End of 2018 Review

Happy New Year TA-ers! Welcome to our end of year special, where Sam, Ollie and I were joined by our Editorial Manager, Mark, as we take our annual look back at all of the biggest news stories, site announcements and games from the world of Xbox and PlayStation over the past 12 months. Thanks for listening, sending in questions and providing feedback on the show throughout the past year. As we mention during the show, this will be our last regular episode of the podcast, as we look to focus our combined efforts on making all three of the TGN sites the best they can be in 2019. It's not the end of the show completely, however, as we'll be back to share our opinions on some of the bigger games as they release and the larger industry events, so stay tuned to the homepage to catch the next episode.

XO18 Speculation and an Interview with Mike Brown from Playground Games

Welcome to episode six of the TGN podcast. On this week's show, we got the chance to speak to Principle Game Designer, Mike Brown, from Playground Games about Forza Horizon 4's location, the seasons, Horizon stories, the Halo showcase event, choosing the game's soundtrack and much more. Before that, however, Sam, Ollie and I wildly speculate about what we might see at tomorrow's XO18 event. Will we see something from any of the newly acquired studios? Will Crackdown 3 really release in March? Are Ubisoft going to finally reveal a new Splintercell? We don't know, but it's fun to try and put together some of the clues and come up with conclusions!

Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Harry Potter RPG Leak and More

In last week's podcast notes, I mentioned that we had been tossing around the idea of switching from a solely TA focussed podcast to a TGN podcast, where we can discuss and debate all of the latest news and games from both Xbox and PlayStation. Thankfully, the feedback was positive, and so this week, we'd like to introduce you to the very first episode of the TGN podcast!

Joining me on this week's show are Ollie and Sam, as we share out thoughts on the newly released Assassin's Creed Odyssey and discuss what could be next for Ubisoft's long-running franchise, discuss the leaked Harry Potter RPG footage, marvel at the latest Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay trailer, and look at what's now available for free in October's Games with Gold and PS Plus offerings. We also, give you the chance to win an Xbox One came code (leave us a comment in the thread below to enter), discuss this week's ID@Xbox streams, and answer your questions, including the question of the week.
