    A few weeks ago on the Out of The XFire podcast we spoke about a rumour regarding Sucker Punch. They are a Sony owned, 1st party studio known for the Infamous game series. The most recent of which, Infamous: Second Son, came out back in early 2014. So, they’ve...

  • The Post E3 Future of Consoles

    21/06/2016
    So with E3 done and dusted we have a lot more information and confirmations than we did before. I hosted an Out of Lives Special Discussion on the future of consoles and postulated why E3 2016 was more important than anyone seemed to realise. So was I right? How...

  • A New Dynasty

    09/06/2016
    In the run up to E3 I find myself anticipating one announcement in particular that would make me very happy. Koei Tecmo recently announced their line up for E3 and told us that they have a secret project in the works that they will announce at the show. Personally,...

    As many of you will know, especially if you listen to the Out of the Xfire podcast, I am firmly against the idea of “Upgradable Consoles”. The rumours surrounding Sony and the PS4.5/PS4K/PS4 Neo are a worrying sign for me as a console gamer. I’m sure you are all...

  • What if the NX isn’t a console?

    18/05/2016
    Originally posted by Mark Stewart The NX is shrouded in mystery at the moment, with only a few small pieces of official information available to the public, but work must be well underway if Nintendo aim to meet their March 2017 release date window. But just what is it...

  • To Boldly Go

    13/05/2016
    To Boldly Go… One particular franchise has lived long and prospered on both the big screen and small screen.
