The Game Awards 2024 Nominations

This week we discuss the big news that Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation this year. What does this mean for Xbox owners? Will it be cross-progression? How does this affect PlayStation as a whole? Xbox's live service games are seemingly dropping elsewhere one by one, will this fill the gap PlayStation has cleared after cancelling theirs? We ponder a fair few questions with what could come next. In Game of the Week, Josh has been playing Citizen Sleeper 2 and replaying Cyberpunk 2077 for the eighth(!) time, Kat has been having a right laugh playing the new Jackbox collection, Rossko has been playing Elden Ring, yeah we can't believe it either and Miles can finally talk about the month he's had playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2Hey if you like our podcast why not leave us a review?!

This week on the pod - the podcast we weren't going to do but hey! Here we are, gosh aren't you lucky - Rossko and Kat have a date night talking all about video game news. Erm, there isn't much so we end up talking what trailers we may expect to see at The Game Awards this year and debate if Keighley now has enough pull to get a GTA VI trailer for the show..Talking of GTA, Kat and Rossko debate their GTA VI wishlists and why publishers are scared to announce dates for their games because they don't want GTA to trample on them. But why? We debate having faith in your product against fighting against the Goliaths. In Game of the Week Kat has been playing a fair bit of Among Us and jumping back into her game of the year I Am Future whilst Rossko has cracking whips in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the cosy yet overwhelming Overthrown, currently in early access. Oh, and he's shared an update about his experience with Spyro The Reignited Trilogy. Hey if you like our podcast why not leave us a review?!
