Todd Howard’s directorial debut, Redguard shows a studio and franchise at a turning point. It was the first truly 3D Elder Scrolls game and one that […]

This week we get back to Fallout and discuss some of the things that maybe haven’t aged as well, like the humor, as well as some of our favorite moments from the game, and the ending!

This week our Fallout episodes finally emerge from the vault. Recorded almost a year ago, these episodes were too hot, the takes were too spicy to be released to the public. But now as global climates reach historic highs, our dive into the post-apocalyptic RPG of a lone individual on the search for water for […]

Todd Howard took us through an extensive overview of various systems and components of Starfield. Today we deep dive into everything we learned from the presentation and talk through where we still have questions and concerns about the game. How much mining will you really have to do? How does everything fit together? Is there […]

We leave Tamriel behind for the multi-tiered Kingdom of Hyrule and give our impressions of the opening sections of the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. We talk a lot about expectations and how Nintendo has managed to subvert them while still creating what is recognizably the second Breath of the Wild style Zelda. […]

This week we continue to discuss The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. We talk though the insane difficulty curve that means escaping the tutorial will be the hardest thing you do in the entire game, and the difficulty of just navigating spaces. We also talk about the size of the world of Daggerfall, and how despite […]

This week our journey into Todd Howard’s works truly begins. Well, kind of. After some talk about headphones falling apart, we get in to how Todd got in to the business of making games. Then we talk about the Elder Scrolls series as a whole, our relationships to them, and finally we get in to […]

You thought season 1 was over? Absolutely not! Miyamoto is back and he is tearing up the charts with The Super Mario Bros Movie, which is on its way to being one of the most financially successful animated films of all time. But is it artistically successful? Does it have Miyamoto’s trademark touch? How does […]

Welcome to Gameography Side Quest, our new short form format. We’ll be dropping these in occasionally to supplement our regular episodes with topics that don’t fit in neatly to our regular format. This time, we talk about Tim’s slow but steady descent into a lurid love affair with PC gaming. What is it about these […]

This week we say farewell to John Romero with his last AAA shooter, Daikatana. Last week we talked through its disturbed development, and this time we talked about how, despite Daikatana being one of the most reviled games of all time, it still left us disappointed somehow. It’s one of those rare blunders that makes […]

This week we begin to wrap up our journey with Id co-founder John Romero with a look at the ill-fated production of his post-Id project Daikatana. Daikatana has been a punchline for the last 23 years, but it wasn’t always. There were a few years when it was one of the most highly anticipated games […]

This week we continue our retrospective on Deus Ex, the seminal Immersive Sim. While age hasn’t been entirely kind to the game’s visuals and sounds, we found a surprisingly relevant and meaningful story and clever design to be found. We talk about Deus Ex’s relationship to player choice and player agency, and the masterful way […]

We’re back after a bit of a break with Matt Devil to continue discussing the history of the immersive sim with the quintessential spy action thriller Deus Ex.

This week we’re joined by special guest Matthew Devil to talk games that have made us cry, Sonic the Hedgehog, the upcoming Mario movie and of course we get around to talking through our thoughts on the System Shock remake demo at some point. That’s it for Gameography for 2022. We’ll be back next year […]

We talk a bit about the punishing difficulty and how that probably stopped many from seeing the quite insane ending. And we finally get to talking about how the game was made by a small team working in symbiosis with the company who made the original System Shock, Looking Glass Studios while they worked on […]

System Shock 2 took players into deep space and placed them in the middle of a politically complex and tense situation. While the player character has amnesia and wakes up to the horror of an alien infestation on their ship, the player knows that this is System Shock and that SHODAN is somewhere around the […]

System Shock 2 saw rookie designer Ken Levine and his new business partners at Irrational Games take a swing at their take on the System Shock universe. System Shock 2 introduced true survival horror elements to the franchise, and concerned you less with hacking AIs and more with hacking apart zombies. This game is still […]
The post S2 E21: System Shock 2 – The Horror of Discovery first appeared on Gameography Podcast.
System Shock was an early example of a game that thrust you into a fully realized world, with a backstory, seamless travel between areas and interlocking systems. It could appear almost quaint given that these things are in many ways the standards by which almost all modern games are judged, but at the time they […]

Looking Glass Technology did what Id didn’t. The plan for their 1994 immersive first-person shooter was on the face of things quite similar to Romero and Hall’s vision for Doom: A story driven, action packed, seamless open world adventure through a space station. But while Romero ditched the story and open-world design, for short levels […]
