Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Ultima IV. We talk about the boat, we talk about dungeons (a tiny bit), we deep dive into NPCs and consequences, we talk about the quests and how everything is in the world, and answer some listener email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More of Ultima IV (Much more, in B's case) Issues covered: revisiting locations and finding new things, a game that does a lot with a little, everything existing in the world, getting to know the world, NPCs sharing sprites and being hard to remember, getting a ship and fighting your way on, broadside combat, dying to a waterspout, wanting to search the oceans, badly simulating tacking, riding a horse, being interrupted in any location, trying to replicate the tabletop experience, feeling like a "yes" game, whether what you do matters, can you be a thief, watering down a morality system, having a limited palette of options at any one time, layering frosting, taking out the friction and icky feeling, the niche audience of some RPGs, taking elements from older games and bringing them into modern games, asking questions of the player who is also the character, avoiding the uncanny valley, an aside into adventure mode, the horseshoe effect on NPCs, reaching the limits of what the human brain can contemplate, an aside into Dunbar's number, facing the same challenges, chunking chapters, feeling the anxiety of there being too much, coalescing your notes from time to time, the telescope moment and seeing the map, the lack of loot, preparing to do things, validating your assumptions, having to revisit everywhere, the friction of Pikmin, getting good controllers, handheld mode, the Wavebird, bouncing off character creation, character creation we've liked, wanting a story to wrap around a more specific character, the generic hero, having fun with a character creator, a freeing character creator. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Final Fantasy (series), Gold Box (series), Eye of the Beholder, Outer Wilds, The Witcher (series), Beowulf, Dungeons & Dragons, Wizardry (series), BioWare, Mass Effect, BioShock, Dishonored, CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate III, Thief, Robin Hood, VtM Bloodlines, Undertale, Dark Souls, Land of the Lost, Dwarf Fortress, Planescape: Torment, Metroid / Castlevania, Richard Garriott, Sasha, Pikmin, Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, Switch, PlayStation, Analog Pocket, Ashton Herrmann, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Morrowind, Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Bethesda Game Studios, Blizzard, World of Warcraft, Diablo (series), Metal Gear Solid V, Hideo Kojima, Saint's Row IV, Call of Cthulhu, Asher, Cuphead, KyleAndError, Hitman, FFSZilla, MGS: VR Missions, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia. Note: Because Ultima IV has very little music to speak of, I will be substituting music from later in the series in the openings to these episodes TTDS: 38:30 Links: Majuular Ultima IV video recommended by Chris Next time: Finish Ultima IV Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, released on August 28, 2025, is Konami's ambitious attempt to rebuild the 2004 masterpiece from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5. It is a faithful, near one-to-one reconstruction that manages to preserve the soul of Hideo Kojima's original vision while wrapping it in a visual fidelity that finally matches the prestige of its story.
Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Nel calcio come nei videogiochi il corto muso paga sempre. Ci piace raccontarci come esteti del bel giuoco, intenditori a cui fa proprio schifo l'idea dello sviluppatore che si piega alle necessità commerciali, al "design by spreadsheet" imposto da qualche executive che impone l'ennesimo RPG Open World da duemila ore sul mercato. Solo che poi quando dobbiamo scegliere tra un clone da discount di The Witcher 3 e un Fumito Ueda originale indovina un po' in quali tasche vanno a finire i nostri 80€? Il botteghino alla fine ha quasi sempre premiato i risultatisti. Di The Last Guardian parli ancora della telecamera scassata, del frame-rate che lo rendeva fluido più o meno quanto Michael Shumacher oggi, di quel cazzo di Trico che però alla fine chissà fino a che punto era studiato apposta per non ascoltarti e quanto fossero i bug. Cyberpunk 2077 invece è quel giochino che nonostante i problemi alla fine sotto sotto funzionava, per quanto di corto muso i tre punti (rigorosamente in borsa) li portava a casa e alla fine divertirsi non è importante, è l'unica cosa che conta come diceva Gianpiero Boniperti. L'unica differenza tra Hideo Kojima e Cesc Fabregas è che Kojima non rosica. Il tiki-taka non paga. A Death Stranding abbiamo preferito Death Stranding 2, infinitamente meno d'autore ma più giocattolone. Non lo dico io. Lo dice Metacritic. Lo dice il mercato. Lo dicono i nostri cazzo di 80€.

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Rogério Montanare, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo sobre "Death Stranding 2: On the Beach", continuação direta de uma das obras mais autorais e divisivas da história recente dos videogames. Hideo Kojima retorna ao seu universo pós-apocalíptico com ainda mais ambição, aprofundando ideias sobre conexão humana, isolamento e o preço de tentar “salvar” o mundo quando talvez ele não queira ser salvo.A história se passa anos após os eventos do primeiro jogo e acompanha novamente Sam Porter Bridges, interpretado por Norman Reedus, agora em um mundo que mudou, mas não necessariamente para melhor. A pergunta central que guia a narrativa é provocadora: deveríamos mesmo ter nos conectado? A sequência coloca em xeque o ideal de união apresentado no título original, explorando as consequências dessa ligação forçada entre pessoas, territórios e sistemas.Melhorou a narrativa do jogo? Ficou mais fácil? Kojima se superou novamente?=- MAIS DESCONTO NA ALURA | Estude na Alura, a maior escola de tecnologia on-line do Brasil!

Goo-goo, ga-ga, folks. Today, we begin our journey across the United States of Hideo Kojima. We couldn't be more excited to get share our thoughts on the latest from Metal Gear's BB-daddy.

