Psu.com - Playstation Unchained

This week has been an interesting one in gaming, and RDGH is back once again to give you the details! Join host Glenn Gordon (who apologizes for his strange audio this week), Garri Bagdasarov, and Ben Shillabeer-Hall for episode 43 of the Racial Diversity Gaming Hour. One of our Twitter friends brought up Wander, the combat-free MMO (yes, combat-free MMO) coming soon to PlayStation 4. It sounds interesting, despite a scarcity of information, but can it succeed? Feel free to tweet with us as well! Just follow @TheRDGH. PlayStation could be preparing to become a bit more involved in its sales. The company recently added a field for a discount code in the PS4 PlayStation Store, but how does Sony intend to use it? Also, Guerrilla Games is hiring for a media producer—could it be getting ready to promote its mysterious new game? We don’t tend to hear much about South Korea when it comes to console-based video games, but PlayStation 4 is apparently doing well there—so well, in fact, that more Korea-focused games

Unchained has returned this week with host Ben Shillabeer-Hall and Garri Bagdasarov at the helm. It's a quiet news week for PlayStation, but there's still a good hour of stuff to talk about: The Planetside 2 beta for PS4 is still planned for 2014, though there isn't much of 2014 left. Also, PlayStation Now has five new games in its ranks, including Mass Effect 2 and Mirror's Edge. The very scary Bloodborne has been delayed until March 2015, and surprisingly, Just Cause 3 is expected to launch in 2015 as well. Meanwhile, Alien Isolation is to receive a patch to fix a game crashing bug. Speaking of patches, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has gotten its first patch, and Assassin's Creed: Unity really, really needs one. Ben and Garri also have reviews to discuss, including AC Unity and the incredible Dragon Age: Inquisition. Join us next week for episode 61, and remember to tweet us your feedback @PSUdotcom.

Once again, RDGH is back after a particularly interesting week in the world of video games. This week, join host Glenn Gordon, Garri Bagdasarov, Ben Shillabeeer-Hall, and (eventually) Fraser Miller as they discuss what has been going on: Week-to-week sales for the Xbox One have tripled in the United States since the console’s holiday price drop, and according to Microsoft, Xbox One has been ahead of PlayStation 4 for the past couple of weeks. How might Sony fight back, and will the ten-month streak finally be broken? Meanwhile, the Uncharted movie continues its turbulent gestation. Producers sought Chris Pratt, who played Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, to play Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, but the actor declined the role. The crew thinks that the movie’s producers may be going in the wrong direction altogether with their casting goals. Sony has been visibly working to increase the hype for its PlayStation Experience event next month. Could that help or hurt the end result? DRIVECLUB has received yet anothe

Unchained is here, and a new challenger has appeared! Join co-hosts Mike Harradence and Ben Shillabeer-Hall, along with newcomer Neil Bolt, as they discuss the latest in PlayStation gaming. FIFA 15 has been doing well very well, beating many great games on both PlayStation and Xbox! Even so, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has taken the crown, and no one is surprised. Also, a sequel to Destiny is already in development, and there's news on Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4. We also have reviews for Rocksmith, PES 2015, and Tales of Hearts R, as well as lots of banter about great PlayStation games. Thanks for listening, and be sure to send us tweets and feedback on Twitter @PSUdotcom! Join us next week for episode 60!

The work week begins anew, and with it comes a brand new episode of the Racial Diversity Gaming Hour! Join Garri Bagdasarov, Ben Shillabeer-Hall, and host Glenn Gordon for more discussion about another great week in the world of gaming. There were lots of tweets this week, and we love hearing what you have to say! To join the party, just find us on Twitter @TheRDGH. Ubisoft seems to have had a momentary lapse in judgment as its upcoming games inexplicably vanished from the Steam store last week, only to silently return some days later. Okay then, Ubisoft. Xbox One has had “hundreds” (but not really) of new updates over the past several months, and while Microsoft’s console has not had nearly as many real improvements as Xbox’s Major Nelson would have us believe, the console has indeed gotten a lot better over time. In fact, RDGH host Glenn Gordon actually bought his first Xbox, and now that he officially owns both consoles, he has some perspective on Xbox, PlayStation, and the console war as a whole to share

Unchained had a little break from its regular episodes, but returns this week with Episode 58! Join co-hosts Mike Harradence and Ben Shillabeer-Hall as they discuss the latest news in PlayStation gaming. Some PSU staff members got to attend the Golden Joystick Award Ceremony in the UK this past week, and Ben and Mike have a lot to discuss about who won what for 2014. Do you agree or disagree with the results? Tweet us @PSUdotcom! Grand Theft Auto V is coming shortly to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but the previous-generation iterations are doing extremely well. GTA V isn't alone--Far Cry 4 is expected to sell millions of copies in its first year, and PlayStation 4 as a whole has been doing the same, with millions more in unit sales adding up since June. Finally, one interesting game has unfortunately been canceled, and is no longer in development. Join PSU for much more, including reviews and info about the most recent event Ben got to go to in London! Stay tuned next week for episode 59.

What's up, gamers? RDGH has finally reached its fortieth episode, and with it comes a new member of the crew! Matt "Mario" Fernandez joins Garri Bagdasarov and host Glenn Gordon this week for RDGH's latest landmark. Second Life, the virtual world that was really big for awhile but since slipped into relative obscurity, is planning to make a comeback of sorts. Developer Linden Labs is planning a new virtual world like SL, built with today's technology in mind, including Oculus Rift. Some Xbox gamers have been doing something naughty for the holidays in the face of PlayStation 4's exclusive DLC planned for Destiny's first expansion pack, The Dark Below. The crew discusses why it's such a bad idea to demand refunds from Microsoft just because the other console is getting some DLC. PlayStation has offered its first bit of evidence that it plans to buff the PlayStation Network in the form of a survey directly comparing PSN and PS Plus to Xbox Live and Xbox Live Gold. What in particular do you dislike about PlaySta

Unchained didn't happen last week or this Monday, but returns tonight for Halloween! Dane Smith and Mike Harradence have some scary topics in gaming to discuss, so curl up in front of the fire with a big bowl of candy corn for seventy minutes and enjoy a great gaming podcast. Happy Halloween, everyone, and stick to PSU to find the next episode of PlayStation Unchained!

What's up, gamers? We're a little late this week due to our own scheduling issues, but better late than never! Don't worry. We'll be back to our regular schedule going forward. We recorded Saturday evening, so some information in this episode may be out of date. This week, join me (Glenn Gordon), Ben Shillabeer-Hall, and Fraser Miller as we address some criticism from a longtime listener. We explain our positions on different points of contention, and would like to invite anyone who can further elaborate on this criticism or has other criticism to tweet us @TheRDGH or send us an email at podcast@psu.com. We want to be the best RDGH we can be! Just keep it constructive. RDGH figured that Titanfall should not have been made exclusive to Xbox One. We also complained about the exclusivity of Rise of the Tomb Raider. Contrarily, we told Xbox One gamers to suck it up with regard to the exclusive content on Destiny. Sounds unfair to us said that way, but there's much more to that story. We've also repeatedly called

RDGH 38 is live, and a lot of fun! Ben Shillabeer-Hall and Garri Bagdasarov join host Glenn Gordon for another great episode, and they're not alone! We are just one weekend removed from the incredible finale to the League of Legends World Championship. No spoilers here just in case some of our listeners haven't yet seen it, but expect more on Worlds next week. Until then, now is a fantastic time to catch up on the battle between Samsung White and Star Horn Royal Club in Korea and find out who won the summoner's cup. Honestly, even if you already know who won, it's worth watching these great matches. This week has been great on Twitter. You, our gamers, joined the RDGH crew to chat about the price of Project Morpheus, console resolution parity, the DRIVECLUB launch issues, and whether or not you would sacrifice free PlayStation Plus games for a stronger PSN. There were even some comments out favorite energy drinks! Thanks for tweeting and sharing with us! Join the party on Twitter @TheRDGH. After a layoff spre

Unchained is back! This week, Mike Harradence's sultry tones host the show, and Dane Smith and Garri Bagdasarov join in. It has been an interesting week! Grand Theft Auto V will take about 50 gigabytes of space on PS4, making it one of the biggest hard drive space hogs of the generation so far. What's responsible for the massive size of GTA V? The VGA Awards are coming soon, and we have some ideas on what to expect! What do you think will happen at the Awards? Tweet us @PSUdotcom. We also have a bit to say this week about the resolution and framerate parity issues between PS4 and Xbox One. Things have been getting intense between developers and gamers, and it will be interesting to see where things go as the generation continues. We've got a lot of reviews to discuss this week as well, especially our review of DRIVECLUB. We gave it a 9.5 and gamers flipped out! The Unchained team has something to say about not only our DRIVECLUB review, but reviews in general. Thanks for listening, and tune in next week for e

