I think we need dramatic readings for every comment from now on...
Welcome to another jam-packed edition of Nerds Without Pants! This week, we’re joined by Friend of the Show John Gholson to talk about remaking some of our favorite games. We have a lengthy Consumption Junction segment, and finish things off with the most bombastic Video Game Cage Match so far!
Kolbe Launchbaugh leaves SCEA San Diego for Tiburon.
Longtime developer of the famous Madden NFL franchise, Tiburon has seen quite the turnover this year. Earlier this spring some top level talent left the studio and were replaced by Cam Weber as GM of football products, Roy Harvey as executive producer, and internally elevated Mike Young in the role of creative director. The team is still patching holes and is now adding some significant talent, as Kolbe Launchbaugh has announced via Twitter that he is leaving SCEA San Diego to become creative director on Madden NFL.
The annual Baseball game will also be released on the PlayStation Vita.
According to the PlayStation Blog, MLB 12: The Show will be released on both PS3 and Vita on March 6, 2012. For the first time ever, the series won't be on PlayStation 2, and there appears to be no PSP release, either. The cover athlete this year is Boston Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
