Here we are at last with our first proper episode of 2025, but it's far from business as usual with the first official reveal of Nintendo's imaginatively titled Switch 2, which means it can't be long now until Rob get's all his games back - and this time in glorious 4K! There's also been another Xbox Developer Direct to reassure us that 2025 won't revolve around the release of GTA VI quite as much as were led to believe, with the surprise reveal of not just Ninja Gaiden 4, but a super shadow drop of Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma on Gamepass NOW!As if Rob doesn't have enough on there to play, even having wrapped up Indiana Jones & The Great Circle since last episode! He's not even got round to fighting Ninjas thanks to the release of Citizen Sleeper 2, which builds on the foundations of it's first iteration to deliver a more complex and episodic experience this time around. And Will's trying desperately to get Marcus and Rob to join him on Helldivers 2.

Happy New Year all! We hope you got all the videogames you wanted and most importantly some well earned time to enjoy them! We certainly did, in the gift of Machine Games' remarkable Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which really didn't need to be anywhere near as good as it turned out in the end. So good in fact to receive full honours from at least one of us in our regular games of the year segment as is tradition. We also go over the big winners from the recent Game Awards show just before Christmas, as well as a detailed analysis of the big announcements. We'll be back in 12 months to see how right we were about the success or indeed, actual release, of said phenomena. Hopefully with less technical gremlins this time, which I shall leave for you, dear listener, to discover and enjoy in this most festive #NOTplaying Podcast!

After that disaster-piece of an episode last time around, we thought we'd try super hard to make this one a success, it could be argued even, that we overcompensated. Rob even took one for the team and shelled out an exorbitant sum for a PS5 Pro just to make up for it. He's even had to play Star: Wars: Outlaws in it's newly patched 60FPS + DLC glory. Oh and the new Dragon Age. It's been a tough old time. It really has. And then there's poor old Marcus, with his time on the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta only for it to be taken away until it's proper release date early next year, at least Will was man enough to tackle S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - Heart of Chornobyl. We hope you find this episode more acceptable, or at least how much we suffered for it :) All this and more on a somewhat glitchy #NOTplaying Podcast!

We can only apologise for this one. If it wasn't connections dropping or random things banging around, it was furiously typing to look things up. It's all a bit of a mess this week sadly :( Amidst the Chaos however, we were able to lay down our highlights from the most recent online presentations from Microsoft & Sony, as well our thoughts on a couple of cool indie games which recently came out: Devolver's delightfully artistic The Plucky Squire and UFO 50, a proposition so bizarre extreme measures were implemented to deal with it.

Sorry we haven't been around much this year, but have no fear listeners - we will be back very soon with our pick of the best movies and TV shows of 2024 as well as our Annual Summer Movie Wager! In the meantime, we had a bit of chat on our sister show, The #NOTplaying Podcast about the recent Prime Video series, Fallout, based on the beloved videogames and we thought this might have some crossover interest on this feed too. With the superhero well beginning to dry out, this may well turn out to be a recurring situation. We'll be back with a proper show in a few weeks time...

2024 is off to quite a start with extensive showcases from both Microsoft and Sony within the first few weeks of the year as well as a genuine GOTY contender in Ubisoft's latest refresh of the Prince of Persia franchise, which goes back to it's roots in a supremely slick take on the classic 2D 'metroidvania' action platforming genre. Will's also had the chance to finish God of War Ragnarok as well as have a quick peruse of it's recently released Free DLC, Valhalla, while Marcus has been foaming all over the imminent FFVII Rebirth and the demo that came out along with that dedicated State of Play last week.

We're emerging from underneath a gigantic pile of gaming rubble this week to share our thoughts on just a handful of titles amidst the current tidal wave of autumn releases. First up is the almost podcast shattering paradox of Starfield, then we've got the latest (albeit significantly paired back) installment of Assassin's Creed and even Marcus has something new to play in From Software's non-dark-souls-but-still-hard-as-fuck mech resurrection, Armored Core VI. There's also more futuristic ultra violence in the recently released Robocop: Rogue City demo and the new Cyberpunk 2077 DLC/(MASSIVE)update, Phantom Liberty. All this and somehow even more on a typically stuffed October edition of the #NOTplaying Podcast!

E3 might not be happening this year, but we still have plenty to discuss this month, including release dates for Starfield and the much delayed Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. We've also all been going a bit gooey over Sony's recent Final Fantasy focussed State of Play, so expect much more on that game when it releases in just a couple of short months time! And Rob's been having a right old spring clean of stuff he started before Christmas, so some final thoughts on God of War Ragnarok & Midnight Suns, before launching into how Team 17's Dredge has helped him fall back in love with his much neglected Nintendo Switch. All this and much much more on a most spring-fevered #NOTplaying Podcast!

