Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on 1985's Ultima IV. We talk a lot about the mysterious sense of the game, the talking interface and mechanics, and dive a bit into combat before turning to reader mail. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Another number of hours Issues covered: missing out on talking to someone, sleeping sprites, having a talk prompt and fallbacks, having generic topics per town, putting together with nouns and verbs, adding to world-building, introducing riddles and puzzles, having a sense of what's going on under the hood, exploring through talking, the technical implementation issues, the letter limits, likely implementation details, iterating on a design, fast travel, the many eights, explaining the moon gates, fleeing a boat, the ways you can pause the game, how the moon states work, the persistence of the world, the long table, more arguments for the persistence of the world, getting into combat, the zoomed in battlefield, strategizing around leveling up characters, readying/switching weapons, anticipating dungeon combat, the combat soundscape and understanding the battle, using every key on the keyboard, how many monsters there are, leveling combat, leveling up by talking with Lord British, non-linear XP table, reinforcing the relationship with both Lord British and Richard Garriott, having the cycle of leveling up, the surprise of discovering Magincia, a question of controllers, swapping between screens, distinctions between different Pikmin games, our favorite Pikmin types, charity unlocks, capybara attacks.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Sierra, King's Quest (series), LucasArts, Dungeons & Dragons, Larian, Baldur's Gate (series), Eye of the Beholder, The Outer Wilds, Her Story, Sam Barlow, Deadly Premonition, Ultima Underworld, Final Fantasy Tactics, The Elder Scrolls (series), Serious Sam, Richard Garriott, Ultima Online, Darren Johnson, Star Wars (obliquely), Pikmin, Dark Souls, Missile Command, MysteryDip, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Calamity Nolan, Virtual Boy, Okami, The Simpons (obliquely), Asher, FSSZilla, Cuphead, Hitman, Metal Gear Solid, Dwarf Fortress, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

The slam of winter weather caused Sean and Marc to delay the podcast recording this week. Still, we are here discussing what's going on in gaming, which is predominantly focused on two entities, Xbox and Ubisoft. Xbox had its Developer Direct 2026 last week and showed off some interesting things for both Forza Horizon 6 and Fable, with one getting the rumored May 19 release date and the other stuck on an Autumn release window. Did the broadcast do anything to get them more excited for these two flagship titles? And what about the other two games that were shown? The duo discusses their thoughts. Also, Ubisoft followed up on all of the talk from last week to introduce an entire restructuring plan that includes teams split among five creative houses. The cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, the reveal of what Vantage Studios will actually be doing and the prospect of more layoffs at an already over-inflated company. Plus, Sean has thoughts on Escape From Ever After, Cairn, and Steel Century Groove, Marc has been playing the Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta Remake, the fallout from High Guard's release, and is the hate justified?You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/U5jDM8mQ84YListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a series on 1985's Ultima IV. After talking about the recent Defeating Games for Charity, we set the game in its time, talk about our encounters in the past with the series, and then dive into the manuals and the start of the game. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The first couple of hours and the manuals  Issues covered: Defeating Games for Charity, the first pancake, our experiences with this series, an opaque franchise, mainlining a game, opacity being part of the point, performance characteristics of the PCs of the time, the importance of the manuals, entering the world as yourself, using the manual to reinforce the role-play, not requiring graphics, priming the player, describing the geography of different areas, imposing importance on a handful of pixels, the quest of the game, sublimating the quest of the game, a less traditional RPG experience, after reading the manual, the deep questions/dilemmas, tournament structure, choosing your most important virtue, getting the bard, series characters who can join your party, reflecting your beliefs, getting different dilemmas, the Venn diagram of virtues, the Tinker profession, symmetry in design, Buddhism and the Eightfold Path, countering the cultural zeitgeist, the Avatar and Hinduism, a deity's manifestation on Earth, finding your way into swamps, both hosts being poisoned and dying, death and rebirth, being unable to recruit early.

This month, we finally discuss a game people have actually played: Metal Gear Solid. We also take a look back at Kojima's notion of creativity as a memetic/genetic process and how this game maybe complicates the somewhat rosy picture he paints in his memoir and interviews. Also! The premiere performance of "Liquid Snake and the Konami Code," with its hit song, "Genome Soldier!"

