Remap Radio – Pivot to AI
The great fear is that AI will replace tons of jobs, including journalists, which makes the decisions by many media companies recently so puzzling. Plus, games!

The first year anniversary of Remap is almost here, and Patrick, Rob, and Cado are suddenly feeling imposter syndrome all over again! We’re joking. Mostly.
Join the developers of Citizen Sleeper, Times & Galaxy, and Slay the Princess as they provide insight into the process of writing and player choice.
We open in a familiar place, with Rob, Patrick, Cado, and Janet talking about the ongoing tumult in video games media. Plus, Hellblade 2 and more.
Patrick sits down to chat with Jordi de Paco of Deconstructeam (Gods Will Be Watching) about his path through the games industry.
Patrick, Cado, Rob, and Janet break down the week’s news, alongside in-depth discussions of Animal Well, finally finishing Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, the surprising response to Homeworld 3, and more.
Remap’s samurai spring continues, as My Turn moves from the world of Godzilla to FX’s ambitious (and very good) historical drama, Shogun.
Rob and Xalavier discuss the difficulties of writing stories for games, how narrative can be transformed by mechanics, and the art of writing NPC barks.
The biggest news of the week, obviously, is Sony’s fight to add PSN to Helldi…no, wait, it’s actually Nintendo confirming the next Swi…huh, no, it’s Microsoft?
Patrick journeyed into his own backyard to pay a visit to the Chicago-based Stern Pinball, creators of the upcoming John Wick pinball game.
What to make of Square canceling $140.8 million of in-development games? How exactly is (or isn’t) Microsoft going to capitalize on Fallout-mania?
We start by digging into the shockingly hopeful news that the FTC has declared non-competes illegal, before trying to make sense of Embracer splitting itself.
We thought we were done thinking about nuclear energy, but apparently not! Starting with Godzilla Minus One, we journeyed towards Shin Godzilla, and now, My Turn examines Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
It’s time to pour one out for our friend and colleague Austin Walker, whose own game studio joined the ongoing wave of layoffs. We unpack the strangeness of this layoff and why people responded so sharply to it.
