  • TOGP #63: "That One Game: Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando" ft. Jazzy
    2024/11/12

    Lock and load because this week Jazzy from the TOGP Discord joins us on an adventure to save the galaxy in the second entry of a beloved Playstation franchise, That One Game: Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. Released for the Playstation 2 on November 11, 2003, Going Commando sought to improve upon the first game in the series in every way imaginable and largely succeeded at that. The game received universal acclaim across the board and was praised for its graphics, sound design and humor, alongside a plethora of gameplay improvements.

    The game stars the titular Ratchet and Clank as they have accepted a mission to retrieve a biological experiment stolen by a masked thief. However during the process they soon discover all is not as it seems and quickly find themselves attempting to stop a mass outbreak of dangerous creatures.

  • TOGP #61: "Indie vs AA vs AAA Games"
    2024/10/15

    This week we’re looking broadly at indie, AA, and AAA games and doing a bit of a compare and contrast, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each one, where our preferences tend to lie, and more!

    Indie games, typically defined by their smaller independent development teams and lower budgets, have seen a significant boost in popularity over the last decade by providing smaller, often more unique experiences compared to their AA or AAA counterparts.

    AA games typically fall a bit short of AAA in scope and scale, as well as budget, and have seemingly nearly gone away over the last decade as large publishers put all their eggs into their big budget AAA offerings. However, with recent shifts in the industry post-pandemic, these types of games are starting to work their way back as publishers realize AAA development is getting too costly to be sustained.

    And AAA games are the big blockbuster experiences with massive budgets and development teams and frequently push the boundaries of technology available while playing it safe from an overall game design standard.

  • TOGP #59: "That One Game: Phantasy Star Online"
    2024/09/17

    This week we’re diving into the first ever massively-multiplayer online game made specifically for consoles - That One Game: Phantasy Star Online! Originally released near the tail end of the year 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast, PSO took advantage of the Dreamcast’s online functionality to allow up to four players to team up and take on a variety of missions together. The game’s story tasks players with investigating the catastrophe that befell Pioneer 1, the previous expedition sent to the planet Ragol with hopes of colonization. Throughout the story the player would discover notes left behind by a character by the name of Red Ring Rico, a Pioneer 2 resident that seemingly vanished upon reaching Ragol’s surface. Through these notes something sinister is discovered regarding the true nature of the planet and Pioneer 1’s misfortune. Players were also able to create their own characters from one 12 different different classes, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. Upon release PSO was met with critical acclaim. It would later see ports to Xbox, Gamecube, as well as PC, and even today, years after its official servers went offline, there remains a strong fan community keeping the game alive via the Ephinea private servers.

  • TOGP #58: "Genre Talk: Edutainment Games"
    2024/09/03

    This episode is all about Edutainment games, or games with an educational twist! Mostly computer games, but sometimes making their ways to console, these games sought to present educational topics in a fun way in an effort to alleviate the stigma often felt by parents toward video games being a waste of time for their kids. Their educational nature also made them popular among schools looking to introduce new, creative ways to teach. We’ll be discussing some of our personal favorites from growing up, as well as our thoughts on the genre as a whole!
