The 8bA Podcast is a podcast bringing you the latest and greatest geeky news of the past week.NEWS ITEMSBluey. IGN reports that a Bluey game is in development from Outright Games and BBC Studios. The game will feature all four of the show's main characters and include an original story, but also feature familiar activities. The game will have 4-player coop, and seamlessly matches the cartoon's art style. Bluey: The Video Game will release on Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC on November 17.Cult of the Lamb. Polygon reports that Massive Monster will not, in fact, take the game offline on January 1st, but will experience delays on new projects as dev teams switch to new engines.Dungeons & Dragons. Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk released today. The updated starter adventure will include new material up to 12th level and feature a longer, sinister plot involving mind flayers and other aberrant denizens of the Underdark.Embracer. Game Developer reports that the Embracer-owned studios Beamdog and Crystal Dynamics have laid off employees as part of Embracer's restructuring efforts. 26 employees were let go from Beamdog, which include producers, artists, and QA staff. Affected departments at Crystal Dynamics include project management, PR, editing, and 2D art.Final Fantasy XIV. SiliconEra reports that Square-Enix has announced a new TTRPG based on the popular MMORPG. The starter set will release May 2024 for $59.99, and will include a Player Book, GM book, premade character sheets (Warrior, White Mage, Dragoon, and Black Mage), a set of dice (6d20 and 10d6), a rules summary, strategy guide, encounter map, character tokens, and ability markers. The recommended party size is 3-5, including a GM.Re-Logic. GamesRadar reports that the Terraria developer plans to donate $100k each to two open source engines (Godot and FNA), with $1,000 monthly donations to both moving forward. In Re-Logic's statement, they, “unequivocally condemn and reject the recent TOS/fee changes proposed by Unity and the underhanded way they were rolled out. The flippant manner with which years of trust cultivated by Unity were cast aside for yet another way to squeeze publishers, studios, and gamers is the saddest part. That this move was wholly unnecessary pushes things into the tragedy category - a cautionary tale the industry will not soon forget.”Unity. Bloomberg (Jason Schreier) reports that Unity might consider limiting total fees to 4% of a game's revenue, and suggests this limit would apply to customers making over $1M. The fees would also rely on developers self-reporting installation numbers.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.

Pick your best boy or girl and join us as we cover Fire Emblem: Three Houses with special guest Six Dettmar! With the help of Koei Tecmo, Intelligent Systems (and Nintendo) turned the franchise around after the questionable Fire Emblem Fates. The result was an ambitious mix of mature themes, meaningful character development, branching narrative paths, dating simulation, and, of course, anime chess. Six Dettmar's shows on Scanline Media (http://scanlinemedia.com/) Allisa James on Siliconera (https://www.siliconera.com/author/ajamessiliconera/) and Techradar (https://www.techradar.com/author/allisa-james)

Less than a month until TGS 2021, we have the outline of events for the show. I'll go down the list, highlight the big moments, and speculate what we might see. Always the highlight of the JRPG year, let's hope for a great event! We've got news from SMT V about its characters and systems. Demon Gaze EXTRA has a release date, and surprise it's a worldwide one. Final Fantasy titles are coming to Playstation Now as FF XIII hits Xbox Gamepass. I've got first details about a new game coming to PC in Q1 2022: Rise of the Third Power. The retro looking title is another love letter to SNES JRPG's and looks very interesting. Curious what exactly is in Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 1? I read a great article from Siliconera all about the two PS2 classics included. Lastly I have two interviews with the teams behind Tales of Luminaria and the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. Leave us a 5 star review on Apple and I'll read it on an upcoming podcast!

As with all rumors this one could be false. But it makes sense and has some ground to stand on. I'll report why I think this is true and why I want it to be true as a huge Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fan. I hope we get confirmation of the game at TGS next month In non rumor news Tales of Arise is getting a demo on August 18. Consoles gamers (sorry PC) will get a short preview of the game although save data will not carry over. At the end of the podcast I'll read Siliconera's preview of the first few hours of the game. This may indeed be the same portion of the game the demo covers. SMT V got a new trailer last night as well as a few other games, so you'll want to check our Youtube page for all the new videos of the week. There you will find a gameplay video for 35 minutes of Blue Reflection Second Light. Thanks for listening as always!

