This episode marks a shift in your Gamebytes Show Podcast as we put everything into a big mixing pot and stir it all together. We put BOTH our twice-weekly shows into the oven and see what comes out! All four hosts, once a week, including a streamed show, with everything you could ask for all in one place. This week we discuss Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance on Switch, FF14 Stormblood, Hunt Showdown, Double-Kick Heroes, and The Signal from Tolva. We also bring you news of the video game world and our all new lightning round! Plus, we find out how much Jeremy REALLY likes Sonic the Hedgehog. It might be more than we are comfortable with.

Intro: “Harmonic Mayhem” – Double-Kick Heroes, by Elmobo

In this episode we look at the Nippon-Lynchian reboot of the Yakuza series, Yakuza Like a Dragon, and marvel at the way it takes itself so seriously while exposing the true-life weirdo reality of organized crime in Japan. We also play Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance 3 different ways to discover whether the best experience is actually the streamed one… and it turns out the game isn’t nearly as bad as we expected. We then move from one Icewind Dale to another and check in on the other two 2D Assassin’s Creed games, India and Russia, to both praise and lament what is and what might have been.

We round out the double-header of E3 2021 coverage with days 3 and 4 of E3, including Capcom… mumble mumble… and Nintendo! Plenty of games, including several that are too big for the Switch’s britches. We also take a hard look at the things missing from E3 this year, and give some of our impressions about the most hype and least hype announcements and showings of the, uh, show. A little new releases and sales on the back end, but we’re bushed! Come join us!

It’s a Final Fantasy sandwich as we wind down from E3 week with some chill video games. LeGrande digs into the PS5 exclusive “Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade” Yuffie content. We also find out how to pronounce Yuffie, and maybe how to spell it. Dale digs back into some comfort food with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, and appreciates its consistency as a series. Jeremy tries out the E3-announced demo of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and looks at how Team Ninja takes the first Final Fantasy game to the Dark Souls zone.

Intro: “Descendant of Shinobi – Battle Edit (Yuffie’s Theme)” – FF7 Intergrade, by Masashi Hamauzu

It’s the most exciting week of video games for the year, or at least the first part of it! E3 2021 is here, and we’re celebrating by binge-watching all the presentations and trailers so you don’t have to! We go into the opening weekend of E3 with Ubisoft and Guerrilla Collective, a little of EA and a little Devolver, and of course the various satellite announcements cluttering up the nighttime sky of video games. Plus, a few big new releases to keep you satiated until next week!

Intro: “Novalis (Tobruk Crater)” – Ratchet & Clank, by David Bergeaud

Jerod joins Dale and Jeremy for this episode of the show to preview a bit of the upcoming E3 2021 schedule with leaks and rumors and presentations as we know them to be. We dig into a couple of legal maneuvers going on in games at the moment. A couple of games get their high school letterman jackets. Capcom is allegedly in trouble for copying someone’s work. And a stupid toy gets a stupid makeover. Plus, new releases and our ongoing freebies and sales watch. Jerod and Dale make some recommendations about Warhammer games to pick up in the current sale.

Fast food apps aside (eventually), the games we played this week are a bit of a throwback, each in their own way! LeGrande walks around in circles with the delightfully retro-inspired Loop Hero. Dale Elite-Dangerouses it up with Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Jeremy gets on that new-old Puzzle Quest jam with the new THIRD entry in the grand-old-gem-swapping series.

Back after a bit of a break, but refreshed and hitting the game news at full strength, it’s little old us! This week, rumors of the next Switch possibly to be released this fall. Netflix doubles down on games. A grand old couple of gaming comes out of retirement. Who is joining forces at conventions and who is opting out of conventions entirely. A competitor to the DLSS graphics revolution. Sony brings more to PC, and Valve still toying with hardware and paying the price. Plus, new releases, and a lot of good discussion! Join us!!

Although we played a variety of video games this week which included space travel, joyous platforming, a delightful vignette of the best parts of a storied video game franchise and more, we cast all of this aside and ask the important question: how big is the lady? The games we scramble over to answer this question include Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Resident Evil 8 Village, and Lair of the Clockwork God.

In this news-stuffed episode of the GameBytes Show podcast, we discuss exactly where all those former Blizzard people have been going with the formation of a new studio. Final Fantasy 14 Fanfest produces several announcements (and a bunch of job-class discussion), new DualSense controllers, Destiny 2’s premature crossplay, Game Center CX adds new “retro” platforms, Pokemon show up in another new music video, and more! New releases, and has Stadia ended IN SHAME yet? The doomsday clock is still ticking!
