In this episode of the podcast, hosts Kiley Wilde and Pete Beckettare joined by Daniel Lindholm @dropkickmonk3y, a Swedish musical composer who has also done work on arrangements for various different games including Resident Evil 6, Yakuza Dead Souls, Lollipop Chainsaw and Street Fighter 5, starting on Season 2.

We discuss his body of work, including his early days, the big break into Triple A music composition, and how he managed to get the “gig” with the Street Fighter team. We delve deep into the various different character themes for Street Fighter 5 and influences for creating the music. We also asked how a composer comes up with ideas for characters, and what source material they had for each character.

We then speak about the recent articles that were doing the rounds, such as Connor Makar’s article from VG247 https://www.vg247.com/fei-long-street-fighter-not-coming-back as well as briefly touching on Nintendo Life’s article https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/bruce-lees-family-responds-to-suggestion-that-fei-long-wont-appear-in-future-street-fighters. We ask how it all started in his own words, and let him explain the timeline of events in his words.

For full disclosure, we did reach out to Connor Makar at VG247 for further comment but we heard nothing back before the publishing of this episode.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

Please follow Daniel on Twitter @dropkickmonk3y as well as his Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/DanielLindholm2BStudio

The news of the finalisation of the deal was handled by a roundtable discussion between Microsoft and heads of Bethesda studios, like Tango, Machine Games, Bethesda Game Studios and ID.

We discuss what the future holds for Bethesda published games, how each company may run assistance on other projects, like Halo Infinite or Perfect Dark for example, the recent announcement of 20 Bethesda games being launched on Game Pass and why more weren't added.

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by regular guest Brent (@apophis1989 on Twitter) as hosts Kiley and Pete discuss accessibility options in video games.

Brent has visual impairment (as detailed in full on the episode) and helps to run the hosts through how it has impacted his day to day life, as well as how video games were used to make improvements to his eye sight.

We ask many questions, ranging from the various console generations and specific platforms and games that have great examples of accessibility options and some that are very unfortunately lacking in these options.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

In this, the first episode of 2021, Kiley and Pete, joined by a previous guest Nana Marfo @Nana__Marfo to discuss the annual award show, The Game Awards, which happened in December 2020.

We run through almost everything that the award show had to offer, from the announcements shown, the format of the show, the viewing figures it generated and of course, the winners and losers of the show itself. Do we feel the best game won the ultimate prize on the night? How did we react to the guest presenters?

We hope you enjoy this episode.

In this extra-long episode of the podcast, Kiley and Pete decide to discuss the leaks of Capcom, which have been ongoing and evolving over the last 3 to 4 weeks, and go over nearly everything that was apparently revealed, in regards to their release schedule between now and the end of 2024. There are revivals of classic series, potentially lots of Resident Evil and Monster Hunter games, and a fair few unexpected surprises. But are they true? We discuss them at length and decide how much of this is believable.

Pete has a new microphone so the audio will sound different to normal.

In this episode of the podcast, Kiley and Pete discuss what was a very crazy, bonkers week for the news, based on the launches of the Xbox Series consoles and PS5 in the US, and the various issues that people have encountered when in terms of hardware errors. Plus the unusual news stories:

WARNING, EXPLICIT CONTENT

In this episode, we have some things happening. We are joined by all the co-hosts of the @CaffeinatedBC podcast @Resobaso @Colddeath and @Lady_Sugarcube who have invaded our airwaves, and as a result, we did a very different show. Those familiar with the Caffeinated Bantercast will get the format. Those unfamiliar with the format, we shoot the breeze for about 2 hours, discuss some news stories and go on some pretty crazy tangents (I guess it isn't too dissimilar from a regular show)

The news stories covered in this episode:

SEGA go a bit bonkers celebrating 60 years https://twitter.com/SEGAForever/status/1316436361247850498

EXPLICIT CONTENT, LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED

Apologises about the sound quality, it was recorded live.

In this celebratory episode, to commemorate 50 episodes of the podcast, and 2 years of Rapid Reviews UK's inception, we decided to do a massive episode that was streamed live on Twitch.tv/RRRadioPod. In the episode, we had a tonne of guests come on and discuss various different topics:

Section 1 - Intro and discuss with Rapid Reviews UK writers @Squashpickle @aliciabrunskill and the overlord himself Mike @rapidreviewsuk to discuss the site, and the process of reviewing games. After we were joined by Gareth Williams @shakacarnage to discuss Safe In Our World, the mental health charity that we partnered with, to discuss how the project got started, plans for the future, and the importance of good mental health.

In section 2, we start inviting on previous guests to help us discuss the news stories from the last couple of weeks, including:

Steve and Alex announced as DLC fighters for Smash Bros Ultimate with @Doctor__Virtual and @lewis_d_white

Xbox Series X first impressions after prototype units were sent out to review outlets and Youtubers with @lewis_d_white and @nana_marfo

Insomniac changes the facial capture artist for Spider-Man Remastered on PS5, with @darylbaxter and @fraseresports

Bloomberg article by Scheier details crunch at CD Projekt Red surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 with @sophnar0747

We finished up with a Q and A, where we took questions from the chat and had @nana_marfo, lewis_d_white and sophnar0747 join us for it.

This is a long one so we hope you enjoy it.

In this bonus episode of the podcast, Pete is joined by @Squashpickle fellow Rapid Reviews UK writer, to discuss the recent all digital convention EGX & PAX 2020.

After the pandemic struck, EGX and PAX, including PAX Australia, joined forces to put on a 9 day all digital event, that had lots of talks, panels, tournaments et all, with all events taking place at different times throughout the day (and night for us Brits)

We sat down together and discussed our general impressions of the show itself, from the handling of press entries, the discord, and the event itself. Did it live up to the same high level of excellence that EGX and PAX are known for?

In this very special episode, a Roundtable Discussion, we discuss the recent Playstation 5: The Future of Games Showcase, that was streamed on 11th June 2020.

This time round, we are joined by 3 incredible panelists: Jennifer @Lady_Sugarcube co-host of the Caffeinated Bantercast Podcast, Daryl @DarylBaxter host of the PAL KEYS podcast and James Fraser-Murison @FraserEsports a teacher championing eSports within sixth form (college) education, as we run through all the game announcements from the stream, the highs, the lows and the downright unsual games that were shown to be coming to the Playstation 5.

We also have a small competition to see who could get the most predictions right, as the entire panel (except Jennifer) took part and wrote/recorded the predictions before the event.

Lastly, we discuss the actual console reveal, how we think it looks, the accessories and speculation about the price.

Moderated by Kiley Wilde Additional panelist: Pete Beckett