Welcome to Episode 152 of Nintendo Therapy, a show about the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and a celebration of all things Nintendo.This week, we kick off Year of the Backlog with Kevin finally completing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater from the Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 1. Rather than immediately moving on, the conversation turns into a deep appreciation of why Snake Eater still stands as one of the greatest games ever made. We talk about its tight but content-rich design, incredible immersion, unforgettable boss fights, and the emotional weight of Snake and The Boss. It's a masterclass in prequel storytelling, showing how Big Boss's transformation feels earned in a way few franchises ever pull off.On the Nintendo front, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance joins the GameCube Classics lineup, giving fans another reason to revisit (or finally experience) one of the most beloved entries in the series. We also run through the biggest January 2026 Switch and Switch 2 releases, including major updates, new editions, and long-awaited ports.Harrison leads a discussion on the recent spike in Nintendo 3DS prices, exploring why interest in the system is rising again and how renewed demand for dual-screen experiences could influence Nintendo's future hardware decisions. That leads into a fascinating conversation about voice recognition on Switch 2, sparked by new software from Hitachi. We imagine how voice mechanics could be used in classic Nintendo games and remakes, from Hey You, Pikachu and Nintendogs to Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Luigi's Mansion, and more.The episode's Spotlight focuses on Streets of Rage (#50) and Streets of Rage 2 (#49). We break down why Sega's gritty beat 'em up series still holds up decades later, how it stacks up against Final Fight, and why Streets of Rage 2 is often considered the high point of the genre. From iconic characters and co-op chaos to Yuzo Koshiro's legendary soundtracks, this spotlight is a full-on love letter to one of the most influential brawler series of the '90s.All that and more in Episode 152 of Nintendo Therapy.

Casual Trek's still in recovery mode from life and the festive period and we've wanted to fix the "Gamers" episode which was cursed with bad attempts to compress the file.Now, you can listen to the splendour of gaming in Star Trek!In Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The Game", everyone gets addicted to Candy Crush except for Wesley Crusher, the big nerd!Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's incredible "Move Along Home" puts the cast in a board game escape room.Star Trek: Lower Decks' "Least Dangerous Game" shows where TTRPGs are in the future, also Boimler gets hunted, which is kind of a game!Talking points include: Experiencing BiJ, Rock Band, Portal 2, The Gamers, Sean's Zelda II playthrough, Fire Emblem Engage, Oath, Battlestar Galactica/Unfathomable, Reaganomics, video game addiction, Wesley Crusher-themed emo band names, an easy 2 Unlimited dunk, Metal Gear Solid, the cube from the film The Cube, Dread, Cluedon't, the Norwegian LARP scene, The Mountain Goats, I Only Listen To The Mountain Goats, Charlie Goes Off On One About OneD&D, Fucking Drizzt.

Metal Gear Solid is a story. A story about a snake. Wait, no.. a story about a MAN. Solid Snake. That's as deep as we are willing to go, because it seems like you could spend the rest of your life dissecting the story of Metal Gear Solid if you wanted.. and we do not.

Chris and Will explore the meaning behind New Year's traditions and the power of intentional goal‑setting while sharing news about Chris' upcoming 2026 book, new shows in development, and their three‑year renewal. The episode also features a special interview with legendary voice actor Cam Clarke, known for iconic roles like Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid. Blending heartfelt storytelling and creative insight, the finale closes Season 6 with warmth, gratitude, and a hopeful message for the year ahead.

What makes a great boss fight? Is it brutal difficulty, unforgettable music, smart mechanics, emotional story stakes, or all of the above? In this episode, we dive headfirst into our favorite boss fights of all time and break down why they stick with us. From multi-phase nightmares and clever multi-target designs to cinematic showpieces and secret "god mode" finales, we cover it all. We talk legendary encounters from games like Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Dragoon, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Sekiro, Final Fantasy, Hollow Knight Silksong, Katana Zero, Stellar Blade, and more. Plus how music, atmosphere, and narrative twists can elevate a boss fight from "hard" to iconic. Expect passionate debates, deep dives into boss design, surprise K-pop battle themes, emotional gut-punches, secret bosses you probably missed, and a whole lot of love for games that dare to challenge the player.   #gamingpodcast #videogamepodcast #gamingsofficialpodcast Youtube Instagram

Despite any gripes with Xbox this year, there's no denying that 2026 presents a fun challenge for them. Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo, and Gears Of War E-Day are all slated to drop next year. However, a new wrinkle has been introduced in the ambitious RPG, Clockwork Revolution, which hails from inXile Entertainment. After a seven minute trailer from this summer's showcase, we felt this thing had to be ready to go soon. Sadly, the RPG titan tempered our expectations when the trailer ended with the familiar statement from its initial reveal: "Coming in due time." Well, if a LinkedIn profile is to be believed, Clockwork Revolution may join the fray of a busy year for the "biggest publisher in gaming." Naturally, we hone in on GTA 6 which creates a splash radius so large that every publisher will be avoiding them for the fall. How Xbox navigates this will be interesting as we have yet to consider overdue titles like State Of Decay 3 and third party deals. Buckle up, friends! It's going to be a wild ride.

