The XboxCast

Have you joined the official Xboxcast True Achievements Leaderboard? Now is your time to shine! Kyle has played the worst game in the world. So much so that its now even on YouTube for you guys to endure. Its so bad. Like its just the worst. Arrrrgghhh... Lee has decided to PLAY ALL THE GAMES for our April Achievement Challenge - from BLOPS4 to Life is Strange. He must be feeling the pressure now. In more joyful news, Simone has The Best (TM) Stardew Valley stories to entertain us. Seriously, may she never finish this game because its just too good! Thank you all for listening! Don't forget to yell out to us on Twitter, Patreon and Facebook. We love hearing from you and would love to hear where in the world you are!

Come on down to the barber where you can get a haircut and a beer, while you play Xbox! Is he here? Only in our news stories... And our dreams. With Notre Dame tragically burning down, Assassins Creed Unity finally has a use. And that is to rebuild the iconic landmark. Phil Spencer was seen playing Destiny 2 on his one private XCloud server, Lee completely forgets about the game play charts, Xbox is making (small) waves in Japan and GamePass has become even better with the addition of Monster Hunter: World and a golf game... If you feel like being overrun by zombies, World War Z has all the ZoS (Zombies on Screen) you could ever need and Final Fantasty X and X-2 are finally on Xbox! And there was much rejoicing. Until Lee tries to explain the rules of snooker to Kyle. But Kyle is not interested due to the extremally low ZoS score.

Another week. Another #NuNews for you. And even more delicious live streams! This week Lee is disappointed in the game play charts, and Borderlands 3 looks like it is launching with crossplay! This is exciting and will be one of the first games to do so. Final Fantasy X and X-2 come to Xbox and there is even some Destiny 2 news, for those that were missing it. And to top it all off, Atari gets Lee all misty eye'd with its new console that may or may not be coming out sometime in our life time... On the new game front, we have exploding butterflies in Flutter Bombs, people getting lawyer'd in Phoenix Wright and cook your perfect burger with Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!

It may be April 1st, but there are no fools on this week's podcast! Well, maybe Lee.. Speaking of April Fools, a bunch of games are testing out "being funny" and leading the charge is Rainbow Six Siege with their Rainbow is Magic event! Everything is cute, cuddly and very, very pink. Perfect for inducing the rage you have hidden inside you. For Honor does one better and add Rabbids (those very strange rabbit creatures) into a sort of horde mode. Talk about nightmare fuel. And prepare to go back to Pandora as Borderlands 3 got announced to much fanfare and excitement! And it looks fantastic. Also rumored to be funning at native 4K on the One X. Now thats impressive. In case you have been living under a rock, The Xboxcast has kicked off the first annual April Achievement Challenge. What is that? Firstly, listen to find out. Or go to our Patreon page - all the deets are there. Come join us, and battle for eternal bragging rights. We're also trying out this whole Live Streaming thing on YouTube. But only Patrons will get access to the video afterwards. All this and more on this week's episode of #NuNews! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

This is a very confused episode of NuNews. We're so confused we even live streamed it to our YouTube channel using Lee's phone. You may want to check it out - Kyle was called the "Chris Evans of podcasting". Apart from being confused, news is very Sea of Thieves heavy, because Kyle loves it still. We go over the trusted Xbox Gameplay Chart that Lee loves, welcome two new games to BackCompat, talk about new Game Pass games and even get really excited about the new trailer for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodline 2! In even more exciting news - Final Fantasty VII is coming to the Xbox this week! Oh man, we (Kyle) can hardly contain ourselves! Lee decides to get weirdly excited about Xenon Racer, but who can blame him? All this and more on this week's episode of #NuNews! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

If you feel compelled to donate, you can do so on the Christchurch Victims Fund Give-a-little page. -- What have we been playing for the last two weeks? The answer may, or may not, surprise you! But the answer is indeed very little. It seems we have hit that part of the year where real life is taking over... But we still have some fun stories from our wonderful Game Story Master - Simone! Simone has been playing Cities: Skylines and things don't seem to be going so well... But then do they ever? Kyle and Lee harp on about how difficult The Black Armory content in Destiny 2 is. Lee has spent way too much time in Anthem for it to be healthy. Kyle is really, super duper excited, in a big way, about Satisfactory (which you so totally have to check out!) and Lee gets really bored of The Sims 4. So much so that he leaves the room. Bye Lee. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

