Just finished. Great episode. I love how you guys reflected on the hype surrounding the western release. I remember it well. One of the games that convinced me to save up and get a Genesis even though I already had an SNES.

Fantastic premise for an episode. I have so many PS1 era RPGs I missed out on in their time since distribution in Australia was a bit of a nightmare but they're now available on PSN. Working out which ones are worth my time now that my time is a little more valuable than it was when I was in high school is super useful.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with my gf (who is a giant Suikoden fan girl). Games take months, even years to develop...even 20-25 years ago. Sometimes those games even get retooled for a new hardware generation. I feel like (much like Tales of Destiny) the first Suikoden started its life as an SNES game and ended up on the PS1. (Just to be clear, I don't know this...just suspect it).

If I didn't know better (Sony 1st party game), I'd think the same of Wild Arms.

A couple other examples: ICO started life as a PS1 game, Shenmue started life as a Saturn game, Fable started life as a Dreamcast game (announced E3 2001 if memory serves).

Haha! Did I recommend it? I think it was just a weird and cool game.

Well you put it on the list and told people to check it out even with the price of 40-50$...
Although you did mention that it was past 11PM and your brain stopped working, so you do have an alibi. ;)

BTW you could most definitely play Quake III Arena versus PC gamers.
I remember doing that back in the day against a buddy that played on PC.
But they did have separate servers though, so PC players couldn't enter Dreamcast only servers.

Never used a mouse and keyboard myself and thus got my ass handed to me.
Although when I played against DC players with controllers, I came across quite a couple that couldn't believe I was playing with a controller as well.
Loved that game so much, and the system is still one of my favourites, along with the Saturn.

I grew up with arcade games starting in the late 70's so it's only normal that those systems would have such a pull on me.

Just listened to this and that was an amazing podcast. I first heard of Ryan early last year when he was on the Kinda Funny Gamescast and discussed his time with Kojima and thought that was awesome too. He's a really good storyteller and has had a really interesting career. The part where he discussed convincing Suzuki to use Kickstarter/make the game in this way was fascinating. I didn't know he was so involved with the project and visits every 2 months.

That anecdote about showing Yu the latest tech didn't exactly inspire confidence. I realize he's been out of the AAA space a while, but he didn't know about Unreal engine or GTA V?
