The 8bA Podcast is a podcast bringing you the latest and greatest geeky news of the past week.NEWS ITEMSActivision Blizzard. IGN reports that the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard deal has gone through, and that Bobby Kotick will step down as CEO as of January 1, 2024. Although Kotick will receive at least $390M in stocks and incentives, the Communication Workers of America union views the buyout favorably, as Microsoft has committed to remaining neutral with regard to unionization discussions.Animal Crossing. IGN and GameInformer report that Nintendo is once again teaming up with LEGO to develop five Animal Crossing sets. They will release in March 2024 and feature Isabelle, Tom Nook, Kapp'n, and a few villagers (Rosie, Bunnie, Marshal, and Julian). The sets have a similar structure and feel to the Mario and Donkey Kong-themed sets. Prices range from $15-75.CD Projekt Red. Eurogamer reports that employees at the Polish development studio have formed a union in response to three rounds of layoffs that affected 159 staff members across various studios. The union is part of the national OZZ IP union. Membership, however, does not extend to Vancouver-based staff or anyone not on a Polish contract.EPIC. The Verge reports that the Unreal Engine developer is changing the pricing structure of the software for individuals not involved with game development, such as film- and automakers. The new structure will move to per-set pricing, which is consistent with software like Creative Cloud. Unreal Engine will continue to use its current pricing structure for game developers, and educators and students will still be able to use it for free.IGN, meanwhile, reports that EPIC and Psyonix will no longer allow item trading in Rocket League to bring the game in line with its other properties that have item shops. The claim is that this will allow Rocket League vehicles to come to other EPIC games, supporting cross-game ownership. The change will go into effect on December 5th.PlayStation. The Verge reports that Sony will be bringing cloud-streamed PS5 to various regions throughout October. This is a feature available to PlayStation Plus Premium members. Japan will be the first region on October 17th, followed by Europe on the 23rd, and finally North America on the 30th. Sony has not announced which titles will be available yet but will include those from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, digital games players own like Resident Evil 4, Genshin Impact, and Fortnite, and trials for games like Hogwarts Legacy and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.Stardew Valley. Polygon reports that Festival of Seasons, a Stardew Valley concert tour by SOHO Live, will be starting an international circuit on February 17th, 2024. Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) announced tour dates and locations on Twitter, but notably the tour will include Boston on 2/23 and NYC on 2/29. Tickets are now on sale.Unity. TheVerge and GameInformer report that CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately. Unity's interim CEO, James Whitehurst, is an advisor at Silver Lake, a private equity firm that owns roughly 9% of Unity. This comes in the wake of the disastrous pricing fee structure announcement that Unity has since walked back.LINKSWebsite: https://8-bitadventures.comPatreon: https://patreon.com/8bitAdventuresMerch: https://8-bitadventures.com/shopJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/FAPKjjQ“1-UP” is by Professor Shyguy.

This week Eric and Nicky discuss Rocket League in a vehicular episode of Press any Button. Rocket league is a vehicle-based soccer game developed by Psyonix. Teams of up to four, use rocket-powered vehicles to hit a ball into their opponent's goal and score points over the course of a match. The game includes single-player and multiplayer modes that can be played both locally and online, including cross-platform play between all versions. About us: Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games - PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games - Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast/ Credits: Nicky Smith Eric Luedtke Music by Mark Spurlock References: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-03-30-why-rocket-league-blew-up-and-its-predecessor-didnt https://whatculture.com/gaming/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-rocket-league?page=7 https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/rocket-league-rl-unreal-engine-5-update/ https://www.earlygame.com/rocket-league/is-rocket-league-dying-rocket-league-2-sequel/

