Tetracast - Episode 137: The Ides of March

by Bryan Vitale on 18 January, 2020

Welcome to the latest edition of the Tetracast, RPG Site's biweekly (we hope) podcast!

You're not imagining things, our podcast is back with a (partially) new crew! After taking a year off of recording our regular podcast, we're back in 2020!

In our revival edition of the Tetracast, we're still going to keep to tradition of opening with what games, RPGs or otherwise, the cast has been playing recently. George talks about his early impressions of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot while Cullen discusses mixed feelings on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore. George and James talk about their different experiences with last year's The Outer Worlds while Adam goes over his experience with both Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls and The Alliance Alive Remastered.

For industry news, we talk about the numerous delays that have hit the games of early 2020, as well as discuss our feelings on Sony skipping E3 for the second year in a row. In RPG related discussion, we go into the incoming Nintendo Expansion Pass details for both Fire Emblem: Three Houses as well as Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, and the implications for what that means in holiday season 2020. Lastly, we discuss the recently announced PC news about Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and Trails of Cold Steel 3, the new experimental co-op mode for Ys VIII on PC, and what we can expect next for either series in the west this year.

This edition of the Tetracast features Bryan Vitale (@zeomassicot), George Foster(@gepugg), Cullen Black (@DrCullenPHD), Adam Vitale (@King_Seda) and James Galizio (@theswweet).
