Unlocked x Xcast: The Ultimate Xbox Podcast Crossover – Unlocked 619
The greatest Xbox podcast crossover ever happens now! IGN's Podcast Unlocked and Kinda Funny's Xcast have joined forces for an Xbox podcast tour-de-force. First we discuss the brilliance of Alan Wake 2 and the Max Payne 1+2 Remakes that Remedy is about to go into full production on before discussing Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski's recent comments about Gears needing a reboot.

Who will get left out? Join us, and don't forget to go to humblebundle.com and pick up the IGN Editor's Choice Bundle, the proceeds of which benefit the Extra Life children's charity!

Xbox's Partner Stream Suprised and Delighted
We did the podcast live this week immediately following Xbox's Partner Preview livestream, and we spent the entire episode being pleasantly surprised by both the things Microsoft promised would be there (like Alan Wake 2, Ark: Survival Ascended, and Dungeons of Hinterberg), and the things that were surprises (like Metal Gear solid Delta, Still Wakes the Deep, and The Finals). Plus, we give some constructive criticism on Xbox's latest presentation format.

Customer Reviews
Almost great
They tend to talk more about the business side of gaming, but that’s mostly because Xbox doesn’t produce a ton of their own games for them to talk about.
Cast: Miranda is great. Destin is great. Ryan is a good dude but tends to be way too long winded. Stella has got to learn how to talk without laughing.. geezus please.
Needs a revamp
I would listen every week to a show that was just Ryan and Destin. This current version of the podcast I check out every few weeks to see who the lineup is. And usually check out. I do not hate the other hosts or guest hosts, far from it, but simply don’t add much to the conversation. I want to hear what the old guard fan boys (or fan girls) have to say about the x-box eco system. I checked out on Stella, (with no hard feelings or hatred towards her) when she was brought on as the “FPS expert” of ign, and on the first episode she said she had never played halo. ALL credibility on X-box and FPSs gone. I do not know why she’s still on the show.
To break down, Ryan and Destin show 👍👍👍
Ryan and Destin and almost anyone else 👎👎👎
good podcast, dunked on my favorite game r6 tho 😔
in episode 605 i think they said that it would be impossible or hard for you to join. i feel if you have any past knowledge on realistic games it is quite east to get started. i joined siege a year back and i had my friends to guide me. it can be a very sweaty place but can also be a friday night game. if you play quick match it’s often times very fun and chill axed it’s definitely harder when your friends a higher rank then you and your playing ranked but if you play unranked or quick match it can very much be a goofy fun game but can quickly turn into a sweaty 1v1 it just depends on where your skill level is and who your playing with