With GDC kicking off, the news cycle is starting to kick off. Sorta. Maybe. The big news this week is of course Google Stadia - the new game streaming service from Google that runs right in your browser. Hey, we never said it was a good idea either... And all this talk of game streaming prompts more details for XCloud to come out, and so far, its looking like Microsoft and Google are gearing up for the long fight. You can now, sort of, stream games from your PC to you Xbox. Halo MCC will share progress between PC and Xbox, but is still not a Play-Anywhere title, strangely enough. Xbox Game Pass is losing 4 games, while teasing newer, updated titles to come. In the Nu part this week, prepare to die many times in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and learn how to properly pronounce Tyd Wag Vir Niemand.

The mists are starting to clear, and out of the fog appears a brand new episode of NuNews! And boy do we have news. All the news from Inside Xbox along with the random news that pops up over the week. Halo on PC! Yes, you heard that right! Halo fans can rejoice as Halo: The Master Chief Collection is making its way to PC, allowing fans to finally Finish the Fight! And it doesn't stop there, Halo: Reach is coming to The MCC too! Xbox Game Pass is getting a new addition, One Piece has a brand new game, special sound on Xbox, and more! Oh my! The launch titles should not leave a division in your mind on which ones to look forward to as The Division 2 launches. And we even get a little fancy with the beer. Sort of.

Welcome to yet another GameFace! episode. And the theme seems to have been surviving... Surviving a few weeks with not many games played that is! For some reason, our heroes have found themselves short on leisure time... Which means you get to listen to Lee talk about Destiny and Anthem for days! Kyle has decided to check out Surviving Mars after its many updates, which almost turned into a brand new game. Along with even more Mass Effect: Andromeda. Do you get a space vibe? We get a space vibe... Simone is still trying to find the Mayor's Purple Pants and serving aliens in Stardew Valley while Lee remains unimpressed with The Division 2 Beta.

Looks like we have gone to Venus to get the beer this time... NuNews for the week of March 4th and it looks like all the news is waiting for GDC which is coming at our faces very soon! Lee loves his gameplay charts, and this week nothing is causing waves. Which causes Lee to go looking at the UK Game Charts where we find Anthem is still number 1... Theres news of Xbox Game Studios acquiring yet another studio, Microsoft looking beyond consoles and Apex Legends hitting 50 million players! And a new month means new Games with Gold! A few new games have gotten us excited with this round of free games, including another original Xbox game! And of course the big release for this week is Devil May Cry 5.

NuNews for the week of February 25th. Since trying to become beer reviewers, we've had an overwhelming lack of feedback. Which clearly means everyone loves it and we shouldn't stop! This week we kick off talking about one of Kyle's favorites - Monteiths Sumer Ale. A sweeter beer that Lee tries very hard to say good things about... In the news this week, we go over Lee's beloved game chart from our friends over at TrueAchievements.com, get super excited about Final Fantasty coming to Xbox in glorious 60FPS and speculate about Game Pass coming to the Switch. In fact, Game Pass looks like it could be coming to any internet connected device. Are you ready to play Skyrim on your smart fridge? Halo on your dishwasher? Cuphead on your phone? Actually, that would be a great fit... For the new games this week, Kyle actually did some research! Can you believe it? Because we can't... From defending the universe in 8 Bit Invaders, to taking over the universe in Stellaris, we have the games you need to know about.

GAMEFACE! Remember our "What Have We Been Playing?" section? Or our "Games Played This Week"? Or as Lee put it "So what have you been playing Kyle?" No? Ok, never mind! Onwards. Strap in for this episode, as the entire Xboxcast have managed to find themselves addicted (or at least playing excessively) Rocket League! From Kyle driving into Lee, to Lee swearing at Kyle, and Simone yelling at everyone, much fun was had and we even have proof on Mixer! Simone is still struggling to satisfy the aliens in Stardew Valley (I thought this was a farming game?), Kyle and Lee did their first Destiny Nightfall together - which is a cause for celebration, and Lee has even played the indie game of the year - Celeste. What did he think about it? You'll just have to listen to find out. All this and more on this episode of GameFace! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Thats for all the Nu games coming out (or have come out) for the week! And together we have Nu News!

