*editors note - Argus is in no way affiliated or sponsored by Bestbuy even though wild mentions them dozens of times in the podcast....BAHAHAHAHAHA!
The final Argus Array podcast of August 2006...
Part 1 - 00:00 to 27:00
Primarilly talking about the removal of some content of the game (historic battles) and then moving on to the whole "downloadable content" subject. Part 1 then moves on to the lack of press in game stores around the world and then moves on to the subjects of extra "goodies" that could be in the box package and finally moving on to the way CBS could be promoting Legacy, TA and Encounters.
Break - CUGS.org promotional advert on the services they offer the gaming community
Part 2 - 30:10 to 51:30
Back to the subject of the way CBS can promote Legacy in documentaries for the ST 40th anniversary. We then go on to talk about the overall budget for Legacy and discussing the former Activision title that Legacy may have been based on. Later on discussing that Legacy is testing the waters of the crumbling Star Trek Gaming franchise.
Finally moving onto the subject of modding for Legacy.
Break - Info on how to submit news and adverts to The Argus Array
Part 3 - 52:45 to 1:17:40
Talking about Tactical Assault and the difference between the DS and PSP, also talking about the sales of the console games versus the PC based games.
We then go on to talk about the release of the modding tools...or lack of release since the cuts to the game itself and finally moving on to the general subject of modding for Star Trek Legacy in general.
Finally we finish off by giving our listners a tatse of whats to come in future episodes of The Argus Array.
As always i would like to thank Kinneas, AcidRain and WildCard (wildcard is in no way affiliated with bestbuy, and neither is this podcast *cough*) and as alwya if you do have any submissions send them into the usual address of
victor@startrek-gamers.comThe format of the podcast has changed in a couple of ways as well, for a start we...ok...I decided to shift the podcast to a freeflow discussion system like the PC Gamer podcast just to see how it would work, I think it worked well. Also, to lessen the bandwidth strain the encode of the major release has been dropped to 32kbps however the 64kbps version is still available.
Ohhh...and the Derek Chester Interview broke the TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND download mark a couple of days ago!