Today on Too Opinionated we sit down with actor Cam Clarke.   For many American families, the King family defined Christmas entertainment. "Now They're All Here: The King Family, Over 100 Years of Entertainment From America's First Family of Song" is a not only a complete history of the famous King family, but a story of author, Cam Clarke's, life in front of and behind the camera.   "Now They're All Here: The King Family " is more than just a celebration of television history; it's a family album from one of America's most iconic entertainment families. The King Family has been performing together (and with solo careers) since the 1920s: vaudeville, radio, musical films of the 1940s, kitschy sci-fi from the 1950s, tours across the country, recordings in musical genres from jazz and big band to Broadway and pop—even cartoons and video games. Cameron Arthur Clarke is an American voice actor who is known for voicing Leonardo and Rocksteady from the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, Shotaro Kaneda from Akira, Freddy from the Barnyard franchise, Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, Clay Kaczmarek from Assassin's Creed II and Simba from The Lion King franchise whenever Matthew Broderick is unavailable.  Cam is also known for being the voice for Snoopy (Snoopy the Musical/Talking Snoopy Doll),  Max Sterling in Robotech, He-Man in the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the tween idol, Heath Burns, in the original Monster High, and Professor X in several X-Men properties.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

This week on State of the Save, Michael and Eric dive into two famously ambitious but undeniably flawed games: Hulk for the PlayStation 2 and Obsidian's cult-favorite spy RPG Alpha Protocol. From chaotic superhero destruction to branching espionage gone off the rails, both titles spark a deeper conversation about what makes broken-but-bold games so fascinating.Michael also shares his time with Guilty Gear Strive, exploring its insane characters and bonkers style, along with the surprisingly deep Kirby Air Riders. Eric checks in with an update on his growing CloverPit addiction and how it's shaping his week in gaming, and his return to Night City in Cyberpunk 2077.Looking ahead, our next episode will be our annual Holiday Special, where we break down our favorite games of the year and highlight the releases that defined our 2024 playlists.Then, starting in January, we're bringing back the classic GameClub format for a full three-part deep dive into Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Just like our earlier GameClub series, we'll take the game section by section, analyzing story beats, gameplay systems, major themes, standout moments, and the legacy it left behind.Follow @StateOfTheSave on Instagram and Bluesky for updates, and catch streams, clips, and highlights on YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.

Deze vodcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door NVIDIA. Alle meningen in deze vodcast zijn onze eigen. NVIDIA heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en ziet de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily. In deze gaming vodcast praten twee presentatoren van Gamekings over het laatste nieuws uit de wereld der videogames. Immer vergezeld van een pittige mening. JJ wordt ditmaal vergezeld door Koos, die inmiddels van zijn jetlag af is. Hij zit dus fris en fruitig in de studio klaar. Getweeën praten ze over de prijs van de Steam Machine, die nu Valve niks zegt, gewoon ingevuld wordt door de experts. Ook kijken de twee wat vooruit op de aankomende The Game Awards. Want daar was opeens die vage tease van Geoff Keighley die een screenshot van een boom in de Mojave woestijn toonde. Voor welke game kan dit zijn? De antwoorden op deze vragen kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 1 december 2025.Steam Machine gaat volgens de kenners 699 euro kostenEen ander topic betreft de uitspraak van Konami dat ze nog niet weten welke Metal Gear Solid ze hierna gaan remaken. Plus de remake van Metal Gear Solid 4 gaat zeer, zeer lastig worden. Waarom dat is, hoor je in deze video. JJ en Koos spreken tot slot ook over Hollow Knight: Silksong dat nu al de handdoek in de ring gooit bij The Game Awards. Ze hebben gelukkig ook een leuke mededeling voor de fans. Plus PlayStation komt met een stablecoin.Pak honderden euro's korting op desktops en laptops met de NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPU aan boordOp zoek naar een dikke videokaart, een nieuwe PC of een laptop?

