Focus on Gaming

One of the most expensive consoles of all time, but an arcade powerhouse, we chat about the 3DO and all its positives and negatives. An early CD console, we delve into why it failed and what its legacy was.

Call of Duty is coming Xbox Cloud Gaming, so you can play the latest and other CoDs without owning an Xbox! Find all our episodes and links at www.FocusOnGaming.co.uk and leave a like and a review!

This weeks episode has us discussing DLC - do you purchase skins, maps, new stories etc? Duncan has completed Shattered Space and the ending was just as meh as the rest of the DLC.

Microsoft are rolling out the ability to stream ALL your games from November. You can only stream with Xbox Cloud Gaming from Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so it will only benefit those that are already in the Xbox ecosystem.....for now?

Nintendo have announced new hardware....yes, finally! Switch 2? No. An alarm clock. A $99 alarm clock. No Switch 2 for you yet!

Play magazine has shut down in the UK, which was the Official Playstation magazine, first released in 1995 with PS1. RIP Play.

This episode, we chat about Meta's holographic Orion glasses, the tech behind them, the applications and games we want to see, the metaverse possibilities and pitfalls, and the fact we'll probably never see them available for you and I! Get a Quest 3S though, that is a fantastic bit at a great price, but not for Quest 2 owners looking to sell....

Starfield's Shattered Space DLC is out and it's getting extremely meh reviews. Duncan is playing through it and it's very purple, that's what's most memorable about it, so not a great sounding add on to an already divisive game.

Crime Scene Cleaner gets a review from Duncan and you too can clean up bodies and viscera in this Power Wash Simulator inspired blood-'n'-guts-em-up! Thumbs up!

A couple of games celebrating anniversaries finishes up another great episode, and find the rest at www.FocusOnGaming.co.uk

Martin and Duncan discuss the PS5 and PS5 Pro Anniversary editions that have sold (out) this week. You too can get a disc add-on COVER, though does include the excellent Dual Sense Edge, and all in the PS1 era grey design, but all for £959.

Martin has been playing the modern classic Hollow Knight, and has started Starfield, just before the first DLC arrives this week, Shattered Space. Duncan has been playing the Alan Wake 2 DLC, Night Springs.

The Meta Quest 3S is being released next week. A slightly lower spec (though same SoC) than the Quest 3, coming in at £290. Will you be getting one?

We then go into the history and massive scale of mobile gaming, coming from the classics of Snake and Doodle Jump, to modern AAA gaming on high end phones of today.

Duncan has let his child loose with the fantastic new The Plucky Squire! He reviews it from the perspective of a family man, and there's plenty to love in this cutesy Zelda-inspired platformer puzzler.

There's been plenty of Switch 2 gossip going around, and possibly photos of parts/moulds. Nintendo are still pretty silent about it though! We discuss price, name, and contours!

PS6 is in development, but after the PS5 Pro, what kind of price could we be looking at, and is this the end of dedicated home consoles? Will Microsoft and Nintendo win with a 'Handheld Generation'? Or will Sony join them and claim another round of dominance?

More Tetris scores, as Tom and Martin vie for the Number 1 spot on the Focus on Gaming leaderboard!

On this day rounds up another episode, including a classic released nearly 40 years ago, and one of the most highly rated games of all time.

So the PS5 Pro has been announced with an eye-watering price (£700/$700), is this the end of consoles being good value? Stand and disc drive extra too! The tech may be worth that much, but is it worth it for the average gamer?

Xbox have laid off a lot of staff again, just as they've been seen eying up AMD's next handheld suitable processor - the Z2 Extreme.

Meta are having their Connect event soon and will be announcing the Quest 3S, and we discuss the specs, the tech, and wearable tech Meta are researching, like the Neurolink wristband .

Some games from history to round off this week's episode. Find all our episodes at www.FocusOnGaming.co.uk

We chat about PS5 Pro that's incoming, Sony look certain to announce it this week! Will you be getting it? What kind of price are you willing to pay? Will you upgrade?

Sony are busy at the moment, with Concord flopping and shutting down, Astrobot coming out to rave reviews, and Black Myth Wukong being exclusive because of a exclusivity contract?

Tetris is a classic, simple and accessible for any age, and it's got a collection edition coming, Tetris Forever. Will you be buying it? NES version and many more, we talk about our favourite Tetris moments.

This was take 2 of this episode as take 1 had no audio 😭 That'll teach me for changing things around....

In today's episode, Duncan talks about the latest Star Wars video game, Star Wars : Outlaws. An open world game from Massive Entertainment, the developers of The Division franchise. He likes it, or does he? I don't think even Martin was sure by the end of his review.

We look through games on this day in history, from The Sims 4, to Rayman, to Starfield.

Did you enjoy Bethesda's space epic? Looking forward to Shattered Space?

We start off with great intentions of talking about building games from gaming history, but once us gaming dads get talking about something, we end up in a totally different place. Demo discs, game stores, box art, Minecraft, parental controls and disgusting people of the world, it's all here for your delectation.
