In terms of news, it's been kind of a quiet week. But in terms of video games? It's been incredible! We talk through plenty of the latest releases, and cover the latest topics the industry has generated! It's the DayOne Show Episode 310! Where to start? Well, let's kick things off with our review of REPLACED, a new cyberpunk 2.5D action side scroller with an old school pixel art-style that is absolutely stunning in motion. It's got a few rough edges, but it's finally out on Xbox, PC and Game Pass. Jesse swooped in this week with not one but two reviews for the other big games dropping this week for players. First up, we have Capcom's latest IP, the utterly gorgeous Pragmata, which is out now on consoles and PC. Suffice to say, we're really loving it, and Jesse gave it a lot of high praise. Jesse also really enjoyed MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, a new black and white noir-cartoon boomer shooter that's surprisingly deep. It's quirky, funny and full of cheese - and that's just the great jokes! You can check out his review right here. Beyond that, we've also all been playing a bunch of Gunboat God, a gorgeous side scrolling shooter with a unique art style. The lovely Aarsal has released his review on Hades 2 which is now available on Xbox, PlayStation and Game Pass. We've got a new Members Only look at Minos, and there's a preview for a new quirky puzzle game called Yerba Buena, which lets you apply different properties to the game environment. It's pretty clever! Outside of all the games we've been playing, there has been a few news topics to dive into this week. Xbox came into the headlines thanks to a new report from The Verge that leaked an internal memo. Here, Asha Sharma shared that she felt Game Pass was 'too expensive', and suggests it's being revisited. Not only that, a later report suggests that even a 1st party only game pass tier is possibly on the cards.Elsewhere, Matt Booty appeared on the Official Xbox Podcast to talk about the Xbox June Showcase, internal team co-operation and that the Gears of War E:Day Direct is thirty minutes long, which is exciting to hear. Oh, and the Gears of War movie at Netflix is officially happening, so that's nice. We also got afirst look at Metro 2039 from 4A Games, and it looks horrific (and pretty!).Tons more besides, so jump in and enjoy the show!

A quieter week in video games, but that doesn't stop us getting together to chat about everything that's gone down this week in the DayOne Show Episode 309! Before we dig into the news, we've sure been playing a lot of video games, and kicked things off this week with a review of People of Note, which I didn't really enjoy. Thankfully, I followed it up with a shiny Forza Horizon 6 preview. I got to tour Japan in full, and took a deep look at the game, which comes next month! For our members, there's a special 45 minutes extended look, if you're keen.Jesse released his review for Samson, which unfortunately launched in a pretty rough state, at least according to his review of this new mini-open world crime game.In news, it was unusually quiet, but we still got to dive into a number of topics, from State of Decay 3 and it's newly announced Alpha tests and the apparent release date leak for Halo Campaign Evolved. In other news, Xbox had some new updates for Achievements at long last, and the triple-i initiative had a really good showcase, with a lot of fantastic games.All this and more this week, alongside your community questions, so jump in!

Another crazy week in video games! An Xbox Games Showcase is now locked in, and FanFests make a triumphant return with a worldwide tour. We chat through it all in the DayOne Show Episode 308. Before we dig into the new, we of course have to touch on all the fantastic video games we've been playing! I reviewed Darwin's Paradox!, a new puzzle platformer from ZDT Studios and Konami. I've also been checking out smaller title like Raccoin and Gunboat God and I'm previewing Forza Horizon 6 - more on that next week!Nick played and reviewed Super Meat Boy 3D, which has been a fun and incredibly frustrating time. Jesse reviewed and was subsequently delighted by the fantastic metroidvania Grime II, which is available now if you want to check it out. We also want to extend a big thank you to the community and everyone that joined us for our DayOne Spring Subathon, which saw us make a significant dent in our fundraising goals for the year, and a ton of new members via our new site memberships. You guys rock! In news, it's been a very Xbox focused week, with the Xbox Games Showcase announced and a Gears of War: E-Day Direct attached for good measure. In welcome news, Xbox FanFest is coming back, and even better is going on a world tour that sees the event expand to multiple locations this year. Hell, there's even an Xbox/Fanta collab this year. In other news, State of Decay 3 made a surprise Alpha announcement, and revealed new details in a YouTube interview. EIDOS Montreal suffered layoffs again, and the US Patent office rejected Nintendo's claim on 'summoning a character and letting it fight for you.' SHIFTUP acquired UNBOUND, Shinji Mikami’s new studio and Jason Blundell revealed his third new studio after Sony closed his last one.

