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.

Look For The Light - Episodes Four + Five

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.

Halloween! Resident Evil Showcase Impressions | Silent Hill Reveals | Our Scariest Game Moments Ever (2022 Edition)

BOO! Ha! GOT YA! Sorry, we didn't mean to frighten you here at The Finger Guns Podcast but it's our Halloween episode so here comes the frights! Kind of. Not really. 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.

A Plague Tale: Requiem Review Chat | Bayonetta 3 Boycott | Sony Scared of ACTI Aquisition?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and the returning Josh talk all the weeks biggest news and get a bit excited about the weeks releases. Taylor Swift has an album coming out this week you know, we may have mentioned it a few times. We may spend the entire pod trying to get into the presale for tickets. Maybe. Definitely.In other news we talk the fallout of the reveal that Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor was only offered $4,000 to reprise her iconic role in Bayonetta 3, sending ripples across the industry on fair wages for voice actors. Platinum Games didn't take it all that well, and there's seemingly far more to come from this story. We chat about what's fair and how we're going to, regretfully, skip the game because of this.Elsewhere we're still talking about the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard with new information coming to light regarding Sony's part in all of this. Sony have kicked off saying they're worried Xbox will monopolise Call of Duty and secure exclusives for their players, meaning players will leave PlayStation to access them. Now, where have we heard that before? It's a very strange story that's going on and on and on, and well there's very little else to add apart from we're kinda hoping it's going to be over and done with soon.A huge release this week sees A Plague Tale Requiem finally come to consoles and PC and our own Toby was lucky enough to review the game. Rossko chats with him to discuss (as spoiler-free as possible) the game and his thoughts on it, and whether it not it lives up to the superb original (Find it at 01:25:00)To celebrate Kat has devised a quiz all about A Plague Tale and we all get a bit giddy and hype about its release (which is right now, it's available now. GO!).We also talk The Entropy Centre, The Last Hero of Nostal Gaia, Unusual Findings, Session, Kit Kat Chunky Biscoff Edition, Better Call Saul and Disney+ series The Bear.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's our 175th episode! To celebrate this major milestone we, er, well there's only three of us but what a trio! Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to talk the weeks news and where better place to start than with the clues pointing to a brand new Crash Bandicoot game being revealed at The Game Awards this year? Rumours are rife with speculation that we may see Crash's long awaited game Wumpa League at Geoff Keighley's annual game trailer expose, so be on the look out for that. Is Kat hyped? Well, you're gonna have to listen to find out..Elsewhere the biggest news of the week without a doubt was the reveal of the first footage from The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Nintendo and Minion's creators Illumination. The discord around this game has been rather insane so we try to collate it all and share our own opinions on what the trailer showcases and if we're excited to see the rest of the film. Oh, and if Chris Pratt is the right voice for Mario. Will this continue long into the wee hours? You better believe it, Rossko might bitch about this until the sun scorches the entire planet so buckle up. Ahead of a possible full podcast on the subject we also get into the affects of gaming on our mental health, as each member of the team share their experiences with games and how they've helped them get through some hard times and some of the stigma that still surrounds gaming as a whole. 'Never feel stupid for finding comfort in a video game'. Our Game of the Week segment returns with Miles talking Undetected, Kat shares her slice of Lemon Cake and Rossko goes all basic bitch and talks his time with FIFA 23.Enjoy the ep!If you're looking for someone to talk to please call the following numbers (UK);The Samaritans: 116 123Mind: 0300 123 3393 or http://www.mind.org.ukALL 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!

RIP Google Stadia | Trouble at Disco Elysium | Horizon Zero Dawn Remake Incoming?

