Human Revolution is the third game in the Deus Ex series, a prequel where players take control of augmented security officer Adam Jensen, and investigate attacks against Sarif Industries, a leader in augmentation technology.
Surprise! We're all in Ipswich where two thirds of the team normally are! Not that surprising huh? Well it was to us and we enjoyed it. Trust me on this.
In this episode we discuss Star Wars VII, Interstellar, Assassin’s Creed Unity, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: Master Chief Collection, Bayonetta 2, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Overwatch, Valkyria Chronicles, EVE Online and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
So it seems there are games now. 2014 was feeling a little empty for a bit huh?
In this episode: Bayonetta 2, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Freelancer, Assassin's Creed Unity, Sonic Boom, Guild Wars 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, EVE Online, Space Engineers, Halo: Master Chief Collection
I know we keep talking about the heat of summer and how we suck at dealing with it in these blurbs but just imagine as you listen to this episode of the SaladCast the literal sweat that went into making it. You're welcome.
This week we talk about Dust, Rogue Legacy, Magic The Gathering 2013, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Proteus, Dear Esther, Fire Emblem, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, giraffe combat, Don Matrick and of course Ryan Davis.
It would be rude not to dedicate this episode (and probably every episode we’ve ever done) to the essence of awesome that is Ryan Davis. He will be sorely missed.
Filthy.
I was highly tempted just to leave it at that. It does aptly describe the content of Codemasters' seminal racing series, and your mind.
On top of all that glorious filth, we talk about Magicka, Battlefield 3 and some finishing notes on Deus Ex. And Rob forgets his own rules and talks about those goddamn assassins some more.
Filthy.
It is indeed Sonic time! Like there was any way we were going to pass on the biggest release of the year. Oh what's that? You want a Skyrim or CoD review? Shove it! For now those games spark a debate on games reviewing in general. Lament.
Also covered is Battlefield 3, Mortal Kombat and... well that’s about it.
Weird that we didn’t talk about the unoffcial SaladCast firework event of last week. You’ll just have to ponder the meaning of "cubes of dissapointment".
With the Beta gone but not forgotten we have to cover the biggest modern warfare shooter release of this year: Battlefield 3. Not that other one. In all the excitement we don't really think about the harsh reality of halloween. Giving sweets to children on our doorsteps just sounds creepy anyway.
Dan plays a bit more Deus Ex, Zac goes industrial in Minecraft while Rob subjects the listeners to more Assassin’s Creed II.
PS. More audio experiments this week as we play with the "auto-gain". Let us know how it sounds.
Being outside must play havoc with our feeble immune system and time keeping abilities. This late edition of the SaladCast sees us return to the hole from whence we came. But not without games!
Plenty of Battlefield 3 Beta impressions, more informed Gears of War 3 opinion and a liberal dose of Deus Ex progress round off this post's feature list.
I don't know about nature. It's alive, varied and mostly outdoors. 3 things you probably wouldn’t associate with the typical gamer. But here we are, recording a podcast OUTSIDE! Somehow we rattle through a lot of recent releases with little to no hesistancy. Maybe the slight breeze casts Haste upon our vocals?
Zac covers the indie scene once more with the Minecraft Adventure update, completing S.P.A.Z. two more times (jeez) and Blocks that Matter. Dan continues to catch up to Zac in Deus Ex: Human Revolution while Rob continues his Kinect pratfalling in front of Rise of Nightmares and Child of Eden. There’s even a little Gears of War 3, so you should have nothing left to grind... y'know... like "grinds my gears"... nevermind.
Once again we are graced by Matt Makin as a special guest to help talk MORE Assasin's Credd with Rob. Zac and Dan get quite heated covering the finer point of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. No lasting damage. They’re fine. More in two weeks.
...I didn’t know just how much blood someone has.
It's Deus Ex week! Ok, so there isn't that much Deus Ex coverage this week. We do mention it but to get the full effect we want two of the three of us to report. Enter Zac, Dan and a reasonable dose of waistline augmenting chicken pieces. Rob actually talks MORE Assassin's Creed in the mean time. He's a little bit sorry.
There is Gamescom to cover though featuring the Old Republic, Guild Wars 2 and of course Battlefield 3 "conjecturising". Dan finally plays Black Ops, Zac goes all S.P.A.Z and Rob even comes up with a new feature!
Driving seems to be main theme this time. We've all been playing them racing games. The Steam sales have magical properties like that.
Rob gushes about Blur, confirming its awesomeness, Dan arrives late to the Dirt 2 party and Zac.... plays Eve some more. Well he did play some Dirt too (see what I did there?).
There’s also some ranting about the 3DS before it's out, some SpaceChem and Super Meat Boy. How lucky you are!
Eddie thinks my title for this podcast sounds like an extinct dinosaur. I just think I was clutching at straws... but hey, it's not about this description it’s about the talky talk!
Rob finishes his round up of Black Ops after a more thorough playtest, Zac continues his trek through games of yore with DOSBox and Startopia while Dan once again take us to GTA IV territory briefly before making some legendary progress in Reach.
We also get a little time to discuss to motion controls again and theorize about PSP Phone.
