While high-fiving Remap fans and drinking Boston IPAs, Patrick walked the floor of PAX East with a microphone, chatting with developers along the way. This podcast is the result, featuring conversations about running a horror-focused game developer, the struggles of being an independent game developer who is also a parent, how to deal with overprotective owners of high-profile movie characters, and ways to solve game discovery with a…card game? Naturally.
Discussed: Ludoscene 4:16, We Harvest Shadows 21:42, DreadXP 41:29, Dead by Daylight 1:02:43

Rob, Patrick, and Chia have traveled to PAX East, though only two of us actually spent time wandering around the show floor before sitting down to record an in-person version of Remap Radio. (We also recorded a video version that’ll be released soon.) But Patrick and Chia played a bunch of very cool games, including Demonschool, Fretless, that grimdark Pac-Man game, Aksun, A Good Night’s Rest, and more.

As part of LudoNarraCon, Patrick had an opportunity to spend an hour chatting with Davey Wreden, acclaimed designer behind The Stanley Parable, The Beginner’s Guide, and Wanderstop. Patrick and Davey were in similar social circles while living in San Francisco, but it’s been a minute since they caught up. During the chat, the two discuss the consequences of early fame, the problems with using video game design as therapy for your soul, and more.

The day after recording Remap Radio, a bunch of huge news broke, including the presumed deaths of beloved media outlets Polygon and Giant Bomb. They might continue to exist, but in what form? Plus, Xbox announced massive, sweeping, and unprecedented price hikes across hardware and software. Rob and Patrick hopped on to react in real-time and get really upset.

With the NBA playoffs kicking off, Rob and Patrick gather around their sports microphones to talk—well, it takes a minute until we reach the NBA playoffs. A child that accidentally falls in love with the Chicago Bears? Check. Torpedo bats? Check. MLB salary caps? Check. Stephen A. Smith and the vacuum of Democratic politicians speaking to the moment? Check, check, check.

You asked, we listened. Everyone at Remap played Blue Prince, but not everyone at Remap is convinced they’re going to keep spending time in this mysterious mansion. But first, it’s time to break down the week’s news with Rob, Cado, Janet, and Patrick, as they talk through PS5 price increases, the debut of Marathon, and the increasingly credible Oblivion remaster.

Look, we recorded this on Wednesday. You can’t hold us accountable for the way news is changing rapidly these days. It’s chaos out there. But that won’t stop Janet, Rob, Cado, and Patrick from idly speculating on Nintendo pausing pre-orders in the U.S. and Canada, before talking about how BDS have called for boycotting Microsoft after it fired two employees who dared protest. We also chat about playing (and enjoying) South of Midnight, the board game Molly House, and plenty of your questions, including the correct way to reheat a slice of pizza.

It’s been a few weeks since Patrick bested Nextlander’s Brad Shoemaker in a classic setup: who can beat the purposely difficult and arcane Volgarr the Viking and Volgarr the Viking II first, when played back-to-back while streaming? In its wake, Patrick chatted with Kris Dürrschmidt, CEO and creative director at Volgarr the Viking developer Crazy Viking Studios. You’ll do fine listening if you haven’t played Volgarr the Viking, as they spend most of their time discussing the nature of challenge, gotcha design, and the evolution of gaming’s relationship with difficulty.

It’s true, Patrick did not have a tummy ache during Remap’s in-person stream. Instead, he was spending the day playing Switch 2 games! In addition to Rob and Cado, Patrick’s joined by Austin Walker to break down everything Switch 2 from this week, speculate on the future of luxury consumerism in an age of tariffs, answer a bunch of questions, and spend a shockingly long time Remembering Old PC Games. Note: This was recorded on our livestream microphones and on set, so excuse the slightly different audio and occasional distraction.

Patrick, Janet, Rob, and Cado kick off a new episode of Remap Radio about Ubisoft’s clapback to Elon Musk and what it says about the industry’s failed collective response to Gamergate. We also chat about the return of Game Informer, time spent with games like Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Hopshot. Plus, a shockingly long time wondering: can an iPad fix me?

Has it really been three years since Severance ended? Phew. The second season of Apple’s revelatory sci-fi show concluded last week, prompting Patrick, Rob, and Cado to jump on some microphones and hash out their thoughts on what’s happening at Lumon. What kind of corporation has their own in-house marching band?

The Game Developers Conference is happening in San Francisco, and Patrick and Rob are [checks notes] not there and a little bummed about it, which leads to a longer discussion about the role of games media in helping spread information from events like it. They also talk about Bobby Kotick filing a lawsuit against various media outlets and the new Life Is Strange flopping, before Cado joins for a long discussion on the (excellent!) Assassin’s Creed Shadows, early weird troubles with Rob’s new PC, and consider why some fruit snacks look better than others.

Lord knows what the future will look like tomorrow, let alone years from now. And yet, Sony’s experiments in turning Aloy into AI slop and reports about Microsoft’s hardware future have Janet, Rob, Cado, and Patrick looking into Remap’s crystal ball.

Starting the podcast with good news? And yet, the release of Command & Conquer’s source code is weird, unexpected, and cool! Oh, and Rob bought another PC? Hmm. From there, it’s another discussion with Rob, Janet, Cado, and Patrick about their time with Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, what it means to be a critic of a genre you’re invested in, and more. Also, Patrick and Janet have spent time with Split Fiction, Rob’s plucking away at Keep Driving, there’s cool stuff happening deeper into Avowed, and we may have stumbled into a 250-part video series where Rob plays an old NES Koei strategy game about the Revolutionary War.

Can we turn the video game industry off and on again? Sadly, we kick off this week’s podcast with Cado, Patrick, Janet, and Rob having a lengthy discussion about the collapse of Monolith, the deeper rot at Warner Bros. Games, and how generational shifts in video game habits may be, in part, to blame. We also chat about the games we’ve been enjoying in the latest Steam Next Fest, why Patrick’s bounced off Monster Hunter Wilds, Janet’s extended time in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and Rob’s journeys with Quickbooks customer support. Oh, and Patrick has one hell of a story of how Cado ended up solving a technical problem for him.

The whole crew is back together again! Join Patrick, Janet, Rob, and Cado as they unpack Microsoft’s push into using AI to produce “gameplay,” which leads to a long discussion about the nature of art and creativity in a prompt-filled world. We also talk about the weirdness about Marvel Rivals developers being laid off despite producing a hit, before getting into their collective feelings over Don’t Nod’s latest coming-of-age drama, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. We also share brief thoughts on Civilization 7, While Waiting, Keep Driving, and others, before The Question Bucket takes us to a dangerous place: hey, is Chuck E. Cheese a restaurant?
