2023/06/25

I start off with some quick impressions of We Love Katamari REROLL, but then go into the Final Fantasy XVI demo. Note that there are some themes regarding some of the characters that some people may not like to witness, which has turned some corners of the internet off from the game. Microsoft has announced they will no longer be making first party games for the Xbox One, but some developers want them to also get rid of the Xbox Series S requirement as well. Embracer Group is downsizing after a

Meta announced the Meta Quest 3 a few weeks ago to be sold next to the Quest 2 and the Quest Pro. Apple has finally invented AR and announced the Apple Vision Pro at WWDC this past week. Mark Zuckerberg is not worried about Apple's expensive entry into AR. Summer Games Fest and the Xbox Showcase had taken place before recording, and we talk about our highlights from them. Then we talk to Rob about him coming out to Atlanta for the Southern Fried Gaming Expo in late July!

2023/06/09

I was one of the hosts for Summer Games Done Quick 2023, where we raised over $2.2million dollars for Doctors Without Borders! I talk about what a live in-person GDQ event is like for attendees, talk about why that donation amount is lower than it used to be, and why the event was a month earlier than it usually is. I also go through each speedrun I was a host for, as well as playing some of the pun donations I was fortunate enough to get to read while on stage.

I'm hosting at Summer Games Done Quick 2023 next week! Check out when I'm on the air! The European Union has approved the Microsoft Activision merger, even though the UK has denied it. Pac-Man 99 is having its multiplayer shut down and is being delisted on the Nintendo Switch in August. Take-Two has claimed that it's not seeing consumer resistance over $70 games, so other publishers have taken notice and have started raising their prices as well. Then we talk about streaming services, content being

I will be hosting at Summer Games Done Quick 2023 the week of May 28th! Microsoft boss Phil Spencer participated in a podcast interview where he seemingly surrendered the console war to Sony and Nintendo - does he have a point? Activision boss predicts how AI will be used in video games, including with technology that has been done many times before by more independent studios. Then we take calls about Microsoft's platform vs. console strategy.

2023/05/04

I start off by showing off an old Heathkit catalog from 1978, and the way that we used to build electronics like you build Ikea furniture today. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has blocked the Microsoft and Activision merger on the grounds that it could create a monopoly in the cloud gaming space - and even made the decision assuming that Google Stadia failed because it didn't have Call of Duty on it. We also discuss what the next steps could be, because not all is lost yet, but it is a

2023/04/29

I'm one of the on-air hosts of Summer Games Done Quick 2023, and I talk about the games I will be hosting, including a meme category for a popular horror game. I finally got the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters now that they have been released on Switch, and I'm really liking the quality of life improvements. Xbox users can no longer share screenshots to Twitter directly from their console because Microsoft is not willing to pay $42k per month for Twitter API access. Netflix is ending its DVD mailing

The Bobby Blackwolf Show ·

2023/04/23

I share some historical computer game finds that I have found cleaning out my childhood home, including some advertisements about Commodore 64 adventure games and how much they would cost in 2023 dollars. Sega is set to buy Rovio Entertainment, the makers of Angry Birds. (This has since been confirmed.) However, a more interesting story is how Rovio is trying to run away from the original Angry Birds by delisting it and pointing people to more microtransaction-heavy sequels rather than the $1

We have a live interview with prolific video game remixer Mustin about his decades in music production. He just released a 12-track solo album - Mario Mixtape - to coincide with the Super Mario Bros movie that was just released. The album is available on Bandcamp but is best experienced on YouTube in a visualizer.

The Bobby Blackwolf Show ·

2023/04/09

E3 has been cancelled again, and possibly for good this time. While E3 didn't have much relevance to consumers anymore, the idea of an industry-only trade show is still very powerful and is still very much needed. Reedpop did announce that they will be working with E3 on future events, which I predict will be them either incorporating the E3 brand into their existing events (E3 at PAX!) Then we talk to Rob about this and he actually predicts that PAX will just rename itself to E3 in the future!

