Norderlanders: A Gaming Podcast

Wow, thank you Nintendo, we almost had no news this week, so luckily Nintendo heard our call and gave us a huge Nintendo Direct to talk about, so let's go straight into that! Bayonetta 3 was finally showed off, and yeah it looks like more Bayonetta to us! Craxy fun with satisfying combat. Kirby gets a new 3D game, that looks like it got the Breath of the Odyssey treatment. Hopefully this will make...

Remember Apple v Epic lawsuit? Well that's sorta finished (for now) and let's talk about the verdict.  Was is it a fair verdict or should Epic keep going? Let's discuss! Playstation 5 has finally gotten the update it needs, bringing several quality of lifes improvements.  The biggest, finally be able to upgrade the storage with SSD. Just be careful to get the right type of SSD, because P...

Wow, this week contained a huge bang, and that bang came from Sony Playstation. After a long time in silent, Sony finally showed off what they have been working on. Knight of the Old Republic Remake, Marvel's Wolverine, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarök and more.   It sure looks like there is a lot to look forward to, and some of them are happening very soon. We talk about everything...

Hello, can't believe we are saying this, but we have now done this podcast a full year! Hurray! We never believed we could actually go this long, but hey it's fun! So we talk about the journey and our thoughts about that. But, let's get into the gaming news! Why haven't we seen any Halo Infinite campaign? Well we discuss and worry a little bit of why that is. Is the game in trouble or are we worry...

Gamescom! Yes, we totallyforgot that happened this week, but no worries we talk interesting bits fromthe Opening Live event! Saint's Row is back, with a rebooted entry coming next year. Marvel RPG, Midnight Sun, coming next year aswell. Halo Infinite gets a release date, December8th (hopefully), and lastly Horizon Forbidden West pushed back to 2022, with a release date February 18. Then we discuss...

In this weeks episode, we've switched roles and talk about the struggles! So yea, Emil is the news writer and Jens is the editor this week. Later we also discussed how our summers had been, and we couldn't really complain, and lastly we talked about the games we had played this last week, and that Rufus started puppy school! Now, on to the news, we talk about the Fortnite VS Among us debacle. &nbs...

To celebrate our fiftieth episode, the Norderlanders went camping!  How about that? We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves. Because what you might not know, is that we are friends and actually do other stuff than this podcast. So yeah, great times.  Anywho this week we talk about the SteamDeck (again) and how risky it is to invest in a first gen product.  It is very important to...

This week wasn't really a lot so welcome to Norderlanders shortest episode yet! We start of with a topic of discussion, review bombing.  Is this the right way to send you critisizm to the developer? Trashing a game even though you have bought the game anyways and pretty much made the investors and publishers happy? Well this is something to talk about! We think that do make a difference, vote...

After a break last week, this episode will be (sort of) a recap of two weeks. Week 29 and 30. And sadly it's not a good week for gaming. Activision Blizzard has gotten a lot of fire lately and that's not weird! Toxic working environment, sexist and rotten people in charge has really put the spotlight on Activision Blizzard. So we do a complete recap of the whole case and have some thoughts about i...

It's vacation time and we couldn't record a normal episode this week (yeah, I know right?) so this week's episode will be a special episode. And the episode will be all about who we are behind Norderlanders: A Gaming Podcast. Because we haven't really introduced ourselves. So why not do this on episode 47? What's our story? Who is Emil and Jens and why did they start a podcast? Let's introduce us...

Oh man! Valve, you naughty, naughty dog. You did it. You shook up the industry. This week Valve announced their rumoured handheld console/PC hybrid. Called the Steam Deck. A new type of handheld that is basically a portable PC with controllers on the side. With this device you will be able to play your Steam library on the go. Even modern titles! Not only restricted to Steam, but you can run other...

A lot of reports and speculation this week, but hey that's okay too. New Nintendo Switch has been announced and it's not what we have hoped for. The new model will have a OLED screen, better kickstand, better audio and more storage. That's it! It's not totally unexpected since it's Nintendo we are talking about, but after some many rumours. It's a little disappointing. Both the next Grand Theft Au...

After a busy week for the both of us, we can enjoy a more filled news worthy week. So let's get in to it! Sony has been busy, who have now acquired two new studios (maybe three). First Housemarque , the developers of Returnal for PS5. An good and an obvious choice. They did a good job with Returnal and it's nice to see them appreciated and taken care of by Sony moving forward. Also Nixxes a PC por...

