The Finger Guns Podcast

Big Walk? More like Big WAIlk right? I dunno. Hey everyone! Welcome to episode 351 of The Finger Guns Podcast. Join Rossko, Josh and Miles as we talk through the weeks big news including PlayStation cancelling their big live service hope Fairgame$, we discuss the ethical dilemma of House House admitting to using AI during the development of our beloved Big Walk and previous Bioware devs joining forces to save the lost IP due to their closure. Plus we follow the Golden Joystick award announcements as they come in!

In Game of the Week Miles has checked out 1000xResist, The Blood of Dawnwalker and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture(!) (before we get into a long chat about whether or not Wolverine is worth playing yet or not), Josh has been checking out 'absolutely Miles' bag' Thronefall, whilst Rossko has been carrying on with his playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Enjoy the ep!

We did it! It's 350! The 350th episode! THREEFIDDY! Ahhh!

In this momentous episode, the full gang is here as Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh are joined by our good friend Ethan Lawrence and VGC's Chris Scullion to talk the weeks news and the goddamn games we've been playing. Oh, and to celebrate the 350th episode of this ridiculous. Honestly, 350! It's all your fault, person reading this. We keep going because of you. We love you. Even you.

In the news we get into Arkane maybe heading elsewhere as they blame Microsoft for the lack of movement on their upcoming Blade title, we take the wondrous Amazon Luna free list for November and recommend some good stuff and look at the retro EA collection recently uploaded to Steam!

In Game of the Week Kat checks out the cosy sim The Witches' Bakery, Josh has The Seance of Blake Manor, a dialogue heavy RPG that is made for Josh Thompson, Miles has been playing Mouthwashing, it's dark and twisted and amazing, Ethan talks the joy of the magical Final Fantasy Resonance (it's an absolute Type 2, you know), Chris Scullion talks Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and Rossko talks Fortnite. Yup. That's Fortnite. Just Fortnite. Oh, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2. No big deal.

Oh, so many ziplines.

Enjoy the episode, and thanks so much for being around 350 times! This is nonsense, but in the very best way.

This week on the pod Rossko is back with Kat, Miles and Josh as we talk Rockstar after GTA 6, the God of War Laufey Collectors Box and Microsoft launching a teeny tiny version of their controller for the ol' smart things because everything else is an Xbox still Asha, right?

In Game of the Week, Josh hasn't got one because we were all so prepared for this and instead talks about a reveal of a game that's incoming and it's rather exciting. Kat has been checking out Two Point Museum's latest content and the almighty Graveyard Keeper 2 whilst Miles finally shares with the world how he truly feels about EA Sports' FC 27 and its new open world mode The Grounds.

Plus, an AITA about board games that nearly breaks up a couple. Yeesh.

Enjoy the episode!

(Note: The episode begins with us addressing the recent statement put out by Finger Guns along with our own personal feelings towards the situation. We are open, frank, honest and clear about how the entire ordeal has made us feel, and this in returns hopefully leans into the transparency we're aiming for moving forward).

This week on the pod, Josh, Miles and Kat get into the Paramount / Warner Bros. merger and what that means for video games, the horror of AI video game mashup videos and the team returning to Star Wars: Zero Company after being laid off before launch. Ah, the industry continues to deliver such joyous news.

In Game of the Week, Miles talks Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered, the glorious Star Wars: Galactic Racer along with a possible GOTY contender in Ace Combat 8! Kat has returned to Two Point Hospital to check out the latest special edition whilst Josh has been checking out the horror metroidvania Silver Pines.

And there's a fresh brand spanking new AITA for the team to tackle!

Enjoy the episode!

Oh yeah, this is happening! Eighteen months later, Rossko is joined by Shut Up And Answer The Question's Sean Anthony to talk everything SEGA Dreamcast, reminiscing on the classic system from the 90's with the fondest of memories. The conversation ranges from the games (oh the games), the controller (oh the controller), the VMU's, the peripherals, the 56k modem and just how bloody ahead of its time the system was. Oh, it's good to look back! Join two old guys talk about the good ol' days.

