Join Ben Potter and Peter Austin as they run through some listener questions, what they’re playing, some weird gaming news, and the numerous video game delays announced in 2021 so far, as a knock-on effect of a year-long pandemic. What about a Looney Tunes Gacha game bringing back the old, and frankly unsettling, meme of ‘Big Chungus’ Bugs Bunny? This is the TripleJump gaming podcast.

I have already enjoyed a lot of games this year. Hitman 3, Little Nightmares 2 and especially Persona 5 Strikers.
Stuff like Returnal, Pokemon Snap, Resident Evil, Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank, Horizon, Life is Strange, SMT V, No More Heroes, etc. is still coming up.
And then remasters like Shin Megami Tensei 3, Mass Effect, Skyward Sword, etc.
It'll be a good year. Not great but good.
Nah this year is already better than 2014. Not a single remarkable game came out in 2014…
Woop Vale played yesterday and won (4 in a row ) so I get to watch on release. Thanks lads
Visual Novels can be carried by their stories much like those olden time "Paper Novels". (Or people playing them are just SEXUALLY AROUSED).
Ben, I also played My Name is Mayo for the Steam achievements, so I feel your pain. At least I could use an autoclicker on my computer though.
Feed the algorithm!!!!!
I've been skipping the "sponsor" bit for quite some time. Funny once…5 times., 10 not so much.
I agree with Peter, 109 times is too much (10 times was too many…)
Oh yeah!
Here we go!
In general you could say the mobile games and console/PC games are designed differently and aim for different kind of experience but there are plenty of mobile games that are very console game-like. Or even the same, really. And there are many mobile ports of (often older) RPGs too.
The most current example of blurring lines of console/PC/mobile is Genshin Impact. It's the same game on all platforms, except the mobile users suffer from some control related things (like the archers being hell to play) and stuff like that. So, the experience still differs somewhat and personally, I don't think it's ideal to play it on mobile because there are other options, but it's still impressive.
I also want different kind of games on my mobile and on my Playstation and PC, so when I have tried more console-esque games on mobile, I have quit them very fast because they aren't fun to play like that even though they would've been interesting.
Nah 1921 was the worst year for video games
You’re the best. Period.
Path of Exile and full WotLK servers good year
The boys: “you can’t play console games on mobile”

Usually not a fan of podcast, but this is solid entertainment! Favorite part of this channel for me is the Every game ranked series – hoping for a NFS ranking in the future 🙏
Why would we not want the overall quality of video games to go up now that we’re investing more time in them than ever before?
If the lines between gaming and movie experiences are being blurred more and more than why cheapen the experience by letting higher ups who’ll probably never play the game themselves make greedy decisions that end up reducing the quality of releases…
Lovely Podcasting BOYz! (Talking about the first question) I was kinda embarrassed playing Destiny 1 & 2 when everyone was making fun of it. I don’t play it anymore, but I loved it!
On the subject of QA testing. I actually work as a tester for an independant Localisation testing company (LQA). So we are approached by developers to thoroughly test and bug report their soon to be released games, focusing solely on the text found within games. This means that it tends to be JP or non English games that have been translated into various languages including English. LQA is a sector of the gaming industry that isn't often noticed (hence the not so great pay and mostly zero hour contracts, sadly) , but we ve definitely significantly improved games that at the beginning of projects are a complete mess.
I think dating simulator games are fun when they don’t take themselves to seriously. It’s a lot more fun when the game Dev is in on the joke and plays with the dialogue.
There was a great RPG that I loved as a teen, bought it internationally because the box art was very cool. It was called DOT Hack. It was a 4 part ps2 game were you are role playing a character playing a video game and you have to uncover a mystery built into the game to save your friend. It was very meta and the story mode had me completely hooked as a teen. Not a lot of people played that game despite it having a connected anime, ova, books and spin off games and movies. Blows my mind that now one heard of it while teens now watch sword art online. 🤷♂️ The spin-off got a remaster a couple years ago. Hoping the Renaster that original characters game. The original games are super rare to find nowadays, it was a game that was over looked because it was so niche at the time, but again there are probably lots of hidden gems out there that didn’t get the mainstream appeal. Same thing happened to Earthbound only to discovered again by the masses a decade later.
The boys need to play It Takes Two.
I was baffled when people seemed excited that ‘Crystal Dynamics’ were making the Avengers game because all I saw were red flags. CD have largely made bad games while the Tomb Raider series it made was not bad, just mediocre. When Avengers turned out to be a disappointment it very much squared with my expectations of CD but when I read coverage of the game, I’m surprised this doesn’t seem to be a more widely held view 🤷♂️
