The FTC v Xbox hearing - Reaction and Updates | Final Fantasy XVI Impressions | Google Returning to Games via YouTube?

On this weeks bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko is joined by Kat, Miles, Sean, Josh, Yogdog *and* Tom for a mass dissection of the weeks gaming news and playing a whole bunch of brand new games. In the news this week our main topic is the ongoing FTC v Xbox hearing, where some wild revelations are coming out regarding Xbox's business practices and just how far they were willing to go in order to bring down PlayStation, and PlayStation's brutal retaliations. If you ever wanted a console war, never fear, it's all happening behind closed doors apparently. We get into the wild reveals to see just what we think of everything, and whether or not we're actually going to see some video games from Microsoft one day whilst they're busy buying more studios to make them. It's a bizarre week for Xbox and it's only going to get more insane as they try to finally get their acquisition of Acti/Blizz over the line. Elsewhere Google could be making a comeback to the gaming space, this time via YouTube. A plan they had early on was to link to games from YouTube to immediately play and well, it looks like they're finally making good on that promise. If they market this correctly (which, let's be honest, they definitely didn't do with Stadia), could this be the future of how we consume games? It's a long shot, but we're intrigued to see what happens. Also, the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 line-up has supposedly leaked. Are our MGS megafans Miles and Josh happy with the line-up? What would they add? Apparently 'Metal Gear Survive' was not the right answer, who knew? Miles has been taking down Xenomorphs in Alien Dark Descent and Operation Polygon Storm ,Sean has been in the ring checking out AEW Fight Forever, Yogdog has been strateging it up in Strategic Command World War 1 on PC, Josh has been checking out the Open Beta of Ubisofr's xDefiant with a little help from Miles and even less help from Rossko, Kat and her beloved Crash Bandicoot are back together in the super fun Crash Team Rumble and Rossko, Tom and Sean talk about the wonders of that indie darling Final Fantasy XVI. Oh, Sean and Yogdog have also checked out the brand new Warhammer 40000 Leviathan Box.Plus the Lotus Biscoff McFlurry reviewed. My goodness.

Most Anticipated Games For The Rest of The Year | RIP Xbox One | Final Fantasy XVI Spoilers Are Out There

This week on the Finger Guns Podcast in the wake of Summer Game Fest the podteam of Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog all choose our most anticipated games for the rest of the year and boy, are there are metric ton of wonderful games incoming. There's even a Nintendo exclusive in there! Who would have thunk it? Elsewhere we say a fond farewell to the Xbox One after Microsoft have confirmed they are no longer making games for the system. We talk the infamous reveal show and where the system went right in the end and discuss why we all decided to go PlayStation last generation after all enjoying our Xbox 360's. It's a fun chat and a nice reminder of where Xbox were to where they are now. A heroes journey if there ever was one. Also there are Final Fantasy XVI spoilers out there so be wary if you want to go into the game completely fresh on Thursday. To manage this we talk our hype levels and once again drool over that incredible demo which sold us all on picking the game up day one. Kat kicks us off in Game of the Week with the console release of Crime Boss: Rockay City, you know that we've been playing it for a while and were looking forward to checking out the co-op, and Kat, Rossko, Josh, Miles (and even the elusive Paul Collett) jumped in to check out this updated release. Josh has been checking out the lovely Dordogne and the emotionally charged Before Your Eyes on PSVR 2, Yogdog has spent the week playing Team Fight Tactics (which is kinda in the League of Legends universe), Miles went back in time to finally play Dynasty Warriors 9 and Rossko has been budling rollercoasters in Park Beyond.

Well, it's been quite the week eh? The Finger Guns Podcast returns with Rossko, Sean, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog all back together to talk the weeks biggest showcases and reveal highlights.

