What an absolutely crazy week in video games - and honestly, not really in a good way. Yes, we got Grand Theft Auto VI details, and the Steam Machine was finally dated, but everything else was not so great. Let's get into it in The DayOne Show Episode 320!
Jon, Jesse and even Nick - who tunes in to join us from his holiday in Greece - break down all this week's new, but before that as always, we dive into what we've been playing. Y'know, the fun thing that we're all here for.
We've got a review from Nick on Nintendo's Star Fox, available now exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 - and hey, it's pretty good if you like Star Fox 64! Fingers crossed we see more from the franchise. Elsewhere, Jon dived into a ton of new Steam Next Fest demos, and came away with some more games to play this year. Jesse has been on a run of different games this week across reviews and previews.
From the brine-punk world of Abyssus, rebuilding houses in House Flipper Remastered, making the enemy pay in Devil May Cry 5 on Switch 2 or taking on the world in Dark Scrolls, there's sort of something for everyone.
On the preview front, Jesse checked out a couple of levels in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, amd the lovely Kat played an hour of Star Wars Galactic Racer - which is looking great!
Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally fully locked in. Pre-orders are live and the two editions have been detailed, with Sony touting that the game plays best on PS5. Sony have finally begun what had long been rumored, with legendary development studio Bungie suffering huge layoffs and the studio head stepped down, per reports.
Xbox put their consoles on sale across the US, before announcing yet another price increase that shocked players. With this weekly likely bringing layoffs and potential studio closures across the Xbox organisation, it seems to have already begun in some form with Compulsion Games. Still, a relatively positive story dropped via Entertainment Weekly, as Xbox detailed their film and TV ambitions. Gears of War, Sea of Thieves and more are getting movies, and Kojima teased a little more from OD, so that's exciting!
And lastly, Steam Machines reviews have landed - alongside the final pricing for this compact PC - and surprise, it's pretty expensive.
All this and more in the DayOne Show Episode 320 - available on demand in video and audio on all podcast platforms.