Joining us today is Marc from Red Scar Publishing which is publishing a tabletop RPG and a board game called Devil's Run - Mad Max meets dice rolling. And he has even won an ENnie! We are in the presence of greatness. We get hyped about The Outer Worlds, and other Game Awards announcements, before putting Marc on the spot and asking him all the odd and strange questions. From getting Marc to explain a lot about Devil's Run and why its set up to use a 2d20 system. But our questions don't end there! With Marc being an old friend of Lee, we learn all about Murphs Peanut Church. Which, maybe we should have cut. But we didnt. So enjoy!

Its the last official episode for The Xboxcast, and since everyone else is doing it, we will do it too! Presenting The Xboxcast's Game Awards for 2018. How exciting is this? Answer: its very exciting. Like any typical award show, the categories are made up and the points don't matter. With that in mind we don't have a clear winner or loser, or even nominations. We go purely by personal preference. Because that way, we can't be wrong! Its a complete win-win situation. The categories we have chosen to talk about for our award show this year are... (drum roll please) - Biggest surprise of 2018 - Best story - Best (or biggest) time sink (any guesses for Lee's answer?) - Best looking (because who doesn't like eye candy?) - Best multiplayer game - Best score - Best mobile game (because sometimes we do game on the go) - Your holiday game (we all have that one in our backlog) - What are you looking forward to in 2019 - Our honorable mention list (we all have those great games that didn't make the cut) - Anti Game of the Year And finally - Game of the Year 2018 as decided by each of us Reminder: These are the games that we played this year and not the games that came out this year... Thank you guys for listening. Its been a pleasure to have you along for the ride! We hope to see you all in 2019 with even better, funnier and many more stories about our gaming adventures. Or lack thereof. Until then, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We'll see you on Xbox Live! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

We have a podcast, and we think its awesome. Spyro is back, in a fantastic remaster, and Simone has gone all hands on with it! Does he fly the same? Is he the same colour? Whats the airspeed of an unlaiden swallow? She knows the answers to all these and more! Lee tries his hand at Ducati 90th Anniversary and finds two wheels less impressive than four, while Kyle tries to stream The Solus Project and have it fail misseribly (but its still up if you want to see what went wrong!) Lee was also alone when he tried Thomas is Alone - a game about sentient blocks. Its a lot more entertaining than it sounds, trust us. For the exciting news, Microsoft have given their new studios what seems like an unlimited budget to realize their wildest dreams and make the game they have always wanted to make. If that doesn't get you excited, nothing will! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

With the internet having a meltdown, and everyone else suffering from the fallout, we have arrived to bring some much needed perspective into your lives. Nothing is as bad as it seems, not even Lee's face. Simone is away, so what better time to rope Paul on and have him tell us about Fallout 76. From what he thinks, to how hes found some bugs and even some cool environmental storytelling - Paul does a great job of making Fallout 76 sound like it belongs in the fallout universe. Remember to tell us what you guys think. Is Paul off the mark, or is the internet just its usual, whiny self? Lee plays a lot of games. Like a lot a lot. Like just when you think it shouldn't be possible for a working man to play so many games, Lee plays one more. We're not even angry, we're impressed. The Turning Test shows Lee what we all suspected, Grip doesn't hold Lee's attention, Unravel makes him come apart at the seams and of course there is some Destiny and Forza Horizon 4 to add some variety. Farming Simulator 19 has us all excited to play this week. Its not a joke. Farming co-op with your friends sounds amazing. And there is a little game called Battlefield V that was released this week. For some news, we talk about the Xbox diskless rumor and why its a good idea, PixARK is free and the backCompat team show us how far they can go technologically with the release of Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox One! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Do you like the new news, like Lee likes the nu-news? Well you're in luck! This episode is news from start to finish. Everything Xbox announced at XO18 is discussed and dissected by our panel of judges - those being Kyle and Lee of course. XO18 took place in Mexico City and was chockfull of announcements - from new studios joining the Microsoft family, to updates and expansions for existing games, and even a bucket load of games coming to Game Pass. We even take a deepish dive into the tech behind Crackdown 3 and what it means for the future of Xbox and gaming. Also, remember to take a photo of you gaming with a buddy and hashtag it #GiveWithXbox! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

And now for something, completely the same. Exactly the same, except Lee has decided to play *all* the games! From Battlefield 1 to Fallout 4, Gears of War to Fallout 76. And almost everything in-between. We hear Lee's trepidation at Fallout 76, and who can blame him? Kyle wonders how Sea of Thieves remains so vague with their quest giving, but still gets so excited about Gears of War 4. For new games, we get a Grip on Hitman 2, MechaNika and Scalextrix. So many new games this week! Steel Rats tries to take the title for the most buzz words used in a game description. Big game news was teased for XO18 and we are beyond hyped! And Red Dead has earned all the money in the world. Thats it. No more money. We can all go home... -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Better late than never, right? This is out Shocktober But For Realsies episode. Or at least it would have been, if the game devs decided to come out and play. In stead, its a pretty normal week with only two 'scary' games launching, and most Halloween themed things taking place in games... Joined by our spare warm corpse, Jeremy (due to Lee being slack), Simone is back at Red Dead Redemption (the first one) and she entertains us with some fantastic stories. And Kyle has a horror story about his Xbox One X... This is our very normal, Halloween episode, that might not be very Halloween-y. But who cares, because we still have fun!

Simone's inner cowboy has come out, and his name - John Marston. Thats right - Read Dead Redemption 2 has come out, so we're celebrating the best way working gamers do - by playing through our backlog. It just happens that Red Dead Redemption is the one Simone is enjoying at the moment! And since we're so close to Halloween, we have a very normal Shocktober Episode for you here. To keep with the theme (and because as the memo writer, he's the only one to get the memo...) Kyle played Manual Samuel - a fantastic little game that's on Game Pass at the moment. We go over the few games that have decided to come out on the same week as RDR2, those brave souls. In the news, Kyle goes on a rant about the new avatars, Game Pass gets some Halloween themed games, The Orange Box gets a 4K makeover on the One X and Battlefield 5 lets you play as a Nazi? Whaaa? All this, and more on this weeks episode of The Xboxcast. -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Simone is being slack. So lets talk to Jeremy! And what should we talk about? I am glad you asked. Forza Horizon 4! Its not like any other games exist right about now... We dive into some cool Forza stats, and spend way to long going on about the drifitng and the sound of crashing into the walls. Its great! And then as per usual, its new games, some gaming news - like For Honor getting a really pretty graphics update - and giving Jeremy a very hard time. But don't worry.

In case you haven't heard, Warface is coming to Xbox One... After coming to Xbox 360 in 2013. Its ok, we don't understand either. Simone is still Red Deading it up, Lee has finished the Forsaken story, and all three of us are still only slightly obsessed with Forza Horizon 4. Call of Duty: Black Ops Quadruple I is here to crush what remains of PUBG, and it brings a heap of ID@Xbox friends along. There really is something for everyone this week. What has really gotten us excited this week is the news of Project xCloud - the new game streaming project Microsoft announced. We talk the possible tech behind this and what ot means for the game industry while rumors of Obsidian being sold to Microsoft are flying about. And to add a cheery to the tip of this wek - Forza Horizon 4 is the fastest selling game of the series so far! (You really should be playing it buy now!) -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

With the smell of petrol in the air, and the arrival of cars that cost more than your house, we can safely assume its Forza season! Thats right, Forza Horizon 4 has arrived, and its even on GamePass on Day 1! You have no excuse for not playing it.

No more fancy intros. Nothing different about the hosts. This is a 100% normal episode. There is nothing to be afraid of. Have you heard of Abzu? Well you will now. Its on GamePass so you have no excuse for not playing. On a completely unrelated note, guess what Kyle has been playing? Lee, of course has been playing Destiny 2 Forsaken - shout out to Northstar for adopting us into their clan! This week we have a ton of games that will, have, or are about to launch. Dakar 18, Fifa 19, Valkyria Chronicles 4 and this little indoe racing game - Forza Horizon 4. Well Forza for the people who pre-ordered. The rest of us have to wait till next week. We are so hyped for this game! In the news, we have exciting new games coming to GamePass with Wolfenstein and Metro 2033! Mouse and keyboard support is headed to the land of Xbox. Not top sure how to feel about this one... And of course, all the Destiny news you can handle... Thanks Lee! -- If you liked this episode, don't feel ashamed.