And in Game of the Week Sean has jumped into his backlog to play Psychonauts 2, Yogdog has been absolutely storming Diablo IV, Josh has been playing Decarnation, an isometric pixel horror set in France, Kat - in between downing vodka shots in Poland - has been checking out Daydream Forgotten Sorrow., Miles has taken it upon himself to be the one to talk about the extraordinary Final Fantasy XVI demo and Rossko has been enjoying some of the weeks demos like Viewfinder and Road to Vostok.SO MANY GAMES.Donate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Yogdog (Jonathan Brown) - @Yogdog | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Bungie Calling the Shots At Naughty Dog | Gollum Devs Apologise | Nintendo Pull Wii Emulator Off Steam

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean and Yogdog get together to talk the weeks news and the aftermath of the PlayStation Showcase, namely where was Naughty Dog? Well, that could be Bungie's fault. We reveal all in our discussion of the state of Factions right now. Elsewhere Nintendo are shutting down fun things again as they DMCA the upcoming GameCube and WII Emulator Dolphin on Steam. A win for the war on emulation or more proof of Nintendo's lack of preservation? We also get into the terrible launch of Gollum and Daedalic's lacklustre response to the issues surrounding the game. With yet another post-launch Twitter apology to stomach from a development team, when is enough enough and are developers really slaves to their consumers? We tackle this from each side to try and work out what on earth can be done about the state of games at launch. Also, Yogdog attended an online Warhammer event and we get a huge update of everything to come from the franchise. It's a lot, you're eating well if you're a fan that's for sure. In Game of the Week Yogdog talks Strategic Command 2: World at War and Sean has been checking out the TellTale-lite Star Trek Resurgence. And guess what, Rossko has been playing Fortnite...woo. Oh, and The Muppets. And PS3's Haze. And The Die Hard Trilogy. And Wagon Wheels. And Obi-Wan Kenobi. There's a lot going on this week. Enjoy the ep!

PlayStation Showcase 2023 Reaction Special

Kept ya waiting, huh? The PlayStation Showcase 2023 has been and gone and you can now join Rossko, Miles, Josh, Yogdog and Toby (for a little bit) in dissecting every single announcement from the event. There's a whole lot to get through so don't be disparaged and join us as we peel Miles off the ceiling as this basically was an event picked solely from his brain and it's rather incredible that he was even able to muster words for this podcast, let alone actually turn up.

Dead By Daylight Gets A Supermassive Single Player | Lord of the Rings MMO Incoming | Will We See GTA 6 Next Year?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's a been a quiet week leading up to the PlayStation Showcase so Rossko, Josh and Sean get together to talk everything they could find including the news that Dead By Daylight will be receiving a single player expansion soon from Supermassive Games, the makers of Until Dawn and The Quarry. Rossko asks DBD superfan Josh if he's psyched for it, along with written in thoughts from Kat and Miles, who couldn't join the pod this week. We also talk a Lord of the Rings MMO coming from Amazon on the back of their first hit, New World. We try and decipher how they could make such a thing really rather good and hopefully we can look forward to whatever it's going to be. There's also been talk from Take Two Interactive this week that their upcoming fiscals are going to be very healthy indeed which leads to the assumption that Grand Theft Auto 6 may not be as far away as we think? We break down the numbers along with everything else they have incoming and see if GTA can find a space in a busy release schedule from the company. And of course, the aforementioned PlayStation Showacse is going to dominate the news this week so we put out heads together to see if we can figure out some of the more out there possibilities from the show and our most ridiculous theories. Could GTA 6 close the show? Will we see the fabled G-Police Remake or PlayStation All Stars Battle-Royale 2? We haven't got long to find out. Josh has been playing Undergrave (whilst tearing through Humanity), Sean and Rossko have been playing a fair bit of LEGO 2K Drive and despite the microtransactions poisoning the perfect LEGO world, it's a really good time. Rossko has also been checking out the Starship Troopers Extermination Early Access and is having a hell of a time shooting the ever living hell outta bugs with Miles, hear all about it!

Are Capcom The Best in the World Right Now? | Nintendo's Next Console | Mortal Kombat Reboot Incoming?

