Episode 324 | "Halo: Campaign Evolved, Nick's Holiday & More"

It’s a show! It’s a podcast! It’s a conversation baby, and it’s all about the video games! It’s all made possible by our wonderful community, and the DayOne Show Episode 324 is live and on demand for your earholes and eyeholes in glorious 4K! To kick things off this week, we’re pleased to see Nick return from his month long holiday in Greece, and we spend a little time discussing his adventures in Europe, and his new-found appreciation for how hot it can get over here. Before long, we of course turn our eyes on video games, and the star of the show this week is absolutely Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is available now if you fancy forking out for the fancy premium edition which comes with 5 days Early Access. We talk a lot about Halo, and delve into topics linked to remakes, reviews and for some reason, a brief but amusing tangent on Christopher Nolan movies. This week saw Microsoft jangle those keys once again, as they announced Xbox Backwards Compatibility for PC. Right now, it’s just four games – BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy with more planned as the program matured. Then, to make folks mad again, Xbox went and announced an ad-supported tier for Xbox Game Pass. The long-rumored free tier is now available for testing with Xbox insiders. Each session begins with an advertisement of undetermined length, with each ad giving you one hour of playtime, similar to the limit on the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition. Is it a slippery slope or not a big deal? You decide! On the Sony side of things, the silence following their announcement ending physical discs for PlayStation games, Circana’s Matt Piscatella took to social media to provide some data, got attacked for it, so supplied even more data. Suffice to say, it looks like the numbers just don’t make sense for Sony. On the plus side, we’ve got a new story trailer for Wolverine, and a release date for God of War Laufey. And don’t worry, if you were pining for more Kratos, Cory Balrog has said the next God of War title will focus on Kratos again. With plenty of good humour and fun, we also dive into all the questions from the community, so sit back and enjoy The DayOne Show Episode 324!

It’s a show! It’s a podcast! It’s a conversation baby, and it’s all about the video games! It’s all made possible by our wonderful community, and the DayOne Show Episode 324 is live and on demand for your earholes and eyeholes in glorious 4K!

To kick things off this week, we’re pleased to see Nick return from his month long holiday in Greece, and we spend a little time discussing his adventures in Europe, and his new-found appreciation for how hot it can get over here.
Before long, we of course turn our eyes on video games, and the star of the show this week is absolutely Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is available now if you fancy forking out for the fancy premium edition which comes with 5 days Early Access.

We talk a lot about Halo, and delve into topics linked to remakes, reviews and for some reason, a brief but amusing tangent on Christopher Nolan movies.

This week saw Microsoft jangle those keys once again, as they announced Xbox Backwards Compatibility for PC. Right now, it’s just four games – BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy with more planned as the program matured.

Then, to make folks mad again, Xbox went and announced an ad-supported tier for Xbox Game Pass. The long-rumored free tier is now available for testing with Xbox insiders. Each session begins with an advertisement of undetermined length, with each ad giving you one hour of playtime, similar to the limit on the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition. Is it a slippery slope or not a big deal? You decide!

On the Sony side of things, the silence following their announcement ending physical discs for PlayStation games, Circana’s Matt Piscatella took to social media to provide some data, got attacked for it, so supplied even more data. Suffice to say, it looks like the numbers just don’t make sense for Sony.
On the plus side, we’ve got a new story trailer for Wolverine, and a release date for God of War Laufey. And don’t worry, if you were pining for more Kratos, Cory Balrog has said the next God of War title will focus on Kratos again.

With plenty of good humour and fun, we also dive into all the questions from the community, so sit back and enjoy The DayOne Show Episode 324!
