For our first podcast of 2021, we take a special look back at a stellar generation of games that we had the pleasure of playing on PS4, Xbox One and PC. We broke down the generation across multiple categories to bring you our favourite games of the last generation, with added insight from a special guest – our good friend and gaming writer, Andre Rodrigues.
This week has been huge for the PS5 in India, however this episode was recorded prior to the predorders going live. We’ll go deeper into the PS5 pre-launch and all the drama around it in the next podcast.
We hope you enjoy this extended episode of the IVG Podcast, and we look forward to bringing you more podcasts all through 2021.
In our last episode of the year, we round off an eventful year in gaming with some of the most memorable games and gaming moments. From our favourite games to the bitter disappointments, this one is all about looking back through a year unlike any other.
The penultimate episode of the IVG Podcast for 2020 should have been a celebration of Cyberpunk 2077's long awaited launch, but we instead find ourselves discussing the fallout from its disastrous launch. Like the gaming community at large, we find ourselves divided on how the game eventually turned out. We also discuss the role of games media in misrepresenting the game's state at launch. Cyperpunk 2077 aside, we also talk about the Epic Games Store holiday sale, Ubisoft's abysmal holiday giveaway, and early impressions of Back 4 Blood.
This week's IVG Podcast can only be about one thing – Cyberpunk 2077. Having played the game on PC and console, we share our first impressions, general fan reception to the game, the game's plethora of bugs and glitches, as well as CD Projekt's approach towards pre-release reviews and footage capture. We also recorded this podcast the day after The Game Awards, so we also spent a bit of time talking about all the reveals and the winners.
Eight years after it was first announced, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally upon us. So naturally, this episode of the IVG Podcast is dedicated to CD Projekt’s ambitious new RPG. We talk about what excites us about the game, some of our concerns, and how we think it might be received by gamers. While CP77 dominates this episode, we also talk about Kratos’ appearance in Fortnite and the general perception of Fortnite with the core gaming community. We also have a lot to say on one of the most hotly debated topics in gaming – inclusivity and gender representation in gaming.
This week on the IVG Podcast, we take a trip down memory lane to when it all began:
