From Sausage Sports Club to Dishonored 2, via the NES Classic Nov 12, 2016

Show notes

Dishonored 2, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the NES Classic and whether we can actually spot a 4K game on PS4 Pro without anyone actually telling us it's doing anything different first. We also talk about the awesome indie games that were on show at the Day of the Devs event last weekend in San Francisco, including Moblets, Gang Beasts, Spy Party, and the unforgettable Sausage Sports Club.

What do you call the "player" in virtual reality? Nov 04, 2016

Show notes

This week John Davison, Simon Cox and Rachel Weber are joined by Cy Wise from virtual reality game developer Owlchemy Labs (Job Simulator, Rick & Morty Simulator) to chat about some of the weird stuff designers have to think about when making VR games. How do you stop people falling over? Why is elbow tracking important? Plus, we ponder the really important questions like - what do you call someone that's actually in VR? Are they a player? A user? A participant? A VRgonaut?

Also: We enthuse about Titanfall 2 (again) and needlessly grumble about Sony's shoddy PlayStation Pro packaging.

What's the deal with Bethesda and reviews? Is Titanfall 2 a contender for game of the year? Does Switch have a touchscreen? Perhaps most importantly, what's with Simon and staring at stones?
