The EarlyGame Podcast

In Episode 7 of The EarlyGame Podcast, Faris and Evan talk through this week's Nintendo Direct. What are they up to? Where games have they revealed? Will we ever get a Mario Odyssey 2? All this and more is available right here on The EarlyGame Podcast, with new episodes each and every Thursday night at 7PM CEST / 10AM PT.

Check out everything we talked about in our detailed Nintendo Direct coverage over at https://www.earlygame.com/.

In our sixth episode of The EarlyGame Podcast, we go through everything that was announced at the PlayStation Showcase. We talk Back 4 Blood, God of War Ragnarok, why Rockstar needs to just "Stop It!" with GTA V (that, of course, is a classic "Evan" opinion), Tiny Tina's Wonderland, the first Star Wars RPG in years, and more. It's chock-a-block full of the usual shenanigans, and even has a special guest... Editor Faris is here, and he's ready to rock your bloody socks off.

Evan's Beautiful, Beautiful Voice

The fifth episode of The EarlyGame Podcast is our big Gamescom 2021 episode! After our usual shenanigans, we dive into the #ADayOffTwitch situation, why eFootball is an interesting move for Konami, and Evan's rather controversial opinion on Horizon and Sony's decision to offer free-PS5 upgrades. We then dive head-first into Gamescom, running through the games and having a fantastic time doing so. As usual, Jon becomes increasingly exasperated at Evan's antics. Come on, mate, calm down...

Evan's Beautiful, Beautiful Voice

In our fourth episode of The EarlyGame Podcast, we complain extensively about Redfall, a game so disappointing that Evan almost falls off his chair in rage. Before that, though, Jon tries to convince Evan that Ghost of Tsushima didn't look as awful as he things it does, we talk Splitgate's chaotic gameplay, and we dive right-on-in to rumors that The Witcher 4 is in development over at CD Projekt Red. Oh, and someone remade The Simpsons: Hit and Run in Unreal Engine 5. So... we geek out about a nearly 20-year-old game. We also go completely nuts, eat Cheese, and talk about Octodad: Dadliest Catch. It's the best episode of The EarlyGame Podcast so far, and you should take a listen...

In our third episode, we discuss whether Halo 3 is better than Halo Reach, talk through our confusion about the whole Razer-Mask... thing, and get hyped over the new 3D South Park Game. Oh, and Evan goes on a rant about how Video Game companies suck at naming their games. This week's main feature is our extended discussion about Tencent's recent Sumo Digital acquisition, and what increased Chinese Influence means for the Video Games industry. Oh, we almost forgot: Jon gets destroyed by a Red-Hot Chili Pepper.

If you want to listen to a snarky Australian and a pompous ol' Brit complain about the week's gaming news, then welcome to The EarlyGame Podcast. In our second episode, we talk about Halo Infinite's Battle-Royale Plans, nerd out over the Lord of the Rings Amazon Show, get confuzzled over Ariana Grande's Fortnite Concert, talk about Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island, and get hella excited about Battlefield 2042's new Portal Mode. We also talk at length about the Activision Blizzard Sex Discrimination and Harassment lawsuit, take a look at what has been alleged, and break down what we think will happen moving forward. As usual, there're a few little surprises for you along the way, for those of you who love nerdy s**t.

Quick Fact Check: I mentioned that Activision Blizzard's President has stepped aside. It is actually Blizzard's President, not Activision Blizzard's.

If you want to listen to a snarky Australian and a pompous ol' Brit complain about the week's gaming news, then welcome to The EarlyGame Podcast. In this first episode, we discuss the new Harry Potter RPG, whether the Steam Deck will beat the Switch OLED, and why XDefiant looks just so underwhelming. There's also a little surprise for those of you who love nerdy s**t.
