Anyway, enjoy Ash and Beau's thoughts on the first installment of Capcom's Dino Crisis series which we recorded Halloween night, and expect a review of the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on the Halloween Edition of the Bonus Round! very soon.

SHOWNOTES: We are launching Season Six with a redux episode for the first time on the show! With the release of its sequel coming very soon, we decided it was a perfect time to revisit Marvel's Spider-Man from Insomniac Games. Originally released in 2018 on the PS4, this title made its mark as the definitive Spider-Man video game, and impressed the hell out of us when Collateral Gaming first covered in our Season One finale. Five years later, the game has received numerous accolades, spawned both a spin-off and remaster on PS5 and PC, and captured the hearts of many gamers and comic book fans as one of the greatest superhero games ever made, but what our thoughts on it now? Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Season Premiere, where we'll be discussing spin-off sequel Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales once more on the podcast, followed by our spooky content this October, and finally, a two-part feature on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in November. Welcome to Season Six of Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast!

SPECIAL GUEST: Ian Wilson
SHOWNOTES: For the first time in a decade, developer FromSoftware has released a new entry in their flagship third-person shooter mecha series, but does Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon live up to the hype? First-time guest Ian Wilson joins Ashley to give our spoiler-free impressions of the game. Fresh off the heels of 2022 Game of the Year Elden Ring, FromSoft attempts to modernize mech video games, peppering Soulslike elements as a garnish while remaining true to the series formula. We discuss how well it manages to do so, as well as aspects such as mecha customization, PVP, and the narrative. If you enjoyed this episode, stay tuned for the premiere of Season Six of Collateral Gaming this month!

Featured Game Series: The Legend of Zelda
PROMO: Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (@CCinemaPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: Ash and Zach are back on the Bonus Round! with Zelda still on the brain. With the release of a new title behind us, we thought it was a perfect time for a timeline discussion on The Legend of Zelda! A full unedited rant on franchise lore from the beginning, why Nintendo's official timeline matters, the existence of a running timeline throughout the development of every game, and the current state of the timeline with the addition of Tears of the Kingdom. Stay tuned for more post-season content until September!

Featured Game Reviews:
PROMO: Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast (@CCinemaPodcast)
SHOWNOTES: Welcome back, gamers! Possibly a little late, but we have a double feature Game Launch episode for the first time on Collateral Gaming, as Ash reviews two titles in the last month, free of spoilers for anyone that hasn't had a chance to pick them up yet: Final Fantasy XVI and the remaster of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective! The sixteenth mainline entry of Square Enix's acclaimed fantasy RPG series (a timed exclusive on the PS5) has polarized fans of the franchise, as the self-proclaimed first "full-fledged" real-time action RPG of the core Final Fantasy games. Fans of traditional turn-based FF titles have been apprehensive of this direction to say the least, and yet the series' newest video game has been generating buzz for its fluid, Devil May Cry-esque combat and Game of Thrones-inspired dark medieval plot. On the other hand, Ghost Trick from the mind of Ace Attorney series creator Shu Takumi was a well-reviewed but oft-overlooked hidden gem from the end of the Nintendo DS lifespan. Now remastered and ported to modern consoles, how well are the fun mechanics, intricate story, and endearing characters of Capcom's 2010 puzzle adventure title translated for a broader audience? If you enjoyed this double review, let us know on social media or your platform of choice, and stay tuned for more post-season content before our two-part Season Six Premiere in September on Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales from Insomniac Games!

SHOWNOTES: It's been close to two months since the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and we're finally back to wrap up Season Five of Collateral Gaming with our full thoughts on the game, spoilers and all! Recency bias and hype behind us, is this truly the greatest video game of all time? Do we have the perfect Zelda title, or are there any issues lurking beneath the surface? Is Tears as an open world experience filled with wonder through hundreds of hours of gameplay, and how different of an experience does it offer over its predecessor on the road to 100% completion? We hope you enjoy the conclusion of our journeys through the latest iteration of Hyrule, as well as this season of Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast! Until the next Season Premiere in September, check out our post-season content, and we'll see you in Season Six!

SPECIAL GUEST: Dan Rockwood, Victims and Villains (@VctmsAndVillans)
SHOWNOTES: Our most highly anticipated video game of the year is finally here. This is the moment we've been waiting for all season, and we are so fucking stoked that it's arrived. In Part 1 of our Season Five Finale, Ash, Zach, and Dan from Victims and Villains are beyond excited to present our spoiler-free first impressions of the latest entry of the Legend of Zelda series: Tears of the Kingdom! The direct sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild—considered by many one of the greatest video games of all time—this action-adventure title from Nintendo is already receiving universal acclaim for its improvements on the open world formula established by its predecessor, as well as the creativity encouraged by its world and level design. Even prior to its release, it was hard to imagine the newest Zelda WON'T be Game of the Year, and Collateral Gaming is ready to present its case on the matter. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this Season Finale, where we'll be giving our full, spoiler-filled thoughts on Tears!
