It's the annual E3 press conference review show! Zac and Rob face the challenge without Dan to give a chronological sequence of all that happened on the stage of games. In this ridiculously long episode we cover all the major press events: EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, SONY and Nintendo, potentially in that order.
It's a late and dopey SaladCast this week as Zac had commitments. I know it sounds shocking but it’ll be less so when you find out what he’s committed to. In this episode, Switch online news, the music of ARMS, Far Cry 5, wheel grinding, Rocket League, Assassin’s Creed history, Overwatch, increasingly spoilery Zelda stuff, some things we didn’t do and... Seaman?
Don't cross a hungry wife. Don’t even look at them funny. And don’t for a second think that warm lettuce is going to make things better. In this episode, Vanquish, Splatoon 2, heated exams, Sonic Forces, Factorio, Destiny 2, a tiny bit of eurovision, Heroes of the Storm, a smidgen of kitchen bitchin’, Golden Sun, Professor Layton, Mario and Luigi, and a lot more Zelda.
Here is a totally accurate and truthful list of what is discussed in this episode of the SaladCast without any unrelated blurb. 2DS XL, Heroes of the Storm, Sonic Forces, Call of Duty: WW2, Aaero, Advance Wars: Dark Conflict, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, ticket defacing, Platinum games teases, F-Zero GX, Cargo Commander, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Wipeout Pure, Factorio and more Zelda.
Here's to all those to try and travel on a UK train service. We are a brave and stupid people, willing to submit to the will of those stupider still, the train operators. What we need is an escape from their tyranny. A device which can take us anywhere for less money with the added bonus of privacy and comfort. I present to you the Convenient Arrival Resolver or CAR. In this episode: Nintendo Direct highlights, Battlefront 2, Aaero, Salt, Overwatch, Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty WW2, Enslaved an...
We've taken our random injections, dressed our news wounds and have undergone significant game therapy. I think we’re ready for another round of Saladcasting. In this episode: Hyper Light Drifter, tiredness, Zelda, Rocket League, caffeine, Bayonetta, Destiny 2, falling asleep, Sonic Chaos and Project Scorpio.
Season 8 is here and it promises to be squishier than any before it! The quality of the wisdom will remain unchanged. This episode's word sponges include The Legend Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Grim Fandango, Mass Effect, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Run, Rocket League and the newwwwwws!
New console time is here and in possibly a SaladCast first, two members of the team have it on day one. Now let's switch to these people. In this episode: The Nintendo Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, dental hygiene, Stardew Valley, Assassin’s Creed IV, ear hygiene, F-Zero GX, FAST Racing RMX, Joe Danger 2, hygiene.
I know, I know. This SaladCast is really late. I did that thing where you sit down to do a speicifc task and then end up doing something else, several times, like an idiot. So news and things have probably happened since we recorded this but we've been playing old stuff anyway. Enjoy. In this episode: Nintendo Switch, Assassin’s Creed IV, "10 a day", DiRT Rally, Command and Conquer chatter, Viva Pinata, Black Mesa, Crazy Taxi, Enter the Gungeon, Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut and the obligator...
Confusion is a state that can be so easily adopted by a weak mind. Don't be a weak mind. Be free and let our nonsense wash over you like those fake rain machines that help you sleep a little. In this episode there’s Thumper, Valve’s box of 3, Joe Danger 2, Boost Mode, Overwatch, what "Open World" is, Tetris, FTL, Assassin’s Creed IV, Sonic Generations, gun puns: the game, garbage old games and more Factorio.
It's at time’s like these that we can be very grateful that creative people can come up with worlds better than our own. Escape to the country/sea/space/factory with some SaladCast. In this episode: Xbox news, Enter the Gungeon, DiRT4. double plus bad, Overwatch, speed running, Factorio, Rhianna, Assassin’s Creed 4, Homeworld and more.
With Microsoft shrinking into the corner and Sony standing smug, Nintendo decides now is the time to throw some punches. The Switch is on the way with many a "click" and a few ice cubes. Also in this podcast: Owlboy, Creeper World 3, Homeworld, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Ridge Racer 6, Overwatch, Shenzhen I/O, Scalebound and all the Switch games we care about.
"Negative Chromostereopsis" is one of the words I learnt this year and so are “post-truth” and “Brexit”. But while there's a lot of bad stuff to take away from this year you can also learn about the great year of games we’ve had and the SaladCast is ready to educate you. There’s also some sucky stuff for balance and fun but let’s celebrate! This special SUPER-LONG episode has us figuring the best of the best that we saw and honoring them with possibly the least prestigious GOTY on the internet....
Escape from seasonal commercialism by losing yourself in a chat about products that you can buy! Welcome to your unavoidable fate, 2016! In this episode there's Thumper, glasses, Switch patents, Civilisation VI, Twilight, Titanfall 2, Planet Coaster, Rocket League, Overwatch, some films, EVE and Coin Crypt.
Apparently Rob isn't allowed to follow the normal event rundown format after this episode so enjoy the full coverage of The Game Awards and PSX for the last time... maybe. Along with those big deals we have, Titanfall 2, bathtub coffee, Planet Coaster, hauliers, Team Fortress 2, microphones, Civilisation VI and Donker Bier.