  New interview with SMLE  & ATHENA TV Award-winning video game Rocket League's leading female streamer Athena just announced her first foray into music, joining forces with Grammy-nominated duo smle for their vibrant new single, “Eternal.” Out on Monstercat, the unmatched gamer turned singer-songwriter introduces her powerful vocal chops and pop sensibilities, elevated by smle's masterful production skills. The upbeat, energetic single is currently Rocket League's main menu track and will soon feature as a Player Anthem in the game's Item Shop, a crossover that bridges Athena's dedicated community with her exciting new music endeavors. Athena shares, “Creating “Eternal” will forever be a pivotal moment in my life. Music has always been a huge passion of mine, and to be able to create something that has never been done before is unforgettable. I hope everyone can feel how much heart we have put into this song. Get excited for more future releases!” smle adds, “‘Eternal' is a pretty special moment for us, Athena, and the music and gaming worlds. It's the first time a Rocket League content creator pairs up with an artist who's had in-game music to make a song specifically for the game. It's been so fun getting everything together for this - from having some of the other top Rocket League content creators cameo in the video, to working closely with Monstercat and Psyonix to make this a major moment, has been nothing short of exciting. We hope those listening feel as energized as we are, because this one's really special to us.” Arriving with the single, the “Eternal” music video follows Athena as she gears up for a Mad Max-style race in the desert against smle and fellow Rocket League streamers Rizzo and SunlessKhan. While the queen holds the 'eternal' potion prize at the finish line, smle and Athena discreetly work together to beat the others and ride off with their magic serum into the sunset. Emmy-nominated director Rick Wayne, known for his work with brands like NIKE, Bud Light, and McDonald's, along with producer Danny Pollack, known for his work with artists like The White Stripes, Alesso, and Machine Gun Kelly, deliberately centered the video around cars as a nod to the artists' involvement in Rocket League.  

