With that, Matty, Karak, and Dustin sweep through a week of mayhem and round up the best and worst it had to offer!

What The Hell Is Happening At Ubisoft? - H.A.M. Radio Podcast Episode #304 May 23, 2021

Show notes

It's the pre-E3 drought. Matty, Karak, and Dustin roam the desert in search of anything to discuss and, suddenly, Ubisoft and Bethesda appear! Starting with Ubisoft, it appears that the sexual misconduct allegations revealed last year hasn't seen the strong change that was demanded of both consumers and the internal workers. Another report has came up and spawned a trending hashtag #HoldUbisoftAccountable which is receiving mounting attention as it should. We have spoken positively on the show about our generally positive interactions with the company, but the notion of Ubisoft's free pass must be discussed. On the Bethesda side of things, Starfield rumors aplenty! Jason Schreier provided further clarification on his comments, stating it's possible that those who had reported 2021 heard from Microsoft sources while he was in contact with Bethesda. What do this mean for Starfield? We dive in! Oh, and poop stories. Hey, you asked.

Show notes

PlayStation has enjoyed a strong week. Announcing their commitment to exclusives is one thing, but following that up with Returnal and a beautiful showing of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart has the displayed their undeniable ability to win fans over with their jaw dropping presentation.

What Will PlayStation's Response To Xbox Game Pass Be? - H.A.M. Radio Podcast Episode #298 Apr 11, 2021

Show notes

Last week, we labeled our episode around PlayStation and Xbox marching in opposite directions. After today's reporting, that could not be more clear. A report from Bloomberg has stated the niche days of PlayStation are over and they care only for the big guns. Even moderate successes like Days Gone from Bend Studio are being folded into the operations over at Naughty Dog for multiplayer efforts. As PlayStation whittles down their offerings to highly refined AAA exclusives, you can't help but ask "What are they doing?" As more rumbles occur involving PlayStation Game Pass, the trio digs into what a potential competitor could look like. In other news, Deathloop is delayed, Kojima may be joining up with Xbox, and Matty ate a ton of fake crab. That and, of course, much for you to enjoy in this episode!
