When is a remake not a remake? When it’s a jar

Back once again to prove that I will literally never get tired of an “-er? I hardly know her!” joke, it’s episode five of series two of theElectronic Wireless Showpodcast. This week we return to a subject we’ve touched on before, but in more detail. With EA asking if people would like remakes ofDead Spaces2 and 3, andThe Outer Worldsgetting a remastered Spacer’s Choice Edition, we’re having a big old thinkeroo about remakes and remasters - including which games we’d most like to see remade.

We’ve also got a bit of a Henry Cavill update, and Nate forces James and I to battle in a terrible BeastsxAncient Rome arena. We’ve also got updates on what we’ve been playing this week (spoilers: video games).

You can listen above, or onon Spotify,iTunes,Stitcher, orPocket Casts. You can find theRSS feed here, and you can discuss the episodeon our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat.