In From Japan's Statement Against Hate & Abuse: We're a small podcast & this should go without saying, but to make it clear: If you're racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, hateful in any way, or a manipulative predator/abuser, then you're not welcome in our community & we don't want you anywhere near our podcast.

Este é o Supernovas Show – a sua dose de notícias semanais, totalmente pretensiosas. MATERIA DE CAPA: ÓDIO E RACISMO A ZERO GRAU Causar caos em troca de audiência já é uma tática conhecida em várias mídias. Pânico na Jovem Pan, Ratinho, Casos de Família, no SBT. Existe até o jornalismo carniceiro: lembra de Linha Direta na Globo? E o que falar do Datena? Pois é. O advento do You Tube e afins trouxe adaptações disto. Isso chamou tanto os lordes do caos quanto os paladinos da luz, a polícia da internet. Em comum, ambos querem alcançar sua atenção e terem seus egos alimentados com ração de primeira. As vezes é difícil até de separar o que são personagens criados por esses criadores de conteúdo e o que é só uma forma velada de liberdade expressão muito torta. Aliás, permita-me desviar por um segundo para o governo, onde um sujeito se aproveita de sua cor e seu sobrenome para paquerar ideologias que lembram estranhamente personalidades que vimos em livros de histórias que contavam histórias da década de 40. E faz vídeos com um guarda-chuvas. Sem saber segurar com mãos firmes o profissionalismo, esses paladinos e esses agentes do caos vivem cometendo meu mesmo erro anterior aqui, de me desviar do que você veio fazer aqui: Me ouvir falar de videogames. Ainda em mente de adolescente mas corpo de homem feito, Christopher, outrora chamado por sua base de fãs de ‘Chief’, junto de outros apoiadores, resolvem há alguns anos se instalar na cultura de jogos, especificamente na marca Xbox. O tom de reforço a uma guerra de consoles que eles fazem é charmoso a donos de aparelhos da Microsoft, os mais novos de idade e que gostariam de validar o seu suado dinheiro e investimento na plataforma principalmente. Sempre foi tema-alvo a marca PlayStation, um alvo fácil. E isso poderia ser feito de forma saudável se então não viesse a tona quem realmente são essas pessoas e o que elas pensam. E o pior: o poder de influência que elas possuem vai junto no panfleto pregando ódio à outra marca, escondendo em plenas vistas condutas nada saudáveis para a comunidade como um todo, e adivinhem: para a propria marca Xbox. Muitos anos depois, num ano onde o incorreto nunca teve tanta voz no mundo por causa de nossas proprias leis de liberdade de expressão (sem consultar o bom senso), O canal Xbox Mil Grau obteve a atenção que sempre quis da propria Xbox oficial, porém não da forma esperada (não sei como eles esperavam algo diferente). Numa live, foi possível ouvir “têm que voltar para a senzala. Nunca deveria ter deixado de ser escravo. Se é para ser isso daí a cultura dos caras”. Ou em outros momentos “é cultura negra essa? Então é bem bosta mesmo”. Em retratação (interna, para eles mesmos) os membros dizem que as frases estão fora de contexto, porém o silêncio que segue as declarações racistas e então as risadas claramente denotam o tom de deboche, fazem somente piorar a situação. “Além disso, clips editados e fora de contexto foram jogados na internet unicamente para prejudicá-lo e prejudicar o canal.” A coisa chegou a um ponto em que a propria Xbox Brasil twitou: “O conteúdo da conta Mil Grau não reflete nossos valores fundamentais de