Episode 240 | "A New Challenger Approaches!" Dec 10, 2024

Show notes

What a week in video games it's been! Indiana Jones and Marvel Rivals have arrived, and the podcast crew kick back to discuss it all in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 240!

Bit of an unusual episode this week! The UK is being battered by a large storm, and Jesse and Nick were a bit amused as Jon experienced a power cut as soon as the show went live. He managed to stick around via mobile to talk about Indiana Jones and Marvel Rivals, which both released this week.

Indiana Jones is fantastic, and both Nick and Jesse are pretty keen on Marvel Rivals. Jesse reviewed the new TV series "Secret Level" and The Game Awards gets some 'predictions' from Nick.

Episode 239 | "End of a PlayStation Era" Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

This week despite having a plan (or at least the workings of one) to talk about all the latest in gaming news, the team ended up on a bit of a tangent. Buckle up for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 239 - it's a long one!

This week, Jon, Nick and Jesse are joined by Gareth Williams, co-founder of Press Engine. While we had plans to talk about the legendary Shuhei Yoshida moving on from 31 years at Sony, we got a little...side-tracked.

What followed was a wide-ranging conversation about Gareth's beginnings in the industry, what to do if you're starting out covering video games and the importance of indies and game discovery.

We also talk at length about handhelds, the gaming media, the industry itself and of course, lots of questions from our wonderful Patreon community. Oh and yes, I'm playing Indiana Jones.

Episode 238 | Avowed, STALKER 2, Flight Sim 2024 and more! Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

Another weekend passes us by, and of course another week of the insanity that is the video game industry. Sit back and unwind as we break it all down in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 238!

Join Jon, Nick and Jesse as we break down all the latest in video games from across the industry! Avowed got some pretty great looking previews, but we weren't invited and are definitely not bitter about it at all.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 got off to a very rocky start, but seems to have sorted itself out now and folks are touring the entire planet in various flying machines.

But many others are stepping into the zone for the first time, as they wrangle with the massive world of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which while getting a mixed reception from video game critics, has sold over a million copies, with many more folks playing via Xbox Game Pass.

Oh, and Sony might be buying the parent company of FromSoftware. So that's fun.

All this and more, so jump in!

Phil Spencer has been on tour and shared some tidbits on new hardware and the removal of red lines when it comes to Xbox franchises going elsewhere. South of Midnight looks incrediblein a new documentary, and Avowed gets a fancy steelbook edition with 5 days early access included.

Oh, and everything is an Xbox now. Even you. Especially us. Is it all about the ecosystem now? Jon thinks so.

Jon, Jesse and Nick are back this week to discuss all things gaming with special guest Taylor Lyles, ex-IGN Journalist and tech enthusiast. On this episode, they break down what they've been playing, from Metal Slug Tactics to our Towerborne and Halo Infinite previews.

They also spend some time on all the news from this week, from the surprise appearance of Death Stranding on Xbox Series consoles, the return of the original Gear of War voice cast for Gears of War: E-Day and more.

Join Sik, Nick, and Jesse as they break down all the latest in gaming news from across the industry and Jesse is streaming for 12+ hours to raise money for ExtraLife, and we smashed all our targets with other $2000 raised before we even started the show.

Perfect Dark has a new Creative Director, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle previews incredibly well and Dragon Age: The Veilguard received a perfect score from us (and others!), and no-one is mad about that at all, right?

Nick is out for the week, so Jon, Jesse and the lovely Aarsal get together to discuss all the latest in gaming this week.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is here and it's actually pretty great! Xbox have teamed up with MtnDew like it's 2007 and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is not going to get a sequel...at least for now!

Episode 232 | "Halo is UNREAL" Oct 13, 2024

Show notes

Another week, another collection of topics to break down and discuss! It's time to get comfy and join Jon, Nick and Jesse for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 232!

It's been a crazy week to be fair. We saw brand new Nintendo hardware, with the announce of 'Alarmo', a (frankly) god awful alarm clock filled to the brim with annoying Nintendo sounds.

We've also played a ton of games, from the excellent Inscryption (which just arrived on Xbox Game Pass) to Metaphor: ReFantazio, which garnered critical acclaim.

The banner topic though? Halo. The venerable Xbox franchise surprised everyone to start the week with the announce of 343 rebranding to "Halo Studios" and that they're doing away with the aging 'BLAM!' engine that powered Halo since the start.

Now it's all about Unreal Engine 5, and hoo-boy, it looks gorgeous. All of this and more, so Jump in!

Episode 231 | "Promise or Fantasy?" Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

Another week, and honestly, a relatively quiet one for news, but that didn't stop the crew getting together for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 231 to discuss all the latest in video games.

This week, Square Enix flat out states that they want Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox, and people are apparently shocked at the news! People also get real mad if you like Starfield as Shattered Space Reviews are out in the wild.

That's not the only game that got a big expansion - Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred is coming too, and we talk through all the games, the reviews and the news.

We also want to thank all our new Patrons for their support - you guys make everything we do possible, and we really appreciate it. Join the growing army via patreon.com/xboxera

So get comfy, and join Sik, Nick, and Jesse for the XboxEra Podcast Episode 231!

As always, if you do listen to us on Spotify, Amazon or Apple Music, consider leaving us a nice review - we sure do appreciate it!
