    Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Majora's Mask. We talk a bit about getting stuck, the structure, and do some extended catch-up on email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Up to Swamp Dungeon Issues covered: making it feel different, long-winded save mechanics, interrupting your play, expecting it to be okay to let the world end, the threatening moon, how games hold up, the usual strategy for reuse: more of the same, making the main mechanic out of a minor Ocarina mechanic, recontextualizing models and similar locations, the groom mask and the new interactions, constraining locations you can reach, the audio mix, being able to control for when certain events happen or not, being unclear on whether the water is poison, searching high and low for a bottle, a non-Nintendo moment, implying that the player could have been prepared, looking forward to more masks, reusing your engine, platform architecture converging, changing goals requiring changing programs, a podcast guidebook, Tim's annotated notes, finally having a list, recency bias, convergence of mechanics in AAA games, a story of a dev inspired by events and the podcast, asset flips, Majora's Mask inspiration.  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: CalamityNolan, Outer Wilds, Melancholia, Stranger Things, Wind Waker, Ultima, Hitman, GameCube, Oddberry Games, Vitor, Eye of the Beholder (series), Doom (series), Fallout (series), Monkey Island (series), Warren Spector, Origin Systems, Apple ][, PlayStation, Xbox, Unreal, Republic Commando, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Mystery Dip, Carlos, Dark Souls, Deadly Premonition, Hollow Knight, Ubisoft, Anthony Vaccaro, Synersteel Studios, Eric Heimberg, Sandra Powers, Nicholas Vaccaro, Maria Vaccaro, Valley of Shadow, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Witness, The Talos Principle, Raymond, Drew, David Lynch, Takashi Tezuka, Twin Peaks, Link's Awakening, Dwarf Fortress, Mors, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Majora's Mask Links: Valley of Shadow via Steam  Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com mailto://devgameclub@gmail.com

    Spieleveteranen-Episode #438 (12-2026) Besetzung: Heinrich Lenhardt und Jörg Langer Aufnahmedatum: 11.03.2026 Laufzeit: 1:44:48 Stunden (0:00:15 News & Smalltalk – 0:39:44 Zeitschriften-Zeitreise) Bei der Zeitschriften-Zeitreise reisen die Spieleveteranen in vergangene Jahrzehnte zurück, um alte Magazine und persönliche Erinnerungen auszugraben. Wenn sie dabei Mammuts begegnen, dann nicht, weil die Maschine falsch kalibriert war, sondern weil sich Ubisoft in einem Open-World-Spiel weit in die Vergangenheit gewagt hatte (2016). Weiter zurück auf dem Heft-Zeitstrahl werden Strategen sowohl aus dem Tolkien- als auch aus dem Star-Wars-Lager glücklich gemacht (2006) – und apropos, wenig später (bzw. 10 Jahre früher) erwartet uns auch eine Begegnung mit Mark Hamill (1996). Im Bonus-Segment für Patreon-Unterstützer steuern wir zusätzlich das Jahr 1986 an und sinnieren da über alternative Lebensläufe. Doch zuvor wertschätzen die Veteranen, was die Gegenwart zu bieten hat: News, Hörerpost und aktuelle Spielerlebnisse, bei denen sich auch Stephan Freundorfer zu Wort meldet. Unterstützt die Spieleveteranen und hört das volle Programm: https://www.patreon.com/spieleveteranen 00:15 News & Smalltalk 01:54 Gemischte News: Evercade kündigt Rare Edition des Analogue Pocket an, neue Hinweise auf Remaster von Fallout 3 aufgetaucht, Ubisoft bestätigt Entwicklung von Assassin's Creed – Black Flag Resynced, Sony will weniger Spiele für PC umsetzen, Microsoft dagegen mit „Project Helix“ PC und nächste Xbox kombinieren. 14:52 Zuletzt gespielt: Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes (Demo), Slay the Spire 2 (feat. Stephan Freundorfer). 37:53 Hörerpost von Berti Bertig. 39:44 Zeitschriften-Zeitreise: März 2016, 2006, 1996 41:03 GamersGlobal und GameStar 4/2016, u.a. mit The Division, Far Cry Primal und Day of the Tentacle Remastered. 1:03:32 GameStar 4/2006, u.a. mit Battle for Middle-earth II, Star Wars: Empire at War und BloodRayne 2. 1:15:32 PC Player 4/1996, u.a. mit Wing Commander 4, Formula One Grand Prix II und Descent 2. 1:42:22 Abspann.