respeito, diversidade e inclusão. Nós já exigimos a remoção imediata da nossa marca dos seus canais, por meio das empresas de redes sociais.” Ainda não era suficiente, claro, e uma posição mais concreta foi cobrada. Logo então, com o passar do dia, vimos o canal sendo banido no Twitch, porém por apenas um mês, o que é considerado um absurdo visto que a punição é parecida com as punições tomadas por pessoas que simplesmente falam algum palavrão ou coisas muito mais leves. Depois, o caso chegou ao Phil Spencer, isso mesmo, no core do Xbox. Na esperança de não terem seus vídeo denunciados, o canal tornou toda a “obra” então privada no You Tube, o que pouco adiantou, pois as pessoas fizeram denúncias ao canal como um todo. Mas não adiantava, a propria marca Xbox demandou que retirassem tudo que fosse ligado a sua marca, o que seria impossível, pois infelizmente um dos maiores esforços deles é de pintar tudo de verde e exaltar como elogio até os defeitos da plataforma. Hoje (05) , os vídeos e canal foram removidos, embora eles tenham tentado mudar para o nome XMG e o que sobrou foi apenas um secto de pessoas copiando o extinto canal na esperança de pescar alguns inscritos desavisados. Os problemas do mundo real já perseguem o canal faz um tempo. Sob processos tomados por conta dos jornalistas, o canal seguia debochando de tudo e todos que fossem contrários a suas opiniões. Até o último momento em que nossa equipe pôde observar no canal deles, Xbox Mil Grua estava sob uma posição extremamente passiva agressiva, ainda imersos no mundo dos jogos, culpando a base PlayStation por tudo, quando na verdade tudo que estava em torno era muito maior que games. O mais lamentável era a fanbase, doando valores consideráveis (chegamos testemunhar doações de 100 euros), pela causa, enquanto tudo de ruim acontece com a economia no país. Enquanto a casa caía, Christopher em live estava mais interessado em dizer que recebeu o que plantou: ameaças, tentativas de hacking e todo o tipo de coisa. Óbvio que o detalhe é que ele não percebeu que plantou. No fim das contas, eles foram firmes em suas palavras até o fim, nunca voltando atrás. Isso coroa com perfeição o fim da carreira torta desse grupo de pessoas, que não conseguiu ser profissional em momento algum. AS EMPRESAS DE VIDEOGAMES EM RELAÇÃO AOS EVENTOS RACISTAS NO NORTE DA AMÉRICA Pois filme nacional não convence. Enquanto a gente ouve das pessoas na mídia de que “pensaram em ir nas manifestações de rua” – só pensaram, eis a lista de empresas relacionadas a jogos que agiram de alguma forma a respeito dos eventos nos EUA dessa semana que passou: Sony – Logo após adiar o evento do PS5, repudiou o racismo e disse que “é hora de dar um passo atrás pois existem vozes mais importantes a serem ouvidas neste momento” – não tenha dúvida disso. Naughty Dog e Insominiac foram mais a fundo em suas declarações via Twitter, e a Microsoft, que pouco antes desses eventos estava colhendo histórias da comunidade LGBTQI+ para comemorar o mês do Orgulho, também redirecionou a atenção. Nintendo, Bethesda… a lista vai longe, tamanho impacto do ocorrido no Norte da América. Ver o pronunciamento oficial de gigantes como estas é sempre revigorante, mas outras entendem que não é sobre apenas construir um texto convincente como este aqui do podcast, mas levantar da cadeira e contribuir de alguma forma: Square Enix Japão – A empresa usou todos aqueles dolares nos jogos super faturados da Play Store para doar 250 mil dolares (cerca de 