After eight long years of waiting, it's finally here: Episode 528 of Filthy Casuals. Did I make a similar joke the other week? I can't remember and I'm too busy to check because I've been sinking a lot of time into Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. Does this long-awaited sequel live up to expectations? Are the NPC companions as annoying as the initial reports would have you believe? Is it fun to drive around the desert on a motorbike? We answer all of these questions as well as chatting about the future of Yacht Club Games and thinking about movies that Hideo Kojima could cameo in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A una semana de la gala de los The Game Awards, empiezan a aparecer rumores interesantes. Algunos con aspecto de convertirse en realidad y otros no tanto. De hecho, una enigmática figura ha aparecido en el desierto de Mojave, al oeste de Estados Unidos, y los comentarios se han disparado: ¿Será un nuevo God of War? ¿Tal vez un DLC de Diablo IV? ¿Es una señal de algún anuncio de The Elder Scrolls VI? ¿Half-Life 3? Comentamos al detalle todo lo relacionado con esta enigmática aparición, pero no nos olvidamos de juegos ya anunciados que tal vez aparezcan, como Project Robot, de Fumito Ueda, Pragmata, Onimusha: Way of Sword y Okami 2, de la mano de Capcom o incluso el OD de Hideo Kojima, entre muchos otros posibles. Pero, de lo que no sabemos, ¿tendremos noticias de la nueva IP de Sony Santa Mónica? ¿Qué otras cosas pueden llegar a aparecer en el evento de Geoff Keighley? No te olvidemos de seguir con nosotros el streaming durante la madrugada del jueves 11 de diciembre al viernes 12 en twitch.tv/reconectados. ¡Gracias por escucharnos y comentar cada semana!

This week on AwesomeCast 760, Michael Sorg (@Sorgatron), Katie “Dudders” Dudas, and Dave Podnar brave the Pittsburgh snow (plus the frozen tundra of Verona) to geek out over: Samsung's Galaxy Z Tri-Fold — a three-screen foldable that opens into a 10" tablet and costs about as much as a decent gaming PC. Is this the future of phones or just flex tech? Cloud gaming from the couch — Sorg uses OneCast, GeForce Now, and Xbox Cloud Gaming to turn an Apple TV and Chromecast into a console-free living room, streaming everything from Mortal Kombat 1 to Marvel's Midnight Suns. Netflix Games leveling up — from Red Dead Redemption (2010) going mobile-only on Netflix to a WWE 2K “Netflix Edition” and Stranger Things puzzle games trying to lure the 99% of subscribers who never touch the games tab. Marvel arcade goodness & Fortnite insanity — we punch through Marvel's Cosmic Invasion on Game Pass and recap Fortnite's giant event featuring Homer Simpson, Godzilla, Kong, Superman, Voltron, K-pop Demon Hunters, Kill Bill, Back to the Future and more. Weird future tech — Hideo Kojima's idea for a blood-scented floppy disk, BHaptics VR suits you can actually buy at Best Buy, and why we're both fascinated and slightly terrified. Shopping & robotaxis — Amazon's 30-minute delivery pilot in Seattle and Philly, Katie's Walmart turning into a gig-worker warehouse, and a Waymo robo-car that casually drives through an active LAPD stop. Plus: birthday love for long-time supporter John “Diggy” DeGore, vintage Star Wars comics, and interns Tony and Mac discovering just how weird tech can get.

THIS WEEK: I give my thoughts on this week's news, including more reveals of the Super Mario Galaxy movie, Fallout Season 2 trailer, Hideo Kojima and Disney teaming up, and more. Then, in our TALK TOPIC of the WEEK, I talk about the new Netflix documentary "Being Eddie" and discuss what was talked about, what wasn't talked about, and what I took away from it.
La Órbita de Endor se enfrasca en una de las aventuras de espionaje más cinematográficas que ha dado el videojuego de los años 90. Con este especial de METAL GEAR SOLID de 1998, obra del maestro Hideo Kojima y Konami, el primero de la saga MGS propiamente dicha que arrancó en la primera Playstation, rendimos tributo a Solid Snake, uno de los personajes más fascinantes del mundo del videojuego. Por supuesto, será necesario hablar de los titulos en 2D que realmente iniciaron la saga, y de cómo Kojima llegó a sacar en 1987 aquel Metal Gear de MSX 2, así como su secuela bastarda, Snake´s Revenge y la verdadera secuela oficial Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (no confundir con Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty), todo ello antes del Metal Gear Solid que hoy nos ocupa. Junto a Jaime Angulo, Vicenç Sanz y Antonio Runa, todos ellos con badana en frente y pistola con silenciador, atrévete a infiltrarte en un podcast de sigilo y acción como nunca has escuchado.

An old piece of games industry lore has recently reemerged, and it has people wondering about a tantalizing what-if. Back in 1999, The Matrix hit theaters, and the co-creators of the film happened to have been huge fans of Hideo Kojima, himself a year removed from the launch of Metal Gear Solid. And, as was reported at the time, there was potential that Konami would allow Kojima to pursue a licensed Matrix game post-MGS. A lot of new information has since emerged about what did and didn't happen here, and it makes for a great conversation starter. So let's lean into it, shall we? Our conclusion: Perhaps Kojima doing MGS2 instead of a Matrix game means he likely dodged a bullet (pardon the pun). Other news this week includes some quiet updates seemingly being made to PlayStation Portal's functionality, leaks from Bluepoint's cancelled God of War game, the most recent China Hero Project title in the form of Loulan: The Cursed Sand, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Following Freedom Wars, Patapon, and Everybody's Golf, what should Sony's and Bandai Namco's next collaborative re-release be? Do PC players have any reason to invest in the modern PlayStation ecosystem? Will the culture war consume Naughty Dog's Intergalactic? Does Colin type so fast that his keyboard smokes?
