The Codec Call

In the aftermath of May's Assassin's Creed bonus mayhem we thought June might be quite quiet... we were a little bit wrong.  #Finishers, 100% Completions and new players feature in this months update, as well as what Ali and Matt have been playing instead of clearing their pile of shame.

In this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast you'll hear:

• What the latest changes to the leaderboard are

It's like a finely tuned machine... an F1 game gets released and Matt and Ali jump at the chance to talk in depth about it.  F1 2019 brings a lot of changes with it that are mostly for the better, so what better topic for this week's podcast.  Listen in for what they think, what has changed, and whether they still enjoy the same tracks year in, year out.

In yet another F1 2019 special you'll hear:

• What's new

With Google's announcement of the Stadia coming later this year and how it could (potentially) revolutionise the way we consume games, the Codec Moments team got together to talk about the various services that are already on offer, and what the benefits and drawbacks are of each of the games services.  Is there one that comes out on top?  Are they all just part of a gamers repertoire?  How much does it cost each month to subscribe to all of them.  Matt, Ali and Andy discuss and debate what there is out there.

In this episode you'll hear:

How many titles there are on each of the games services

What better way to roundup our thoughts on E3 2019 than to have another live show?  Andy, Matt and Ali are joined by Stuart Cullen to talk about what they thought of this year’s show, which games stood out, and where they think things will go from here.  Because it was live and people were actually there on Discord, there were also giveaways too!  If you missed out, still listen to this because there might be a prize remaining that needs claiming.

In this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast you’ll find out:

• Which publishers made an impression at E3 2019

It's a distinctly historical theme this month as Matt, Andy and Ali wade their way through the annuls of time... and mountains of Assassin's Creed games.  The bonus month took off big time and nearly every entry in the series got a pledge on one platform or another.  Did they all get completed though?  Listen to the show to find out.

In this Assassin's Creed special of Codec Momentum, you'll hear about:

• How many games got pledged

For the second year in a row, the Codec Moments team have recorded an E3 episode that hasn't languished in editing hell until September!  Andy, Matt, Ali and Stu discuss their E3 predictions.  Some are outlandish, some sound like they have been researched and some have already been announced in the week since the recording took place.  The last sentence was lifted directly from the 2018 episode and still holds true today.

In this podcast:

• We talk about the studios and publishers attending E3 and what we might see presented

It's been a while since we've sat down and talked about what's been our go to games recently, so Matt and Ali spend this week's episode talking about what they've been spending the most time with.  If you've been keeping up with our #CodecMomentum bonus month you probably won't be surprised by the heavy Assassin's Creed content.  The keen eared amongst you might spot a little something different with our theme tune too...
