Matt returns with Keza and Bratt. We'll be back in about a month. Hello!
This time we chat about the times when we fall out of love with games, as well as chat about Nioh, For Honor, Final Fantasy XV, and more. Our question-guest this time is the excellent Charlie Cleveland - game director on Subnautica.
Matt and Quinns return with SEASON 2 of Daft Souls. Listen that's just what you say when you stop doing something for ages, OK? We talk a bunch about Shadow Tactics, Quinns talks a little about Gravity Rush 2, Nels Anderson answers our 5 questions, and then the boys revisit PSO.
We're joined by the excellent Keza Macdonald to talk about INSIDE and Pokemon Go. No spoilers about the former until the very end of the podcast, at which point a clear SPOILER-ZONE is flagged. Also this week we have a brand new podcast setup, which we now frustratingly won't be using again for a while. Sorry to be such a tease, we're awful!
Final Games is a podcast about the games that inspired us. Host, Liam Edwards is joined by various different game developers, game journalists and industry veterans to talk about the eight games that they'd choose to play for the rest of their lives if they were stuck in a deserted place. Think Desert Island Discs, but for games... This week Liam is joined by one of his favourite video/podcast creators Cool Ghost's, Matt Lees. The very talented freelancer who heads up the gaming channel, Cool Ghosts and is host of the award-winning, Daft Souls, joins Liam to talk about the chronological list of games that he'd take with him to the deserted virtual place. If you're a fan of Matt's work, you don't want to miss this.

Matt is joined by Chris Bratt for a bumper edition of Daft Souls that's entirely about XCOM 2. Spoilers are kept to an absolute minimum as we're a pair of respectful chaps, but obviously it IS two people talking about a game for over an hour, so if you're precious about not knowing anything at all - avoid! Everyone else? ENJOY.
Matt and Joe are joined by Chris Bratt, who's been playing a lot of Overwatch. It sounds exciting, but the other chaps have real reservations about the online team-shooty genre - can stuff like this and Rainbow Six: Siege avoid the horrible fate of Evolve? Matt's been playing Starcraft 2, and Joe's been dipping into Code Name S.T.E.A.M and thinking about stressful games. Special thanks again to Mr Joe Skrebels for standing in for Quinns over the last few months, and thanks to those of you who fund Cool Ghosts for allowing us to pay him for his brilliant services! If you love Joe then don't despair, we're planning to get him doing a little bit of video stuff for us at some point in the new year.

I'm not gonna lie: this "pre-pilot" is pretty heavy. Its aim is to cover the entire industry, in its current state, platform by platform, element by element, inch by inch. By the end of it though, you should have a clear idea of where the video games industry stands at the moment, and the tools you need to understand where it might be going. Also, we're having fun while discussing all this. Sounds appealing? Great, jump in! We'll be back soon with what will probably more light hearted (but still super informative) shows. The games we mention on the show: PS3: Dark Souls, Uncharted series, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360: Fable 2, Crackdown, Viva Pinata, Halo 3, Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Red Dead Redemption PS4: Uncharted, Blood Borne, Shadow of Mordor XBox One: Halo Master Chief Collection and 5, Forza series, Shadow of Mordor, Titanfall Wii U: All of Nintendo! 3DS: Nintendo again! Fantasy Life, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Bravely Default PS Vita: Persona 4, Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Spelunky Mobile: XCom, Hearthstone, Skyforce, The Banner Saga, Valiant Heart, Final Fantasy PC: Everything! Portal 2, Civilization Beyond Earth, Papers Please, Diablo 3, Crusader Kings 2, Batman Arkham Asylum / City Hosts: Patrick Beja (@NotPatrick) Tom Merritt (@acedtect, The Daily Tech News Show site) Matt Lees (@Jam_sponge, his YouTube channel, Shut Up and Sit Down, Daft Souls) Umberto Moioli (@U_Moioli, Multiplayer.it) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The first ever episode of Daft Souls, with Gav Murphy and Quintin Smith joining Matt to talk about Luftrausers, the cost of Ground Zeroes, Dark Souls 2, and all manner of lovely nonsense in-between.