When it comes time to write these shows up every Sunday, I feel like it's a miracle when it's been a quiet week - but not this time! Once again, the games industry is moving fast! We've got the Xbox Partner Preview, a more expensive PlayStation and a brand new Starfox game to discuss! All this and more in the DayOne Show, Episode 307! As always, we kick off the show talking video games, and Screamer kicked things off to start the week with a surprisingly refreshing take on an arcade racer - though not all of the panel agreed the direction Milestone took was the right one.Elsewhere, the team checked out Absolum, a gorgeous side-scroller roguellite beat'em up from Dotemu, along with Easy Delivery Co a short, quirky adventure with PS1 style graphics. Both are available on now on Xbox Game Pass. We've also been playing lots of games we can't quite talk about yet, but we can assure you there are a fair number of reviews dropping this coming week for lots of video games. One we can talk about is Ghost of Yotei, which Jesse's been playing on his brand new PlayStation 5 Pro because he makes reckless financial decisions...or does he? As it turns out, perhaps now was the time to pick one up, as Sony announced another price increase for the family of PlayStation 5 devices - including the Pro and Portal - and they shut down another studio too. Following a surprise Minecraft Dungeons 2 announcement on last week, Xbox have had their Partner Preview, and wowed us with 19 games, 14 of which are going to be day one on Xbox Game Pass - the list includes some serious heavy hitters, from RGG Studio's new IP, 'Stranger Than Heaven', Owlcat's 'The Expanse: Osiris Reborn' and Xbox releases for things like Hades 2 and Dispatch. Epic Games made headlines this week when they laid off over a thousand employees, due to what they called a 'declining' Fortnite player base and Nintendo not only reportedly cut back on Switch 2 production, but also raised physical prices in the US to match the rest of the world. Don't worry, no-one will stay mad for long - they're reportedly making a new Starfox game and a Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. All this and more of course, in The DayOne Show Episode 307!

Another week, another deluge of awesome video games and hot topics to discuss. From big releases like Crimson Desert to the 'Yassification' of all our video games, we get into all the drama in the DayOne Show Episode 306! We're joined this week by the lovely MVG, who once again joins the panel to talk about the latest goings on. First up, video games! Jesse finally released his Crimson Desert review, and the game is now out for everyone worldwide - though there are a host of issues and hiccups folks are assuredly contending with. I've released a lengthy preview for Capcom's Pragmata, taking on New York in a couple of hours of gameplay while I was at GDC earlier this month. MVG has been enjoying Resident Evil Reqiuem - he's on his third playthrough - and Nick is...playing Fortnite. In news, we kick things off with the discussion around Xbox One, and how the big console from 2013 has finally been hacked - only took 13 years! We also get MVG's take on Project Helix and the challenges Microsoft face in making that hybrid system a reality.Other big topics this week are a of course the 'Yassification' of all our video games thanks to NVIDIA DLSS 5,. which was shown off this week. It earned a fair amount of criticism - with content creators coming under fire. The gaming community was also up in arms about whether it's good or bad. Other big news topics saw Starfield finally come to PS5, so I'm collecting my flowers. We have a preview of both the Free Lanes and Terran Armada updates, if you're keen.Krafton are back in the news, with a judge siding with the then fired CEO and reinstating him. Definitely one of the crazier stories this week. Xbox Game Pass have announced their second wave for March, with Absolum coming for Ultimate subscribers. Xbox also announced new features for console users, and hell - there's a bunch of other things we disc
