Show notes

We're back to wrap up TGS 2009. 8-4 again generously offered us their offices to record and JJ, Mark, and John join in for the show as well. Sam, Shane, and Garnett complete the group that sits down to get everything they've seen out on the table. And while we had the impression the show had been really down, when we put together the list there were plenty of games to talk about including Final Fantasy XIII, Yakuza 4, Gran Turismo 5, PixelJunk Shooter, Zero Day Attack on Earth, Quantum Theory, Dead Rising 2 multiplayer, and more.

Show notes

With TGS set to open in the morning Jeremy, Matt, David, Sam, and Garnett sit down to discuss what they're most excited to see at the show. Is it Yakuza 4? the Metal Gear Peacewalker demo maybe? or will something unexpected be on their minds? There's also a quick look back at couple of distractions from earlier in the week including the Videogames Live concert and a trip to the arcade.

Show notes

We start our Tokyo Game Show coverage by catching up on the hottest games in Japan and a general look at the videogame scene here with Justin Epperson, John Ricciardi, and Mark MacDonald of 8-4. Sam Kennedy and David Ellis also join Garnett at the table as the group gets up to speed on Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, and more. The second half of the show then gets into some of the trends here including the popularity of handheld gaming and a breakdown of the current situation for Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360.

In the first segment Whatcha Been Playin covers Halo 3 ODST, Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer, Mario and Luigi, DJ Hero, Gran Turismo PSP, and more. Holiday hardware moves from a rumored Wii price cut to the rapid momentum gained by the PS3 start off the second segment before giving way to whether Nathan Drake really needs to Twitter, and John's checklist for TGS.

Show notes

The band gets back together at PAX 2009 as Andrew, Shane, David, John, and Garnett take the stage. The show opens with their recap of some of their favorites on the show floor and then they open the floor to audience questions. (Note the audio quality is less than ideal due to the live recording and it improves approximately 10 minutes into the show.)

Show notes

With David catching the PAX flu and Sam away in NYC John and Garnett tackle a massive show with the aid of Gamasutra's Christian Nutt. In a wide ranging Whatcha Been Playin they get into Osmos, Torchlight, Need for Speed Shift, Motorstorm Arctic Edge, Soul Calibur Broken Destiny, Batman Arkham Asylum, and more. The second segment keeps up the pace beginning with a recap of the August NPD sales stats hot off the presses and afterward including Apple calling out the DS and PSP for a handheld console war, the announcement of a new 2D Sonic headed our way in 2010, and Left 4 Dead 2 Boycotters changing their minds after a trip to Valve.

Show notes

Sam, David, and Garnett return from their journeys but John's a late scratch from the lineup. The trio finds their hands full with Star Trek Online, NFS Shift vs. Forza 3 vs. Gran Turismo 5, Dead Nation, Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, Eye Pet, Osmos, and more just in Whatcha' Been Playin? alone. And then after the break they tackle the price drops (and in the UK an increase) on console hardware, whether 40 dollars could be the magic price for expanding the games market, Kojima's plans for Peace Walker, and more.

The infamous fourth chair gets a week off as Sam, John, and Garnett do the show as a trio. They've got their hands full with a Whatcha Been Playin? segment that includes Madden 10 both for 360/PS3 and Wii, Fat Princess, TMNT Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, and more. There's no letup after the break with July NPD sales figures kicking off a discussion that covers Sega's renewed commitment to mature games on the Wii, impressions of the XBL update, and a quick look at the buzz from the first day of QuakeCon.