50 milhões de reais) para a Black Lives Matter. Ubisoft – A francesa doa 100,00 dolares para a Black Lives Matter e a NAACP. Para quem está aí há muito tempo, as doações foram maiores. Estamos falando da LEGO, que doou nada menos que 4 milhões a várias organizações com a mesma causa. A Double Fine, um estúdio modesto que agora está sob a batuta da Microsoft também fez um discurso bem contundente em suas redes, seguido de uma doação de 12 mil. Humble Bundle também prepara um programa de arrecadação de 1 milhão; EVO doando 7.500, a Gamees Done Quick doando de antemão 2.500 e prometendo doar o que angariar em suas transmissões vindouras na Twitch (Twitch, vejam, bem, que ironia). Niantic de Pokemon Go liberou 100mil, Devolver 65mil, House House 10mil, e o criador de Journey 20mil. Obsidian Games 25mil, e por fim… a Rockstar fechando seus servidores no GTA por um dia em uma forma de silêncio em memória de George Floyd. Mas nós esperamos de verdade que além de dinheiro, as desenvolvedoras, investidores e publicadoras lancem seus produtos cada vez mais com inclusão, conscientização e cada vez mais com naturalidade e não para mostrar como são brancos caridosos, assim como são os incontáveis influencers e outras pessoas hipócritas, uns que até estão incrivelmente em seu lugar de fala mas claramente estão só de carona para uma chance no estrelato. Obiturário : Resident Evil 3 Remake é isso aí mesmo, sem DLC diz Peter Fabiano(o produtor) Os fãs de Resident Evil 3 Remake que esperavam algum tipo de expansão ou DLC ficarão desapontados, pois foi revelado que esse conteúdo não está em andamento. A informação vem de uma entrevista entre Siliconera e o produtor de Resident Evil 3 Remake, Peter Fabiano. Entre outros tópicos, o veículo de notícias e Fabiano falaram sobre a recepção do título e o que a equipe de desenvolvimento tinha em mente ao criar o jogo. Quando Siliconera perguntou a Fabiano se Resident Evil 3 Remake estava completo ou se o jogo apresentaria alguma atualização em potencial, o produtor afirmou que o jogo é realmente um “produto acabado”. PEQUENOVAS: As notícias são fornecidas pelo site The Gamer. Por quê, SEGA? A Sega está recriando e relançando o Game Gear para comemorar o 30º aniversário de sua única incursão no mundo dos jogos portáteis.Tem algumas coisas que vêm à mente quando as pessoas ouvem o nome Sega. Sonic quase sempre será a primeira coisa que as pessoas pensam quando vêem o nome da empresa. O Genesis, o console icônico e mais bem-sucedido da Sega, pode ser a próxima coisa que vem à mente. Falando em consoles, a Sega nunca conseguiu acompanhar esse hype no Genesis.Embora o Dreamcast e o Saturn tenham e ainda tenham seus fãs leais, nem o grande acompanhamento que a Sega queria que eles fossem. Nenhum dos consoles conseguiu quebrar a marca dos 10 milhões no que diz respeito às unidades vendidas. De fato, o único console da Sega que quebrou esse limite após o Genesis foi o Game Gear. O Game Gear Micro vem em quatro cores diferentes (preto, vermelho, amarelo e azul) e cada cor vem com quatro jogos diferentes. Preto: Sonic,, Puyo Puyo 2, Out Run, Royal Stone Azul: Sonic Chaos, Gunstar Heroes, Sylvan Tale, Baku Baku Animal Amarelo: Shining Force Gaiden: Ensei – Jashin no Kuni he, Shining Force, Shining Force Gaiden, Nazopuyo Aruru no Ru Vermelho: Revelations: The Demon Slayer, Megami Tensei Gaiden, The GG Shinobi, Columns Com apenas 80 mm x 43 mm x 20 mm, o Micro tem menos de 40% do tamanho do Game Gear original. Sua tela mede