We've got a stacked podcast this week as Rossko, Kat, Miles, Tom, Yogdog and Sean all get together to talk the weeks gaming news, have a chaotic quiz once again (but what else is new?) and celebrate the rather random moment when Rossko appeared on BBC Sounds to talk about the podcast? MAD. Anyway, in terms of gaming news this week the gang get into the wonderful world of Capcom and after their record breaking sales numbers were revealed we discuss whether or not they could lay claim to be the best publisher in the world right now. Elsewhere there's been some interesting teases in the world of Mortal Kombat with a video teasing a possible reboot / remake? What's going on here? We delve into that along with talking about what we'd like from the next Nintendo console. Well, some of us do. Some of us just continue to bitch about Mario because apparently he slept with their Mum when they were a baby or something. And of course Game of the Week returns and Tom jumps back on to tell us all about his time with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (you might have heard about it), Miles has checked out the console versions of the cracking Fights in Tight Spaces from GrounfShatter,, Kat has been playing through the Forbidden West DLC Burning Shores, Yogdog has been checking out Mechabellum, a TFT DOTA like where you play as units of mechs/tanks and blow s*** up, presumably.. Sean has checked out Wales' Interactive Mia and the Dragon Princess and Rossko has been deep in the Park Beyond Closed Beta.Donate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comG-Finity's Legend of Zelda Review. Theme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Yogdog (Jonathan Brown) - @Yogdog | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Phil Spencer apologises for Redfall | The State of Xbox in 2023 | PlayStation Showcase Rumours Surface

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog get together once again to talk everything video games and this week it's all Xbox as the aftermath of the poor Redfall reviews led Xbox head Phil Spencer to publicly apologise to the community on the state of the game after promising so much. It's an interesting topic as to whether or not this was the right thing to do, but we have a good chat about this and the state of Xbox right now regardless. Elsewhere in PlayStation land there are rumours abound of an upcoming Showcase which will finally (hopefully) answer the questions of what the hell their studios have been working on. We may see some more Spidey, we may get MGS3?! It's all up in the air but by jove we're all a bit excited about it. Well, except for Kat. In Game of the Week, Kat and Miles have jumped into the Until Dawn-esque adventure The Quarry whilst Miles has been playing Remnants of the Rift (with a nice little shout out to the Star Wars goodness currently all over the Fortnite island), Josh has been checking out the PlayStaiton version of Squeenix's LiveALive, Yogdog has fell down a master race rabbit hole in PC strategy Rimworld..lols.

It's here! We've made it to episode 200 of The Finger Guns Podcast and holy crap on a cracker have we got a treat for you. Joining the returning Rossko with Miles, Kat, Josh and Yogdog is the brilliant Ethan Lawrence, returning for a fourth time and causing more chaos than ever. I'm pretty sure we talked about video games at one point. We get into the news of the week too, of course (eventually) but I'm not entirely sure we can write a description here of this episode because it's a no holds barred, no real system episode that went off the rails extremely quickly, and possibly includes the longest quiz we've ever done but my word is it epic. Fortunately we still managed to find time to include Game of the Week and Kat has been checking out the Crash Team Rumble Closed Beta, Miles has been checking out the unique and superb Strayed Lights, Josh has been playing the tactical roguelike deckbuilders Wildheart, Ethan has taken himself back to 2017 with the wonderful Stardew Valley and Yogdog has been checking out a game he can't yet talk about. It's Episode 200. It's here. It's absolutely mad. It's the longest episode we've ever recorded. Enjoy, because we all very much did.Dedicated to the memory of Stephen Keniston.

Look For The Light - Part II Spoilers + More

Here it is, the final episode of our The Last of Us HBO Podcast 'Look For The Light'. This week for the last time (until Season 2, of course..) Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk everything that links Season One to Part II, so naturally if you haven't played/seen/heard the games hugely divisive sequel, disappear immediately because we're spoiling absolutely everything about it in minute detail. So much so I can't even write a description for this episode. If you're deep into The Last of Us lore, then come join us on the ride and we dissect Part II to theorise how the second season of The Last of Us will play out, where we could see certain story threads beginning and ending in different ways, characters that are ripe for a Bill and Frank-esque deep dive and who on earth is going to play..well, you know who I'm talking about. They're a keen golfer. If you've enjoyed our series thank you so much for listening, it's been a treat talking The Last of Us every week with you. And don't forget, when you're lost in the darkness....well, you know.

BAFTA Nominations Revealed | CAPCOM / Do We Overhype, Um, Hype?

