The Joystiq Show - 004: The Toys of Summer

Jul 26th 2011 9:24PM (Joystiq)
It is a sad day that I have to say I have joined the exodus from the Joystiq podcast. The show is just not the same anymore guys. What I loved about the old shows was it felt like I was in the room, listening to good friends chatting about games, life, whatever. That is something I have always looked for in my gaming podcasts, whether it was the Brodeo back in the day at 1UP, or Giantbomb and RebelFM currently.

I am just not a fan of the new serious tone, and even with that I do respect the decision by the Stiq staff to make the move. I understand that doing the same thing week in and week out is eventually going to get stale, so for their sake I can appreciate the change. Unfortunately it is not for me.

I will continue to browse the weekly show notes and hope that a topic of my interest comes along, and I will give it a shot. I also hope that this is merely a time of growing pains, trying to figure things out and getting comfortable with the format. Would love to see the podcast blossom into something great. Even my favorites like GFW Podcast, Giantbomb and RebelFM were far from great at their inception either. So hopefully in time the Joystiq show will once again become the gaming podcast I can't wait for on Friday's, it is just not there anymore in it's current state.

Best of luck to the Joystaff as they find their way. Please give me a reason to come back in the future.

All Good Things,

Taco

The 3DS's glasses-free 3D explained

@buzski I agree with you about 3D ... but this is a lot better than making me wear some ridiculous glasses. Other manufacturers should take cue from Nintendo.

Going to hit up my local Blockbuster and see if they have Alan Wake or RDR in stock. Otherwise probably going to be more Bad Company 2.

SOCOM 4 to support PlayStation Move

Mar 10th 2010 8:06PM (Joystiq)
Thanks for clearing that up Xav. Love me some SOCOM, but not really buying into the whole motion controller fad right now. But maybe it will work, just didn't want it forced onto me by one of my favorite Sony franchises of all time.

Dude I hope I am not reading this right where it says SOCOM will require the motion controller. That is going to be upsetting if that is the case.

Final Fantasy XIII footage makes us forget other JRPGs exist

Dec 18th 2008 12:03PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Not really. This game is kind of synonymous with the Playstation in Japan. It would be huge if this was a Xbox exclusive. But if this were a multi console game in Japan, very few people would be getting the 360 version. It's a big deal here in the State to have it multi platform, because this is definitely one of those games that could pull people from the 360 to the PS3 or drive PS3 sales if it were solely PS3. But since the install base in the States is higher for the 360, now Microsoft doesn't have to worry about those people either purchasing a PS3 or moving over to the PS3.

Feel your pain Richard ... having to send in my 5th console now. Of course it craps out here during the biggest game time of the year. So upset. It's a good thing Xbox has so many great games over the PS3, because I would be turning my back on the system at this point for most other things breaking on me 5 times.