Psyonix has announced Rocket League Sideswipe, which is a brand new mobile Rocket League game that's releasing later this year on iOS and Android devices. Those in Australia and New Zealand that have an Android device can try the game today in an Alpha test that's exclusive to our region. Rocket League Sideswipe brings the competitive gameplay of Rocket League to the mobile screens with a new side camera perspective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bienvenidas a GAMELX el podcast de noticias sobre videojuegos. Aquí hablamos de PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo y PC. Estamos a día 7 de Marzo del 2021. Y desde aquí queremos felicitar el día internacional de la mujer mañana 8 de marzo. Es por ello que en su lucha de obtener la igualdad en un 50-50 para el 2030 desde aquí una servidorá os hablará en femenino el resto del capítulo. Empezamos con Epic Games que anunció hace unos días la compra de Mediatonic, los creadores del popular juego Fall Guys. Como bien comentan ambas partes. No se verán afectadas las versiones tanto de PC como de Nintendo Switch y Xbox. Asímismo sus creadores Dave Bailey y Paul Croft han querido pronunciar unas palabras. “En Mediatonic solemos decir que todos merecen un juego que se sienta hecho para ellos. Con Epic sentimos que hemos encontrado un hogar para nosotros. Comparten nuestra misión de crear y apoyar juegos que tienen un impacto positivo, empoderan a otros y resisten la prueba del tiempo, y no podríamos estar más emocionados de unir fuerzas con su equipo.” También Tim Sweeney CEO de Epic Games ha comentado lo siguiente: No es ningún secreto que Epic Games invierte en la construcción del metaverso y Mediatonic comparte ese objetivo. Mientras Epic trabaja para construir ese futuro virtual, necesitamos un gran talento creativo que sepa cómo crear juegos, contenidos y experiencias. https://www.vidaextra.com/industria/epic-games-acaba-comprar-a-mediatonic-creadores-fall-guys Después viene una noticia relacionada con Nintendo Switch. Según el último reporte llegaría una nueva Nintendo Switch 4K para las navidades del 2021. Parece ser que Samsung estaría fabricando unas nuevas pantallas OLED con 7 pulgadas de pantalla y una resolución de 720p. Además por supuesto 4K al conectarse en televisión. Cuenta más el reporte como que la entrega de pantallas sería en Junio y el ensamblamiento en Julio. Haciendo cálculos debería estar para Navidad. https://kotaku.com/report-new-switch-with-4k-output-oled-screen-will-rel-1846402776 3 juegos españoles consiguen 1 millón de ventas 3 juegos españoles consiguen un millón de venas. Blasphemous que está gratis en Prime Gaming y GRIS y Moonlighter venden 1 millón Sony acaba de anunciar que deja de vender y alquilar series o películas en su plataforma PlayStation Store que terminará en Agosto. Algo lógico contra la fuerte demanda con plataformas como Netflix o Amazon Prime. Así pues solo tenéis hasta el 31 de Agosto. https://gamasutra.com/view/news/378062/PlayStation_is_getting_out_of_the_movie_and_TV_show_rental_business.php Hace unos días se dió a conocer los The Gayming Awards esponsorizado por EA Games, PlayStation, Xbox, Twitch, Green Man Gaming, Rocksteady Studios, Hangar 13 o Square Enic entre muchos otros. Como comentan estos premios se dieron por Twitch y tratan de concienciar cada vez más el LGTBI en la inclusión en los videojuegos y la sociedad. Entre los ganadores el juego estrella fueron If Found.. disponible en Steam que contiene el siguiente sinopsis “If Found... es un videojuego interactivo sobre la vuelta a casa, la aceptación personal y la posibilidad de borrarlo todo.” If Found… es un videojuego interactivo de DREAMFEEL sobre la búsqueda de una conexión. El 31 de diciembre de 1993, en las ruinas de una mansión situada en Achill Island, Kasio destruye su diario. Cuenta la historia del regreso a su casa en el oeste de Irlanda, el conflicto con su familia, las amistades que entabla y los desafíos a los que se enfrenta. También encontramos a Tell my why y Hades entre los ganadores. Gayming Magazine https://www.industrygayming.com/the-gayming-awards-2021-winners-revealed/ También tenemos noticias sobre la historia del videojuego. En este caso es una pequeña GRAN anecdota sobre Unreal Engine Tournament 2003. Resulta que un Dave Hagewood fundador de Psyonix empezó un día a realizar un mod para el juego citado anteriormente. Si sois demasiado jóvenes o los shooters os pillan desprevenidos. Fue una de las franquicias por antonomasia del motor Unreal Engine. Era un first person shooter que evolucionó a la captura de banderas por equipos. Pues ese mod incorporaba vehículos a ese juego. El nombre que le dió Dave fue el de Onslaught. Los creadores del juego se fijaron en este sorprendente mod e incorporaron a Dave dentro de las filas de Epic Games como un trabajador más. Dando de forma oficial a un modo oficial para Unreal Tournament 2004 llamado Onslaught también. Poco tiempo después nuevas ideas que no se incluyeron en Unreal Tournament 2014 fueron floreciendo. Alguien incluyó una bola y poco después propulsores. Incluso se dieron cuenta que podían empujar la bola e incluso volar por el escenario. Y aquí es donde Dave pretendía desde siempre montar su propio estudio llamado Psyonix que dió a luz un juego para PS3 llamado Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars (SARPBC, abreviando) para PS3. El juego que podéis ver en las notas del programa del podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1iWDX5gPPo Saldría años más tarde en una versión gratuita para PS4 que fue un bombazo y ahí el nombre Rocket League fue historia. La viralización, el PS Plus y las rápidas conexiones con el potente online sociable hizo historia. Aquí termina esta curiosa anécdota que nos hemos topado. https://www.vidaextra.com/industria/dia-que-unreal-tournament-2004-planto-semilla-para-creacion-rocket-league Seguimos con PlayStation y sus ofertas. Tenéis el PlayStation Plus a 4,99€ por tiempo limitado que además regalan Final Fantasy VII Remake. Ahora nos adentramos en las mazmorras más profundas y peligrosas de la mano de Blizzard. Concretamente los creadores de Blizzard avisan de que podrás recuperar las antiguas partidas de Diablo 2 en Diablo 2 Resurrected tras 20 años. https://www.vidaextra.com/rpg/no-borres-tus-partidas-antiguas-diablo-ii-resurrected-aceptara-tus-archivos-guardados-titulo-original Otra compañía que avisa a sus usuarios es Square-Enix con su juego Marvel’s Avengers que han decidido hacer más complicada la dificultad del juego. Animan a sus jugadores a que aprovechen estos últimos días para subir de nivel pues la curva de dificultad será más elevada y costará mucho más ascender en el juego. https://www.vidaextra.com/accion/marvels-avengers-hara-dificil-subir-nivel-a-personajes-avisa-a-jugadores-que-quieren-subirlo-rapido-hagan-antes-cambios Para ir finalizando tenemos una patente de Sony que permitirá jugar con cualquier objeto de la cas incluiro un platano a modo de mando de videoconsola. Ataño salió un accesorio llamado Makey Makey por kickstarter que permitía algo similar con un mando usb y unos cables que hacían un circuito cerrado. Permitía generar un mando con cualquier objeto que transmitiera algo de corriente. La patente una tónica habitual de las compañías para proteger su propiedad industrial. Revela que Sony habró comillas “se podría usar cualquier objeto pasivo no luminoso sostenido por un usuario" El funcionamiento se haría por una cámara que detectaría los píxeles, contornos y colores al ser sostenidos por las manos de los usuarios. Intuyo que será una versión mejorada de los teclados láser que proyectan un teclado sobre cualquier superficie. https://www.vidaextra.com/industria/sony-presenta-patente-puedas-usar-como-mando-cualquier-objeto-que-tengas-casa-incluso-platano Y terminamos con una polémica muy sonada y algo bochornosa. Un videojuego que tenía que salir sin problemas en Steam llamado The Sinking City. Ha tenido que ser retirado pues entre la editora Nacon y la desarrolladora Frogwares. Los desarrolladores acusan a Nacon de publicar el juego “pirateado” sin su consentimiento en Steam. Sin embargo Nacon comenta que inviertieron 10 millones con campañas de marketing incluido. Y que ellos publicaron el juego en Steam sin mencionar a Nacon siquiera. Parece que esto va para largo y seguirán de juicio en juicio. La pregunta que nos hacemos es ¿Recuperarán la inversión? ¿Hasta que punto han llegado a un final tan catastrófico? https://www.vidaextra.com/aventura-plataformas/nacon-defiende-ser-distribuidor-exclusivo-the-sinking-city-steam-asegura-que-frogwares-esta-saboteando-sus-inversiones-titulo Hasta la semana que viene y no os olvidéis de dejarnos una valoración de 5 estrellas en iTunes, suscribiros en Spotify como iVoox.

