Welcome to Hype from Outer Heaven!
A monthly nostalgia podcast hosted by four, thirty-something, Birmingham-based nerds: Kyle, Brandon, Caleb & Prince; discussing the historic goings-on from the world of video games as well as doing deep-dives on classic movies; all whilst simultaneously pining for the nostalgic days of old.
As of August 2024 we are on an indefinite hiatus, however we would like to thank all of our listeners who have supported us over the last 2 years; we hope you come back to enjoy these episodes for years to come!
Stay Frosty!
On this episode of Hype from Outer Heaven, join Kyle, Brandon, Caleb and Prince as they discuss long-dormant franchises that are in desperate need of a reboot. Franchises like Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Legacy of Kain, SOCOM: US Navy Seals etc. are just a few examples of once prolific franchises that have been left at the side of the road. Is it due to a lack of interest? or has the very nature of gaming changed, with investors and publishers not giving long-dead franchises the time of day based on the fact that they would be a financial gamble? If so, they usually end up in development purgatory and eventually cancelled (such is the case of Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun) or doomed to the realm of mediocrity with a chewed up and spat out mobile game that has all the depth and charisma of a jellied eel. From Prince’s love for Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia, to Kyle’s somewhat overlong fanboying for the Legacy of Kain franchise and calls for it’s return, and Caleb’s worry of the return of Duke Nukem in the current political climate, the lads engage in a debate about their forgotten franchises they would like to see return, whilst coming to terms that they’ll all be nearly forty or over by the time The Elder Scrolls VI releases.
Stay Frosty!