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Sean get together to talk the weeks big news and basically there's only one place to start and that's the inevitable death of Google Stadia. After the announcement this week that Google will be pulling the online-only service in January of next year, we talk what went wrong, what Google didn't do well (and also what they did), what they could have done to save the service and, most crucially, how the developers had no idea this was happening until Google announced it. It's an entire cluster of bad times all round, and we break it down for you as best we can. Elsewhere we talk the fallout of leadership heads at Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM which lead to them 'involuntarily' leaving the company, leaving the sequel without its original creators. Where does this leave the new game? Are fans going to be as excited without their voices attached? As we were recording there was also some breaking news regarding a remake of Horizon Zero Dawn, which may be arriving on PS5 in the near future. There's nothing confirmed yet, but it looks like this rumour is building up steam amongst the press who have corroborated the information. We shall see what happens. Also, the Horizon board game is apparently really difficult. Finally we each discuss what we're looking forward to playing before the years end, there's still plenty of gaming to be had even if Miles is still refusing to play Gotham Knights. You know he will. We all know he will.

EGX 2022 Reviewed | Hands-On With Sonic Frontiers and Street Fighter 6! | The Best of the Indies

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's a proper OG cast as Rossko, Sean, Greg and Toby get together to talk all about EGX 2022. Granted, only Sean and Greg went this year but they have a whale of time talking to Rossko and Toby about their time at the event, what they played, who they shmoozed and what they thought of the event overall, whilst namechecking some indie highlights such as Robobeat, How To Say Goodbye, To Hell With That Guy, Trinity Fusion and Soulbound. Rossko of course asks about Sonic Frontiers and gets perhaps the shock of his life when Sean and Greg both agree that there may just be something there that's worth getting excited about this time...maybe. Greg and Sean also sing the praises of Street Fighter 6 after having several bouts on the upcoming fighter. Elsewhere we quickly get into the weeks biggest news with Cyberpunk suddenly doing massive numbers, Splinter Cell's remake getting 'modernised', a big update on the Rockstar Games hack and our thoughts on the first full trailer for HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us. It's divided the camp, that's for sure. We of course also have our game recommendations, Game of the Week includes No Place for Bravery, Diofield Chronicle, Family Man on Switch and QUBE's 10th anniversary and everything notable that's due for release this week. It's a big one.Enjoy the ep!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!

Grand Theft Auto 6 Leaked... | PSVR 2 Won't Play PSVR Games | An External PS5 Disc Drive Incoming?

This week on a packed Finger Guns Podcast Rossko sits himself back in the hosting seat with Sean, Greg, Kat, Miles and Josh to talk about the weeks news and what on earth could we talk about. Well, there was a certain thing about Grand Theft Auto 6 that happened.Yes, GTA 6 leaked across the internet this week and we have some thoughts. A lot of them not good. We try to dissect the timeline of this madness and work out where Rockstar Games go from here in dealing with this. It may not have huge implications after all, but it's not all that great, eh? We talk it out and see if the hype remains (spoiler; it does).We also get into the PSVR 2 news and after a week of previews and reveals, the news that the new headset will be incompatible with PSVR 1 games. We're all a bit gutted about it and we discuss whether or not this impacts our excitement for the headset. Also, are Sony planning an external disc drive for future PS5 models? The smallest of rumours have landed and we talk the possibilities and how it would actually be a good thing. Maybe? We'll see.In Game of the Week Rossko (and Kat, still blowing Rossko's mind to this day) talk the brand new Chromey season of Fortnite, Miles talks Sunday Gold, Kat finally gets to share her thoughts on Little Orpheus, Greg jumps back into Cyberpunk 2077, Josh has played a whole lot of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Sean finally gets his hands on his hugely anticipated Return to Monkey Island.

September 2022 Nintendo Direct / PlayStation State of Play Reaction Special

bonus

It's another Reaction Special and my word, we've only got two showcases to cover in one! First up we talk our highlights of the *very long* Nintendo Direct and what we're looking forward to getting our hands on, we talk the aftermath of the GoldenEye announcement and how it doesn't sound quite as exciting as first appeared along with whether or not there were enough JRPG farming sims coming to the Switch. We then do a swift deep dive into the PlayStation State of Play where we found something for everyone, including a Tekken 8 announcement and that rather glorious trailer for Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin. Oh and that God of War Ragnarok game that people seem to be excited for? Yeah, we talk about that too. We said it would be a short one, it wasn't. It never is. Ah well.

