Since this week has been a bit light on news and new game releases, we take the opportunity to look back at our how the global pandemic and the lockdowns in India changed the way we approach gaming.

In this episode of the IVG Podcast: What's happenning with Cyuberpunk 2077? Resident Evil 8 Codemasters' new F1 game got EA'd All the drama surrounding Days Gone 2 Outriders has so many issues, but we still can't get enough Who wants a The Last of Us remake?

After a two-month hiatus, the IVG Podcast is back, and naturally, there is a whole lot to discuss. The biggest development since our last podcast has been the launch of the PS5, and this is also the first podcast since all three of us have had enough time with both new consoles. So here are some of the topics we’ve covered in this episode: PS5 teething issues Replaying the best of PS4 on PS5 Is Dualsense really a game-changer? Outriders, and Square-Enix’s track record with Western IP Switch Pro could be Sam’s first Nintendo Thoughts on the Mortal Kombat movie trailer Nash’s Yakuza struggles Rocket League is Gagan’s new Fortnite Hopes for Battlefield 6

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: 15 years ago: We look back at the Xbox 360 launch in India The birth of IVG as an Xbox forum Revisiting classic Xbox games through backwards compatibility We're divided on Bioware games: Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Jade Empire Our thoughts on the Golden Joystick awards Why is COD Cold War getting hate? Give Dirt 5 a shot!

In this week's episode of the IVG Podcast: We discuss why PS5 India launch is nowhere in sight Why Call of Duty Cold War doesn't have a release in India CrackWatch: Republic's embarrassing gaming coverage Impending censorship for gaming in India

In this week's podcast, we spend a little bit of time on next-gen consoles, but for a change, a chunk of this episode is dedicated to the games. Here's what we've covered in episode 59: India's first Xbox Series X unboxing Xbox Series X|S review round-up Will there be Xbox consoles in stores on launch day? Dirt 5 review Spider-man: Miles Morales review Assassin's Creed Valhalla impressions Open-world games bloat

In this week's episode of the IVG Podcast: PS5 launch date confusing PS5 unboxing and size reactions Dualsense controller's glowing impressions Cyberpunk delayed again No Xbox Game Pass price increase, says Microsoft Watch Dogs Legion review AMD RX 6000 announement Jio broadband making things difficult for Indian gamers

It's been an eventful week in gaming, both in India and abroad, and that's reflected in this episode of the IVG Podcast. We're also glad that this time around, we're talking as much about games as the consoles we'll be playing them on. Here's a list of topics in this week's episode: PS5 India pricing. Does it make sense to go digital? The logic behind owning both Xbox Series X and PS5 Spiderman: Miles Morales gameplay reactions Assassin's Creed Valhalla looks impressive Is Ubisoft sending Watch Dogs Legion out to die? Ghost of Tshushima's bad ass co-op update No one is playing Marvel's Avengers Why you should be playing Raji: An Ancient Epic Ubisoft India is hiring Doom Eternal: Third time's the charm

After a frantic few weeks, this past week has been relatively more relaxed in the gaming world, but as always, there's plenty for us to talk about in the IVG Podcast. Here's a jist of what we've covered in episode 55: Xbox Series X first impressions from media PS5 game prices for India leaked on PSN Spider-man PS5 upgrades Call of Duty Cold War's Zombies mode Ubisoft finally acknowledges that people really don't like Hyperscape Rogue Company, and how hard it is for new competitive shooters to break through Why we have a hard time sympathising with the CD Projekt Red crunch news

Another event full week in gaming, both in India and globally, and we're here to talk about it all in episode 54 of the IVG Podcast. Before we get to the topics for this week, a big shout out to AMD for hooking us up with the PC gaming rig that we'll be using for streams and reviews going forward on IVG. Here's a quick round up of this week's episode: An update on month 3 of the IVG Showcase reminder and our FIFA 20 Farewell Cup What Microsoft’s $7.5 billion power move means for Bethesda’s franchises, Game Pass, Xbox sales and PlayStation gamers Xbox Series X preorders sold out but you might still be able to get one Does Microsoft's push towards Game Pass endanger single-player games? Sony India remains silent on PS5 launch plans, and retailers aren't helping either Amazon Luna and what it’s doing differently from its potential game streaming rivals Our impressions of Mafia Definition Edition, PES 2021, Serious Sam 4 and The Division 2's new Summit mode

Sony finally broke its silence on launch date and pricing for the PS5, but unfortunately for Indian gamers, Sony India is yet to make its plans known. But that gives us plenty to discuss on this episode of the IVG Podcast Here’s a run down of what you can expect to here from us on this week’s episode: A quick update on the IVG Community Showcase months 2 and 3 PS5 global launch price and dates Sony India’s silence on PS5 launch plans and what it could mean Sony’s big announcements (God of War) and PS5 launch line-up PS Plus Collection thoughts and backwards compatibility ambiguity Sony’s flip-flop on cross-gen games

It's been an extraordinarily eventful week, and that is reflected in yet another extended edition of the IVG Podcast. Here's what we've covered this week. IVG Showcase - Vote for month two finalists IVG’s FIFA 2020 Farewell Cup Xbox Series X/S pricing, launch details and positioning - we break it all down Online backlash towards Prince of Persia Sands of Time Remake Ubisoft Forward announcements and talking points COD Cold War multiplayer: Treyarch brings some of the Battlefield flavour How DICE dropped the ball on Battlefield Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning impressions