The Bobby Blackwolf Show ·

2023/04/02

We start off talking a lot about the Diablo IV beta and impressions from someone who hasn't played a lot of Diablo recently. The biggest hurdle has been cleared in the Microsoft-Activision merger, with the UK saying that it is not in Microsoft's best financial interests to make Call of Duty a console exclusive. At Game Developers Conference, the buzzword was how GPT AI will start taking over tasks that entry level game developers currently do, like writing out the "NPC barks" that constitute world

2023/03/29

The 3DS and Wii U eShops were set to close on March 27th. Sadly this podcast episode didn't make it out in time, but we talk about game preservation and how much it cost one YouTuber to preserve the entire catalog. The FTC has finalized an order requiring Epic Games to pay $245 million back to consumers as a penalty for employing "dark patterns" to trick players into making additional purchases. Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear has stepped down as CEO of Twitch after 16 years at the company. After

2023/03/19

According to Activision-Blizzard, Sony informed ABK and Microsoft in front of EU regulators that they are not interested in a long term deal for Call of Duty, they just want to block the merger. Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has been delayed, but it's not because they are changing the core mechanic like people hoped. The Epic Games Store will no longer be a curated store of quality titles, as they are now allowing self-publishing to anyone that has $100 - but they are requiring multiplayer

2023/03/12

I start off by talking a little bit more about PSVR2 and my attempt to use eye tracking with a severe astigmatism. Microsoft has been granted access to Sony documents regarding their third party contracts to see what their exclusivity deals are like. Meta has dropped the price of the Quest Pro and the 256GB Quest 2 because nobody was buying them. The International Olympic Committee is doing Esports again - but some of the games are ones that nobody plays but happen to be owned by IOC officials. Then

The Bobby Blackwolf Show ·

2023/03/04

This episode is all about PlayStation VR2 - a great piece of hardware that I really hope gets a large enough software library (with GOOD software) that can compliment it. I discuss trying to set it up in a dark room, because the inside-out tracking needs a bright room with things in it so it can work. There is a somewhat hidden setting that improves the tracking by putting a border on the TV screen which can help when your game is being paused constantly because the headset momentarily loses

This episode is all about Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, the new rhythm game filled with Final Fantasy music. It's fantastic. While Square says that this is the last Theatrhythm Final Fantasy title, the developers did tell Spanish-speaking media that they are open to doing Theatrhythm style games for other franchises like Nintendo and the Tales series. Earthworm Jim 4 has been supposedly cancelled, putting yet another nail in the Intellivision Amico coffin. Then we talk to Rob about finding a PS5 in

2023/02/12

There will not be a live show on February 12th due to a social gathering revolving around a television commercial watching event. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line has a demo out on Switch and PS4, and you get some item drops if you play on certain days during the demo period. The Free Twitter API was originally being discontinued on the 9th (this changed) but when it does go down, there's a chance the console screenshot sharing functionality will cease to work. I went to an XR Atlanta meetup this past

2023/02/06

Hi-Fi Rush is FANTASTIC, and it was shadowdropped this week on Xbox, PC, and Game Pass. Following up on a story we had last week, Microsoft actually laid off all employees working in AR and VR, which means that Microsoft's investment in mixed reality may be coming to an end. Several gaming media giants have laid off their employees as well, with the Washington Post laying off people "because they had to" and not because they were underpeforming. Then we talk to Rob about how Forspoken isn't being

Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden have come out for modern consoles and are available on Game Pass. Microsoft is shutting down AltspaceVR and is transferring the technology and any remaining engineers over to Microsoft Teams...I bet Mixer fans can relate. Everyone's going to VRChat now, but I don't know anybody there. Sony has announced the PSVR2 launch lineup, and there are some great games that are getting a new version to try to entice people to buy it. Then we talk to Rob from OLR about

I was a host at Awesome Games Done Quick 2023 Online, which raised over $2.6 Million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. SGDQ will take place the last week of May instead of the last week of June, but no word on venue yet. I go through all of the runs I hosted for this event, as well as some other runs that I enjoyed. Google is shutting Stadia down this week, but they are unlocking the controller's Bluetooth antenna so people aren't left with a paperweight.
