Episode 448: Découpage That Worm!
Manage episode 488516611 series 1394727
Jamie and Marsh get pumped, pepped and revved up for the summer games marketing onslaught, and then enjoy the more tangible pleasures of demos in the Steam Next Fest, including: Ball X Pit, Morsels, Bits & Bops, Consume Me, Dispatch and Baby Steps.
- In this episode, I, Marsh, misremember Peggle’s mascot as Bookworm Adventures’ mascot, which is a bookworm, despite the fact that only one of these titles has “bookworm” in the name. This is an error for which I do not deserve, and will never earn, your forgiveness—but I acknowledge it now to prepare you for the boiling rage my failure will induce.
- Lies of P and The Last Berserker – the best off-brand Soulslikes?
- Shout out to Ollie
- The games of Summer Game Fest:
- Mortal Shell 2
- Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
- Chronicles: Medieval
- End of Abyss
- Mouse: P.I. for Hire
- Game of Thrones: War for Westeros
- Atomic Heart 2 & The Cube
- Felt That: Boxing
- Out of Words
- Mafia: The Old Country
- Resident Evil Requiem
- LEGO Voyagers (LEGO Builders, from the same team, and LEGO 2K Drive, by not the same team, suggest that the LEGO brand has a stable of solid talent at their disposal.)
- Deadpool VR. So much great work going on in VR. This isn’t it. (Ghost Town, a VR puzzle game by Fireproof Games, developers of The Room series, might be brilliant, though.)
- Dying Light: The Beast
- Mixtape (the studio’s previous game was The Artful Escape)
- Acts of Blood
- MindsEye
- ILL
- Splitgate 2
- Games not from Summer Game Fest:
- Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement
- Lumines Arise (by the developers of people-herding puzzle game Humanity)
- Silent Hill F
- Militsioner
- Sleep Awake
- Mewgenics (the Other One Who Isn’t Edmund McMillen is in fact called Tommy Refenes, and is making Super Meatboy 3D)
- Games from Steam Next Fest:
- Ball X Pit
- Morsels
- Dispatch
- Bits & Bops
- Consume Me
