It’s a new look, and a new week to talk about video games – and there sure are a lot of them on the way! I’m aware we’re cheating the count a little here, but this is the DayOne Podcast Episode 301!
This week, I’ve been at DICE in Las Vegas but we’ve still managed to play plenty and of course bring you all the latest reviews. I checked out REANIMAL, which is a mesmerizing experience, so much so that I had to reach out to the developers for a chat once I’d rolled credits. Jesse was hard at work on the review for High on Life 2, which we’ve all been playing once it launched into Xbox Game Pass.
Elsewhere in gaming news, we announced a big rebrand, which saw most folks take the news pretty well. Gyozo went to London to go hand on with Milestone’s new racer Screamer, which had a big gameplay overview reveal. The biggest news was of course, Sony’s new State of Play which saw a bevvy of cool game announcements and updates.
All of this, plus your community questions in the DayOne Podcast Episode 301! Jump in and say hello!