Ubisoft Forward Recap (Assassin's Creeeeeed!!) | Disney / Marvel Recap (Monkey Island!!) | Tomb Raider returns to Eidos

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Kat, Miles, Sean and Josh get into the weeks news, which is basically just jumping into the primary showcases that hit the last few days. First up we get into the first ever Disney / Marvel games showcase as part of the D23 Expo, and each pod host shares what they're excited for from the show, which is certainly a mixed bag. Sean loved it though, naturally. Talking of Sean loving games we then get into the Ubisoft Forward and talk everything you need to know about the future of Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft are going all out with the franchise and it's super exciting to see what's to come. Sean deep dives into why with a few theories and some hype for the future of the franchise. We also talk about the rest of Ubisoft Forward but let's be honest, it was all building towards Assassin's Creed and everything else was...well.Anyway! Elsewhere Kat is very excited about Tomb Raider going home to Eidos and Crystal Dynamics and all is well. And in Game of the Week Josh spent the week on the basketball court with NBA 2K23, Sean is back on his FMV trip in the wild and wonderful The Gallery, Miles has been working his way through Steelrising and Kat has been spying on the general populous in City Eye.Enjoy the ep!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!

This week on the 170th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Kat takes the reigns with Miles, Sean, Tom and Josh joining your host to talk through the games news including these rather suspiciously exciting Silent Hill 2 image leaks. The team are split on whether or not they're real but we're rather looking forward to see where this goes as Konami has begun to get a little bit louder about what's to come from them.We also get into The Last of Us Part 1 with some players receiving their fairly expensive Firefly Edition in poor conditions, with Sony not going to refund the damaged goods. Tsk. We also get into our thoughts on the remake. Also, the team gets into this weeks Cyberpunk 2077 announcement that a new showcase is incoming to show off the next batch of patches(!) and possibly some new DLC footage.

In a very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Sean, Tom, Toby and Josh get together to talk everything (literally, everything) announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022. What did we like? What did we love? What are we never going to play? What did we think was a huge waste money to spend a bunch on a pointless trailer just to get it in the show only to be completely forgotten in a week when we're still talking about all of the cool trailers that made a whole lot more sense?<br><br>All of these enormous questions are answered and much, much more including our thoughts on the overall show, why we have no real use for a Pokemon car along with a brief(ish) chat about the Destiny 2 Showcase that preceded the Showcase (Ghosts in Fortnite! Yay!)Sit back, relax. This is a long one but it's very much worth your time. In-depth and us laughing at Toby for his high brow words.

Starfield Modders Prep for Launch | Toys For Bob are Back?! | Uncomfortable Gaming Moments

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Tom get together to talk Toys for Bob, Dead Island 2 leaks and the preparation Bethesda fanboys are taking to ensure Starfield has a smooth launch by literally making mods to fix the game upon release. Yes, that is a real thing that's happening. We also talk Kat's first few hours with Cult of the Lamb, the under-the-radar greatness of Fashion Police Squad and Tom and Rossko sing the praises of Rollerdrome. There's also a Harry Potter quiz, in which we realise Kat very much took us all very seriously last week when we said we wanted to do a Harry Potter quiz. Lols.