On this weeks podcast the team are thin on the ground as Rossko, Josh and Yogdog take on the weeks news whilst the rest of the team are taken over my Cordoceps.We tear through the BAFTA Game Nominations and choose our winners from every category along with choosing our pie in the sky announcements from this weeks Capcom Direct. Yogdog also fills us in on the very interesting Paradox Direct which showcased some of their latest titles including Cities Skylines 2, DLC for Crusader Kings III and much, much more.Our main topic though is hype. Do we get sucked in? Should we fall for hype? Is hype...dare we say...overhyped? We discuss. So far it's been a mixed bag in regards to games we've been excited for which ultimately disappointed us but we've also had games we were excited for that really delivered, but what is hype? There's a fair amount to discuss so we get into it as best we can.Of course we also have game of the week and Yogdog has been Mechin' his way through Phantom Brigade, Josh has jumped into Obscure Tales's Lamentum while Rossko has been somewhat disappointed by Destiny 2's latest DLC, Lightfall.Oh, and we recommend candles.

State of Play Reactions | Are Microsoft Bottling The Acti Deal? | Elden Ring sells 20m

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Sean, Kat, Miles and Yogdog get together to talk all things video games, and Nando's. And German speaking war movies. It's quite the pod. First up we recap this weeks PlayStation State of Play as we share our highlights of the show. We talk if we've finally been sold on Suicide Squad :Kill The Justice League after the deep dive and the excitement of Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6. Elsewhere as the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard rumbles on we get caught up on the latest developments, of which Microsoft are stumbling out of the gate after their poor showing at the EU hearing, defending the acquisition with Sony present seemingly pushing back on every promise. Will this deal ever go through? Do Microsoft have a leg left to stand on? Time will tell. Finally, has Souls gone mainstream? With the enormous success of Elden Ring reported this week, has the genre shifted into the hands of filthy casuals? How did the marketing pull this one off? We discuss. Not forgetting Game of the Week, Sean has been checking out the delightful Clive N' Wrench, Miles has been ruling with an iron fist in The King's Dilemma: Chronicle, Kat has been playing the almighty Chef Life and Yogdog has continued his journey in Spellforce along with some Blood Bowl III. Rossko has just been playing Fortnite, so same old there. He's a predictable old man.

After skipping a week due to life, our HBO's The Last of Us podcast is back with a look back at Episode 4 and Episode 5. The first episodes you can kinda claim to be a 'part one' and 'part two' seemed to make sense to talk about together and seeing as our scheduled were all messed up it made sense to wait a little bit and then smash them together in one epic review podcast. Ep 4 and 5 presents Joel and Ellie reaching Kansas City, whose QZ has been obliterated and the people are killing FEDRA in the streets. It's up to Joel and Ellie to get our alive and maybe, just maybe taking some heroes along with them.Oh, and bloaters. Oof.

Welcome to a brand new miniseries from The Finger Guns Podcast all about HBO's The Last of Us series, based on Naughty Dog's rather good video game.

Metacritic Predicitions - The Results! | What Are Bungie Working On? | Sony reveal accessibility controller

We're back! The Finger Guns Podcast makes its triumphant return with episode 186, where Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog get back together to talk all things video games and what we've been playing over the festive period. Whilst the week has been somewhat light on news thus far, we manage to cram some minutes out of just what Bungie could be working on with their five unannounced projects and what we'd like to see new from the now legendary FPS developer.Elsewhere Sony have finally revealed an accessibility controller, known right now as Project Leonardo. We talk the very good news that Sony have at last moved into the sector where all can play their games, and just hope it's not out of peoples reach when it comes to price. There's a whole lot to like about this product, but will Sony market it correctly? Our main topic though is our Metacritic Predictions -Results. If you remember way back in January last year we took a selection of games that were due for release in 2022 and gave our own Metacritic predictions for each game. Well now it's time to jump back in and see how well we did. It's quite the listen! There's also plenty of recommendations (including TV shows, creme eggs and oh yeah, some video games), Red Dead 2, Rossko gets vindicated over What Remains of Edith Finch thanks to Josh, Miles talks his love for Arcade Paradise and Yogdog talks playing with a selection of Fallout mods. It's good to be back!

