TrueAchievements Episode 4909 Dec 201601:09:34

We've gone ID@Xbox mad this week. Partly due to the fact that Dead Rising 4 was the only big release from the past week, but also due to our new regular Twitch streams of ID@Xbox games.

On this week's show, we talk about Dead Rising 4 and some of the strange and wonderful weapon and clothing combos available, the 15 minutes 100% completion that is Energy Cycle, the brutally tough Furi, Wand Wars' couch multiplayer and the very British humour available in Her Majesty's SPIFFING.

TrueAchievements Episode 4802 Dec 201601:09:06

The rush of games has finally slowed down, which meant none of us started any new games this week - well not that we can talk about, unfortunately. Instead Rich spent some more time with Watch_Dogs 2, Jack took a break from regional variants to play some Overcooked, and I returned to Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection before switching to an upcoming new release that's filled with zombies and photographs.

On this week's show, we talk about the latest site updates, our exciting new link-up with ID@Xbox and why Rich is wearing leather pants to celebrate. We also go through what we've been playing, all of the big news stories from the past week, take a look at the games that will be coming our way next week, and answer your questions from the history of TA to what we like on our chips (french fries for the non-English).

TrueAchievements Episode 3809 Sep 201601:12:08

Today is a very special podcast for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because it marks our 50th show (including specials), but most importantly because we were lucky enough to be joined at the end of the show by a very special guest, Grant Orban from Playground Games, who gave us an insight in to what goes into making a game like Forza Horizon 3.

On this week's show we talk about what we've been playing this week, NBA 2K17: The Prelude, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex (Win 10), the UHH 2 Contest, the latest news and new achievement lists from the past week, as well as speaking to exclusively Grant about Forza Horizon 3.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Harry Potter RPG Leak and More05 Oct 201801:15:16

In last week's podcast notes, I mentioned that we had been tossing around the idea of switching from a solely TA focussed podcast to a TGN podcast, where we can discuss and debate all of the latest news and games from both Xbox and PlayStation. Thankfully, the feedback was positive, and so this week, we'd like to introduce you to the very first episode of the TGN podcast!

Time was our enemy this week. Rich and Jack were both busy working on new site developments until late in the afternoon, and then my children turned my normally short walk from school into a 15 minute hunt for Pokemon, but as promised, we still put aside some time to record this week's show! That's three for three in July, C'mon!

On this week's show we talk about Trials of the Blood Dragon, Pac-Man 256, Halo 5: Guardians recent title updates, the stunning Gears of War 4 Limited Edition console and controllers, Killer Instict's Definitive Edition, the new site merchandise, our revamped newsletter and much more.

TrueAchievements Episode 3008 Jul 201600:42:59

As mentioned by Rich on last week's show, the TA Podcast is now being recorded weekly! For you, the listener, it means you get at least twice the number of shows per month, and for us it means we can talk about more time sensitive news items and also forces us to actually play some games.

On this week's show we talked about the new free to play title, HAWKEN, my thoughts on Inside, Jack's ongoing search for a decent Certified item in Rocket League, the announcement that all future Microsoft published games would be coming to Play Anywhere (and their subsequent backtrack, GTA V's new "Cunning Stunts" update, this year's Bean Dive and next week's new releases.

139: Forza Horizon 4, Telltale Layoffs, Fortnite Cross-Play and More28 Sep 201801:12:57

Welcome to episode 139 of the TrueAchievements podcast. Before we get into what we've covered on this week's show, we'd like to thank all of you that took the time to provide some feedback on the format of the show. The general consensus was that reading out long lists of new achievements and new releases were boring a low point, so we've made some changes this week to only discuss the bigger games and the ones that really interest us.

We've also been swapping around some ideas internally, and one of the suggestions we thought might be worth exploring is switching from a solely TA focussed podcast to a TGN podcast, where we can discuss and debate all of the latest news and games from both Xbox and PlayStation. Of course, that would mean we'd mostly be covering the same things we normally would be as most of the big games are multi-platform, with the odd discussion around some PS4 exclusives thrown in for good measure. If you have any thoughts (both pros and cons) on this idea, please let us know in the comments below.

With all that out of the way, let's get back to this week's episode.

On this week's show, we give you the chance to win an Xbox One download code of your choosing from our giveaway sack (leave us a comment in the thread below to enter), we give you our impressions on Forza Horizon 4, we chat about last week's surprising news that Telltale have laid off the vast majority of its workforce, we cover all of the big announcements from the latest Inside Xbox stream, and Jack and Ollie dig holes in Construction Simulator 2. We also discuss the rest of this week's biggest news announcements, take a look at what we've been playing over the past seven days, chat about our ID@Xbox streams, look at the games coming our way over the next seven days, and answer your questions, including the question of the week.   Links:
