It’s a show! It’s a podcast! It’s a conversation baby, and it’s all about the video games! It’s all made possible by our wonderful community, and the DayOne Show Episode 324 is live and on demand for your earholes and eyeholes in glorious 4K!
To kick things off this week, we’re pleased to see Nick return from his month long holiday in Greece, and we spend a little time discussing his adventures in Europe, and his new-found appreciation for how hot it can get over here.
Before long, we of course turn our eyes on video games, and the star of the show this week is absolutely Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is available now if you fancy forking out for the fancy premium edition which comes with 5 days Early Access.
We talk a lot about Halo, and delve into topics linked to remakes, reviews and for some reason, a brief but amusing tangent on Christopher Nolan movies.
This week saw Microsoft jangle those keys once again, as they announced Xbox Backwards Compatibility for PC. Right now, it’s just four games – BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy with more planned as the program matured.
Then, to make folks mad again, Xbox went and announced an ad-supported tier for Xbox Game Pass. The long-rumored free tier is now available for testing with Xbox insiders. Each session begins with an advertisement of undetermined length, with each ad giving you one hour of playtime, similar to the limit on the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition. Is it a slippery slope or not a big deal? You decide!
On the Sony side of things, the silence following their announcement ending physical discs for PlayStation games, Circana’s Matt Piscatella took to social media to provide some data, got attacked for it, so supplied even more data. Suffice to say, it looks like the numbers just don’t make sense for Sony.
On the plus side, we’ve got a new story trailer for Wolverine, and a release date for God of War Laufey. And don’t worry, if you were pining for more Kratos, Cory Balrog has said the next God of War title will focus on Kratos again.
With plenty of good humour and fun, we also dive into all the questions from the community, so sit back and enjoy The DayOne Show Episode 324!

All this and more!

As we get to the halfway point of July, we're all dealing with the fallout of the Xbox cuts, and of course, there's plenty of videogames we've played and reviewed. All this and more in the DayOne Show Episode 323!
As always, we kick off the show talking through all the games we've been playing, and as you'll see, we've been playing a LOT of games. We've got reviews from Jesse for Denshattack! which channels the Dreamcast era with ease and has been received very positively across the world as it releases on all platforms and Game Pass. If you were a fan of The Alters, we've also got a review for the new DLC - The Last Variable, which is really good.
But that's not all! Our review for D-Topia is now available, a cute, narrative puzzler from Annapurna. It’s got some surprisingly dark themes, but it’s also sadly, a little dull. Next up, we’ve got Kaz, a blisteringly fast arcade roguelike where you use your cursor keys to play a digital whack-a-mole of sorts. It’s cute, has a banging soundtrack, and is well worth picking up on PC. We've also got a review in progress for co-op cosmic horror extraction game The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu and if you're after a great twin-stick shooter, you should absolutely check out Pathogenic, a woefully overlooked twin-stick shooter where you play a disease and upgrade your self on a cellular level as you make your way through the human body to kill your host.
Beyond that we dig into all the news of the week, which mostly deals with the fallout of Microsoft's savage Xbox cuts. Following tons of reports, leaks and rumors, Bethesda have just come out and admitted what's going on and shares a huge update on what's next for franchises like The Elder Scrolls, Starfield and Fallout.
The latter game series gets the spotlight, with confirmed remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, along with the confirmation that Obsidian Entertainment once again return to the wasteland as they officially begin work on a new project in the Fallout universe.
Beyond that we talk about id Software, the confirmed new direction for Xbox as they return to exclusivity and of course answer your community questions in the DayOne Show Episode 323!
