD remaster announcement as a "remake" and acting like Capcom is acting like it's a new game


It wasn't a response to Capcom, it was a response to Brad (and the general social media reaction of "Yeah new Resident Evil!"). The last words he said before Jeff's outburst were "Capcom is making a new videogame, y'all"

I know, but that's what always confused me because before that podcast, I literally saw nobody who treating it like it was a new game

I remember the reaction at NeoGAF being pretty positive at a time when Capcom had seemingly stopped developing their own games and had been outsourcing everything to western devs.

It was more positive because people liked that game and wanted to play it somewhere new than thinking it was a new game, but it was about the most positive people were on Capcom in a couple of years.

In a 2011 pod, Vinny was downright indignant towards the thought of a re-released Zelda game (OoT for the 3DS). He didn't like that it wasted a development slot, essentially. Jeff straight-up refused to play it, for fear that it might taint his memory of the original. Brad liked it and I think Ryan did, too.

Really, contrasting their whole attitude, 2011-to-now, is kinda fascinating. There's a different one where they're talking about the Team Bondi fallout and are uniformly pro-union; their response to Rockstar's workplace stuff last year was a LOT more tepid. And there's a different pod where Brad (and the others) are in favour of a single-save Bethesda RPGs (after talking about how irritating it was to rollback saves to play DLC in Fallout: New Vegas). Their general thoughts about the state of the industry (there's a lot of talk about used games) and its future (a general sentiment for always-online, as something 'necessary'.) are really fun to hear given how things turned out.

Their treatment of developers is also fascinating. They loved L.A. Noir and treated it like a full Rockstar game, with no real knowledgement that it was made by Team Bondi until after that news broke. For the entire time they're playing L.A. Noire it's referred to and contrasted with Rockstar's own games. I feel like nowadays there's a lot more awareness about which studio made what, and appropriate expectations because of that.

2011 pods are a riiiide.

Edit: Oh, I forgot about Patrick's adventures with his arcade cabinet. Their arcade talks are super interesting.

What is this phone software that everyone other than Vinny is screaming about making the 6S obsolete?

Dear god that discussion was infuriating.
Seriously lol. The 6s is still a pretty fast phone for 2019 and isn't lacking software support from apple. Put a new battery in it and it's good to go.

I do agree that buying another 6s is kinda dumb, might as well at least get a 7 or 8.

I think I missed what the conversation was about. It was just Vinny not upgrading yearly that got everyone's goat?

It was strange that in the entire group no one was willing to even begin to concede that phones are getting to the point where the flagship from 3-4 years ago is still totally fine.

Facebook gaming, yo.

In one of the unsealed documents, two Facebook employees deny a refund request from a child whom they refer to as a "whale" – a term coined by the casino industry to describe profligate spenders. The child had entered a credit card number to play a game, and in about two weeks racked up thousands of dollars in charges, according to an excerpt of messages between two employees at the social media giant.

Whaling is an immoral practice wherever it is done.

Yeah I thought someone would have brought up the fact you can still buy an iPhone 7 from Apple for less than $500 and that there is a much longer tail on iOS support than used to be the case

Vinny's phone rant... I'm just confused by it because he's worked in a tech/consumer electronics related job for years and years.

They could have given us Mass Alex 2, Shenmue 2 ER, or GTAO Heists, but instead they choose to attack us.