minúsculos 1,15 polegadas, muito menor que a já minúscula tela de duas polegadas do Game Boy Micro. Quem comprar os quatro consoles receberá a lupa da Sega Big Window, caso pague 27.255 ienes (cerca de US $ 250). Individualmente, os consoles custam 4.980 ienes (US $ 46). Eles estão disponíveis para encomenda agora no Japão, mas não serão lançados até 6 de outubro de 2020. Atualmente, não há informações sobre se serão lançados fora do Japão. Dead Cells chega para Android dois anos após lançamento Desenvolvido pela Motion Twin, o Dead Cells foi lançado em vários consoles em agosto de 2018 e posteriormente portado para o IOS em agosto de 2019. A empresa responsável pela porta iOS, Playdigious, acaba de portá-la para o Android em 3 de junho de 2020.De acordo com o Pocketgamer, a versão Android terá duas opções de tela de toque diferentes para os jogadores usarem, assim como a versão iOS. Existe uma versão original que utiliza botões virtuais para os jogadores navegarem e se moverem ao redor do mundo ou o Auto-Hit, que alguns consideram mais amigável para dispositivos móveis, pois os ataques ocorrem automaticamente enquanto o jogador se move. Embora o jogo tenha sido lançado por pouco tempo, ele já recebeu críticas favoráveis na Google Play Store. O jogo está sendo vendido por US $ 8,99 pelo mesmo preço da Apple Store. Gamasutra informou que os desenvolvedores não estão interessados em uma sequência tão cedo, preferindo portar o jogo para vários dispositivos, introduzir conteúdo adicional e apoiar os esforços de modificação. Não está claro se algo disso será suportado na versão móvel. Mas, por enquanto, os jogadores podem aproveitar o mundo sombrio e sombrio em seus dispositivos móveis. Personagens do N64 vão aparecer no próximo evento de Super Mario Smash Bros O próximo evento em Super Smash Bros. Ultimate está trazendo de volta os dias do Nintendo 64, pois os personagens que apareceram nos jogos N64 aparecerão no Spirit Board e oferecerão mais pontos de experiência do que o habitual. De acordo com a página do Twitter do SmashBrosJP, o evento N64 Spirit Board será realizado de 5 a 7 de junho. Durante esse período, os personagens aparecerão em um horário definido e permitirão que os jogadores batalhem / os adquiram. As pessoas que conquistarem os Spirits N64 receberão um bônus de 6,4 vezes em seus pontos de experiência. Kingdoms of amalur remastered é confirmado para o Xbox One Se você deseja um RPG grande e nostálgico, esse anúncio será como música para seus ouvidos: Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning Remastered está chegando ao Xbox One em agosto. Quase nunca a gente fica um dia sem que uma remasterização, edição em HD, remake ou port inesperado não sejam anunciadas. Lançamentos como os ports de Borderlands e BioShock para Nintendo Switch sempre trazem novos fãs para a franquia (muitos fãs da Nintendo perderam totalmente essas duas franquias até agora) . Kingdoms of Amalur gira em torno do Fateless One, um mortal ressuscitado por meios mágicos. Com seu futuro incerto, ele deve entrar em ação em uma guerra que ameaça separar os povos dos Reinos de Amalur. A conta oficial no Twitter do game, diz este será um pacote definitivo. O jogo será lançado para o Xbox One em 18 de agosto. Rumorlandia: Elden Ring pode nem aparecer mais em 2020 Remaster de Bloodborne pode ser lançado para o Ps5 e pc Resident Evil 8 pode ser anunciado em próximo evento da Sony As pessoas acham que a Sony vai adiar o PS5 devido a algumas pistas.

