The DayOne Show | A Video Games Podcast

We're back to talk video games after another turbulent and hectic week in this crazy interesting. We'll break it down in The DayOne Show Episode 332!
As we head into the show, there's plenty of games to talk about this week, and we've also been playing plenty we can't yet talk about. First up is Rivage, a new sci-fi puzzler where the player is trapped in a time loop. Jon's played it, and doesn't like it very much. What he did like is Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, which is an absolute blast to play, even if it's very silly.
Jesse's been juggling plenty of things, from new previews for both The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park and a final look at Valor Mortis before release. The big one however, was Silent Hill: Townfall, which sadly, he didn't love, even though it's mostly reviewed pretty positively. If you're after even more game content, don't forget to check out our reviews for Woodo, Nascar 26, Warcraft 3: Forsaken Kingdom and Sin: Reloaded, just for starters! Nick said he's not played any games this week. Boo, Nick! Boo!
Plenty of News to Deal with!
On the news front, it's fair to say there's a lot to talk about, with PHYSINT/Kojima drama kicking us off, with exorbitant budget rumours, and disagreements among video game pundits and journalists over the whole affair.
The big stuff though, was once again focused around a beleaguered Xbox, who once again angered fans and the industry by detailing the next steps of their ongoing "reset" of the business. This time around saw Halo Studios hit hard with job cuts and Halo move over to Activision, along with Rare and World's Edge. Will it all work out? All this and more in The DayOne Show Episode 332!

Ace Combat is most assuredly back. From its massive, ambitious campaign, a multiplayer suite packed with modes, and an aircraft hanger full of exhilarating dogfights and absurdly cool fighters, this is arcade flight combat with the afterburners on full power. Our Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Review.

This Thursday we continue the mission to round up the latest in video game industry news with Headlines, our twice-weekly, news focused live show. On this episode of Headlines, the Fallout from the Xbox layoffs continues.

We're back after a solid week of gaming news, reviews and of course releases! Wolverine is out and generating plenty of discussion, and Xbox held their TGS broadcast with Hideo Kojima stealing the show with new information on OD and the recently signed PHYSINT. We talk through it all in The DayOne Show Episode 331!
As always, we kick off the show catching up and diving into the latest games we've been playing. Jon kicks off discussing Marvel's Wolverine, Sony's latest PlayStation 5 exclusive from Insomniac Games. Both Jon and Nick have been playing it this week, and it's been under a fair bit of scrutiny - while some of it's fair, some of it is pretty overblown.
Jesse published a new preview for Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, which has a new demo of the same content you can check out, as well as a review of CONTROL Resonant, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He described it as an excellent genre-shifting sequel, that moves the series from crazy flying third-person shooting into crazier, even more flying’ier third person melee combat.
On the news front, there's a fair amount to discuss. Xbox broadcast their TGS Show and showed off some cool games and reveals, and there's a bit of celebrity vibe. Mads Mikkelsen Wants to 'Make You Cry For Mercy' as he gets revealed as the new antagonist for Modern Warfare 4. The celebrity vibe continued with Kojima taking the stage in special appearance, as he also announced Bill Skarsgård as the lead in Physint. Beyond that, a big Xbox Game Pass rumour about day one games caused a big buzz, along with the appearance of 'mythic' achievements. Interesting times!