It's a slow week, but something interesting has come up and we'll talk about it! Potentialy the big one, Dead Space is coming back? Leaks ahead of EA Play Live which will happen on July 22nd, EA Motive is reportedly developing a new Dead Space game. Is it true? Are the clues and signs there? We think so! This is in the same vain has what happened last year with a new Skate game. Fingers crossed De...

It's time to cover the rest of E3 2021! Last episode we left off right after the Microsoft Event, so let's start with Square Enix. Stranger of Paradise (Chaos!!) was announced, a soul-like game set in the Final Fantasy Universe. Looked cool, but maybe just a Nioh with a new fresh coat of paint? The main guy was a little crinch though... Guardians of the Galaxy was announced, brand new Marvel story...

E3 is finally here! And in this episode we will cover everything uptill Microsoft/Bethesda showcase. The rest will be covered in the next episode. First of, Summer Game Fest Kick-Off Live. The Borderlands spin-off game is real, called Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. But the star of the show was of course Elden Ring. It is not dead, and it's coming sooner than expected, January 22. So the hype is real. Ve...

E3 2021 is nearing us and we talk about our hopes and what we would like to see. By the looks of it, it's gonna be pretty jampacked! So many showcases and conferences! We think we are going to see Halo Infinite and myabe Starfield? Xbox together with Bethesda this year has a lot of potential. Ubisoft may have something in the cooker. Rainbow Six Quarantine? Splinter Cell? Oh, a man can dream. Sadl...

Very good week for Norderlanders! Two awesome games where showcased and let's talk about them. This week's State of Play with the first gameplay of Horzion Forbidden West. The game looks like a improvement over the first game and that's great! Can't wait to play it, even though it will probably be on PS4. The other game that was showcased after a long silence, Dying Light 2: Stay Human. A game we...

First time ever where we actually haven't played any games this week.. And we are hosting a gaming podcast?! GET OUTTA HERE! Well anywho, Nintendo has started to use it's amiibos more sneaky, now locking content behind a paywall. Amiibos used to be so innocent, mostly being a collector's item for the fans. With only bringing cosmetic or small functions to the games. But now a whole new fast-travel...

Remember the Epic v Apple lawsuit? Well hey, it all happening right now. We do a quick recap of the case, but mostly focus on the leaks that have come forward. Sony didn't want to do crossplay, Microsoft selling Xbox at a loss and Epic paying a lot of money to give it's users free games and exclusivities. Beside from that huge ongoing case, we talk about another potential lawsuit that Sony is gett...

A special episode this week, all about the beloved game; DEEP ROCK GALACTIC Why is this game special? Why can't we stop playing it? Take a listen as we DEEP DIVE (pun intended) into this game and talk about why it is so appealing, the gameplay, why it works and encourage everyone that is looking for good gameplay loop and lot's of content to dive into, to get this game! You will not regret it. No...

We have a discussion about the price increase for games. Is it justified? Should it affect other cohntries aswell? We talk a bunch about this and somehow come to a conclusion. Always nice to get things of our chests. In relation to that, gaming has never been so popular than now. Why is that? And how the hell are they so successful, when there are shortages in world? Pretty impressive we must say....

The Gamers has spoken and Sony listened. PS3 & PSVita stores are not going away! Coming from Jim Ryan himself, they heard the backlash and reverted their decision. But don't expect that the stores will be there forever, cause sometime in the future they has to go. Hopefully Sony will give better headsup than previous. That would be great. Playstation Plus Video Pass is now a thing, giving Plus...

I guess we are late about this, but in this episode we will discuss Sony potential uncertian future. Bloomberg recent report showed us turbulence behind the scenes with Sony development teams. Days Gone 2 pitch rejected, Last of Us remake and Uncharted semi reboot. We are worried that the Sony we knew, is going away. Much of this episode is dedicated to Sony missdoings recently and what this will...

Outriders is out, and we have actually and finally played the Demo! We have some thoughts, but overall it was a cool game (demo at least). Sadly, as many game launches nowadays, Outriders had some server issues. So we discuss, should every game get the same flak when they arrive in a messy state? Does it depend on the developer? Have this happened with them before? Well, we talk about it. One thin...
