Podcasts about glixel

This week's guest is IGN Managing Editor Rachel Weber, who probably has the most varied and fascinating career in games media of anyone who's appeared on the podcast so far. Hear about her transatlantic journey from OPM during the PS3 launch days to GamesIndustry.biz, Rolling Stone's Glixel channel and GamesRadar, before she landed at IGN.This week's music is from the Lost: Via Domus soundtrack by Michael Giacchino. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You don't need me to tell you that games journalism is a tough business. Shortly after we recorded this episode, Game Informer laid off nearly half of their staff. Brian Crecente, a co-founder of Kotaku, Polygon, Rolling Stone's Glixel, and Variety's gaming coverage has been through those same ringers, and they never get any easier. But picking yourself back up and starting a new games media website doesn't have to be an insurmountable task. Crecente joins the 1099 to discuss the aftermath of Variety shutting down its otherwise successful video game coverage, what he hopes to achieve next, and all the lessons he's learned along the way about fundraising, talking to boardroom execs who control the purse strings, building a staff that will carry you beyond the starting line, the use of freelancers, and plenty more.

My guest today is John Davison. John is currently the general manager of Glixel, a new gaming website by the publisher of Rolling Stone, but is perhaps best known to most as the VP of 1up and one of the original hosts of 1up Yours. We talk through John's inrcedible career in the games press, from his early work in the UK games press on PC Player and PC Zone, the cover disk wars of the mid nineties, becoming an editor aged just 21, his move to America, the impact of 1up Yours and what inspired him to create What They Play. We of course hit on a bunch of games too. How Skyrim and Oblivion ruled his life, why Archer MacLean's Dropzone gave him his first taste of videogame press, the generational impact of Doom and how games are a form of expression, not just in what you make, but in how you play. This was a treat. I don't want to go to work today. I want to stay home and play.

Over 12 years have passed since the release of Madden NFL 06 but the mere mention of the title still conjures up emotions from sports gaming fans. From an industry standpoint it also could be cited as being a major contributor to a turning point around that time in consumer distrust with not just what publishers would say about games before they released, but also what they showed.  Former lead designer for the Madden NFL series Ian Cummings joins Bryan Wiedey and Rich Grisham to discuss the events surrounding development of that game. Thanks to a piece from Glixel which included interviews with several parties involved in development we've learned a lot about the behind-the-scenes trials and tribulations and here Ian provides additional perspective and his first-person account of everything that took place. Also in this episode T.J. Lauerman goes through the first reveals for MLB The Show 18 which includes a focus on the improvements made to gameplay and the addition of new legends for Franchise and Diamond Dynasty.  On the show this week: Bryan Wiedey, Pastapadre/Sporting News/Hit the Pass (@pastapadre) Rich Grisham, OOTP Developments/Hit the Pass (@richgrisham) Ian Cummings, Third Time Games (@iantcummings) T.J.

On this week's episode, the editorial director at Glixel, a founding editor and former executive editor for Polygon, and the founding editor-in-chief of Kotaku, Brian Crecente, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss how Rolling Stone covers video games. Brian details how he got his current editorial role, what he looks for in freelancers, how he determines what the site should cover, how to create a successful website in a video-driven era, and what you can expect from Glixel in 2018.

