Episode 33 - The Days Are Gone.
39m · Published
Welcome to Episode 33 of the Grapplehook podcast.
This week is a rare occurrence with this being a solo episode with Matt taking the reigns! Dan will return next week.
Outriders has had a shaky launch to say the least but seems to be getting worse with players reporting an inventory wiping bug. What's more worrying is the developers response on how they will "kinda" fix it.
Bloomberg released an article shedding some light on Sony Bend, the studio behind Syphon Filter, Uncharted Golden Abyss and Days Gone. Days Gone 2 isn't happening despite it's profitability and Sony Bend has had to put some distance in-between them and Naughty Dog to avoid being assimilated. What's gone on here?
The report goes into more detail with a remake of The Last Of Us reported to be in the works and a Sony that seems to be moving away from unique titles to big blockbuster hits - Is this a step in the right direction for a ever more popular Sony?
Staying on Sony, it looks like they are moving back into the mobile space. Can they find the same level of success as Nintendo have?
A new segment of the show is introduced in this episode as well! The Grapplehook Spotlight is a section dedicated to us and the audience sharing games we feel are under appreciated and more people should check out. Matt shares his first game to be put under the spotlight!

Episode 32 - Xbox steals the show
2h 2m · Published
Welcome to episode 32 of the Grapplehook podcast.
We knew for a while that MLB the Show (developed by Sony owned San Diego Studio) was no longer a PlayStation Exclusive back in 2019. But what most didn't expect was that it would be coming to Xbox Game Pass day 1! What does this mean for Sony? Are they really the losers in this or are Sony the ones that will walk away with a big payout?
Over Easter we found out that the "demo" of Time Splitters 2 in Homefront: The Revolution was actually a full 4K release of the full campaign! So how come we can't play it? An unfortunate Discord ban reveals the answer.
E3 is confirmed to be back this year albeit in a digital format. With Nintendo, Xbox, Konami and Ubisoft confirmed to be in attendance so far, who would we like to see and do we want E3 to return?

Episode 30 - The True Nord
1h 55m · Published
Welcome to episode 30 of the Grapplehook Podcast.
Xbox live has been rebranded to Xbox Network. What does this change mean and can the changes to Xbox live really be classed as ground-breaking?
Sony is reportedly closing the PS3,PSP and PSVita stores shortly with many on social media about what happens to their digital libraries if this is true. Do gaming companies have a responsibility to ensure digital content can be downloaded forever? And why is it on Sony that seems to get stick for this when Nintendo has done this multiple times in the past?
Microsoft is eyeing up Discord with a rumoured $10billion price point. The big question on our minds is......why??
And the latest Marvel avengers upgrade system caused some people on Social Media to complain about the clunky process.. Is it actually clunky or just not as good as Xbox Series solution?
Matt and Dan have taken a dive into Nordic themed games and share their thoughts, Dan with his first play through of God of War and Matt's 5th Playthrough of Skyrim..

Episode 29 - EA Gate
1h 42m · Published
Welcome to Episode 29 of the Grapplehook Podcast.
EA's Ultimate Team has suffered a huge scandal with employees selling individual characters to people, removing the "random" draw from buying packs. Who does this actually hurt?
Jade Raymond has left Google Standa and opened a new independent studio which is backed by Playstation! What does this mean and should Playstation be aqquiring 1st party studios instead?
Horror game "Devotion" has returned to sale digitally after being removed of Steam and GOG at the 11th hour before going live. Why did it get removed in the first place and are we concerned on Chinese government influence in the gaming industry?
Dying Light 2 seems like it was announced ages ago.. and it seems like Techland agrees with them saying it was announced too early. Is it in development hell or will this game see the light of day?

Episode 28 - Welcome To The Family
1h 46m · Published
Welcome to episode 28 of the Grapplehook podcast.
Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda's parent, Zenimax, has gone ahead but not everyone is pleased now that we know the finer details of Bethesda's future when it comes to exclusivity.
There's a new Switch on the way, or so the rumours say.. With an OLED screen and 4K output, is this the update Switch owners want or do they want more power?
And Microsoft has leaked the Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy which is out next week! Do Dan and Matt plan to return to this or have either of them even played the series before?

Episode 27 - The Sinking Ship
1h 34m · Published
Welcome to episode 24 of the Grapplehook Podcast.
What is going on with Frogwares and Nacon with the game The Sinking City? Lots of drama surrounding this one with claims of piracy and hacking! Matt & Dan try to make sense of this long running feud between developer and publisher.
A new Aliens game has been announced with a Summer 2021 release. The question on everyone's mind is, will it be Alien Isolation quality or more like Colonial Marines?
Sony announced it is no longer selling or renting movies and TV shows from the PS store on August 31st. Who will this impact and does anyone actually use this service?
Fall Guys developer Mediatonic have been bought by Epic Games. What does this mean for the future of the title?
We discuss the interesting games coming out this week and if we're intending to give them a go.

Bonus Episode 1 - The State of The State Of Play
1h 2m · Published
Sony dropped a "State of Play" event outside of our usual recording schedule..
So instead of missing the event, we checked it out and put together this "bonus" episode for you to enjoy!
The State of Play was 30 mins long and showcased 10 games. What did we think of the games shown off? What did we think of the trailers and overall, was the event great or was it a dud?

Episode 26 - A Blizzard is coming..
1h 44m · Published
Welcome to episode 26 of the Grapplehook podcast!
Blizzcon 2021 was this week and made quite the splash. There's new expansions to WoW & WoW classic en route, some new info on Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 and Diablo 2 Resurrected! All exiting games we talk about on the show.
Playstation VR is not dead and is getting a PS5 iteration which will release beyond 2021. It seems all the criticisms of the old headset have been addressed and the new headset will take advantage of Dualsense functions!
The Play At Home Initiative from Playstation returns with some new freebies whilst we are stuck inside, clawing at the windows..
And finally it seems we have some solid details of the new upcoming Battlefield game due out later this year. Modern setting akin to Battlefield 3 but next gen level destruction and 128+ player maps!
