This week we learned that Microsoft is rumored to be offering a streaming only console alongside the standard Xbox when Project Scarlett arrives next generation. Do we think a streaming console will be successful, and how many of us would buy it? On top of that, what should the price be for a streaming only box? Also, Microsoft is doing something amazing with the shipping packaging for people who order the adaptive controller, and we discuss this as part of Microsoft's commitment to inclusion in gaming. Fallout 76 is coming in November, and we learned this week that the beta will go live in October. Is that too close to the release date for any major changes to be made? We talk about what Bethesda's goals might be for a beta only a month or so prior to launch. Also, for anyone that loved Fallout: New Vegas, we have some bad news for you. Video games could be part of the Olympics as soon as 2024 - should they be included, and which games would be the central focus of Olympic competition? On top of that, we detail the new releases for the upcoming week and answer fan questions in our fan mail segment, before announcing the winner of our July giveaway.

Microsoft has teased a new hardware announcement for Gamescom next month, and we discuss what we think it could be. If it is actually a new elite controller, will we be getting it? Also, Battlefield V and Call of Duty announced their beta dates - we talk about which we'll be playing, and if the direction that Battlefield seems to be headed is something we all want. In other news, Microsoft announced that they will not accept any more delays for Crackdown 3 - does this make us concerned about the state of the game? Finally, Remedy would love to make another Alan Wake game, but needs Microsoft's go-ahead first. Are we hyped for a potential Alan Wake sequel? As always, we answer fan questions and detail the new releases of the week for all consoles. To have a chance at our monthly giveaway, join the community by using any of the links below!

This week, the Gaming Hub team is joined by Scott Drader, co-founder of Metalhead Software, to talk about Super Mega Baseball 2 and game development in general. We discuss the Super Mega Baseball series and why we love it, as well as get Scott's insight to why certain decisions were made about the game. Additionally, he talks about what it's like to be an independent game developer and they challenges he and his team face when developing a game. Nintendo recently announced in their shareholder's call that they wanted to release 20-30 indie games per week on the Nintendo Switch. Do we think this is a good idea, and will it turn into a case of quantity over quality? We discuss the possibility of some great games getting lost in the shuffle because of the sheet amount of titles being released every week on the system. Finally, we detail the new releases for the upcoming week for each of the major consoles, and answer fan mail questions. What are our thoughts on SCUF controllers? Which games have the best soundtracks? We answer these questions, and many more!

This week, we take a little different approach to the show for one week only. With there not being a whole lot in the way of meaningful news items in the world of console gaming, we instead focus on the community events we have planned over the next few months. From announcements of tournaments to community plays, we detail everything we have planned from July into early 2019! We also talk the new releases about to hit stores in the coming week, as well as what you can play for free with Games With Gold or PS+. Finally, we answer listener questions in our fan mail segment.

This week, we dive into Sony's response to the cross-play controversy as we discuss the statement put forth by PlayStation regarding it. Are they serious about looking at a way to bring cross-play to the PlayStation, or are they just buying time? We also discuss whether we really care about cross-play on consoles, and if cross-play is really something companies should feel obligated to provide. Compared to locking the Epic account for PS4 Fortnite players, is cross-play really that big of a deal? Halo is officially getting a series on Showtime, as the long rumored show was confirmed with production beginning early next year. How many of us are excited for it? Also, Amy Hennig left Electronic Arts months ago and the Cyberpunk 2077 demo shown behind closed doors at E3 was pre-alpha - does it change our thoughts on when the game will be released? We detail all of the new releases for the coming week, as well as the new Games With Gold and PS+ titles for July 2018. Finally, we try to get caught up with fan mail questions and conduct our June 2018 giveaway.

E3 just ended, so there's very little news in the gaming world. Therefore, on the heels of the Gamestop news this week, we talk about the future of console gaming. Are digital downloads and subscription services the way of the future? Will physical copies and disc drives in consoles ever really go away? Finally, we discuss whether a company like Gamestop can truly survive and thrive as the landscape of console gaming changes. In addition, we briefly talk about the announcement of NHL 19 at the NHL Awards show this past week, and we announce community tournaments and community play events that will be taking place starting in late July. To close out discussion, we talk about whether we really want to see and hear about games repeatedly when they are years and years away from launch. Finally, we detail the biggest releases for the coming week and answer fan questions in our fan mail segment.

E3 2018 is over, and we're here to sum up what we saw this week and give you all of our top moments. We give you the 15 games and moments that got us most excited during the biggest video game show of the year this year. Did any huge announcements or games not make the list? Spoiler alert: the answer is yes! In addition, we talk about Sony's decision to lock the Fortnite accounts for PS4 players to their console, not allowing player progression to travel between systems. Was this a good move by Sony, or could it backfire on them with their loyal fan base? Finally, we discuss Microsoft stating that they are deep into development on the next Xbox console, and the rumors that the next generation of consoles will arrive in 2020. Is that the right time to introduce a new generation, and how many games that we saw at E3 this year will be next gen games? Finally, we do our final giveaway for E3 2018 and answer fan questions in our fan mail segment.
