TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 154: PSVR2 and the Future of Gaming

Another huge week in the gaming world – one that has been totally dominated by the release of PSVR2. But how does that sit with the team at TheXboxHub? They discuss having played it, and where they think the future of gaming is going… There’s a ton more included too.

For instance there’s the games that the team have played and in Episode 154 we find Gareth, James, Neil and Paul from TheXboxHub chatting about some of the most recent Xbox titles. There’s Remoteness (and we’ve got a video showing you how that plays too), and Atari and Jeff Minter’s lost prototype in Akka Arrh. The guys also cover the arrival of Atomic Heart on Game Pass, how Dogurai is perhaps a step too close to ‘retro’ and how Sword and Fairy is a decent playthrough. 

But the big talking point is that PSVR2 launch. After getting hands-on with what it brings, there’s talk about the hardware itself, about the games and about the experience of VR as a whole. Does it mean we need an Xbox VR kit? 

Further to that comes news concerning the next Forza Horizon 5 expansion instalment and more.

TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 179: Xbox, leaks, Death and Taxes – TheXboxHub Official Podcast

It’s been a week of ups and downs for Xbox, so naturally we’re going to give our take on the leaks, the Tokyo Game Show, and more in TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 179. You’ll also hear opinions on some of the latest games to hit the store, including Mortal Kombat 1, Death and Taxes, and eFootball 2024.  Prepare to listen to the vocal delights of Gareth, James, Paul and Richard, who have a load of games to discuss. Starting with the life and death choices of Death and Taxes, the team then turn their attention to the disappointing eFootball 2024, the bloody brutal Mortal Kombat 1, and the Saturday morning cartoon-inspired MythForce. But wait, because there’s more, as the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion, Heavy Duty Challenge, Thunder Ray, and Hercule Poirot: The London Case, are also on the agenda. And last, but not least, there’s chatter regarding the recent Xbox leaks, the Activision Blizzard deal reaching a conclusion, and the highlights of the showcase at the Tokyo Game Show.  If you wish to comment on anything discussed in TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 179, or ask any questions for us to respond to in future episodes, feel free to do so!