News: Final Fantasy Explorers: According to Siliconera, Japanese Amazon reviews on the new monster-hunter-like Final Fantasy game note that although people liked the game, most were expecting something MORE similar to Monster Hunter. Insead, there were many complaints that there was too much walking in the game, being compared to Final Fantasy XI. There has been talk of a patch to address these problems, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Final Fantasy XIV: The last patch of the current patch cycle for the game, before the release of Heavensward, patch 2.5 entitled “Before the Fall”, is not only an ominous title, but also a patch of epic proportions. This is what we know about the patch according to Square Enix: “Part one of Before the Fall is scheduled for the mid to end of January with the release of patch 2.5, which contains myriad challenges for adventurers of every persuasion. The patch will include roughly two-thirds of the final main scenario quests, three new dungeons, and the conclusion of the Crystal Tower questline and the World of Darkness. The patch will also feature the adventures of Hildibrand─agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire─on his latest (and perhaps final?) investigation, a new battle against Odin, the Dark Divinity of legend, in Urth’s Fount, new gear for gatherers and crafters, numerous new recipes, and more. We have plenty planned to make this patch a befitting prelude to the end of the 2.X storyline. There will be much to do in patch 2.5, and before we bombard you with more in part 2, we’ll be offering players a change of pace with patch 2.51, which focuses on the introduction of the Gold Saucer. It bears mentioning, however, that the establishment is known as the Manderville Gold Saucer in Eorzea. You’ll have to check it out for yourself to figure out where this moniker came from. Including chocobo racing, chocobo breeding, and the return of the FF card game Triple Triad, you can look forward to a fun and relaxing time in the Gold Saucer. Part two of Before the Fall is scheduled for the end of March, closing the curtain on the story that brought about the rebirth of Eorzea. What trials and tribulations await the Warrior of Light? What drastic turn of events will grant passage to the reclusive nation of Ishgard? Only time will tell.” Final Fantasy XV: According to gameranx: Final Fantasy 15 lead game designer Wan Hazmer shared some new details regarding the game in a panel named The History and Future of Final Fantasy. We'll pass over details mentioned before and discuss what they revealed here that's new. Wan stressed the importance of camping periodically. Basically, camping is when you have an opportunity to power your self up, using food you can prepare using different ingredients. These effects gradually decrease in time, giving you incentive to camp again. Also an incentive to camp is experience. While you earn experience throughout the game, you can only 'cash in' that experience and level up at camp. The game will now have a 60 minute day/night cycle. 40 minutes of that will be daytime, and 20 minutes night. The doubling of a day from 30 to 60 minutes implies there are some tasks that will take you a considerable amount of time to accomplish. Final Fantasy XV: As per the recent interview between Famitsu and Hajime Tabata: They’re trying to make a more realistic feel to the games dimensions. They based the town we saw in the most recent trailer on the people and design of the Bahamas. We will be able to talk to NPC’s, and they will react accordingly to a prince in their presence. Boob jiggle for Cid used to be insane, but is being altered.

Michael Bay's Transformers 2 Sneak Peek. Kindle DX Pisses Off Blind Students. Sony Can Give All PS3s PS2 Emulation—But Probably Won't. Band Uses iPhone Gimmick to Get Attention (and Succeeds). Anyone who still hasn't seen the movie might want to skip this spoiler-riddled "preview" presented by the master of explosions, crashes, booms and more explosions himself, but it's a must see for everyone else. We didn't post it because we didn't want to give anything away. [ YouTube ]. Students at Arizona State University know that the college-bound Kindle DX can read texts aloud. Only trouble is, it won't read menus out loud. Good goin' there, Beez. Bottom line: Until the menus are covered by text-to-speech, the blind students are going to fight it. We'll cover it if it becomes a federal case, or if Amazon caves and hires some accessibility programmers. [ ASU - The State Press ]. A recently discovered Sony patent from late last year shows how the Cell processor found in all PS3s can fully emulate the Emotion Engine required to run PS2 games, so no matter what model you have, you'd be able to play any game you owned. But don't dust off your old God of War disc just yet—why would Sony wait this long to get you this particular feature, and to get you jazzed about games that by definition they can't profit from? Our verdict: Ain't gonna happen. [ Siliconera via CrunchGear ]. A band I've never heard of (The 88. anyone? anyone? Maybe I'm just old) decided to record an entire song using a $10 four-track iPhone recording app called Four Track. Although technically you could probably line in a decent mic, they even used the iPhone's microphone. Studio engineers will tell you that that's not the best way to get a top-40 sound. But hell, it got them a USA Today story with photo, so bully on studio engineers. The song isn't even that bad—course, I'm listening to it on laptop speakers. [ USA Today ; iTunes Store link ].
