Hey Retro Fans!

David Blumenfeld is the co-founder of Next Rivet, a proptech advisory firm that helps real estate businesses leverage digital technology to solve real business challenges. With experience leading business development at Westfield Labs—the innovation arm of Westfield Shopping Centers—David has a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap between traditional real estate operations and emerging technologies. At Next Rivet, he focuses on building tailored technology roadmaps and overseeing successful implementation, ensuring that technology delivers measurable impact, not just flashy concepts.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Proptech is not about chasing buzzwords—it's about identifying business problems first and applying the right tools to solve them. The biggest failure in tech implementation comes from unclear business requirements, not from the technology itself. AI is not a stand-alone solution but an ingredient that enhances existing tools and processes. Operational efficiencies, lease management, and tenant experience are key focus areas where technology can provide immediate ROI. Success comes from doing the upfront work: define your goals clearly, then explore solutions.     Topics What Is Proptech and Why It Matters Proptech (property technology) spans digital leasing tools, building management systems, smart locks, energy efficiency tech, tenant experience platforms, and more. The slow adoption rate in real estate offers an opportunity for forward-thinking operators to gain an edge. Focus should always be on solving operational challenges—not on adopting tech for tech's sake. Avoiding the “Deck on the Desk” Problem Many consulting firms hand over a giant report without real action steps. Next Rivet helps clients move from strategy to implementation, working directly with vendors and ensuring real results. Their approach is tech-agnostic—choosing the right tools for the job, not locking clients into a specific vendor. Where Most Owners Should Start with Tech Focus on basic operational systems: lease digitization, renewal tracking, building management systems. Use AI as a layer within these systems to streamline lease abstraction, document review, and operations. Prioritize energy efficiency tools that can produce real cost savings (e.g., HVAC optimization, smart metering). Technology Across Asset Classes Retail: Enhance shopper experience through frictionless parking, special tenant offers, and real-time inventory insights. Office: Provide infrastructure that allows tenants to customize their tech stack while the building remains future-proof. Multifamily: Combine leasing, operations, and tenant engagement into seamless digital experiences. How to Vet and Choose Tech Solutions Wisely Clearly define business needs before engaging vendors. Develop tight business and technical requirements—just like architectural plans for a building. Avoid jumping into tools just because they're AI-powered or new; focus on real benefits and usability.    

En este programa, además de nuestras secciones habituales, nos sumergimos en la historia de Crytek, el estudio que redefinió los estándares gráficos de la industria del videojuego. Desde sus primeras demos técnicas hasta el mítico Far Cry, el revolucionario Crysis y el poderoso CryEngine, pasando por su ascenso, sus baches económicos y cómo lograron sobrevivir, manteniendo su legado con otros títulos como Ryse: Son of Rome, Hunt: Showdown, juegos de VR o los recientes remasters de Crysis. ¿Podrá tu PC o móvil correr este programa o acabará echando humo?

Wir haben geschaut und wir haben Gedanken.In den News aus der Spielebranche geht es diese Episode um eine Krise bei Crytek, kommende Resident Evil-Titel und Quartalszahlen von Sony und Square Enix.Gespielt wurde…sehr wenig leider. Aber ein paar Sachen haben wir natürlich auch da zu sagen.Viel Spaß!Dies und das08:24 Avowed ist raus.

Was it just me or were the commercials at the Super Bowl just not as good as they used to be? Even movie trailers were lacking. Anyway, PlayStation had a state of play and announced another remaster of a game that's less than 10 years old (-_-). An American in a major Harry potter role? A law about movie roles? How bout no, and A new Rocksteady Batman???

Antes del State of Play, echamos un ojo a Haneda Girl en una charla distendida con David Flores.   Si te gusta lo que escuchas y quieres apoyar esta empresita, ven a ver el programa en directo de lunes a jueves a las 18:00h en Twitch.tv/chiclanafriends

Nella puntata di oggi parliamo di South of Midnight, action adventure di Compulsion Games che ci porta nei territori palustri e misteriosi del Bayou, alla scoperta della costa Sud degli Stati Uniti.Prima, però, qualche notizia di mercato: il disastroso report di Bloomberg sullo stato di Warner Bros Games, i licenziamenti di Crytek, e invece i risultati incoraggianti per Alan Wake II e Remedy.

『Hunt_ Showdown 1896』に尽力するとのこと。

Have respect for the common man. You might be a grumpy dude, but if you go outside and you see somebody struggling. Sometimes it's just that simple hello that gets them from doing or being what they plan on being because of their life status. Everybody has low points, and sometimes it's you. You got to just be kind to people. Have respect for one another.