Enjoy the episode!

This week on the pod it's another bout of pure misery as Xbox announce more layoffs and studio closures (and studio merges), Sonic nearly lost itself to time because SEGA are stupid (which leads to a fun conversation as to where the blue blur is these days in gaming) and end on a bit of a high note with Bungie rebuilding Destiny 2 after the enormous fan outcry. Good news? Yay!

Plus we talk about the GTA VI £350 merch pack that doesn't include the game. Incredible times, eh?

In Game of the Week Josh talks about Kyle Thompson's metroidvania Well Dweller and the CaRPG Keep Driving, Miles talks about playing through Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker because he still can't talk about the game he's reviewing whilst Rossko gets confused talking about he feels about Wolverine. It's tough to share about video games sometimes guys. You're so lucky we put ourselves through this pain.

Enjoy the episode!

SURPRISE!

This week on the pod our good friend Ethan Lawrence joins Rossko, Kat and Miles to talk the weeks news including PlayStation breaking up with Hideo Kojima, Rossko getting rather excited about the two Nintendo Directs from the past few days and we get into the back end of Steam and find plenty of holes, with a bunch of achievements and game announcements getting leaked.

In Game of the Week, Miles shocks everyone with his opinions on Promise Mascot Agency (seriously, we can't believe this nonsense), Kat also shares her wonderment for Promise Mascot Agency (seriously guys, it's so good...you need to check it out!) along with the gorgeous little indie Leafy Corner and Kat shares how she's getting on with Elden Ring, while Ethan and Rossko get very excited about Final Fantasy Resonance (along with Rossko chatting Hot Wheels Infinite Rush and Crazy Taxi: World Tour!)

Oh and we talk AITA about a wedding on a private island. Rather easy this one...

Enjoy the episode!

This week on the (admittedly longer than we expected) pod!

Rossko, Miles and Kat get into the groove with Sony calling consumers who understand digital sales of games are just a license 'reasonable people'. We shout out the unreasonable ones. We also talk Resident Evil being too scary (so says Capcom?!), and our impressions of the Grand Theft Auto VI Extended Look. Shiny.

In Game of the Week Miles has been in a galaxy far, far away checking out Star Wars: Zero Company and can finally talk about The Blood of Dawnwalker, Kat has chilled out with Flintlock: Siege of Dawn and well, has found herself ten hours into Elden Ring and she isn't entirely sure how that happened. Oh, and Rossko jumped into the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta on Switch 2 to see how it's running on Nintendo's flagship handheld.

And we have an AITA about a very sweet man who just wants to play video games with his partner. N'awww.

Also, what kind of Dr is Kat, actually? We find out.

Enjoy the episode!

This week on the pod!

Rossko, Miles and Kat get together to talk the weeks news including our highlights from Opening Night Live, the GTA 6 leaks and the wonder of Stage Tour that's coming this year!

In Game of the Week Kat has finally spent some solid time with the glorious Mixtape (three times!), Miles has been playing [REDACTED], but he can't talk about that so he checked out Devil May Cry 4 once again, whilst Rossko has been playing as Sonic in Fortnite and what the hell else did you expect Rossko to have played this week.

We also talk weddings, weddings in one room, weddings that smell like shoes and AITA returns with a Stardew Valley drama we're a little torn on.

Enjoy the episode!

The 344th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast the Thompson twins rule as Josh take the reigns to chat with Miles about the weeks gaming news including whether or not we need a remake of the original Uncharted game, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening possibly spoiling the return of Hit & Run and Saber Interactive replacing writers with AI. It's been a mixed bag.

In Game of the Week, Miles puts his place on the podcast on the line by saying very nice things about The Sinking City 2 whilst Josh beats up Ms Marvel in Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls.

Enjoy the episode!