In this episode of the IVG Podcast, we try to put the horrible memories of Gamescom and hypothesise about what we might see at Ubisoft Forward. But that’s only part of what we have in store in this extended edition of the IVG Podcast, where one lucky listener also has a chance to win a cool Marvel’s Avengers Steelbook. Here’s a complete rundown of IVG Podcast episode 51: Winding up month two of the IVG Community Showcase IVG Game Nights are back News round-up: The Division 2’s new game mode, Mario anniversary announcements, The Witcher 3 coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X Marvel Avengers launch-window impressions Nvidia’s RTX 30 series and wondering why PC gaming has to be so expensive India’s PUBG Mobile ban and its indigenous, propaganda-laden replacement A Gamescom to forget Ubi Forward: What’s confirmed, what we expect, and our dream for a new Splinter Cell game

It’s time for a celebration because India’s first gaming podcast – the IVG Podcast – has reached a milestone of 50 episodes. What’s really incredible about it thought is that it’s taken us more than 12 years to reach this landmark. From being called the GI Podcast to the IVG Podcast – and briefly even the Third World Gamers' Podcast – the last 50 episodes have been quite a journey through the history of gaming in India, but as we always do, it’s time to look ahead. And there’s a whole lot of that in this week’s episode of the IVG Podcast: IVG Community Showcase: Your chance to win Marvel’s Avengers Call of Duty Warzone’s Black Ops Cold War reveal live event Everything we know about COD Black Ops Cold War so far Fornite’s cool Marvel event Mini-review of UFC 4 (full review here) Takeaways from DC FanDome: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Gotham Knights Microsoft Flight Simulator impressions

Just one to go before the big five-o and there was a lot to cover in this episode of the IVG Podcast: Month two of the IVG Community Showcase The Halo Infinite delay A console without a big first-party launch title DC FanDome: Will we see any gameplay? Horizon: Zero Dawn and Marvel's Avengers PC ports Does Games as a service work for superhero games? Fall Guys: A pleasant surprise

In this week's episode of the IVG Podcast, we touch upon multiple topics, including: The return of the IVG Library - donate and borrow games with the IVG community Nash's thoughts on the Avengers PS4 closed beta What we want from Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game Horizon Zero Dawn PC port issues The complete lack of PS5 news during PlayStation's State of Play Microsoft ditching iOS for xCloud PlayStation VR and why VR hasn't taken off

We start off this episode with some cool new developments around the IVG community, but then dive straight into our big topic of discussion for this week: the July Xbox showcase and the aftermath of it. Some the talking points this week: Halo Infinite drama No other first-party gameplay No immediate first-party launch games Microsoft's Game Pass focus How Game Pass is dictating the way Microsoft makes games Does it even make sense to buy an Xbox Series X? Can Series S save Xbox? We also give our views on which console we think will perform better as well as which one we'll be picking up at launch. Or will we just upgrade our PCs and get on Games Pass? Listen to find out!

Ghost of Tsushima is out, it’s awesome, it’s sold out, and we can’t get enough of it, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg for this week’s episode of the IVG Podcast. Here’s a quick rundown of the topics we’ve covered this time: Introducing the IVG Community Showcase Ghost of Tsushima (sort of review), how it sold out in India The game that had to die for Ghost of Tsushima to be born We weigh in on all the drama around Ubisoft’s work culture Impact of the pandemic on gaming The decline of the racing genre What we're playing

We just won’t go away! One year after the last one, we’re back with the latest episode of the IVG Podcast. And what a good time to come back too, hot on the heels of the Ubisoft Forward event. This episode is predominantly focussed on what went down during Ubisoft’s digital event, but here’s a detailed look at what you can expect from this comeback episode, featuring Sam (HundredProofSam), Nash, and newcomer to the IVG Podcast, Gagan (x1n): The surprise of the show: Watch Dogs Legion Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s gameplay debut Cross-gen games and Microsoft’s policy to release future games on Xbox One Ubisoft’s utter disdain for Splinter Cell We’ll never see another Prince of Persia game Far Cry 6 expectations Does Hyper Scape have the legs to compete with the big boys of battle royale? The Last of Us Part II appreciation segment Nash contemplates playing Death Stranding on PC

The world’s most irregular gaming podcast is back. A decade since the first one and three years since the last one, we’re finally back with episode 44 of the IVG Podcast. This time around, we’ve got on-board an IVG Podcast regular Sam (HundredProofSam), one of its founding members who is back after several years Nash, and making his IVG Podcasr debut, Nikhil (Bullismasher). This episode is a mix of the biggest news dominating the gaming world, our views on the games we’re currently playing, as well as future releases we’re looking forward to. Here’s a breakdown of the topics we’ve covered this time: Google Stadia and a future with game streaming Borderlands 3: More of what we really don’t want What we’re playing: The Division 2, Anthem, Apex Legends, DMC 5 and the resurgence of Japanese games, Sekiro What’s coming out: Days Gone, Mortal Kombat 11, Dangerous Driving, World War Z
