Did LoZ's sound design catch your attention as well, GAF?

Lactose_Intolerant · (06-10-2013, 02:35 AM)

Just listening too it now.

Should have released after E3, this will get lost very quickly.

Get at least one person that is older. Would really like to hear someone's perspective that was like a teenager when the game came out. Get your cousin in on the call, lol. That would have been a good story.

Good call, will make sure to do that on future shows.

MisterC20XX · (06-10-2013, 03:10 AM)

Sounds good, I'll give it a listen.

SMT · (06-10-2013, 03:11 AM)

Can I be on the next episode as a special guest?
I'll need a DeLorean.

Kabuki Quantum Lover · (06-10-2013, 03:12 AM)

Nice. I've got something for my commute tomorrow.

Ein Bear · (06-10-2013, 03:14 AM)

Listening to this now, really good stuff so far - great job! I could listen to people talk about Zelda for hours.

Glad you guys are enjoying it. I was surprised how well it went.

Khronico · (06-10-2013, 03:38 AM)

Nice! Will listen to it tomorrow.

RkOwnage · (06-10-2013, 03:52 AM)

I enjoyed being part of this, was a fun discussion and everyone was very enthusiastic, looking forward to doing more in the future!!

Ein Bear · (06-10-2013, 03:57 AM)

It's interesting hearing you guys talk about how the lack of hand-holding and open ended nature of the game made it seem so amazing to you as kids.

You often hear how the more linear, hand holding nature of the modern Zelda games is a concession for new players. But I agree that it's the lack of these things that made me fall in love with series in the first place when I was a new player. I'd love to see them shift closer to the original LoZ for the next game.

JEKKI · (06-10-2013, 03:57 AM)

I love retro and podcasts! will listen!

I would love that as well; it seems Nintendo is aware that's what we want, so hopefully we'll see them act on that knowledge with the next console Zelda.

JoeyJungle · (06-10-2013, 04:17 AM)

I've actually only ever played the first Zelda for a couple minutes. I think I'm gonna give it a shot while you guys cast your pod straight into my ears.

oatmeal · (06-10-2013, 08:34 AM)

I was hesitant to subscribe until I saw you covered Zelda.

You have my ear.

AND MY AXE!

GillianSeed79 · (06-10-2013, 08:37 AM)

Going to sleepies, will give it a shot as I try to rest before the apocalypse tommorow.

Def Jukie · (06-10-2013, 08:47 AM)

I've got a long drive for work tomorrow and will give this a listen then. Skimmed through a little just now and am at the very least impressed with the sound quality. Will leave some feedback after I listen to it proper but the sound quality seems to be excellent.

Maastricht · (06-10-2013, 09:04 AM)

Great stuff! I'd love to be a part of a podcast like this myself, but I lived in an alterate universe with C64s and Atari 800s, and later Amiga and Atari ST, only joining the console ranks a year or two after the original Playstation. Should anyone want to do a podcast about that era though, sign me up!

Crewnh · (06-10-2013, 09:50 AM)

Great podcast so far. Interesting to hear how you guys got into the series.

I really doubt that Nintendo will fix Wind Waker. Just from what they did with OoT which was pretty lazy content wise.

Also come on, ALttP2 doesnt look that bad visually. But I do understand the sentiment of not wanting to revisit the same world or it tarnishing the original's legacy.

subversus · (06-10-2013, 10:18 AM)

is it focused on consoles or PC or both?

I'll post here now to remind myself to listen, but this is going to be completely overshadowed by E3.

I figure as much. Not like the episodes will go out of date.

Thanks! Good points!

CoachKevin · (06-11-2013, 02:22 PM)

Any major fans of Journey to Silius that played it back when it came out want to join in on the podcast?

CoachKevin · (06-12-2013, 02:34 AM)

Still looking for fans of Journey to Silius. Otherwise it looks like the next game will be DuckTales.

sixteen-bit · (06-12-2013, 04:41 AM)

Ducktales is probably a good call what with the disastrous remake coming out.

haha, yeah, been great replaying it this week for the show.

CoachKevin · (06-12-2013, 10:06 PM)

I am putting together a list of games to hit on the next few weeks. Here is the list of the upcoming episodes. Would love your requests:

Duck Tales
Journey to SIlius
Shenmue
Sonic CD

Tadale · (06-12-2013, 10:08 PM)

Not enough retro gaming podcasts.

For sure, hopefully we can fill in the void a bit.

CoachKevin · (06-13-2013, 01:56 AM)

iTunes link added to first post, if you like it please submit a review! And give us some feedback on here, I want this to be a show you guys want to listen to.

I have about 20 minutes left on it from listening the past couple days while driving/running.

I enjoy it. All three of you are articulate and well spoken and your voices are not annoying.

All of the anecdotes have been fun to listen to as well, most hitting fairly close to him in my experiences (I'm 28).

I will definitely check out the next one, I hope you continue with NES/SNES titles though...don't veer into the 'SEGA' side of things. I didn't go down that road.

One thing though...DROP THE BREAK MUSIC. That was way too long. Put 5 seconds and go...that break between section 3 and 4 was way too long.

Thanks for the feedback, will shorted the breaks a bit. Just want to showcase the music of the games as we discuss them.

The Dutch Slayer · (06-13-2013, 12:53 PM)

Awesome will listen to it soon.

Are you taking guest? for the future?

Yes, it is why I want people who are interested to subscribe to the thread. If we post that the next episode is about a game you LOVE reply in the thread and I can PM you the details.

I will make sure the OP always has the next episodes game in it. Since I got no messages about Journey to Silius the same cast will be doing Duck Tales.

Thanks for the quick reaction, I will sub and keep my eye out for future eps.
Great chose for a first ep, a game that everyone can agree on and has a great story about.

Followed you on twitter right away also :)
We will pm about stuff soon.

If you want to showcase the music maybe do a medley?

This is such a fab idea. Subbed.

I'm downloading, looking forward to checking it out. I love retro-focused podcasts.

XxSlasherMcGirkxX · (06-16-2013, 12:21 AM)

Okay finally got around to listening to some of it. It's pretty good. Coach Kevin your voice just sounds like a pod cast voice. I will definitely keep up with this topic.
