Far Cry developer interview! Also, the games of February (Digitally Uploaded 2019, Episode #3)

We've got something pretty neat in the podcast this week; an interview with the lead narrative designer on Ubisoft's upcoming Far Cry New Dawn. We chat about the game's themes and how the narrative was structured. Have a listen!

Also this week we look at all the interesting-looking releases that are coming in February (there's a lot), and, in light of how impressive Resident Evil 2's recent remake is, we also chat about the games we'd love to see get the remake treatment.

Thanks as always for tuning in, and look forward to next week's podcast!

EA is terrible with Star Wars. Also SNEs games on Nintendo Switch (Digitally Uploaded 2019, Episode #2)

With the recent news that EA is dropping a large-scale open world Star Wars game, we look at how poorly the publisher has handled its Star Wars license, since gaining exclusive rights to it from Disney almost a decade ago.

We also talk about the pressing need for Nintendo to expand its subscriber-only "NES Virtual Console" by adding games from the SNES (and other consoles). Finally, we chat about some of the visual novels that we've been playing.

Thanks as always for tuning in, let us know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see on the podcast, and see you next week!

Welcome to 2019! All the big games we're looking forward to, and Dead or Alive!

We're back for 2019! Our first podcast of the year looks at all the great games that are releasing in January (there really are a lot), as well as the stuff we're looking forward to for the rest of the year.

And we also chat about Dead or Alive 6. Because of course we're going to talk about Dead of Alive. What a fighting game that's going to be.

We look forward to having you as listeners through the year. If you have any requests for topics to discuss, features on the podcast, and so on, please don't hesitate to let us know! In the meantime, catch us on our Twitter to say hi:

It's the final episode of 2018! (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #45)

This is the final episode of 2018! We look back at the good, bad, and ugly of the year, and reflect on all the awesome games that we got to play.

Don't worry, we'll be back in 2019, which is already shaping up to be a truly amazing year for games in itself. Thanks for tuning in over the year, everyone! We hope you had fun and laughed along with us, and we were interesting at times too. We'll be back in the New Year! In the meantime, let us know what you thought of the show this year, what you'd like to see in the episodes ahead, and, most importantly, have an awesome Christmas!

Smash Bros and all the exciting announcements from The Game Awards (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #44)

While the awards themselves are junk (giving God of War "Game of the Year" is like giving The Avengers the Academy Award for best film), one good thing about The Game Awards is how many publishers now use it to announce new game projects, and we've got plenty of that to talk about this week in the podcast.

Additionally, it is Smash Bros. week! We talk about the latest instalment in Nintendo's mega-franchise.

Thanks as always for tuning in, and feel free to chat with us on Twitter if you'd like!

The Māori come to Civilization VI, Persona dancing, and Christmas! (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #43)

December's meant to be the quiet period, but you wouldn't be able to tell, from all the big releases that are coming out, or just around the corner.

This week we chat about the incredible news that the Māori are coming to Civilization VI, and we discuss an interview that Matt had with the development leads on that project. We also talk about just how awesome the Persona dancing games are (they're really awesome), and finally we discuss the ideal Christmas gifts to get the gamer in every family.

Grab us on Twitter, and we'll see you next week!

The games of December, and Darksiders 3! (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #42)

First up, apologies for the slightly shorter podcast this week. We had some technical issues that prevented us from recording the last third that we had planned.

On the plus side, we've got plenty of great stuff to chat about this week! First off, we look at all the game releases for December. For a month of the year in which no much is meant to happen... there's a lot happening in December. A lot.

We also chat about Darksiders III, which is one of the last really big releases for the year. What a couple of months is has been... but wow is Darksiders III a great way to cap the busy season off.

Thanks as always for tuning in, and catch us on social media!

Pokemon, No Sony at E3, and game awards! (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #41)

It's that time of year again! The end of the year brings the inevitable game awards, so we take this opportunity to discuss those awards, and intro DDNet's own awards coming up in a few weeks.

We also talk about the big news that Sony is skipping E3 completely next year - what that means for Sony, and E3 itself. Finally, with last week bringing us a brand new Pokemon title, we discuss the latest in the never-ending world-wide phenomenon.

Final Fantasy XV's sad news, and the ridiculous response to Diablo! (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #40)

Last week brought the sad news that Final Fantasy XV - a game that we at DDNet have enjoyed a great deal - is being wound up, with a number of the planned DLC add-ons now never going to see the light of day.

We also talk about the response to the news of the Diablo mobile game, which has gone some truly ridiculous places. Then, to finish, we talk about one of the most stunning artistic games to have been released in recent years, 11-11: Memories Retold.

Thanks for listening, and catch us on Twitter!

Rhythm games, Ghost of Tsushima, and retro collections! (Digitally Uploaded 2018, Episode #39)

We've got a mix of stuff to talk about this week! From our thoughts on the information that's come out about Ghost of Tsushima, including an interview that went up on Gamesindustry.biz last week, to the unending stream of retro collections that we're getting these days, and then rhythm games, because Taiko just released, and Taiko's just the best.

Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next week!