But can it run Crysis?  This was the motto that surrounded every single PC build for literal years after the release of the game in 2007.  Crytek were not satisfied with what they had achieved with Far Cry in 2004, and decided to push graphical hardware to its absolute limits with their brand new and shiny game.  And boy, did they succeed, with a poorly optimised but breathtakingly gorgeous game.  Even better, there was an entire video game attached to this graphical showcase, promising open ended tactical engagements over massive levels, far removed from corridor brawling.You have cool suit powers that switch between modes, on the fly weapon modification, and a wide array of guns (and vehicles) to wreak havoc on those pesky North Koreans.  And if there are aliens, well, the United States of kick ass will just have to murder them as well.  It seems like an incredible game on paper, even today when we have more open world games than you can shake a stick at.But for all that Crysis is vaunted for its massive leap forward in graphical technology, just how good a game is it to actually play?  Are the suit powers really that interesting in the face of the many RPG systems that tend to overlap FPS games today?  And is fighting those aliens all its cracked up to be?  Is Crysis worth your time to play today, or is it better remembered?On this episode, we discuss:The Suit.Crysis's key feature is a powerful exoskeleton that lets you switch between 4 modes - Strength, Armor, Speed and Stealth.  Just how well does the game push these suit modes in terms of engaging gameplay?  Are they balanced, and more importantly, are they fun to use?The Guns.How fun is the gunplay in Crysis?  The game features a fairly typical roster of assault rifles, submachine guns and shotguns, but has weapon modification on the fly with a simple menu.  Does this do enough to spice up the gunplay and keep things interesting?The level design.Crysis features (mostly) semi-open world level design, with bespoke objectives.  Does this give you the freedom to approach them in the way you want, and does it maintain this philosophy for the entire run time of the game?We answer these questions and many more on the 124th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherCrysis OST: Inon Zur The original version of the game, available on GOG, will fail to start on modern operating systems (Windows 10+). This can be fixed using the below link, which James used for this https://github.com/ccomrade/c1-launcher Do you know what the gameplay differences are between Crysis 1 and the remastered version?  Do you think that Crysis is better than the Far Cry games that came afterwards?  When are we going to play Far Cry 2?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!If you would like to support the show monetarily, you can buy us a coffee here!

Two Pinocchio stories this week, one about a horror movie, the other, the return of Ultron. Its the week after Gamescom, so that means its time for Call of Duty news! Plus Nintendo decided to have a direct and not talk about the Switch's successor. Sony bombs out with their latest games as a service, and Lionsgate debuts their 2nd flop of the summer. Meanwhile Ted Lasso is gearing up for a new season on the pitch, and Tarantino takes a phaser to his chances of directing a Star Trek.

Hunt: Showdown bekommt sein größtes Update aller Zeiten inklusive eines neuen Namens, neuer Grafik und einer neuen Map. Shooter-Experte Phil hat direkt an der Quelle nachgefragt und mit Dennis Schwarz, Design Director bei Crytek, gesprochen.

Gen Con is racing towards us, and I have a couple more convention-related interviews in the can, so let's keep rolling! This time, Richard Dansky is returning to the mic.

Before Gus Fring from Breaking Bad signed on, before you were doing some first-person platforming up a tower, and before your map was filled with icons, this series had you mowing down some angry monkeys, angry men, and angry monkey men. We're going back almost 20 years, to 2004, to look at a first-person shooter that spawned many sequels. We're talking Far Cry.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we look at how X-Isle got the attention of Nvidia, many years before the dinosaur island became Far Cry. We also discuss how Crytek were always looking to mix action and stealth in the game, as well as some dream casting for the Uwe Boll film.In our review, you'll hear some chat on how to pronounce the name of the game, how you're noisier when dragging your belly on the ground, the excellent sight and hearing of every enemy, BIG ZOOM ENERGY, the stealth-o-meter, tagging guys via your binoculars, thermal goggles that make the Splinter Cell (and X-Files) noise, the MP5, the Trigens that can leap up into the air, the Trigens that can go invisible, the Trigens that are called fat boys, gun perviness, incredible headshots, punching PC monitors, overpowered baddies, bad stamina, a good-looking jungle, hang glider vs helicopter, poor pacing, the second half of Crytek games, and unintentional Duke Nukem.After all that, the lads take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then they give their final verdicts on whether Far Cry is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those that would like to play along at home, we'll be reviewing Batman: Arkham Asylum on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS

