2019/09/07

Yakuza 7's been announced, and it's a turn-based RPG. Judgment is out, and might be getting a sequel, so now there's a detective spinoff series. They're even talking about bringing the feudal Japan Yakuza games to the States. Ryu Ga Gotoku studio is busy, and this feels like a key moment for them, and especially their future in the West. How do Six and Jen feel about the direction their games have taken, and what do they expect to see going forward?

Scanline Talks ·

2019/09/06

We've officially cast aside the unofficial name: now it's just the GachaPod. Allen was right, that other name isn't a good idea. It's a great idea, but it's not a good idea. But we are still here to talk about gacha games, what makes them tick, how much they do or don't respect your money... and a lot more. On this episode, Six is joined by Briar Sovereign (@weregazelle) and Dylan (@LowPolyRobot) are joined in their love of Gundam to talk about how much they... don't love Gundam Battle: Gunpla

Ill-Gotten Games Episode 3 – Epic Games Store

Scanline Talks ·

2019/08/07

Well, here we go again, eh? Before you go too much further, please understand the conceit of this episode: while the Epic Games Store has its problems as a service, the bigger problem lies with the reaction of fanatical gamer abusers who use their dislike of it along with racism and xenophobia as a justification for vile and toxic acts. We don't love the Epic Games Store here at Scanline, but we sure as shit don't hate it, and we find ourselves in the unusual position of defending it because the

Scanline Talks – Interview with Erik Johnson

Scanline Talks ·

2019/05/01

It's always valuable to sit down with game developers and hear their perspective on the industry, how it's changing, and how it hasn't. Erik Johnson of The Indie Bros. and Vertigo Gaming has certainly done his time in the trenches of development, and can speak to that experience. But even more rare than hearing about development is hearing about games marketing and promotion. Please enjoy this meaty interview as Six asks Erik questions about the PR side of games that is so rarely covered. Whether

The Sekiro Roundtable

2019/04/20

After much consideration, Six and Jen sit down to hash out their thoughts on the latest From Software release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Maybe when people argue about difficulty, they aren't REALLY arguing about difficulty... they're arguing about fairness, and being respected as a player. Or maybe they are just arguing about difficulty XD Don't worry, we talk about plenty more than just the Easy Mode debate. The intro music is the main menu theme from Sekiro, and the outro music is Emma's
