Game Bytes

This Week of Portent begins with a new podcast, as prophecy foretold. Dale, Jerod, and Jeremy are here to help you sort out the most relevant gaming news of the past week! Gamescom kicks off with Microsoft, Swery announces a new game, new stuff added to existing games, existing games get no more stuff ever, and a trans-media property that might be 5 or 6 years too late. Plus: new releases, updates, and sales! Then we look at the upcoming release schedule for 2017 and decide what’s best. Join us, or there will be ASTRONOMICAL CONSEQUENCES.

Intro: “Staff Roll” – Tekken 3, by Nobuyoshi Sano, Keiichi Okabe, & Yuu Miyake

That mid-week time has come again, and the GameBytes Show gang has games to discuss! Jeremy opens with frenetic firearms frenzy Enter the Gungeon, but gets a little angry with chill arthouse experience Everything. Dale compares various Diablo-like games while recounting his time with Path of Exile, and decides that hex truly sells in Hexcells. LeGrande has been dabbling in Guild Wars 2, but really comes out punching with ARMS on the Nintendo Switch and Planet Coaster. Get ready for our 30-minute, high-puke-factor ride, and listen!

Hiiii. It’s us, The GameBytes Show! It’s the middle-latter part of the week, which means it’s time to talk to you about the games we’ve been playing! Dale starts it off by swearing off Diablo 3, and instead playing Torchlight 2. He swears off Elite Dangerous, but what else might be swear ON? Jerod joins in with Titanfall Assault, but does it stack up to its older brothers? (meaning the regular Titanfall games, they’re not really blood relations) Jeremy gives a spoiler-free take on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, and talks about Ninja Theory’s technical and performance art achievements. Good games, great podcast!

We’ve compiled the newest and most interesting news about the SNES Classic, Steam and Rainbow 6 Siege stats, new services coming to Xbox One and features coming to NBA Live. Is Blizzard cultivating some new IPs? Are new games coming to the Vita? Will the world finally get the Geralt-in-bathtub coloring page it deserves? Tune in to find out! Plus, new releases, and we discuss whether seasonal “events” in games bring us back to the fold!

Host LeGrande makes his triumphant return after a lengthy break to talk about PS4/Vita souls-like Salt and Sanctuary, and joins Jeremy in a spirited discussion about the merits of Fortnite. Jeremy continues with the Vita release of Downwell, and illuminates us about the new Titanfall 2 “Frontier Defense” mode. Dale picks up with the hardest-core end stage of Diablo 3… playing other people’s characters. He jumps back into Elite Dangerous for the sweet loot, and enjoys the Akira Toriyama-style innocence of Dragon Quest VII.

SNES Classic woes, PS+ pricing, Battletech legal trouble, PlayerUnknown looks for the next PlayerUnknown, a PS4-PC cross-platform game appears, a major gaming platform is going away, and more! We follow with the Jerod Dunn Memorial Beefed-Up Releases Segment, and tie it all together with a discussion of the stupidest gaming hardware that we bought anyway and love.

It’s been another week of games-playing, and it’s time to report in to you, boss! Special guest Wesley Livesay joins us again (it’s habit-forming) to discuss the Destiny 2 beta. But first, Jerod kicks us off with “Figstarted” strategy game Kingdoms and Castles, and Path of Exiles. We rampage through our time with character-based shooter Gigantic, and discuss the new VR slot-car racing game Tiny Trax!

Another week of games, another triumphant mid-week podcast! Dale, Jerod, and Jeremy discuss the games they’ve played.

Jerod jumps in with Solitairica, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, and The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine expansion. Jeremy wraps us up with Full Throttle Remastered, Gunstar Heroes, and a smidge of ABZU (but he’s playing it in a very Jeremy way).