In this episode, Brett heads to the past to play a game from Crytek called Hunt: Showdown. This game released in 2019 and it has taken us awhile to get there. Jumping into this game, we're sad it took us this long. This is a great game with a really fun gameplay loop that keeps us coming back. Hunt monsters, fight other hunters and try and escape alive with your bounty. We also talk a lot about the new cRPG Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios. This is as close to D&D in a video game as you'll probably ever get and it's so much fun. We share first impressions of the game and talk about how devs are a little worried that this may set a new standard that they can't achieve with future games.Red Dead Redemption is officially releasing August 17th but not as a remaster or a remake. Instead it's simply a re-release on PS4 and Switch. How silly is that! Jason is excited but the rest of us are not. One of the greatest games of all time is getting a re-release for 50 bucks with no upgrades. Oh well.THQ Nordic had a showcase where they launched two new games we were stoked to learn more about. One is TMNT: The Last Ronin and another is South Park Snow Day. We're hopeful these two games really show up and blow us away!Finally, Brett has beat Cyberpunk 2077 and talks about the ending (SPOILERS) and whether or not Phantom Liberty can bring the game back into the public's positive eye.Show Notes:1:18 - Housekeeping2:38 - Hunt Showdown23:30 - Baldur's Gate 3 First Impressions57:19 -Baldur's Gate 3: The Gaming Industry's Kryptonite1:29:49 - The Red Dead Redemption Re-Release1:44:34 - THQ Nordic Showcases Surprises with South Park and TMNT1:58:30 - Will Phantom Liberty Bring Back Cyberpunk 2077?2:21:21- Upcoming Video Game ReleasesBecome a part of the conversation!

Our Free Radical Design mini-series comes to a close with 2016's Homefront: The Revolution. James and guest host TehSnakerer dissect this open-world reboot that passed from THQ to Crytek before landing in the hands of a now rebranded Dambuster Studio. The pair rank its place in the pantheon of Ubisoft collectathons, the state of AAA shooters, and answer what if any TimeSplitters DNA exists in the title (outside of its well-known easter egg).

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we discuss Far Cry 2 with none other than Creative Director Clint Hocking. We talk about his early career before getting into the game proper. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Podcast breakdown: 0:43 Interview with Clint Hocking 1:07:12 Break 1:07:37 Outro Issues covered: starting out in writing, taking a terrible pay cut, good fortune, taking on many jobs, tough development cycles, making a perfect version of the first game, making the game in the last six months, reacquiring a brand, finding something fresh in the prototypes, open worlds and RPGs, taking new ground, fertile ground, "of course there's a game here," what you do when you don't have a corridor, playing on a harder difficulty, a world that's hostile wherever you go, forward pressure, enjoying playing your own game, making the better movie in the game than what's in your head, surfing the wave, the anecdote factory, playing at concert speed, the PC version vs the console versions, committing to the game, punctuating the sentence or the musical phrase, going all the way as developers, everything working together to create a physical bond that works towards just one or two moments in the game, holistic design, picking the place, reading up on colonial issues, not knowing if you'd make the game again, the exigencies of the medium, the difficulty of approaching some topics, a game that sparks different sorts of questions, bringing topics and concepts to an audience who might not encounter them, an actually mature game, the future creeds. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Splinter Cell (series), Assassin's Creed (series), Ubisoft, LucasArts, Valve, Amazon, Watch Dogs: Legion, Edge Magazine, Unreal Tournament, Crytek, Crysis, Prince of Persia, DOOM (1993), Castle Wolfenstein, GTA III, Morrowind, Oblivion, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942, Half-Life, John Romero, Resident Evil, Dead Rising, Tomb Raider, Alexandre Amancio, Black Hawk Down, Trespasser, Legend of Zelda (series), Dark Souls, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Come hang with the crew as they talk about their ongoing love affair with Hunt: Showdown, the PvPvE title developed by Crytek, and we deep dive all the things announced at Gamescom. Caleb has also played and finished South of the Circle, a beautiful narrative adventure with a wobbly ending. We also take a deep dive on the importance of setting time aside to pursue passions, and whether or not framing that process as sacrifice is the right approach.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on UbiSoft's 2008 series-establishing classic, Far Cry 2. We set it in its time, and talk a bit about shifting engine wars and attendant publisher/developer drama, before briefly getting into the tutorial. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The Tutorial Issues covered: the UbiSoft open world formula, picking your UbiSoft ur-game, engine wars, branched engine work, getting into or out of the engine game, the open world first person shooter, a brief overview of Clint Hocking's career, games of 2008, grindhouse games, commitment to the first-person aesthetic, picking your character, setting their games in fictional countries, embracing African conflict, expositional value, setting up the chaotic situation, the diagetics of the game, mercenaries coming in, malarial effects, showing the systems, fire propagation, wishing they'd lean into the politics, disclaiming the team diversity to avoid political, having your cake and eating it too, tending to avoid modern realistic settings as players, the sales of the historical era, video game tourism, presenting variables, the diagetic map, the implicit simulated world and how the games get away from that, the onboarding, performance and enemy count and music, gatekeeping around what's a game, games where the interactivity shines through or justifies the choice to make it a game, putting clues together, simple choices that personalize, accretion effects, moments of calm, taking your decisions forward, being forced to the golden path.