    You'll have to forgive me for getting completely sidetracked as we turn to someone who bought a pre-built PC. But not just ANY pre-built. Dude went ALL out with 64 gigs of RAM and a massive 5090 GPU. So, yeah, that kinda grabbed my attention a bit there. Given the times we currently live in when we talk about RAM prices going way up and causing the prices of graphics cards to also increase. All of this was after we started talking about what the next Xbox would likely cost. And what Valve's Steam Machine might also cost. New tech is always exciting but no matter the thrills, the specs, the bells AND the whistles…it'll all get kind of buried under the weight of whatever the price tag is. And that's currently unknown for us. And may be for some time. At any other point in time previous, we'd already know the price. We'd already have the details. But they're taking their time on getting there and it's because of the price of RAM. Full stop. The Switch 2 got in under the gun and, for now, was able to avoid the spike in prices. But that won't last much longer before they have to replenish stock and the price will likely affect that. But Valve’s new PC will be our first look at just how bad it has become. And give us a better idea of what to expect from the next Xbox and the PS6. Start saving. Ubisoft, it's been 4,591 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 1,626 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

    The Ides of March is the best-known date in the ancient world, thanks to one of the most infamous acts in history: the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar. Assassin's Creed Origins portrays Caesar at the peak of his powers, who was shockingly assassinated by a gang of Senators, including his most loyal friends and followers, like Brutus. What had Caesar done to deserve this? Who stabbed him first? And how did the assassins' plan to save the Roman Republic ultimately lead to the creation of the Roman Empire?Prof. Colin Elliot from Indiana University Bloomington, host of the Pax Romana podcast, joins Matt Lewis to reveal the true events of that fateful day. His book Pox Romana: The Plague That Shook The World offers a comprehensive, wide-ranging account of the world's first pandemic.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

    Listen, there is still bad news. More AI stuff and more studio closings and people losing their jobs. It's still pretty bleak. And it isn't likely to change for quite some time. But, in an effort to not yet again sound like a broken record of just horrible news every week, I'd like to pose a question to you. If you could wipe the memory of any game you've played, so that you could experience it again for the very first time, what would you pick? What game made such an impression on you that going through it again, with a fresh mind and fresh eyes, would be your choice? Half-Life 1/2 were amazing games with mechanics we'd never seen before at the time, but if only your memory of it was wiped, would it be what it was then by playing it today? I had a few picks for myself. Mark Of The Ninja was one. It's a game I've not played in a long time and would likely feel like playing it for the first time. Another was Bioshock Infinite (probably Bioshock 1, as well). Those two games, while playing them wouldn't seem at all much different than anything else out there…it's their stories that I want to experience again for the first time. And it's a bit hard for me to find something else like that – although I'm sure they exist. I just can't think of them at the moment. Maybe Braid. Maybe. So let us know what your picks are. And maybe for a little bit we aren't thinking about job losses and AI running up the tab on all our fun stuff and everything else going on at the moment. At least for a little bit. At this point playing ANY Splinter Cell game would feel like I'm playing it for the first time again. Ubisoft, it's been 4,584 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 1,626 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

    In today's Daily Fix:Xbox's new CEO, Asha Sharma, has officially teased the next console: codenamed "Project Helix." The next-generation gaming console will be compatible with PC as well as Xbox games. Sharma will be at the Game Developers Conference next week to share more details. In other news, Highguard has received its final update, the "Farewell Tour" patch, which adds a new playable Warden, new skill tree, and new weapons. Players will get to enjoy it for a week before the whole game shuts down on March 12. Castlevania fans worried that the new Belmont's Curse might be more roguelike or roguelite than classic Castlevania, fear not. Developer Motion Twin has roguelike experience with the hit game Dead Cells, but Konami is promising a classic Castlevania experience with the new game. And finally, Ubisoft has released the first piece of concept art for the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the remake of the fan-favorite fourth Assassin's Creed game.

