Ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase, we got together for a special live show in Los Angeles to discuss the weeks gaming news and throw out our predictions, dreams and wishes for the big show from Xbox. It's the DayOne Show Episode 317!

There's plenty to talk about this week, from Aarsal's late review of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, 007 First Light and of course, our recent preview of Exodus. Despite that, the majority of the show is rightly focused on all the big shows that we've enjoyed this week.
We kick things off with the most recent show, Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, with the whole team in agreement that it was without a doubt the best show Geoff's ever done. From Resident Evil Veronica, Alien Isolation 2, a new Cuphead and big surprises like The Last Ronin and the conclusion of the trilogy with Final Fantasy VII Revelation, there were plenty of great games on show.

Not to be outdone, we had to talk a little about Sony's State of Play, and the reactions to the big gameplay reveals of things like Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey.
And lastly, it's the night before the big Xbox Game Showcase! Jon revealed a few things from his time at the Xbox Industry Mixer, and we get into all the expectations, hopes and wild dreams that will be possibly realised tomorrow.
All this and more in the DayOne Show Episode 317!

It's been a busy week in games as well as news, so there's plenty to talk about on this episode. With Jon out at UK Games Expo for Console Wars the Card Game, Nick, Jesse and Aarsal get together to chat about the latest goings on.
First up it's Aarsal's time in the spotlight with his thoughts on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 after this time with Infinity Ward while out on assignment. You can read his thoughts on the campaign and the multiplayer. We've all been playing 007 First Light, and are having a thoroughly great time with what feels like a real Game of the Year contender!

Valve's SteamDeck handheld got a shocking price increase, and has many gamers questioning if the Steam Machine will even release considering the issues facing supply for memory and storage for these sorts of devices. All this and more in the DayOne Show Episode 316.

From live Forza Shows to incredible video games, it's been another busy week, and the start of a marathon! Let's talk about all the weeks happenings in The DayOne Show Episode 315!

We've been enjoying Forza Horizon 6 along with everyone else this week in what has been a quieter week in terms of video games releases overall. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is out, and while a late review may be on the cards, we're all just enjoying the game - it's excellent. We do have a review of recent Game Pass addition Luna Abyss up on the site for folks that are interested - just head here.

Where the week hasn't been so quiet is in video game news! We divert off on to a tangent about stealth games and how the mechanics aren't really about realistic stealth before diving into the latest headlines.
Sony have announced a new State of Play, and they're inviting journalists and pundits to come and sit in a room to watch it, so it certainly sounds like it might be a big one. And thank goodness this positive news arrived when it did, because Bungie have announced the end of Destiny 2 support, with Bloomberg reporting that lay-offs at the legendary studio are imminent. Poor Bungie. Oh, and because there's never enough money to go around, the price of PlayStation Plus subscriptions is going up. Oof.
Elsewhere, Xbox leadership changes continue with a couple of new hires, and a brand new Xbox Game Studios shop is now online. Following the capitlisation of XBOX, fans are now wondering what the next generation of Xbox hardware is going to be called. Will Asha ask the community to name it (We hope not)?
Lastly, we did see a surprising leak of some new Virtua Fighter footage which looks utterly fantastic, and SEGA even teased something for Crazy Taxi. With showcase season fast approaching, we can't wait to see all the new games over the next few weeks. All this, plus your community questions, so jump in!

Two big games launched this week, and there's plenty of news to talk about. Let's get into things in The DayOne Show Episode 314!

We kick off the show talking about a bunch of the games we've been playing this week! The biggest of course is Forza Horizon 6, which is as incredible as you were probably hoping it to be. We've also been diving into titles like Directive 8020, Subnautica 2, Call of the Elder Gods, Outbound and the very surprisingly addictive Black Jacket - which we thoroughly recommend.

There's a bunch of news topics to dig into this week. We've attended a real life Forza Horizon festival, and we've seen Forza Horizon 6 already pull in over 1 Million Players in it's Premium Access Launch. Grand Theft Auto 6 has made headlines thanks to some pre-order affiliate emails going out from Best Buy, suggesting that pre-orders for the game will open on May 18th.
Xbox made a few headlines, with a disc-to-digital program on the cards and plenty of controller leaks from a new Cloud-gaming controller to the Elite Series 3. Loads more on this episode, so jump in!
