Orange Lounge Radio

Sony's State of Play event this week gave us updates on Playstation 4 titles for this year, as well as upcoming Playstation VR games. Although we were warned nothing major for PS5 was coming, people on social media still craved more. At least there was some Godfall footage! How did we as the hosts feel about the event, and what did our live participants think? We find out what people are thinking about not just Sony this holiday, but Microsoft, Nintendo, Intellevision, and much more!

Halo Infinite confirms this week that it's online multiplayer will be free, no longer requiring Microsoft Gold. This will be great if the rumored Battle Royale mode turns out to be true. However in a topic that's come up many times on this program, is this a sign of the end of paying for multiplayer online with consoles? Also, the makers of Halo have responded to recent criticisms of what was shown at the Xbox Game Event. Is this sort of social media feedback a good thing for our industry, or harmful? We discuss all this and more!

This week we had some exciting new game announcements from Microsoft as they showed off what's coming soon from Microsoft Studios and related partners. However, was this an ad to help sell Xbox Series X, or an ad for Microsoft Game Pass? We discuss this, and also tackle the question of what next gen gaming really is anymore. As games have almost hit the limit of what can be done graphically, what really marks a shift in a gaming generation? We tackle this big question and many more on this weeks show!

We had some big announcements from Devolver Digital and Ubisoft this week. Devolver went a very clever route with an interactive "E3" style first person adventure, which some of our hosts have explored and share their thoughts on this unique press conference. While Ubisoft introduced new titles in staple franchises, some serious issues have come to light causing high level executives to exit the company. We discuss this and more in gaming news on this weeks Orange Lounge Radio.

Something we've been asking to come back to the E3 time of year appears like it might actually be happening again, with Xbox set to unveil many demos as part of Summer Game Fest later this month. This leads into a discussion on bandwith concerns with so many demos, and could cloud gaming be a great help with this, or not help the situation at all? We discuss all this and much more in a busy news week on another week of the show where every gamer has a voice.

We celebrate 18 years on the air, as our show is now officially an age where we can vote! Okay, obviously our show can't vote but we can still educate on what's happening in the gaming industry, and on issues effecting the gaming industry such as the many allegations of sexual misconduct brought up in the industry this week. What can we as gamers, and large websites/companies do to help this issue? We discuss some ideas. We also take on the big news about Microsoft closing down Mixer, it's entry in the live streaming space, and announcing it's partners can team up with a quite dreadful streaming solution, leaving most to head for Twitch instead.