All work and no play make the SaladCast short... ahoy. In this episode we have more Civilisation VI discussions, review what's being said about PS4 Pro, play that theme park game again with Planet Coaster, watch some films and chip away at Shovel Knight. There’s some switch rumours and a reviews review in there too.
It takes more the two buckets of fried chicken and a selection other vaguely brown food items to truly contain the will of the SaladCast. We know, we've tested it. In this episode there’s Battlefield 1 battling, Civilisation VI civilising, Costume Quest questing, Overwatch watching, Factorio factorising, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise troubling and Jetpac refueled refuelling. You can always have more chicken.
Big stuff happening in game world! You need to hear it! No time for idle chit-chat, get podcasting fool! GO GO GO! We got the Nintendo NX Switch-ing it up, Red Dead Redemption 2, Civilisation VI, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Infinifactory, Battlefield 1, Jackbox Party Pack 3, Grand Theft Auto V, Rocket League and maybe the last we'll hear of Factorio. Get to listening!
October is here and games are starting to come out for us to mostly ignore. Instead we talk about, XCOM 2, PSVR, Shadow of Mordor, running, Space Engineers, GTA V, FAST Racing NEO, Theatrythm, pay-to-spray, Affordable Space Adventures, Team Fortress 2 and always more Rocket League.
EGX 2016 is has been occurring and with it came long car journeys. As new regulations will inevitably be brought in to enforce the use of podcasts to keep boredom at bay on such journeys, the SaladCast remains ahead of the curve by providing this car-friendly episode. What makes it car-friendly you say? That'll be the marketing. In this episode there’s more upcoming game hope discussion, Recore, TGS, Project Highrise, Call of Duty, Factorio, PSVR, Battlezone, Overwatch, Battlefield 1, Aaero, Civ...
I might as well be talking from my stomach. It's way louder than my voice right now. Late night McDonanald’s has repercussions. In a twist of planning the SaladCast is coming out early and hot on the heels of the Playstation Meeting. We can be "Pro" when we need to be, we just mostly choose not to be, get off our case! In this ‘cast: PS4 Pro, Airbuds?, Battlefield 1 Beta, Super Mario 1, EVE Online, Tricky Towers, Mass Effect Andromeda, Overcooked, Dara O’Brien’s Go 8-bit, Overwatch, Metal Gear S...
What happens when food colouring, car repair, doorbells and video games combine? The SaladCast emerges in a spontaneous burst of foliage! Also in this episode: No Man's Sky, interior design, Grand Theft Auto V, PS4 Slim, Titanfall 2, Olympic coverage, Star Citizen, sexy consoles and the general hype status of 2016.
It's time for the Salad Games 2016. For the first event we must embrace the new tradition of there being at least one interruption Rob has to deal with per episode. We refer to an classic problem maker, the doorbell. How long into the episode do we make it before it rings? The winner is the closest guess and will win a golden delicious apple they must purchase themselves. This episode contains fridges, No Man’s Sky, DOOM, keyboards and mice, Factorio, XCOM 2, Nano Assault EX, headphones, Overwat...
There's Sonic news! There’s Sonic news! For Zac and Rob this is a big deal so let’s chat about the possibilities and the probability of them being crap. There’s a tiny bit of other news, DOOM, escape rooms, Starbound, house grouse, Factorio, Metal Gear Solid V, honey shoes, Rocket League and XCOM 2.
Rob often gets a bit of a ribbing from his cohorts about what he considers newsworthy for the cast but this week fate leaves Zac in charge of Rob's list... so some stuff may get a bit ignored. This week we have new PC’s, XCOM 2, maintenance, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Day of the Tentacle: Remastered, steering wheel updates, Pokémon GO and gums. CS:GO gambling is shady. Everyone’s on the take.
The E3 ship has sailed and taken most of news with it so let's catch up on some game! This episode serves up some Starfox Guard, MGS, Zelda, Factorio, Quantum Break, Tomb Raider and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.
Continuing on with our coverage of the future of the games industry as described in a glossy form by the games industry we have Ubisoft getting eagles, SONY effervescing, Nintendo ebbing and other news existing.
It's time for the three E’s to come together and combine their powers to open a portal to the games of tomorrow, distilling this vision down into a series of press conferences. In Part 1 of our chronological retelling, EA gets embarrassing, Bethesda gets elderly and Mircrosoft gets enthused.
Get hype! E3 is only a couple of days away so it's time to mop up all the leaks before we bathe in the convention goodness. Everyone is spilling their drinks from Sony to Nintendo, Microsoft Ubisoft... I think everybody’s drunk before the party has begun. Also this week: Quantum Break, football, Overwatch, Minecraft, Watchdogs 2, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, Speedrunners, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, hot tubs and a good helping of speculation.
Rob is back from Japan and now forced to live in the here and now again. Fortunately the Saladcast is here and a little bit now, so come and live with us in it. This weeks there's Japan, Disney Infinity, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, old EA news that sucks, new EA news that might not suck, Factorio, Rocket League, Overwatch, Doom, MGS, The Witness, and fight sticks!
