The self-proclaimed dream team of Gareth, Paul and Richard are present for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 142, with all sorts on the agenda this week. Expect to hear about the downfall of Stadia and the future plans of CD Projekt Red, as well as a whole load of opinions on new games including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R and The Diofield Chronicle. So, please settle down and enjoy our musings.
Ah 2023. The year of every game under the sun. The twelve months in which pretty much every single game previously announced is due to release. 2023 is getting better still though, especially if you're a younger gamer, as Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart has been revealed. Â
Whilst the Pumps N’ Hoses DLC may sound like something coming to Saints Row, it’s in fact a very innocent expansion to the cult classic that is Farming Simulator 22. Get your mind out of that gutter.
In a collaboration perhaps not many people saw coming, one of Britain’s finest supercar manufacturers is launching onto the PUBG battlefield today. That’s right, McLaren are making their mark on the world of PUBG, as part of Update 19.2 coming to consoles today
Another week and TheXboxHub's A-Team get together to chat over the latest news and reviews from the world of gaming. We may be focused on the Xbox life, but you'll find us dipping into that of PlayStation, Switch, PC and more too. Episode 139 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast does just that - with focus on the latest Ubisoft Forward showcase, along with the Disney and Marvel events.
It's been more than 12 months since the super slick cyberpunk shooting of FORECLOSED was first revealed, but finally it's time for Merge Games and Antab Studios to shine as their game launches on console and PC.Â
After taking a little while off, the Ubisoft team dropped back into the Assassin's Creed world with a bang, launching Assassin's Creed Valhalla alongside next generation consoles and providing players with one of the greatest AC titles yet. Since that launch, it's a game that has been built upon, and that is where the latest expansion comes in - The Siege of Paris.
The No More Robots back catalogue is a pretty hefty one. You've got the interesting stuff like Yes, Your Grace, you've got the madness of Hypnospace Outlaw, a bit of downhill mountain biking in Descenders, the deck-building Nowhere Prophet and the fun little Let's Build a Zoo. Very soon though that No More Robots team will be delivering Heist Simulator to the world - can you guess at what you'll be tasked to do!?
It's not just the chance to take in a great story nor to bring together and assemble some of the mightiest warriors known to man. Nope, a large part of Marvel's Avengers' draw is in the customisation and power embracing that it allows. To do that, you need credits and cosmetics - two things that are front and centre with the latest slew of new Marvel's Avengers DLC packs that have hit the market.
We're big fans of Secretlab and their gaming chairs. After first using them back in 2017, it has been the Secretlab TITAN which has pretty much powered both our gaming lives and our working hours. In fact, we can't recommend them enough. Now though Secretlab are looking to push on and with their 2022 range of chairs, they are improving in nearly every aspect.
For years EA have been at the top of the game in regards their FIFA franchise. And whilst it may be far from perfect, the draw of Pro Clubs, Ultimate Team, a Career Mode and more ensure that gamers flock, each and every year. That's looking likely to be the case with EA SPORTS FIFA 22 too as the new HyperMotion Tech looks set to elevate it above all else.
There is huge hype surround the upcoming release of Farming Simulator 22; perhaps more than we have ever experienced for a farming title. So far though we've seen little in terms of how things will play out gameplay wise - but all that is set to change with the world premier gameplay reveal that is due to drop at FarmCon.
Watch Dogs: Legion - Bloodline is the game’s first story expansion since its release - and it is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Google Stadia and PC.
We’ve waxed lyrical about how great Zombie Army 4: Dead War is numerous times, yet that base experience which launched in 2020 has only been enhanced by a huge number of DLC drops. The latest which has arrived during Season 3 not only adds in a new spine-chilling campaign mission, but sees the iconic characters from Left 4 Dead joining the fight - for free.
There is huge excitement surrounding the release of Farming Simulator 22 on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Google Stadia. And finally that all-important release date has been confirmed, with the GIANTS Software team also throwing out new details in regards crop types and a brilliant new trailer too.
It may have been pushed back by a year but the latest iteration of the Olympic Games is fast approaching. And you know what that means? A video game tie-in of course! Are you ready to go for gold with Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game?
We're not really sure why, but there is much excitement over a cover star. And that of the Madden NFL cover star is greater than most. It's no surprise then when those excitement levels reach fever pitch as EA come out with all the details, the dates and the confirmation of the athlete who will be present across their annual franchise for the next 12 months. That's the case here and now with EA SPORTS Madden NFL 22.
You can rave all you like about the death of the battle royale genre, and whilst there is no doubt that the likes of Fortnite, Apex Legends and even the OG - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) - aren't what they used to be in terms of numbers, the latter is still fighting on with the twelfth season of content.
It's a strange one but the farming sim has most certainly found a place in the hearts of many, probably because it allows gamers the chance to live out the life of a farmer without the early morning alarm calls. The next game to join the genre is that of Farming Simulator 22, and there are high hopes for this one in regards that it could well turn out to be the genre king. With release set for later in 2021, there's still a little while to go before we can get hands on, but today the team at GIANTS Software have built the hype a little more, detailing a gorgeous limited Collector's Edition alongside new maps and new feature drops.
It's been a while since Ubisoft have pushed a Far Cry experience onto gamers, with Far Cry 5 in 2018 and Far Cry New Dawn a year later the last efforts. Yet after being teased and then delayed, Far Cry 6 is back and today Ubisoft have dropped all the details you will ever need, with fully confirmed release date, trailers, pre-order bonuses and more delivered.
