We are become podcast, destroyer of lobes.
In this episode, EA feels like the kid left on the sidelines, Rob continues to struggle to describe the virtues of Cyberpunk 2077, Zac revisits the Factorio mod scene and the Age of Calamity might have been averted.
It's hot, fresh and 100% of a podcast (this time). It's a Monday SaladCast!
This week we talk about moving home, Switch Pro rumours, Yakuza 3, Satisfactory, Panzer Dragoon Remake and some standard recurrences.
It should come as no surprise in these unprecedented times that testing is important. Testing helps us discover what works and what doesn't. Rob failed to test new recording options thoroughly enough. Rob is sorry.
This week we cover some Square Enix news, Satisfactory updates, more Dirt 5, Stardew Valley and Control and the nature of grime.
If you're hangry for content in the category of "mostly video games", pull up a chair. There's Pokémon news for Zac to tear into, cancellation news for Rob to praise, and TV show endings it's hard for Dan to avoid spoiling. On top of that we add Dirt 5, Control and Deep Rock Galactic to our "played games" list.
Not a lot of news going on this week but we fill the time with beans. No, really. There’s beans in the gaps. Even our gaps are nutritious. We’ll fill those PS5 dust gaps with beans too! GAPS!
We talk about the dribbles of new info around next-gen, Dan plays Star Wars Squadrons, Rob Shovel’s up the mess left by Afterparty and Zac does Zac things.
We've got some weird games for you this week. An exhibition of odd choices, interesting structures and broken concepts. Society as expressed in the medium of idiots playing games. Mario’s 35th Anniversary, ONL, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remaster, Battletoads, Shapez.io, Spiritfarer and Tell Me Why are on display.
Sensing the effects that Eurovision withdrawal is having on the morale of the populous, the games industry has rallied to produce some hype. These things may have happened in reverse order but all the best theories are based on some notion of "close enough".
We have Unreal Engine 5, Xbox Series X "gameplay", and a smattering a games like Valorant, Streets of Rage 4, Scrap Mechanic and that Terraria patch.