While the last few weeks has seemed a bit quiet on the game release front compared to the bloodbath in February, we've let rather a lot of news stack up this time.Leading the charge is Sony, with the recently restructured digital membership offerings and a couple of State of Play's covering Hogwarts Legacy and the imminent side-scrolling cousin to Ghost of Tsushima, Trek to Yomi. There's also the wonderful news that Amy Hennig will get a chance to make her Star Wars game finally amidst a truly stacked line-up of entries in that particular franchise currently in development.As for what we've been playing, Will's chucked a bunch of time into Borderlands spin-off, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Rob's been using his Easter break to get to some Gamepass indies and Marcus is still making his way through Elden Ring.We'll be back some time in June once the dust has settled on whatever this year's #NOTE3 Summer of Games turns out to be. We'll be surprised if there isn't at least something Starfield-shaped at the Microsoft/Bethesda showcase announced for June 12.

There's no getting around it, February was a lot. Not 1, not 2, but 3 massive open world games, more multi-billion dollar studio acquisitions and - of course - more delays. In this week's episode we analyse the fallout only to discover that all three of us are playing the same thing, although that may not be for very long given that one that it is!All this & more on an utterly bunged-up-with-open-world-games-again #NOTplaying Podcast!Contact us on Email at: notplayingpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter: @notplayingpodIf you're listening on iTunes, please give us a review!Music kindly provided by Miracle of Sound https://www.youtube.com/miracleofsoundIf you like movies & TV, why not checkout the #NOTwatching Podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're still in lockdown, but Marcus finally got his hands on the game he's been anticipating for over a decade, Rob's finally sunk his fangs into Assassin's Creed Odyssey with a dabbling of Disco Elysium on the side and some co-op fun in Divinity Original Sin 2 and well, poor old Will is in a bit of a gaming funk. So much so that he's even given the new Fallout 76 Wastelanders expansion (?) a spin.

It's been a while since we last posted an episode and to be honest we weren't expecting to be back with you so soon, but then a mutant plague got inflicted upon the world and we're all holed up in our various hobbit holes with not very much to do.There's always gaming though and oh how very much we've fallen back on our erstwhile hobby of choice. We've been subscribing to various online services, re-embracing the art of co-op online multiplayer and finally getting to play some games that until recently seemed like nothing more than a pipedream - all in a desperate bid to stay sane during these most apocalyptic of times.It's all hands on deck for a most unexpected #NOTplaying Podcast!Contact us on Email at: notplayingpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter: @notplayingpodYou can find the show notes for this show at www.notlistening.co.ukIf you're listening on iTunes, please give us a review!Music kindly provided by Miracle of Sound https://www.youtube.com/miracleofsoundTo Check out other shows in the Collection visit:http://barkerpodcasts.webs.comIncluding the #NOTwatching Podcast:http://www.spreaker.com/show/the-notwatching-podcast

This month's episode is possibly the most legit recording we've done in a while, with each of us having played at least one game from 2019! Rob's even bought a Switch (finally!). Before that though, we discuss EA's triumphant apology to Star Wars fans, Jedi: Fallen Order, Obsidian's successful but slight The Outer Worlds and the latest entry in the Devil May Cry series released earlier this year.

This month we've been smashing through our backlogs once more! Rob's been sadistically losing the will to live in Metro Exodus, Will has been using his commute to finish up the remastered-for-switch Final Fantasy XII & Marcus has mostly been hunting monsters in Monster Hunter World.

On this week's show we discuss some of the developments coming out of the recent Quakecon, including more details on how Fallout 76 will work and how crazy the next Doom game will be. Rob's also finally finished God of War, so has a few final thoughts on that and Iain's been playing Sniper Elite 4.

On this month's show we're still in Ubisoft-land, albeit this time of the more far and crying persuasion, as Will does his best to convince us that's it's worth going back to the series for a fifth time. Meanwhile, Rob and Marcus have some stories to share from the recent EGX Rezzed show at London's Tobacco Dock.

On this week's show we finally get into some games we've actually been playing after all the round ups and previews at the turn of the year. Rob & Will have been cracking into the controversial Kingdom Come: Deliverance to a greater or lesser extent, Marcus has been playing some boardgames, Will is still very happy with his Nintendo Switch and Rob managed to make some serious headway with his pile of shame over Xmas.

