    The "David Lynch" of Game Studios | The Making of Max Payne (ft. Lukas Bray)

    We're back! After a snowy winter where everything fell apart for us, we're finally back with a brand new episode of LGA—and this time, we're slow-motion diving into one of the most beloved action games of all time: Max Payne! We take a look at the early days of Remedy Entertainment, exploring their early influences and how they elevated the action genre with their own unique blend of "Twin Peaks"-inspired weirdness. So go grab your painkillers, Hawaiian shirts, and leather trench coats. It's time to party like it's 1999.

    Next Gen Arcade: Cyberpunk 2077, The Game Awards, & ”Content”

    WOOOOOAAAHHH NELLY DO WE HAVE A DOOZY OF A FILLER EPISODE FOR YA. On this edition of Next Gen Arcade, Will and Nate dive into The Game Awards and share their 2 cents on this year's nominees. Later on, the bois get philosophical on what "content" actually means and how people are responding to being treated as consumers by corporate conglomerates like Disney. Finally, Nate and Will chrome up to deliver their long-awaited review of the much talked about Cyberpunk 2077 and it's expansion pack The Phantom Liberty. It's a huge game, one that has consumed your hosts for a better part of a year, so it's time to see how it finally stacks up to the promises it made all those years ago. ––– Visit our website: www.chapspodcastnetwork.com Check out Nathan's Blog: https://lastgenarcade.ca/ BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/lastgenarcade   Follow Us!   @LastGenArcade on Twitter   @LastGenArcade on Instagram   Music by Nathan Iles

    Assassin’s Creed (2007) | REVIEW (Ft. Al Johnson)

    The time has come. Is everything permitted, or are you just stuck climbing towers and manspreading on benches? That's right, everyone—the bois are reviewing the blueprint for modern open world gaming, 2007's Assassin's Creed! Nate and Will have ripped on this game a lot in the past, but now it's time to test its mettle and see how wrong our heroes might've been. With the help of Alan Johnson, we're taking a step back into the Crusades to murder templars, parry every single attack, and trip over unsuspecting civilians.   ––– Check out Alan's podcast "Two Bad Neighbors": https://open.spotify.com/show/6yQBSwPKPzIOtPsSQhc64f https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/two-bad-neighbors-a-simpsons-podcast/id985326156 Visit our website: www.chapspodcastnetwork.com Check out Nathan's Blog: https://lastgenarcade.ca/ BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/lastgenarcade   Follow Us!   @LastGenArcade on Twitter   @LastGenArcade on Instagram   Music by Nathan Iles

    Blades & Buyouts | The Making of Assassin’s Creed (2007) (Ft. Al Johnson)

    Your resident sadbois have gone out of their way to talk a lot of smack about Assassin's Creed and its formula—but there is no denying that it has left indelible mark on the entire gaming industry. And whether our heroes like it or not, they also have a history with this long-running franchise. Now its time to put the one that started it all to the test... Joining the bois this week is Alan Johnson (AKA Dark Maniac), who is here to flesh out the journey and make a case as to why Nate and Will are being a bit too hard on this game. ––– Our Sources: https://www.polygon.com/features/2018/10/3/17924770/assassins-creed-an-oral-history-patrice-desilets https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/12/06/ubi-uncensored.aspx https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/6P2OoMbx17TavKwwHev2eT/looking-back-on-10-years-of-assassins-creed https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/company/about-us/our-story  https://www.denofgeek.com/games/assassins-creed-how-the-franchise-was-born/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/history-assassins-creed/ https://web.archive.org/web/20130327034149/http://www.edge-online.com/features/the-making-of-assassins-creed/ ––– Check out Alan's podcast "Two Bad Neighbors": https://open.spotify.com/show/6yQBSwPKPzIOtPsSQhc64f https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/two-bad-neighbors-a-simpsons-podcast/id985326156 Visit our website: www.chapspodcastnetwork.com Check out Nathan's Blog: https://lastgenarcade.ca/ BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/lastgenarcade   Follow Us!   @LastGenArcade on Twitter   @LastGenArcade on Instagram   Music by Nathan Iles
