It’s a packed news week on Remap Radio, between Epic Games deciding to go all-in on AI, Double Fine’s unionization efforts falling apart, and a completely botched effort to re-release Total War: Shogun 2. It’s equally packed on the games front, with Patrick having spent time with the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and rolling credits on Control Resonant. Janet, fresh back from Japan, can finally talk about Slay the Spire, while both Patrick and Chia are digging into Penguin Colony, the latest game from the developers of Umurangi Generation.Links: Inside the Failed Fight to Unionize Double Fine, Epic Launcher Announcement, Shogun 2 AI UpscalingDiscussed:9:01 - The Work to Unionize Double Fine45:54 - Epic Games Drops "Vibe Coded" Launcher1:24:01 - 999 Developer newest game cancelled1:32:00 - nVidia stops 5090 Production1:34:35 - Slay the Spire1:46:08 - Control Resonant2:05:51 - Penguin Colony2:29:42 - Star Wars: Galactic Racer2:41:45 - Silver Pines2:42:29 - Hellraiser Revival2:44:01 - Switch Sports Resort2:44:24 - Ocarina of Time Remake3:08:13 - The Question Bucket   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