Games of the Year 2022 | 2023 Hype | The Big Fat Quiz of the Year

On our final podcast of the year we've managed to assemble our biggest cast so far with an almighty SEVEN Finger Gunners joining the pod and amassing an absolute cavalcade of madness. Joining Rossko is Kat, Miles, Josh, Sean, the returning Tom and Jonathan Brown (aka Yogdog) making his first appearance on the podcast as we talk all about our Games of the Year and everything that is to come.We delve into our Game of the Year choices and share with the group just why these games were so damn special to us, elaborating on our written segments in the website GOTY article. There's a fair few of us now so there's a fair few games to get into, it's a hell of a list. Elsewhere we talk hype for 2023 and whilst it looks like there's a certified banger dropping at least every single month we try to narrow it down with a hefty list of games we're looking forward to (but still manage to add plenty on at the end). With a simple cheer-o-meter we garner what the team is looking forward to the most and what we can probably do without next year, if anything at all. And also, we're still unsure whether or not we're allowed to bloody play Hogwarts Legacy or not. A huge shout out to Kat also who put together an almighty Big Fat Game Quiz of 2022 which saw us take on nearly double the questions as normal and try to remember some of the nonsense we wrote in our reviews as questions. It's a hell of a laugh and we hope you can join in at home on at least some of the questions. Never fear though our regular segment Game of the Week remains as Miles talks Crisis Core: Final Fantasy Reunion, Kat and Rossko get hype on the ridiculously funny High on Life, newbie YogDog talks Rimworld, Sean shares his thoughts on WhipDrive years after release (now shiny and better than ever on PS5), Tom tosses a coin to the next-gen Witcher 3 upgrade and Josh finally tries Vampire Survivors. It's been a hell of a year on The Finger Guns Podcast and thank you so much for joining us for the ride. We've seen our biggest numbers ever and now we can keep it live and kicking on our new partners Acast! Thank you again, we'll see you in January.

The Game Awards 2022 Review | Our Favourite Trailers | Where The Heck Were Xbox?

On the penultimate episode of The Finger Guns Podcast for 2022 Rossko, Josh, Kat and Miles get together to talk everything The Game Awards. We talk about the winners and the losers, the event itself, our favourite trailers and what we're probably going to avoid (hello Crime Boss Rockay Citaayyy). Do we agree with what won and what didn't? Well, for the most part yes, but there are some egregious calls which we set straight by, well, shouting at each other so loud our microphones cut out. It's all a part of the podcasting experience, folks. You should know this about us by now.Elsewhere Game of the Week returns with Miles talking about the mysterious Mirror Forge, Kat talks the Fall of Porcupine demo, Josh searches for dead bodies in Hello Neighbour 2 and Rossko shares his impressions on Forspoken now the demo is available on PSN.We've also got another quiz and another bath of recommendations, all of which are video games this week. What? No random new chocolate bar to recommend? We're sorry, we're going to try harder next week.

Do Live Service Games Still Offer Value? | Need For Speed, Midnight Suns, Callisto Impressions | Game Awards Hype!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat, Josh and the returning Sean to talk the weeks news and yet again, there isn't an awful lot so we talk a bit more about what we've been playing and what we're excited to see at The Game Awards next week. First up Josh talks his time with Need for Speed Unbound and how he worries he's getting a little too old for it, Miles shares his opinion on the hugely anticipated The Callisto Protocol, Rossko talks doing a full 360 of Marvel's Midnight Suns and Sean holds up his indie corner by trying out the rather delightful The Forest Quartet. We also talk Fortnite's brand new chapter and the state of live service in games overall. Who's doing it, who's doing it wrong and what's to come in the future (gentle reminders also that Fortnite is bloody great and should be played by everyone). Kat also returns with a quiz and there are some hearty recommendations. We'll be back for The Game Awards.

