Well, this is it! Our final episode of the H.A.M. Radio Podcast. It's a bit surreal, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited than sad. I truly am ecstatic at the idea of our new show H.A.M. Radio Live and I believe it will be loved even more by all of you than this show. With that said, we have had some phenomenal memories here. We've been able to lift many voices, bring their careers to new levels, and most importantly, share a lot of laughs. From myself, Lone, Noah, Karak, and Dustin, thank you for supporting our little podcast. When I launched it in 2014, I had no idea how long it would live. Truth be told, it could easily continue on as is and be perfectly fine, but it's time for a leap of faith.

Our Extended Thoughts On The Nintendo Switch OLED - H.A.M. Radio Podcast Episode #309

Sun, 11 Jul 2021 18:00:00 -0000

What a week! Nintendo kicks things off by disappointing many fans with its newest model. It was expected to be a full technical upgrade that is capable of displaying at 4K, but what we got was a revision. Admittedly, it is the most significant revision yet however that won't be enough. Matty & Dustin sink their teeth into the newest piece of plastic to hit the market. GTA 6 and Assassin's Creed leak the same week years ahead of their respective launches as well! Quite the mess, indeed, as both games appear to have live service elements of some sort. What does this mean for the future of single player games? Matty and Dustin will attempt to dissect, but time will tell more than anything. Lastly, we got a State Of Play for the month of July. The main question being whether or not this falls in the bin of other mediocre State Of Plays.

Another report has came up and spawned a trending hashtag #HoldUbisoftAccountable which is receiving mounting attention as it should. We have spoken positively on the show about our generally positive interactions with the company, but the notion of Ubisoft's free pass must be discussed.

What Will PlayStation's Response To Xbox Game Pass Be? - H.A.M. Radio Podcast Episode #298

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 18:00:00 -0000

Last week, we labeled our episode around PlayStation and Xbox marching in opposite directions. After today's reporting, that could not be more clear. A report from Bloomberg has stated the niche days of PlayStation are over and they care only for the big guns. Even moderate successes like Days Gone from Bend Studio are being folded into the operations over at Naughty Dog for multiplayer efforts. As PlayStation whittles down their offerings to highly refined AAA exclusives, you can't help but ask "What are they doing?" As more rumbles occur involving PlayStation Game Pass, the trio digs into what a potential competitor could look like. In other news, Deathloop is delayed, Kojima may be joining up with Xbox, and Matty ate a ton of fake crab. That and, of course, much for you to enjoy in this episode!

With Chaos, Comes Misinformation | H.A.M. Radio Podcast Episode #284

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 19:00:00 -0000

CD Projekt Red really faced the music this past December with the release of Cyberpunk 2077. For days upon days, there was seemingly a new issue cropping up for the once highly praised studio. Since Christmas, there has been a void and with that calmness, one Reddit user saw opportunity to peddle misinformation which then quickly spread across the web leading to CDPR breaking their silence to quiet things down. The conversation leaves us in a familiar position of irresponsible reporting, Reddit threads citing things fans want, and the actual delivery of the product from the people working on it. In an otherwise quiet week, Nintendo has made a big acquisition with a long term partner dating back to 2005. Even more interesting is the subdued problems of Dying Light 2. The once promising open-world RPG has gone dark and now is seeing another noteworthy exit. That alongside Karak's absolute hatred of The Witcher 3 on Switch in our 2021 kickstart!

Fri, 01 Jan 2021 19:00:00 -0000

Pandemic Studios was one of gaming's greatest. Bringing us the likes of Star Wars: Battlefront 1 & 2, Lord Of The Rings: Conquest, The Saboteur, Destroy All Humans, and both Mercenaries games, they really managed to define a lot of titles in their lifespan. Sadly, in 2009, Pandemic Studios closed their doors and never reopened. What's the story behind this? Today, Matty sits down with multiple former developers and leaders who worked at the studio to answer this question. Were things as great on the inside as it was on the outside for consumers? Did this team bite off more than they could chew? Through Cameron Brown, Tom French, and Scott Warren, Matty brings the answers.

Sun, 13 Dec 2020 19:00:00 -0000

2020's biggest game has finally arrived. Cyberpunk 2077 was announced back in 2012 before going dark and reappearing years later after the The Witcher 3. The hype was high and with that so are expectations. On the PC front, things look strong, but beyond that it's a bit of a warzone. To cool things off, the boys debate more about how much ice should be in your drink rather than the bugs and performance issues plaguing Cyberpunk. The game's industry's popularity contest also occurred, but reveals were the main focus. From "It Takes Two" to "Crimson Desert," there were plenty of nice looking games to sink our teeth into!

Our Extended Thoughts On BioWare's Big Changes | H.A.M. Radio Podcast Episode #280

Sun, 06 Dec 2020 19:00:00 -0000

BioWare has done borderline everything to step further away from their glory days. From stripping away role-playing elements, honing in on multiplayer, and making radical changes in their established franchise, it's sad to say that this company is a far cry away from what they once were. Today, another blow hit the team hard as their studio head along with the director of the anticipated Dragon Age 4. What does this mean for the long heralded studio? Also, Dead Island 2 lives despite being about the undead! How exactly does this game keep kicking around? Same could be said for the Halo Infinite rumors which persist onwards as the game sits in limbo without an update. That and much more in this week's show!

Sun, 01 Nov 2020 19:00:00 -0000

Our longest episode of 2020? Sure, why not?! This week, we dig into one of the industry's most elusive titles, Cyberpunk 2077, that has thrown yet another curveball our way.

Furthermore, Halo Infinite sees even more staff changes and Anthem attempting to start a bounce back by tapping into the community for ideas they have for Anthem 2.0.
