Quantity doesn't always mean quality, which is a motto you could certainly apply to this long episode of the Tempcast. Joining us for this special anniversary episode is prominent GBAtemp member and lawyer Eric "Ericzander" Zander. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a mic for him so he used an old pair of half-broken airpods. Join us as we discuss the latest gaming news, such as new additions to the Silent Hill franchise, the N64 title Perfect Dark finally decompiled before Microsoft was able to...

In this week's episode we discuss the recent announcements of brand new remakes, such as The Last of Us Part I, Lollipop Chainsaw, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (lol no), XIII Remake: The Remake, and Sonic Origins. We also discuss the AM2R team coming back with a brand new title on kickstarter. That's pretty much it. I don't know what else to write in the description, it's a pretty boring episode.

In this week's episode we discuss the recent announcements made during Sony's State of Play, revealing titles such as Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter VI, The Simpsons: Return of Graggle, Among Us 2 and much more. We also talk about the new Sonic Frontiers trailer, and whether or not it looks good. Speaking of sub-par trailers, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet received a new one, join us as we discuss the hypersexualization of Pokemon. Finally, we end on a couple of smaller topics - Dark Souls 3 servers...

Join us in this week's episode of the Tempcast as we poorly explain the latest news in the gaming and homebrew development world. Starting off, we talk about the long awaited update to the legendary DesMuME emulator, finally adding high-resolution 3D rendering and some other features. Alongside the DS, the PS5 finally has made it's first step into the emulation scene thanks to the new Kyty PS4/PS5 emulator beginning it's development. Speaking of great accomplishments in software, Sonic 2006...

In this weeks low-energy, zero-motivation episode we discuss some interesting news from the homebrew scene. Starting off, we discuss the Ship of Harkinian Ocarina of Time PC port getting some new updates including 60fps (this portion of the podcast contains a segment where AlanJohn poorly explains how interpolation works and why it's a no-no in gaming). Millions of Windows 95 gamers were heartbroken from the news that the acclaimed emulator Dolphin is going to be available only on Windows 10...

Join us this week as we discuss some of the biggest gaming and homebrew related news in the past week, month or whatever time it's been since the last episode. Starting off, we talk about the new hopefully-not-to-be-DMCA'd-soon homebrew project called Metroid 64 by mexican developer Luto Akino, following up with the new fiscal report for Nintendo's FY. After which, we talk about a newly discovered build of Duke Nukem Forever - with the source code out on the web somewhere, compilable and...

In this week's episode, we discuss the ESA confirming that E3 2022 won't happen this year, neither live or online. After that, we discuss Ocarina of Time getting a PC port thanks to the de-compilation efforts by the community. Speaking of effort, Sony isn't putting any into a PS3 emulator for the PS5, something we talk about during the PS Plus section of the episode. Finally, One Piece, the hit japanese cartoon series, is getting an RPG. We barely talk about it.

This week, Stephen and Alanjohn discuss two popular news stories about Nintendo taking legal action against people on the internet. First, popular Youtuber GilvaSunner, who uploaded video game soundtracks, had his channel taken down by Nintendo; then, we discuss the upcoming sentencing for Team Xecuter's Gary Bowser. Finally, we touch on a few smaller stories from this week, such as Grand Theft Auto VI's announcement, the release of the Resident Evil 4 HD modpack, and the Nintendo Switch...

Sometimes we talk about news on this podcast. Well, we tried this episode, starting off about Crysis 4, then it devolved into a debate about whether or not LEGO games are real games (spoiler: they aren't), and then we just talked about Legends Arceus for like 30 minutes. I'm sorry for the people who actually expected a cohesive podcast experience detailing the latest news in the gaming world, but this one just ain't it. But hey, there's actually an alternative version of this episode with all...

Sometimes, there are stories big enough you need to dedicate an entire episode to them. That happened this week, as Microsoft purchased publishing giant Activision Blizzard in a landmark $68.7 billion deal. We break down all the angles on this acquisition, such as the impact Activision Blizzard's recent legal trouble may have had on this deal, the conspiracy about this being an inside job, the scummy moves by Phil Spencer in the press leading up to the announcement, and more!

Sometimes you have weeks when nothing really happens. Then you have weeks like this, when a ton of news both from the homebrew communities and mainstream gaming media is revealed. In this episode, we start off with the biggest controversy so far in 2022 - Microsoft seemingly out of the blue removing dev access for people who paid for it on the Xbox platform, and then doing a complete 180, not 360 as many would expect. We then discuss how GoldenEye 007 might be getting a remaster/remake...

In this week's episode we dive into the vast homebrew scene of the Wii U, discussing the new Tiramisu environment developed by Maschell. We also talk about how the Wii U is arguably one of the best emulation consoles especially if you have a Tesla. With android phones becoming more powerful by the month, it's no surprise Switch emulators have started development on the major mobile platform. In this episode, we discuss two of them, one of which is the new currently in development Skyline...