And while I've played some GREAT PS2 games for the podcast, God of War II might just be the best of the bunch.I've loved the modern God of War games, and whenI finally played the OG a few years ago I thought it was really solid. I've been looking forward to diving into the rest of the series ever since, and hey hell, the sequel did not disappoint. In my opinion, this game raises the bar in every way from the first game. Better story, better graphics, MUCH better pacing, and more incredible boss fights. I don't even mind the reliance on QTEs (minus the Zeus fight, which is a little cheap).My guest this week is our resident Stpd Mnky, my buddy Daniel. He was there for the original God of War episode, and he's back for round 2 to help me remember the names of all these stupid Gods and to help me sing the praises of just a fantastic game. He'll be back for part III, and I can assure you it won't take another 4 years to get there.And before we take on the Gods, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, a new game collector asks for a little advice. Do 'spiritual successor' games ever live up to expectations? And am I planning on picking up any games on Black Friday??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PS2 heavyweights: Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2, and GTA San Andreas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last year, Sony launched it's service-based third-person shooter Concord, and it bombed worse than virtually any PlayStation-developed title in history. In fact, it was received so poorly that Sony disappeared it off the market in a matter of two weeks, gave everyone their money back, and snuffed the entire project out of existence while closing the studio that made it. Fast-forward more than a year, though, and Concord has kinda-sorta returned. Tech-savvy enthusiasts have revived the game on private servers, but Sony has already caught wind of it all and are working to nip it in the bud. Do we really need Concord to return? Why does Sony care if it does? And why do smart people work so diligently on things they don't own or have control over? Plus: Black Friday will be exceptionally nice for those looking for PlayStation hardware, accessories, and games, Sony dominates The Game Awards nominations with 19, Bungie prods its playerbase for ideas on how to improve Destiny 2, EA's F1 series is taking a year hiatus, possibly indicating the future of EA Sports, Peacock renews Twisted Metal for a third season, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we keep the physical boxes for our gaming hardware? Would Sony ever revive The Legend of Dragoon? How does one navigate gaming's ragebait culture?

John and Ryan also share their experiences with Cyberpunk 2077, Metal Gear Solid, and The Witcher. The conversation heats up as the trio debates GameStop's outrageous “trade anything” promotion—marketing genius or pure chaos?

In der neuen Folge unseres noch jungen Formats Sammlerfreuden sprechen Benedikt und Andy über besondere Stücke aus ihrer PlayStation-Spielesammlung. Wo Andy unter anderem mit aufwendigen Editionen von JRPGs wie Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, sämtlichen Teilen der Namco-Museum-Kompilation sowie nahezu allen für die erste Sony-Konsole veröffentlichten Squaresoft-Spielen aufwarten kann, ist Benedikts Sammlung deutlich bescheidener. Dafür wecken die (so gut wie neue) PAL-Version von Silent Hill sowie das Metal Gear Solid: Limited Edition Premium Package viele spannende Erinnerungen an seine Zeit bei der Fun Generation sowie dem Wormser Publisher Blackstar Interactive. Viel Vergnügen mit dieser Folge, Benedikt & Andy Laufzeit dieser Folge: 0:55:53 Stunden / Schnitt: Manuel Lavella

There comes a time in every gamer's life when they have to reconcile that their favorite IP is immutably changed for the worse and it'll never be able to return to the pinnacle of greatness it once held in the social zeitgeist of the gaming world. This is true for Sonic, Metal Gear Solid, Need for Speed (who are we kidding NFS was probably never great) and now most importantly Halo.In this episode, Will and I provide a full review of the Halo Infinite Co-Op campaign and are ready to share the good, the bad and the ugly - and let me tell you there's a whole lot of of the latter. WARNING: We're not discussing the multiplayer other than to say we enjoyed our time in 2021. Will and I are ready to let go of Master Chief and let him ride off into the sunset.

On this week's episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, John and Ryan share the latest additions to their gaming collections before diving into what they're currently playing—John continues his long trek through The Witcher, while Ryan experiences Metal Gear Solid for the very first time. The duo then shift gears to industry news, discussing Nintendo's recent revelation about the percentage of Switch 2 owners who upgraded from the original Switch, Tencent's unusual “Mickey Mouse defense” in its court battle with Sony, and the U.S. Patent Office's decision to reexamine Nintendo's patent on summoning mechanics. Wrapping things up, the guys take a nostalgic detour with a quirky retro review of Mega Man Soccer for the SNES, debating whether this oddball spin-off is a hidden gem or simply a relic best left in the past.   00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Current Games 03:21 Nintendo's Patent Issues and Market Trends 06:02 Exploring the Witcher Series and Gameplay Experiences 09:04 Ryan's Metal Gear Solid Journey 12:06 Dungeons & Dragons Update 15:17 Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales and Consumer Loyalty 18:13 Nintendo's Patent Controversy 28:56 Patent Controversies and Gaming Mechanics 32:43 The Impact of Competition on Nintendo 34:44 Crafting Games and Market Dynamics 36:53 Trademark Battles and Character Design 45:29 Mega Man Soccer: A Frustrating Experience 55:22 Outro   Want more Game Deflators content?