It's been a slow year for us on the #NOTplaying Podcast. We dropped our episode schedule down to monthly and that's reflected in the number of games we've been able to play. We've also been leaning on some old favourites too, so even with so many great games coming out over the past 12 months, 2017 has felt like a bit of a snooze. There have been some highlights though, which we would like to share with you on our last show of the year.

July was a rough month for videogames, with barely a single release worth discussing. The floodgates are beginning to open though, with the release of Supergiant Games' latest, Pyre - a strange hybrid of RPG and Basketball. We've also gone back to The Division, Marcus is still plugging away at Final Fantasy XV and both Rob and Will have finished Horizon Zero Dawn. We also discuss the tepid launch of Cliff Blezinksi's Lawbreakers, the new Hearthstone expansion, Knights of the Frozen Throne and end up discussing the increasing of trend of lootboxes showing up in the games we play.

This week's show is almost completely dominated by Japan, which is kind of appropriate given the land of the Rising Sun seems to be owning the beginning of 2017. Nintendo are about to release a new innovative console, Square Enix have multiple Final Fantasies being remade and have more than established a foothold in the conventional western videogame space with their recent reinvention of the Hitman series, which Rob has finally made a start on (and is also now available in full season retail form). And that's without mentioning the recent deal Square made with Marvel, which is actually something of a two-ended sword in these parts... all this & more on an especially oriental-orientated #NOTplaying Podcast!FFXV https://finalfantasyxv.com/Square/Marvel deal https://youtu.be/rq_V6WHSmQsHitman https://hitman.com/en-usFFVII Remake http://segmentnext.com/2017/02/03/final-fantasy-7-remake-may-delayed-next-gen-production-yet-start/FFXII http://www.finalfantasyxii.com/us/Nioh http://teamninja-studio.com/nioh/Yakuza Zero http://yakuza.sega.com/yakuza0/Nintendo Switch http://www.nintendo.com/switch/Contact us on Email at: notplayingpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter: @notplayingpodYou can find the show notes for this show at www.notlistening.co.ukIf you're listening on iTunes, please give us a review!Music kindly provided by Miracle of Sound https://www.youtube.com/miracleofsoundTo Check out other shows in the Collection visit:http://barkerpodcasts.webs.com Including the #NOTwatching Podcast: http://www.spreaker.com/show/the-notwatching-podcast

Marcus has got so into chasing down those fantastical beasts he's ended up buying a 2DS to play the latest installment of the epic franchise, Rob's persevering with Adr1ft and it seems to be paying off, No Man's Sky launched a new update and we have a couple of quite significant announcements that will change the show forever more.

Iain's not been on for a little while so this week's show is all about what he's been playing recently, which has mostly been Skyrim: Special Edition.

So Rob finally pulled the trigger on Playstation 4 Pro so has spent his conveniently timed week off getting intimate with Sony's supercharged console. Obviously, the first port of call was Naughty Dog's magnificent Uncharted 4, but Dishonored 2 came bundled with the machine so some time has been spent with that too. And then there's the machine itself, which it turns out really is a serious piece of gaming kit.

It's Marcus & Rob again this week, this time talking about some games they've been playing. Or in some cases, actually not playing at all. They have both been playing Ubisoft's VR bird sim Eagle Flight though - across both Oculus Rift & Playstation VR. Marcus has also been getting to grips with Forza Horizon 3, while Rob has mostly been reacquainting himself with the land of Skyrim whilst also dipping into the closed beta of CD Projekt Red's standalone card game, Gwent.

Bit of a different show this week, with just Rob & Marcus holding the fort. Nevertheless there's been quite a bit going on in the world of videogames, including the reveal of Nintendo's next console, the handheld hybrid Switch, the first trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 and some more controversial occurrences from Bethesda and UK retailer GAME.

It's with a heavy heart that we wave goodbye to long-time co-host, Patrick Kay, on what will most likely be his last contribution to the show for some time. Suffice it to say he has his reasons, which he explains herein. As well as that though we have - as ever - some substantial game chat, including our thoughts on the walking simulator of the moment, Virginia, the recently discounted military shooter, Sniper Elite 3 and the enduring charm of Borderlands, which Iain & Rob have been playing in co-op for the past few weeks.

After our EA love-in the other week's here's another publisher fawnfest, albeit one probably slightly more deserved, for it is the turn of Blizzard to receive our attention this week. Adam's still playing Overwatch and has news of it's new(ish) competitive mode. Meanwhile, Rob recently changed up his deck in Hearthstone and is now experimenting with Dragons.