On this week's Driving-N-Heels Laura Reynolds talks directly to Ford Motor Company and gamers you'll want to listen up. Ford has partnered with Psyonix to create a custom F-150 for Rocket League. Then we'll hear from General Motors about Cadillac's first entrant into the luxury electric vehicle market, the Cadillac Lyriq SUV!

Ford's integration of F-150 hits on every level. Get the car into the game, grab billboard space in-game for esports events, create ad voiced by Bryan Cranston and a freestyle competition?

Rocket League is finally going F2P! It always felt like a when - not if - but over a year after being acquired by Epic Games, Rocket League is dropping the price tag as it moves over to the Epic Games Store. Also in this show we discuss NRG's unique idea to shop the name of the Rocket League team to a brand partner.

The Field is a new initiative from Psyonix that will give Rocket League on of the clearest ramps into becoming an esports professional. With three divisions under the RLRS, there are now five different leagues offering promotion and relegation to reach the top level. In addition to The Field, Psyonix is also hinting at a major announcement for RLCS S10 (RLCS X) but, as of publishing, that announcement hasn't been released.

After 13 teams reached out to Psyonix about the handling of Rocket League esports, the entire esports scene is changing.

The real reason Rocket League is dropping support for Linux, Wine has a massive release, and the potential for Canonical's new Android in the cloud service. Plus, our take on the FSF's Upcycle Windows 7 campaign, and the clever Chrome OS strategy upgrade for education in 2020.

Katana Zero is that indie game we've all been waiting for this year. Produced over a period of 6 years by one developer, this is a cyberpunk, neo-noir style side scrolling action game. It reminds us quickly of Celeste gameplay but the story here is so well delivered and the gameplay is incredible. We also get back into World War Z since Brett convinces Austin to finally get it. Our review covers all episodes but the Tokyo level. In our news, there is a lot of virtual reality news this week. Valve has announced their Index headset which sold out in 30 minutes, Oculus is shipping their new headsets by the end of the month and we are getting a flagship Valve game in VR by the end of the year. Epic Games is making moves and they recently just acquired Rocket League's developer Psyonix. There are also hints a Left 4 Dead 3 is in production. In our discussion,we talk about the live stream showcasing gameplay from Borderlands 3. It looks incredible and we dive into some of the new features that come with the game. We also talk about some of the controversy that Randy Pitchford can't seem to avoid with him taking offense to an article clarifying what was said during the live stream. Either way, we're excited for Borderlands 3. Check out video clips of our news every week over on YouTube.

James, Matt and Rebekah discuss the biggest games industry stories of the week -- much of which centres around confusion. First, there's the contradicting stories as to whether or not Borderlands 3 has microtransactions. While Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford said quite clearly on stage that it doesn't -- our own Rebekah Valentine was in the room when he said this -- his own developers, and 19 hours of Pitchford's own tweets suggest otherwise. Then Epic's announcement that it had acquired Rocket League developer Psyonix raised the question of whether or not the game would continue to be made available through Steam. At first the firm suggested (unsurprisingly) that it will become exclusive to the Epic Games Store, before retracting this and assuring it will remain available on Valve's marketplace -- although perhaps not in the long term. And finally, Valve announced its high-end VR offering, the Index, with its finger-tracking and hefty price tags. Rebekah was able to try the device out for herself, but with the firm promising that these will be compatible with all previous VR games and that it's not planning on making exclusive titles that use the Index's impressive technology, it's not overly clear what Valve's strategy for the device might be.