THQ's Bright Future | Sony Blocking Games to Game Pass? | Vikings on Trampolines!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns along with the also returning Kat to talk all the weeks gaming news with Miles, Tom and Josh. What gaming news? Well, there isn't a huge amount of 'news' per se but there are a few interesting tidbits that we wanted to get into including Microsoft accusing Sony of 'blocking' games from launching on Xbox Game Pass due to some under the table dealings. Well, it's probably not that excessing but we break down what this headline really means and what it could actually be referring to in the greater gaming landscape. Should we know this is happening? Probably not, are we gonna talk the hell out of it anyway? We sure are. That's what we're here for.Elsewhere after Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel's Midnight Suns both got hefty delays this week we ask if delays really matter anymore if they're just a ploy to keep the hype train moving along or genuine ways to ensure developers don't get overworked in the lead up to release. Is a rushed game always bad? Yes it is, and we try to focus on the positives as we see two more games slip into next year. Don't worry, we find plenty. Kinda. Game of the Week showcases the likes of Two Point Campus, Devolver's latest indie darling Cult of the Lamb, spooky rogue-lite Saturnalia, the glorious Voyage and the fantastic laundy/arcade management sim Arcade Paradise.THQ's rather good Showcase is also examined as we choose our favourite game reveals from the event and what we could get excited about seeing at the newly announced 'Disney / Marvel Games Showcase' this September.The quiz also makes its triumphant return, Kat says fancy words like 'block' and Tom's life is changed forever when he discovered the existence of Squirrel With A Gun.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Miles takes the reigns as he entertains Tom, Josh and the returning Sean damn Davies to talk the weeks gaming news.First up the gang expand on Sean's recent article about the state of the PSN store. We open up the store to a bunch of shovelware and asset flip Trophy grabs, whilst full games are getting buried under these worthless experiences. Should Sony be doing more to get these games off PSN? Or are they proving successful enough to warrant their place?Elsewhere, we discuss the benefits of the new Xbox Game Pass Family Plan, currently in beta in a small number of countries but may be available in more countries soon. We're excited to share Game Pass with others but do we get where Xbox can make money from this and do they even need to? Elsewhere Miles talks about the upcoming DLC for Back 4 Blood and how he's ever-so slightly optimistic about it and of course we have talk about whatever the hell EA are doing now to double down on their 'single players are good actually' backtracking...Enjoy the ep!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 / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

We do remember that the podcast is about games so we talk whether or not we're seeing the endgame of Google Stadia and where Google went wrong along the way, even though they had the damn goods to deliver. Elsewhere there are some interesting tidbits floating around about the brand new Tomb Raider game, with Miles and Rossko both in agreement it all sounds pretty interesting following the cracking reboot trilogy. We also get into the fresh details of GTA 6 and Rockstar's much improved working conditions.There's plenty to get excited about here, along with a longer-that-it-should-be discussion about Linkin Park which, as tangents so often do with us, may lead into a brand new podcast.

Stray Review(s) | Why Are We Paying £70 For The Last of Us? | Ubisoft's Ship is Sinking.....

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns to the hosting chair alongside Kat and Miles to get deep into the weeks news and share their thoughts on this weeks games..so, um, same as ever really. This week we talk Ubisoft's rather terrible no good very bad year continues to be an absolute shit-show with a bunch of delays and cancellations leaving their release slate fairly barren for the upcoming release windows, whether or not we're ok with the full roster of MultiVersus characters costing £200 at launch(!), Naughty Dog jumping through their own hoops to release a 10-minute gameplay video for The Last of Us Part I to get a hold of the leaks that have got out there and whether or not we're still debating whether or not £70 is a justifiable price point for a near ten year old game re-release and of course with Aloy's motion capture artists returning to the studios is their Horizon Forbidden West DLC on the way? We discuss. Elsewhere we talk the games we've been playing (alongside Stray - which gets its own section and you may be surprised to hear what we actually think of it) such as Miles's time with Toy Soldiers HD and Rossko getting back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons and having an absolute blast with Hypercharge Unboxed (which he calls Hypercharge Unlocked on the podcast because he's an idiot). There's also some major recommendations and Kat returns with a 'siblings in games' quiz which will test your metal. Maybe.

Finger Guns Celebrates DYNASTY WARRIORS with Ethan Lawrence

bonus

They said it couldn't be done. We thought it would never happen. Hell, we thought they were kidding. No, we really did. But here we are. Our own Miles Thompson and his literal celebrity co-host Ethan Lawrence have actually found time in their very busy schedules to talk for nearly two and a half hours all about Koei Tecmo's gloriously over-the-top hack and slash series Dynasty Warriors.Essentially, everything you need to know about the series is included here, along with a whole lot of discussion about things that aren't all related to the series but is kept into the final cut because well, why not, something had to pad this one out.For the hardcore, Miles and Ethan get into extreme detail about the game, the novels, their legacy and their importance to gaming as a whole. Also, Ethan is topless the entire time. Of course, this is an audio medium so you won't see such things, but you're made aware fairly on. Keep that in mind as you listen, it makes it all far more sexy. Sexier than you could ever imagine two guys talk about Dynasty Warriors for nearly 150 minutes. It's quite something.You're gonna love this, don't miss it.Enjoy the ep!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 / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!