On this week's show we're giving EA some love as Iain delves into the beta for the latest iteration of the Battlefield series and Adam dips into last year's Star Wars variant with his Son.

....aaaand the rest. This week's show is about a whole lot of games we've been playing, including Patrick's continuing adventures with Raw Data and Battle Dome, Rob's daliance with the brief, but beautiful ABZÛ & Iain's excessive amount of time off catching up on Rise of the Tomb Raider and a whole bunch of older things that were worth revisiting.

When the original Deus Ex came out in 2000 it blew the doors off player choice and expression in first person video-games. The series stumbled somewhat in the follow-up, Invisible War, but was redeemed with Eidos Montreal's Human Revolution in 2011. 5 years later, the inevitable fourth instalment, Mankind Divided arrives after some much maligned pre-order incentives and a sea of controversy over micro-transactions and dubious metaphorical parallels in game's plot. Does it do the series justice though - on this week's #NOTplaying Podcast, Rob shares his first impressions...Deus Ex: Mankind Divided https://www.deusex.com/Contact us on Email at: notplayingpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter: @notplayingpodYou can find the show notes for this show at www.notlistening.co.ukIf you're listening on iTunes, please give us a review!Music kindly provided by Miracle of Sound https://www.youtube.com/miracleofsoundTo Check out other shows in the Collection visit:http://barkerpodcasts.webs.com Including the #NOTwatching Podcast: http://www.spreaker.com/show/the-notwatching-podcast

After a couple of week's of VR indulgence, it's Rob's turn to talk about some 'meatspace' games from earlier in the year. First up we have Everybody's Gone to the Rapture from the Chinese Room, which debuted last year on PS4, but arrived on PC back in April to very little fanfare at all. We then have Coldwood Interactive's curious emo-platformer, Unravel, which if nothing else certainly benefitted from EA's bank account, whilst managing to preserve a whole lot of heart & soul in the process.

We talked about it a few months back when it was first demoed at this year's VR packed GDC, but now ILMxLAB's Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine demo is available to download on Steam for FREE! Like a lot of VR stuff, it turned out to be a somewhat slight experience, but it's no less impressive than any of the other things Patrick and Iain have tried out lately.

It's a bit of a multiplayer focussed one this week.

On this week's show we're talking about Playdead's follow-up to Limbo, Inside. It's a truly striking game with some incredibly dramatic turns which we'll be going into spoilerific detail on towards the end of the episode. So if you haven't finished or even started playing this masterpiece yet then why are you reading this? Go to Steam or your digital storefront of choice, download the game.

With Pokemon pretty much sucking all the oxygen out of the Summer it's been fairly light on the news front recently. We have nevertheless scrapped a few bits out of news barrel. First up, there's the System Shock reboot - we're always suckers for a decent crowd-funding campaign, but when the pitch comes with an actual demo you can play it's hard not to be completely won over. There have also been some developments over at Oculus in the wake of their troublesome launch.

This week's show is a bit of a shambles quite honestly, but our schedules made it come down to a case of either brutally editing our last recording into more episodes than was really appropriate or yours truly briefly recording something for the sake of not missing a week. Suffice it to say, we went for the latter option - but only because I thought of something that might honestly be worth documenting. And by that I'm referring to my obsessively ongoing GOTY decision, which I geekily keep track of all year long. So here it is: my half-time scorecard.

Adam's been in something of a gaming malaise for the past few months and Iain's been so busy with work that he's not been able to join us on the show for ages either. So it was jolly nice to hear them so enthused about Blizzard's latest genre-crusher, Overwatch. So nice in fact that we thought they should have an episode all of their own to talk about it....

With Rob's Oculus finally arriving and the dust settling on whole host of VR announcements which took centre stage at E3, we thought it might be a good time to chat about where things are at with the two platforms currently in existence right now, as well as describe what Oculus's eco-system has to offer for early adopters.

We had some technical and scheduling difficulties this week so for the first time in a long while (ever?) it's just Rob on his own going through some of the more salient news stories of the past few weeks and a few of the more interesting games unveiled at Pax East.

At the time of writing Patrick has actually received his HTC Vive, but at the time of recording both headsets were suffering from problematic launches. The Oculus Rift isn't expected to arrive for most people until the end of May/early June, so this has given all of us plenty of time to reassess our decisions on which headset we want, or if we even want one at all. Perhaps it might even be worth sitting on the fence until Sony release their Playstation VR, cos if anyone knows how to launch a cutting edge technology product it's them right?
