The DayOne Show | A Video Games Podcast

Episode 307 | Xbox Partner Preview Breakdown


Listen Later

When it comes time to write these shows up every Sunday, I feel like it's a miracle when it's been a quiet week - but not this time! Once again, the games industry is moving fast! We've got the Xbox Partner Preview, a more expensive PlayStation and a brand new Starfox game to discuss! All this and more in the DayOne Show, Episode 307!

As always, we kick off the show talking video games, and Screamer kicked things off to start the week with a surprisingly refreshing take on an arcade racer - though not all of the panel agreed the direction Milestone took was the right one.
Elsewhere, the team checked out Absolum, a gorgeous side-scroller roguellite beat'em up from Dotemu, along with Easy Delivery Co a short, quirky adventure with PS1 style graphics. Both are available on now on Xbox Game Pass.
We've also been playing lots of games we can't quite talk about yet, but we can assure you there are a fair number of reviews dropping this coming week for lots of video games.
One we can talk about is Ghost of Yotei, which Jesse's been playing on his brand new PlayStation 5 Pro because he makes reckless financial decisions...or does he?

As it turns out, perhaps now was the time to pick one up, as Sony announced another price increase for the family of PlayStation 5 devices - including the Pro and Portal - and they shut down another studio too.
Following a surprise Minecraft Dungeons 2 announcement on last week, Xbox have had their Partner Preview, and wowed us with 19 games, 14 of which are going to be day one on Xbox Game Pass - the list includes some serious heavy hitters, from RGG Studio's new IP, 'Stranger Than Heaven', Owlcat's 'The Expanse: Osiris Reborn' and Xbox releases for things like Hades 2 and Dispatch.
Epic Games made headlines this week when they laid off over a thousand employees, due to what they called a 'declining' Fortnite player base and Nintendo not only reportedly cut back on Switch 2 production, but also raised physical prices in the US to match the rest of the world. Don't worry, no-one will stay mad for long - they're reportedly making a new Starfox game and a Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.

All this and more of course, in The DayOne Show Episode 307!