Christmas Games! | Buying a Gaming Laptop in 2022 | Netflix to make a 'AAA' game?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and Kat get to grips with the weeks news of which there...well, there isn't an awful lot but boy, is this not an entertaining lark of a podcast anyway.We get into the announcement of Starship Troopers: Extermination, a brand new 12 player co-op shooter adventure that takes us very much into the heart of the movie. We're all rather excited for this (well, except for Kat..).Splinter Cell returns! Kinda. Not really. In a BBC Radio 4 audio drama? Bet you didn't have that on your 2022 bingo card, did you? The franchise returns once again without returning and we're all a little befuddled as to why Ubisoft aren't just making a brand new game in the series instead of milking Sam Fischer for all he's worth everywhere else.We also talk Netflix's announcement that they're taking on development of a 'AAA' title. We don't know much else, other than it may be a shooter and it may be connected to one of their IP's. Are we about to see a major Stranger Things game on the horizon? What about Squid Game? Mindhunter ?That Witcher series they made would be a fun video game, don't you think?Elsewhere, Miles and Kat share the love for God of War Ragnarok, Rossko has finally finished Horizon Forbidden West and Josh talks the almighty Goat SImulator 3 with huge praise. There's also a God of War themed quiz and some glorious recommendations to get your teeth into this week. Though oddly none of them are food this time...Oh, and we follow the trails and tribulations of Kat buying a sexy gaming laptop throughout the podcast. It's a fascinating ride and one you'll want to follow until the very end. It's incredible.ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Golden Joystick Winners | Warzone 2.0 Makes All The Money | Two Years of Series X / PS5

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles and Josh are back together once again to get through the weeks news and well, there isn't a whole lot of it so we talk about Call of Duty instead. Well, as we keep up with the Golden Joystick award winners announcements throughout the podcast (Elden Ring for best multiplayer? Eh?), the gang discuss the ridiculous success of Warzone 2.0 and what it could mean for the future of the Royale, our own opinions on the game itself after jumping in together this week and more talk about the ongoing Microsoft / Activision acquisition saga. They offered ten years to PlayStation for CoD, would they accept? Well, we have no idea. But we speculate either way what it could mean for both companies. Elsewhere it's been two years since the release of the Xbox Series duo and the PS5, so we give the systems a thorough going over about where they stand and what we've enjoyed and not enjoyed about them so far. With Xbox throwing their money around - with seemingly very little return just yet - and Sony banging out AAA after AAA, the two companies have gone down very different paths in the hope to grab your attention this time around. We discuss whether or not we see a future in either method and when we can expect Xbox to actually start living up to the cheques they're writing developers. Starfield has a hell of a lot on its shoulders. There's also of course Game of the Week where Miles talks the brilliant Evil West, Josh gets hyped for Ship of Fools and Rossko digs into his backlog to get a little further in Horizon Forbidden West and talks the brilliant Once Upon a Jester, which you can pick up on Steam right now. Josh also turns up with a Game Awards themed quiz which you won't want to miss and there's the latest on Miles' Saturnalia/Only Fans venture. It's quite the episode.

The Game Awards 2022 Nominations & Predictions | Control 2 Confirmed! | RIP Kevin Conroy

This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and a very late Kat (seriously, at the gym trying to better herself instead of talking games? Pfft) get together to talk all the weeks news and well, there's a whole lot of game nominations we need to get through. Oh yes, it's that time of year again where we tear through the entire list of The Game Awards nominations and see if we can pick who is going to take home the gold. Through every category - almost - we still don't know what an e-sports is - we get into arguments over who deserves to take home Geoff Keighley's pointless trophies that pad out his trailer showcase and well, let's just say it gets fairly heated this year. Kat comes back from the gym and is taking no prisoners. Giant crumpet.Elsewhere we talk the weeks news including The Witcher 3's next-gen upgrade, the official confirmation of Control 2 and the tragic passing of our Batman, the irreplaceable Kevin Conroy. As ever we talk our Game of the Week with Miles sharing his thoughts on Somerville (out now on Game Pass. Go play!), Josh fights off dinosaurs in the Switch version of the Jurassic Park Aftermath Collection and Rossko, at least, shares his thoughts, however heartbreaking they may be, on Sonic Frontiers.Oh, and there's so much more. We love this one, we're pretty sure you will too. See you next time! Enjoy the episode.

