Glixel Podcast

Our weekly podcast with John Davison, Simon Cox, Rachel Weber and Miguel Lopez. On this episode they talk Watch Dogs 2 (including the NSFW anatomical detail on some of the NPCs), our 50 Most Iconic Video Game Characters of the 21st Century, the 15th anniversary of the Xbox and Gamecube and Halo memories. Oh, and a little game called Genital Jousting.

Dishonored 2, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the NES Classic and whether we can actually spot a 4K game on PS4 Pro without anyone actually telling us it's doing anything different first. We also talk about the awesome indie games that were on show at the Day of the Devs event last weekend in San Francisco, including Moblets, Gang Beasts, Spy Party, and the unforgettable Sausage Sports Club.

This week John Davison, Simon Cox and Rachel Weber are joined by Cy Wise from virtual reality game developer Owlchemy Labs (Job Simulator, Rick & Morty Simulator) to chat about some of the weird stuff designers have to think about when making VR games. How do you stop people falling over? Why is elbow tracking important? Plus, we ponder the really important questions like - what do you call someone that's actually in VR? Are they a player? A user? A participant? A VRgonaut?

Also: We enthuse about Titanfall 2 (again) and needlessly grumble about Sony's shoddy PlayStation Pro packaging.

John Davison, Simon Cox, Rachel Weber and Miguel Lopez take on the big gaming questions of the day. Can we fall in love all over again with Skyrim: Special Edition? What's the deal with Bethesda and reviews? Is Titanfall 2 a contender for game of the year? Does Switch have a touchscreen? Perhaps most importantly, what's with Simon and staring at stones?

John Davison, Simon Cox, Rachel Weber and Miguel Lopez discuss Nintendo's big reveal this week. Who's it for? Can it deliver on what the Wii U couldn't? Does it have a shot at success when it's competing with not just the PS4 and Xbox, but also phones and tablets? We also talk about the trees and trains of Red Dead Redemption 2.