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.

Michael and Eric return for another episode of State of the Save, diving deep into two wildly different retro experiences. Michael takes on Metal Gear Acid for PSP—a tactical, card-based spin on the Metal Gear Solid series with a plot twist no one will see coming. He also celebrates rolling credits on Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles and admits to falling into Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate thanks to some questionable impulse control.Meanwhile, Eric embraces the Halloween spirit with Haunting: Starring Polterguy, a Sega Genesis cult classic full of ghoulish humor and haunted hijinks. He also shares his thoughts on Ninja Gaiden 4, exploring how it stacks up to the series' legendary past.To close out the episode, the duo trade picks once again—this time featuring a spooky ghost-ship mystery and a game from one of Eric's favorite series.Follow @StateOfTheSave on Instagram and Bluesky for show updates.

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?

In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with artist Tom Pazderka — a Czech-American painter, sculptor, writer and thinker whose journey from communist Czechoslovakia to America as a teenager has deeply shaped his practice. Born in Český Brod in 1981 and emigrating to the U.S. at age 12, Pazderka says those early years of dual identity and upheaval still echo in his work. LUM+4LUM+4MeetFactory+4We explore his recent achievements — his solo exhibition at the Carolyn Glasoe Bailey Foundation and his award of a residency at Taft Gardens — and how his practice engages with themes of memory, ideology, home and the stark beauty of process. (Pazderka often burns wood panels, layers ash and oil paint and works in monochrome to evoke both the material and metaphoric weight of his experience.) Bender Gallery+1We also talk about how Ojai has become both studio and sanctuary — how the landscape and quiet enable his reflections, and how this community intersects with his work of reinvention, belonging and creation. Join us for a rich conversation about art, exile, finding home and making something new out of what we leave behind.We also talked about El Chapo Traphouse, Slavoj Zizek and Metal Gear Solid. We did not talk about Rene Girard, Martin Heidegger or Grand Theft Auto 6.Learn more about Tom and his art at https://tompazderka.com/home.html

Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver stare straight at the end of the world this week. From doomsday conspiracies and nuclear torpedoes to fake Twitter wrestlers and open carry in Florida, the guys explore what it means to live in an era where every day feels like the last. Nash talks about a 6'10” model, a second moon, his social media firestorms, and what he'd do if given absolute power. Then it's back to sports and spectacle: Monday Night Football vs. Monday Night RAW, Dak Prescott's ceiling, the Lions' redemption, and WWE's billion-dollar balancing act in Saudi Arabia. Kevin opens up about marriage, mistakes, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes after a lifetime of highs, losses, and locker room lessons. It's dark, funny, honest, and more than a little fatalistic. The world might be ending—but Nash and Oliver will still have a mic in front of them.

No, you're not still in a dream: Metal Gear Solid 3 is now over two decades old. Despite its age, the peak of Hideo Kojima's tactical espionage action series remains more relevant than ever thanks to a shiny, new remake released this year. But is Delta's faithfulness its fatal flaw? On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Maddie Copp, and Brendan James (of the Blowback podcast and Chapo Trap House's new MGS miniseries) as the crew decides if feeding on a tree frog in stunning 4K is truly worthwhile.

With practically every “important” PlayStation 2 game being remastered, remade, and reimagined, it wasn't a surprise when Konami announced Metal Gear Solid Delta. The question wasn't “would it exist?”, but “should it exist?” This week, The Besties discuss why Metal Gear Solid 3 benefits from a high-definition, low-tweak update. And they debate just how loyal a remake should be to its source material. Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes?

In 1998, the world was ruled by Rayman. You could not go anywhere without seeing Rayman street art. Thousands of children died attempting to cut their own limbs off and suspend them from midair. All that changed when Solid Snake was brought into the third dimension. Brendan and Felix kick off their journey through the greatest story ever told by surfacing onto Shadow Moses. This is where Solid Snake realized he could be more than just a paid killer, Meryl Silverburgh witnessed the ugly reality of war, Roy Campbell was promoted from uncle to father, and Liquid Snake didn't actually achieve much of anything besides scoring some sunglasses off of a former member of his dad's love triangle. Put on your sneaking suit, let some strange woman shoot some crap into your arm, and soak your cardboard boxes in urine. It's time to fight your brother through various states of undress.