Are you ready for some news? Because thats all we're doing in this one! Oh, and Lee has played a little indie game, not sure you'll ever hear of it - Call of Duty: Black Ops 4! Final Fantasy's are coming to Xbox, and we couldn't be happier! If you ask us, its about time. We can't wait to dive into 7, 9 and 10 all over again. Sorry 8, but you're a bit late to this party. PUBG was broken, and then fixed, and then fixed some more in what turns out to be a rollercoaster of emotions. Alexa is now friends with Cortana, which is sweet, even if a little wrong. And we know someone who will be over the moon to hear the Lego Harry Potter is coming to Xbox as well! But we all know what you're here for - and thats Lee's Blackout Beta Review! Listen to what he says about the new Call of Duty, and why PUBG should be worried. Very worried.

Do dinosaurs eat brussel sprouts? We try to find out! Simone is having a hard time with driving a horse and shooting the bad guys in Red Dead Redemption. And dating more pigeons.

And everyone is still being amazed at the beauty of Star Wars Battlefront 2. In the news, PUBG gets achievements, Forza Horizon 4 releases its achievements and Gears of War 4 is getting ready for its final achievements... To remember all of that is quite an achievement! We have 20 new games on Xbox releasing this week, and Simone goes through most of them. But the best news to come out of this week - Henry Cavill is going to be Geralt - The Witcher - in a new Netflix series! -- If you like this episode, don't feel ashamed.

This here is a very special episode. For you see, its our 50th episode ever! What? We never did any beta episodes. No idea what you're talking about. Anyways! This time we start off a bitt differently. The format is undergoing a revision, so please let us know what you think. Kyle plays Sea of Thieves, becomes a drug addict in Fallout 4 and tells some really awesome jokes. Simone talks to us about Quantum Break and the amazing end boss fight. Lee... Lee has been driving cars. Not real cars. Forza Horizon cars. To be honest, we're starting to get a bit worried. In the news, Sea of Thieves hits 5 million players, Xbox Game Pass gets an annual subscription and over 9 million people have joined Lee in their car hobby as Forza Horizon 3 announces its player base numbers.

Fortnite took up 20% of all internet traffic in New Zealand? Say what? For new games, we have a big one - No Man's Sky lands on Xbox with its NEXT update and the screenshots being shared on Twitter make it look amazing. We can't ait to jump in to what looks like a properly finished game. And Train Sim World opens up the Northeast Coridor. We think thats where the posh people are.

A year ago, we came together to talk about games. Who would have thought we'd still be doing this? Not us, thats who! But here we are, officially one year old! And what better way to celebrate, than to eat cake while trying talk... Well that and have a look back at our very first episode - Episode Numero Uno. From the news of yesteryear, to what we were playing back then and then even a bit of introspection where Kyle asks everyone how happy they are to be seeing his face every week, this episode has it all.

Chris Pratt riding a T-Rex and saving the world is the brand new franchise that you never knew you needed. Until now! So while that happens, we stop everything to completely go gaga for State of Decay 2. Seriously, no other game exists for The Xboxcast any more. We're all playing it, and you totally should to. In fact we even get Jeremy to join us and talk about his adventures in the zombie wasteland. Fortnite gets sued by PUBG, more dinosaurs get shown off for Jurassic World Evolution and even the Xbox 360 gets some love with its first system update in 2 years. Probably updating its privacy policy... Which reminds us... New games have decided to become wacky this week with Birdcakes, Zamb! Redux and Yuki's Island Express to name a few.

Sarcasm. Its that thing that you never expect. Unless, of course, you do. In that case, its not unexpected. This week, Kyle and Simone are back, and we are almost back to normal programing. We talk about Apple giving all the 3.5 jacks to Microsoft for use in their new Xbox Adaptive Controller, more titles leaving Game Pass and Fortnite getting $100 million for its foray into e-sports. Its also no smooth sailing for Sea of Thieves. Also, did you know Australia bans games? We have a list! Our new games list is certainly not backwards, or decaying, as we cover State of Decay 2, I Hate Running Backwards and oOo: Ascension amongst others. And for a special segment this week, lets get that E3 hype train going! Only a few days stand between us and Phil on the Xbox stage.