In Episode #71 des VRODO-Podcasts geht es um die große Magic-Leap-Enthüllung. Außerdem diskutieren wie, wie sich die drei großen Bethesda-Titel Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR und Doom VFR auf den VR-Spielemarkt ausgewirkt haben - oder auch nicht. Magic Leap One: Endlich enthüllt ... oder? Zumindest präsentierte Magic Leap nach langer Zeit mal wieder handfeste Neuigkeiten. Das Augmented-Reality-Startup zeigte erste Bilder der Brille, des dazugehörigen Taschencomputers und des Controllers. Eine Enthusiasten-Edition von Magic Leap One soll 2018 auf den Markt kommen und wird voraussichtlich zwischen 1.500 und 3.000 Euro kosten. Ein Journalist von Glixel bekam eine exklusive Demo der Brille und erzählt in einem ausführlichen Bericht und bei Reddit über sein Erlebnis. Sein größter Kritikpunkt: Das eingeschränkte Sichtfeld, das zwar deutlich weiter sein soll als bei Microsofts AR-Brille Hololens - aber dennoch zu eng. Und: Obwohl Magic Leap Bilder zeigt und eine Veröffentlichung für kommendes Jahr verspricht, sind noch viele Fragen hinsichtlich Performance, Software und Zielgruppe offen. Im Podcast suchen wir die Puzzleteile zusammen. Ist das Vaporware-Risiko schon völlig gebannt? Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/magic-leap-weitere-details-zu-sichtfeld-technologie-und-preis/] Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/magic-leap-will-breites-portfolio-an-ar-brillen-aufbauen/ Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/magic-leap-one-diese-demos-zeigte-das-ar-unternehmen/ Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/magic-leap-one-fuer-innenraeume-ausgelegt-naechste-generation-soll-drahtlos-sein/ Mehr dazu: https://vrodo.de/magic-leap-mysterioese-augmented-reality-brille-endlich-enthuellt/ Fallout 4 VR und Co. - hat sich die Hoffnung erfüllt? Die drei großen Bethesda-Titel Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR und Doom VFR waren in Anbetracht des nachlassenden Hypes und geringer Verkaufszahlen der große Hoffnungsträger der VR-Spieleindustrie: Die bekannten Spielemarken sollten die Verkaufszahlen ankurbeln und die Begeisterung für VR zumindest unter Spielern neu entfachen - und viele neue VR-Brillen-Käufer gewinnen. Erste Nutzungsdaten bei Steam zu Fallout und Doom zeigen, dass das nicht im großen Stil gelingen wird: Zwar ist Fallout 4 VR das bisher am häufigsten gespielte VR-Spiel bei Steam und damit durchaus erfolgreich. Aber der Abstand zu den bisher erfolgreichsten VR-Titeln fällt vergleichsweise gering aus. Fallout 4 VR dürfte sich innerhalb der VR-Blase sehr gut verkaufen, dient aber wohl nicht als der erhoffte Magnet für interessierte Neueinsteiger.

Jorge, Dann & Terry meet up for another discussion about recent gaming news, this time discussing the following topics:Call of Duty’s controversial loot-box powered matchmaking.Ubisoft’s statement on DRM affecting game performance in Assassin’s Creed OriginsLast of Us 2 & Detroit: Beyond Human’s touchy trailers.Retrospective: The DreamcastValve’s crackdown on ‘non-beta’ betas on adult games.Bossa’s direct statement regarding Decksplash’s launch.We touched on the trademark of Activision’s loot-box matchmaking in last week’s podcast, as well as discussing games which addressed real world issues — although I must admit we were rather flat on the end, and this week’s Last of Us 2 conversation is much more spirited.Those interested in reading up on some of the other topics would do well to read Glixel’s coverage of the Ubisoft DRM topic. If finding out about Decksplash’s target ‘free users’ for this week is the kind of thing you’d like then you can get it st

On this week's episode, writer and critic, Tevis Thompson, joins host Josiah Renaudin to break down games criticism. They cover what makes for good criticism, the elements of a bad review, why not all games should just be escapism, which writers you should follow, and what Waypoint and Glixel could mean for the future of gaming culture.

Dishonored 2, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the NES Classic and whether we can actually spot a 4K game on PS4 Pro without anyone actually telling us it's doing anything different first. We also talk about the awesome indie games that were on show at the Day of the Devs event last weekend in San Francisco, including Moblets, Gang Beasts, Spy Party, and the unforgettable Sausage Sports Club. Make sure you check out Glixel.com when it launches next week!