    “Behind every great man is an even greater woman.” During the first century of the Abbasid Caliphate, the caliphs oversaw an Islamic Golden Age. These men expanded territory, science and the arts, leaving a lasting mark on human civilisation. But the caliphs were managed, sometimes manipulated, and even murdered, by the women at their side. Most notorious amongst these is Qabiha, the ultimate villain of Assassin's Creed Mirage.Matt Lewis is joined by Dr Ali A. Olomi, historian, writer and podcaster, to talk to us about the lives of three formidable women in the medieval Middle East, and how they influenced the course of history from behind the curtain.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

    In this week's episode of GameBurst, we navigate a particularly turbulent period for the video game industry, marked by significant leadership shifts and mounting legal pressures. We lead with the executive upheaval at Xbox, where the sudden departures of stalwarts Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond have forced a swift pledge from new leadership to return the brand to its console hardware roots. The legal landscape for Valve also intensifies this week. The PC gaming giant is currently facing a dual-front battle: a lawsuit from the New York attorney general over alleged illegal gambling within loot box systems, and a staggering £656m collective action claim in the UK courts regarding Steam's market dominance. Meanwhile, the human cost of industry consolidation is felt at Eurogamer and Outside Xbox, which have been hit by a fresh wave of editorial layoffs following their acquisition in 2024. On a brighter note for fans of gothic platforming, Konami has announced Castlevania: Belmont's Curse for a 2026 release, developed in collaboration with the team behind Dead Cells. We also discuss the departure of creative director Clint Hocking from Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe and dive into our Picks of the Week, featuring the board game Speakeasy and the latest from LumiBricks. Finally, we address community feedback regarding the ethics of game ratings and the evolution of the podcast's format. #gameburst

    I'd love to be able to write one of these and NOT talk about how bleak things are, but that ain't happening this week. There's more studio closures and people losing their jobs. More price increases or flat out shortages because of RAM due to AI – which is also a part of the job losses. Microsoft just made a big shakeup in their leadership, which brings us back to AI again given who took over the Xbox side of things there was formally the head of AI for Microsoft. Like I said, it's not great news. And hasn't been for a while. On the less important side of things but adding a cherry on top of the news – we almost certainly now know we'll likely never get that Bloodborne remake. But we came close. I'd say it's great to be back but I really wish things weren't so bad right now – and that extends beyond the world of gaming at the moment given the recent news. I'd love to be able to have a show where we played something fun and didn't feel guilty telling you about it without remembering how horrible things currently are. And normally I'm not this much of a Debbie Downer in my write up's but THAT'S HOW BAD THINGS ARE! Look, if you want a break away from the bad news, gaming isn't a bad place to start, but at this point I'd recommend anything – hell, you got a good book sitting around? READ IT! A new demo from the next fest to try out? PLAY IT! Whatever you need to do to keep you mentally healthy right now, just give it a go and fall into that world instead of this one at the moment. Also, there's still no Splinter Cell – because I have to keep the tradition going I guess. Ubisoft, it's been 4,577 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 1,525 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

    Wouldn't it be nice to know the future? To have solid advice on what is about to happen in your life, so that you know exactly what to do when the time comes?For the Ancient Greeks, this wasn't a daydream: it was a real possibility, thanks to Oracles. The most important soothsayer was the Oracle of Delphi. Located high on the remote slopes of Mount Parnassus, Assassin's Creed Odyssey recreates the sanctuary in beautiful detail and allows players to meet the Oracle herself. She is as famous as she is mysterious. Who was the Oracle? Why was Delphi such a special place? And what sorts of questions did Ancient Greeks seek answers to?Matt Lewis is joined by Dr. Garrett Ryan, the historian behind the wonderful Told in Stone. His excellent book, Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants answers 36 frequently asked questions about the Greeks and Romans that are both fascinating and fun to read.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.
