So muss Civilization 7 werden und nicht anders - Talk mit Writing Bull
Michael Graf und Civ-Streamer Writing Bull diskutieren ihre Erwartungen an ein Civilization 7, sind aber nicht immer einer Meinung. Außer beim Grafikstil.
Warum ist Civilization so schwer zu schlagen? - mit Writing Bull
Humankind hat den Angriff auf Civilization gewagt und ist gescheitert. Das liegt an den Stärken von Civ - und der Arroganz der Humankind-Entwickler.
Sind Civilization-Profis wirklich auch bessere Manager? - mit Writing Bull
Wer Civilization beherrscht, besitzt auch Management-Qualitäten. Das hat eine Studie gezeigt, und wir diskutieren mit Civ-Profi Writing Bull, was da dran ist.
Episode 51: The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (360, PS3, PC)
In this episode we dust off an oldie from the backlog and try out the game that was supposed to be the reboot of the XCOM franchise. Is it an under-appreciated hidden gem or has time forgotten this game for a reason? Tune in to find out!
X-COM: Enemy Unknown (1994), by Fernando Rizo
Modern Wolf founder Fernando Rizo has a big throughline of what his favourite games are. Or rather, his favourite genre.
It's reflected in the publisher he founded in 2019 and the games Modern Wolf have put out as well as his own favourite game, UFO Enemy Unknown. Or better known retroactively as X-COM Enemy Unknown, the 1994 version Mythos Games and Microprose.
Tonight, in the game's second appearance on the show following an episode in 2015 during Season 3, Rizo talks of his (albeit, by his own admission) rose-tinted nostalgia for the game, how Jake Solomon and the team at Firaxis carried lessons from that and the Sid Meier school of design into the newer XCOM games and how he got into strategy games through his father.
Also, if you notice a change in audio quality halfway through... no you didn't.
(We had a time recording it, put it like that. Also, quick note: contrary to a comment I make in the episode, X-COM 1994 is readily available on Steam and GoG)
In 62 Minuten zur Tauchstronautin
Ist die Insassin des Taucheranzugs, dessen KI Daniel in In Other Waters spielt, jetzt Taucherin oder Astronautin? Wie viele Spiele kann Sonja aufzählen, die das Sandbox-Survival-Spiel Feel The Snow kopiert? Und warum reißt XCOM: Chimera Squad laut Florian das "Sind die Bösen wirklich böse?"-Narrativ des Vorgängers mit dem Arsch ein? Fragen über Fragen, die natürlich alle beantwortet werden - halbwegs.
Vollumfängliche Antworten auf alles, was mit eingelegtem Gemüse, betäubenden Gewürzen und kochenden Australiern zu tun hat, gibt es allerdings wie gewohnt in den Leckerlevels.
Im Cast besprochene Spiele: XCOM: Chimera Squad, In Other Waters, Feel The Snow, Remnant: From The Ashes, Merchant Of The Skies
Calibrating BT
The time of reckoning hath come to pass! Fogcast #2 is here and you will enjoy it, or else! XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Mass Effect* (big shocker), and assorted scientific preamble appear and contour to the shape of our most recent show.
*The announcement about the newest Mass Effect DLC titled “Omega” was announced shortly after we recorded this week’s podcast. We’ll have more information and a discussion of that on next week’s episode.