In this week's episode we discuss the PS4 9.00 jailbreak that has made most PS4 consoles out in the wild completely hackable, with the slight possibility that an exploit on the PS5 could be possible in the near future. Speaking of Sony products, apparently one of Death Stranding's unique gameplay features is one of them now. Finally, we briefly talk about the original Splinter Cell getting a remake. Imagine, two people who've never played Splinter Cell, talking about Splinter Cell, what a...

Listen to this week's episode of the Tempcast if you didn't get a chance to view The Game Awards 2021, it's basically the same thing only you miss out on 75% of the announcements (admittedly, we only talked about the ones that matter) and 100% less Imagine Dragons. We also talk about how a Sony VP got caught trying to do some bad stuff, the Sonic 2 trailer and more. We promise the next episode will be better. 0:00 - Intro 2:22 - TGA Recap 14:40 - Toei animation controversy 17:20 - Super...

In this week's episode we have RyRyIV chime in to discuss his love for Resident Evil 4 and why it's practically the best game ever made, even better than his personal favorite Resident Evil 5. While dedicated modders bring the game back to life in HD with an upcoming mod pack, Take Two is issuing trademark violations to seemingly everyone who uses the words Take Two, including the indie game "It Takes Two", which is something we talk about in poor legal detail as well. We also talk about new...

In this week's low energy, last minute episode, relauby and Chary talk about the General Public License, two cool Ocarina of Time homebrew projects, Kojima Productions opening up a new L.A. division, D.C. Douglas possibly leaking a Resident Evil 4 remake, the turnaround on fan reception to Cyberpunk 2077 and Sony's new patent for a mobile controller.

In this week's episode two buffoons and RyRyIV have a somewhat coherent discussion about Rockstar games releasing an apology for the disastrous GTA Trilogy "definitive" edition, which is something we have been discussing every week for the past year or so it seems. There's also possible legal trouble for the CEO of Activision/Blizzard Bobby Kotick on the way, but unfortunately for us, our resident lawyer Eric "Ericzander" Zander esq. didn't do enough preparation for this topic (or any for...

Just like the Nintendo console, Tempcast 64 although ambitious proves to be underwhelming in terms of the content it provides. Sure, we have some cool scene news like Pokemon BDSP leaking, as well as the PS2 emulator PCSX2 hitting an important milestone. The PS5 also got "hacked", twice, and we explain in quite poor technical detail why this isn't going to affect the very young hacking scene any time soon. However, this episode is bogged down by a couple nonsense opinion pieces. Do you want...

In this week's clickbait-titled episode we unsurprisingly cling on the news about famous SX OS developer Gary Bowser pleading guilty in the recent lawsuit against him which shook the Nintendo Switch hacking scene. Leading expert and certified lawyer Ericzander chimes in with his superficial, yet at the same time meaningful knowledge about the case and explains what's likely going to happen next in this infamous case. As a highlight, we briefly mention the Bloodborne PS1 de-make coming to PC...

In this week's terrifying episode, we dwell into a cauldron of topics. Starting off, we revisit the Sega Saturn emulator found in the release of Cotton Guardian Force on the Switch, which was discovered by GBAtemp user lisreal2401. We also discuss RPCS3 hitting an incredible milestone of being able to boot every single PS3 game, as well as the Uncharted trailer. We briefly touch upon how the recent Nvidia GeForce Now leaks are slowly becoming true with the announcement of God of War (2018)...

In this week's mediocre but thankfully short episode, we discuss the few things that happened this week in regards to the Switch. Specifically, the price reveal for the Switch Online "expansion pack" being as disappointing as this podcast. If you have a Switch OLED and want to play N64 games at a reasonable price - you might just be in luck, for it seems the new model has the same vulnerabilities as the previous one. But what if you're more of a Sega Saturn type of person? Thankfully, we...

On this week's disorganized episode, the crew talks about the major Twitch hack that happened this week, and touches on the Facebook outage while discussing a new program that allows you to disconnect your Quest 2 headset from your Facebook and Oculus accounts. Also, resident Metroid fan AlanJohn gives his thoughts on Metroid Dread and resident Kingdom Hearts fan Ericzander lectures us on the KH timeline and the implications brought on by Sora's inclusion in Smash Bros. Finally, we quickly...

Low energy, little effort - you can use these words to describe a lot of things. For example, the rumors spread by certain websites this week, or this episode of the Tempcast. Hey, even the description is meh. Join us on this episode as we discuss the latest leaks from Konami and Nintendo, whether or not they're real or if anyone really cares, as well as actual news, like Bluepoint getting acquired by Sony and the PS2 era GTA trilogy popping up on a Korean ratings board.

In this week's episode we are in shock and awe as everybody else from the Nintendo Direct which happened on September 23rd. From the Super Mario movie cast reveal to N64 games finally coming to the switch, albeit not in a way many of us hoped, we discuss these topics in excruciating detail. Furthermore, we talk about the new and revamped GBAtemp V8. Alongside those topics, we also touch on the subject of Blizzards CEO getting a subpoena, in our lawyer segment led by special guest Eric...
