Looks like some calendar conflict with BF6 is possible. Both would be asking for some healthy spacing to avoid the Titanfall 2 release issue.

Good show yesterday, fun to hear everyoneās thoughts. Really interested in this Disney presence that everyone mentioned and if thatās first party or a partner like EA. Think it sounded like people may be thinking first party.

Interesting. I know nothing personally, but when I was sitting down and making my Xbox E3 bingo cards (my dreams one was mostly wrong, and I was expecting to see design lab in the show, not after), that particular series ended up on my list. Iāve never played one, but it seemed like it might be up next based on what else theyāve released the last few years.
So it was just a Discord DM.
About ?
Edit : nevermind I saw it

Just asking this because I really missed it at E3.
Is IO being discussed here, and Persona 5?
I just looked up the acquisition and rumour mill section, and they didnāt talk about that. For the rumour mill, again just a rumour from a DM Nick received on Discord, apparently there could be a new Quake game in development with a female lead protagonist, with both multiplayer and campaign, and co-developed by Id Software and Machine Games.
He also received another rumour in that DM about a second game, a bit more niche and hardcore than Quake, but still very much a cult classic that could come back and that would get people excited for. Though, he wants to hold onto that one a bit longer.
Quake rumor sounds very interesting then! ID and MG would be a winning team, wow.
As for IO and Persona, guess weāll have to wait and see then. If itās still a thing it could be announced later this year. Before E3 Nick seemed pretty sure of it, if those GIFs were indicative of anything.

Man - a new Quake?!?
I probably logged more hours in Quake and Quake II than any other game Iāve ever played. I spent countless hours online. My local ISP ran their own dedicated server at the time and it was so cool to be part of a Quake community in my relatively small city.
I was in clans, formed my own and built html based websites around them. Planetquake website with all of the mod support. Man, the memoriesā¦

Did anyone else have trouble hearing Jon on the most recent podcast? I kept having to crank the volume up when he was speaking. I donāt think this is the first time Iāve had this issue.
Great show, as always.

Audio or YouTube version?
I have to admit it may have been where Iād made some adjustments for the E3 live stream, and forgot to change it back.

I watched the YT Episode 62 this morning and from what I recall there was only 1 section where you were quieter to the point of being hard to hear, the other sections I didnāt think you were much off from Nick and Sam. I think that part you were simply being an extra soft spoken British Gentleman.
Granted, I did have the entire podcast cranked up but thats because the AC was running. But overall I do use higher volume levels for most/all XboxEra videos compared to other YT videos like ScreenRant or ScreenCrush or Rand al Thor 19.

The youtube version has your voice levels pegged down a few notches.

A guest request -
Have an Xbox Seven crossover episode with the Iron Lords. Either on the Xboxera channel or on the ILP. Would be good either way.
You folks are so seasoned and mature with your conversations, and the Iron Lords are one boisterous lot. That would be one interesting conversation. You had a great 2hr conversation, and they are still at it at 4 hrs.