PSVR 2 Dated and Priced | Kojima's Horror Game Leaked | Sonic Frontiers is...'good'?!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're all getting rather excited about the weeks big releases, namely God of War Ragnarok and Sonic Frontiers. Has Rossko caved and already brought Sonic? At the time of recording, no, but hey, there's still one hour to go before midnight.Instead we decided to get together and talk the weeks news, and there isn't an awful lot to get into but we did indeed talk all about PlayStation VR 2, now that it's been dated and priced and we share our thoughts on whether or not we're going to jump into brave new virtual worlds on day one. It's a tad expensive one would argue, but in comparison to other VR headsets of this quality, is it justified? Sean being the man of reason helps us out with this one and we're eternally grateful.Elsewhere in a follow-up to last weeks main discussion, Hideo Kojima's horror game OVERDOSE may or may not have been leaked on the YouTubes by a shirtless man. There's a whole lot of conspiracy with this one and we're fairly excited to see what ol' Kojima-san has up his sleeve this time around. Also, the shirtless man is totally Geoff Keighley.We're also all in on Game of the Week. Rossko has lost himself to the PlayStation Starts rewards service for pointless collectibles, Miles has played a terrible castle simulator, Kat has once again played a cosy life sim on the Switch and Josh has spent the week playing one of Sean's favourites of the year, Kovox Pitch whilst Sean shares his impressions of The Chant with the group. There's also a brand new audio quiz from Kat - with all the drama you expect from a Kat quiz - Rossko gets very excited about Sonic Frontiers reviews, Miles shares his opinions on Terrifier 2 and Sean's cat makes a couple of cameos. There's a whole lot going on in this ep, which is wild considering we only came up with two news stories to talk about.

Saturnalia is a perfect game | Do we 'identify' as gamers? | What's Kojima actually making?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk the weeks news with Hideo Kojima starting the hype train for this new project by stating it's a 'whole new medium'...um, whatever that could possibly mean. We try and decipher what on earth he's up to and see if it's at all related to his rumoured horror game 'Overdose' or if he's taking Death Stranding 2 in a wild new direction. Elsewhere we talk yet again about the stigma of being called a 'gamer'. After a research study was revealed claiming that those who identify as 'gamers' are more likely to be racist and sexist, we try to break down what studies like this really mean and if we can at all stomach the phrase gamer at all and what it really means to the general populous. Are we all tarred with the same brush? And why is it exclusively video games that seems to be the punch bag for this? We discuss. Then with the news that Naughty Dog themselves are working with a brand new Sony studio to create a new entry in a 'beloved franchise', we have some fun trying to guess what on earth it could be. Will it be a new entry in a Naughty Dog franchise or has Sony thrown them something from their esteemed back catalogue we haven't seen for a while? Time will tell, but boy it's fun to speculate. Game of the Week of course returns with Kat talking Broken Pieces, Miles finally getting to talk about possibly his game of the year, Saturnalia, Josh talks the last few hours of Fortnite's halloween content Fortnitemares and Rossko finally jumps into retro compilation Sonic Origins.Josh also talks more horror movies with a review of Barbarian, Rossko randomly has Top Gun Maverick land on his door and has finally seen The Batman and Kat recommends food. We're nothing if not consistent here at The Finger Guns Podcast.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and the returning Tom Woods talk everything about the weeks big reveals from the Silent Hill and Resident Evil Showcases, with five new Silent Hill projects to chew on and some scarily good looking trailers for Resident Evil 4 and the Winters Expansion for Resident Evil Village. Is the fear still alive for both these franchises? It certainly would appear so. Elsewhere we jump back into our scariest moments in video games, as is tradition. We unlock the horrors from video games past as we share with the group exactly which moments in video games have made us jump out of our seats. This years includes the likes of Dying Light, P.T., Alien Isolation and more. It's a veritable feast of fascination fearsome Finger Gunning..or something. Our Game of the Week of course returns with chats all about I See Red, Aquarist, the cracking Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed and Rossko talks through his time with the Call of Duty Modern Warfare II campaign ahead of its release on Friday. Also, in what I know you've all been waiting for, Kat shares her review of Taylor Swift's brand new album Midnights. Cus we keep our finger on the pulse right here and we know that's what you really want to hear about, even if you won't admit it.
