Bullet Time is the video game podcast that analyzes the shooters that missed their mark: the failed innovators, odd-offshoots, and forgotten favourites. Every episode, host @hotcyder and a revolving cast of guests dig into the details of developer histories, cultural context, game feel and set-pieces. Expect one-off episodes focused on a single mid-tier classic, as well as mini-series that chart the developers, engines and inspirations that tie multiple titles together.

    Condemned 2: Bloodshot (w/ 2joe)

    On this episode of Bullet Time, we wrap up our look at the Condemned series with its unhinged sequel, Bloodshot. James, Snake, and special guest 2joe return to the streets of Metro on an adventure that's mechnically richer but far sillier in tone. Exploding Dolls, Magicians, and Bears, oh my! 2joe: https://www.youtube.com/@2Joe90 TehSnakerer: https://www.youtube.com/user/tehsnakerer hotcyder: ⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/hotcyder.bsky.social⁠ Patreon: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hotcyder⁠

    Perfect Dark Zero

    On this episode of Bullet Time, James and guest host TehSnakerer go back to where it all began with Rare's 2005 shooter Perfect Dark Zero.

    On this episode of Bullet Time, our miniature mini-series on 2K Marin comes to a close with their second and final release: 2013’s The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. James and guest host TehSnakerer open the book on this redacted part of XCOM history, digging into its initial prototypes and development hurdles, before a much needed autopsy of this alien relic of the prestige FPS era.

    Bioshock 2 (w/ Sputnik 34)

    On this episode of Bullet Time, we begin our shortest mini-series focusing on the work of Novato based developers 2K Marin, beginning with their 2010 shooter sequel Bioshock 2. Video maker Sputnik34 returns for this return to the dystopia of Rapture. We ask whether Irrational's underwater paradise lost its lustre without the vision of its great leader, and just how important are big guns to big games?

    The Darkness II (w/ Zac Frazier)

    On this episode of Bullet Time, Jackie Estacado returns in Digital Extremes’ 2012 follow up to The Darkness, aptly titled The Darkness II. Also returning is video maker ZacFraizer to join James in discussion of this lateral sequel that’s as good as the first but in a very different way. The two also talk about the career of FPS stalwarts Digital Extremes, excellent gun feel, and the mama mia pizza pasta voice.

    The Darkness (w/ Zac Frazier)

    On this episode of Bullet Time, video maker ZacFraizer makes his triumphant return for one of the better games covered on the pod so far: Starbreeze’s 2007 shooter The Darkness. This episode goes long, and includes a spoilered section between 02:16:00 and 03:22:00. In this bumper length runtime we talk developer history, the origins of The Darkness, its unique atmosphere, and place in the pantheon of “prestiege FPS games”.