What's up, gamers? The most racially diverse gaming podcast on the Internet returns this week to shun discrimination against gaming consoles for the colors of their branding. There's lots to talk about, and host Glenn Gordon joins Dane Smith and Garri Bagdasarov with a packed and very interesting episode. First off, a tweet from a regular listener sparks debate about the resolution issues between PS4 and Xbox One. Is 900p resolution really such a big deal? Glenn certainly thinks not. PlayStation Network has been going down every now and then over the past few months with little explanation. We know Sony is discussing making an investment in PSN to make it stronger, but until then, what should gamers expect? Is it worth joining PlayStation Plus? What would gamers be willing to sacrifice (hypothetically, of course) for a stronger PSN? Xbox has had an interesting week as well. It's the first eighth-generation console to get a native Plex app, the Sunset Overdrive bundle got a short-lived price drop on Amazon UK,

PlayStation Unchained returns this week with host Ben Shillabeer-Hall (who apologizes for being rather quiet this week), Mike Harradence, and Dane Smith and a lot of interesting discussion topics. From Tomb Raider to Call of Duty to Janitor Simulator, we have plenty to discuss this week. One topic is the Game of the Year award. Destiny and Watch Dogs were both very highly anticipated, but failed to hit the mark to match the mania. What game do you believe deserves to be game of the year for 2014? Join us next week for episode 57!

RDGH 36 is here! But do you know what's not here? The most racially diverse gaming crew on the Internet! Host Glenn Gordon takes the reins solo this week due to scheduling conflicts with the rest of the crew, but never fear: there's plenty interesting stuff to talk about, and we'd love for you to join the conversation on Twitter @TheRDGH. Some people are upset at DRIVECLUB's new media quote trailer, where VG24/7 was quoted saying, "PS4's Forza Killer." Is DRIVECLUB really a Forza killer? Why is everyone mad at Evolution Studios and not VG24/7? All we know for sure is that DRIVECLUB is absolutely gorgeous. PlayStation 4 has a huge new bundle coming out in Europe (sorry, North America). PlayStation Vita has a new update available now that (finally) enables themes, and we walk through the new PlayStation Plus freebies for October. Speaking of updates, Xbox One has a new one for October to add something seriously useful to one of its proudest features, Snap. And speaking of Xbox One, Microsoft's flagship console

What's up, gamers? We're back with episode 35 of RDGH, and the most racially diverse gaming crew on the Internet has lots to say about this past week! This time, Ben Shillabeer-Hall and Dane Smith join host Glenn Gordon to discuss some interesting gaming news. Destiny's out, and now eyes are shifting to Driveclub--and boy, will they be happy. A new video shows just how gorgeous the game looks, and we just can't wait to get our hands on it. We can only hope the gameplay is half as good as the graphics. Just don't look at Project CARS immediately after looking at Driveclub, even though Project CARS just might satisfy some racer fans more than Driveclub. Xbox still isn't over its so-called resolution problem, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the latest game to run at a slightly lower on Microsoft's machine than on Sony's. We'd love to reiterate that IT DOESN'T MATTER. In addition, Far Cry 4 could have been set in a couple other nations with completely different stories. The time it takes to complete Final F

Unchained takes a break from its usual episodes this week for another great special, and perhaps one of the most insightful podcast episodes PSU has released. PSU staff members Dane Smith, Glenn Gordon, Bryan King, and (eventually) Ernest Lin walk the world through their own processes, from start to finish for reviewing a video game. They disclose how games are scored, what reviewers look for, and the importance of reviewing games fairly. They even discuss how much Sony and/or Microsoft really pay reviewers for their reviews, in response to many Internet comments. They also go into what's wrong with current Internet-based game reviews, and why certain sites (yes, they get specific) are less than trustworthy. This is a must-listen for any gamer, and we hope you enjoy it. Tune in next week for episode 56 of PlayStation Unchained.

The most racially diverse gaming crew on the Internet is back with episode 34 of RDGH! Join Glenn Gordon, Ben Shillabeer-Hall, and Garri Bagdasarov this week as they discuss this very interesting past week in gaming. Destiny was DDoSed for a little while by LizardSquad, the same group who attacked PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and other online networks not long ago. Also, VGchartz has released some interesting sales figures for the big three consoles. What does it all mean? Evolution has announced two Driveclub PS4 bundles for Europe (not for North America), and the crew thinks Evolution could have done better. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were announced recently, along with an interesting claim from Apple that had some people declaring the end of consoles as we know it. The RDGH crew thinks that's a load of bull, and happily explains why. Also, the world finally got another taste of Final Fantasy XV, and of course, it arrives with some form of controversy. The crew talks about the upcoming title and the controv
