Jesse Lucatino (JMLMaster) joins Anthony, Jeff & Miguel to talk Xbox Series X and PS5 impressions! We go over features we do and don't like on the new consoles, talk about the fascinating and excellent Astro's Playroom, dig into some other next gen games and lambast the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War multiplayer.
Also - this is, in fact, episode 30. Anthony looked at the wrong Google Doc for the episode number, oops?

This week we talk about a whole bunch of stuff, unfortunately we had some technical difficulties so our discussion on Ghost of Tsushima's new co-op Legends move didn't make it in and our introduction to talking about Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Zombies starts a bit...abrupt. Sorry about that! Hey, it's been a whole bunch of episodes since something wonky like this happens, we promise we'll make it up to you next week *nervous shrug*. We talk about Need For Speed Most Wanted's new remaster, Peter Parker's new makeover, Cyberpunk 2077 going gold and Miguel does a round of "Buy It At Launch Or Not". I dunno, he put us on the spot, we didn't really have a name for it. Enjoy!
What a week! We start off this week's episode by recapping the lovely time everyone had trying to preorder their choice of next gen consoles and then get into the implications and immediate reactions to the news of Microsoft purchasing Zenimax. We discuss a lot of topics including the price point for next gen storage, Sony's decision not to give Spider-Man 2018 a free PS5 upgrade and more! Anthony and Jeff also give their thoughts on Super Mario 3D All Stars & Supergiant's Hades which both released for Nintendo Switch this past week! Don't forget to tell your friends about us! :P
Ahhhhhhhhh! It's finally here, the official price and release date for the PlayStation 5! We get into a good discussion about what Sony showed today at the PS5 showcase and more!

On the latest episode of Faster Than Reloading, the guys talk about the reveal for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, a true sequel to the original Call of Duty: Black Ops 1. We also discuss the looming pre-order announcement for PlayStation 5 and what specifically we think we will pre-order from Sony's launch lineup of consoles and accessories. Gamescom happened in 2020's weird way of delivering gaming news, and we go over that as well (but just the important stuff). We wrap up with some talk about our favorite Call of Duty campaigns and which studios have delivered the best experiences since the launch of the original Modern Warefare!
The guys at FTR have some catching up to do as we return from a week off. We recap all of the reveals from DC Fandome 2020 including WB Montreal's Gotham Knights and Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League! Apex Legends Season 6 launched this past week and Miguel and Anthony give their feedback on the new additions to the game including a new Legend, the new Replicator and new map additions. We also talk about a few delays including Halo Infinite and Deathloop, talk about our hype levels for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Jeff gives an update to the Epic Games vs Apple saga. We hope you enjoy this meaty episode as we gear up for more next-gen talk in the coming weeks!
This week on FTR we recap Sony's solid State of Play showing as well as go over some news including the PS4's monumental sales figures, discuss in further detail the Spider-Man exclusivity for Avengers and WB's decision NOT to sell any of their gaming division. This week's "what we've been playing" includes the wholesome yet infuriating Fall Guys and the Marvel's Avengers beta which launches this past weekend!
This week on Faster Than Reloading we speculate on what Sony's next State of Play could be about, discuss what the next Modern Warfare patch could mean for our free hard drive space, discuss some new Halo Infinite news, and Anthony gets to play with his new soundboard (sorry, not sorry :D). Miguel also addresses some serious concerns regarding racism on YouTube and the need for the platform to step up their moderation abilities. Guys, come on, we all need to be better.
This week we break down some Ghost of Tsushima news including record breaking sales figures and a free new update, we talk some Call of Duty 2020 leaks and the future of Warzone as well as go over August's free PlayStation Plus games. Anthony and Miguel have put a good amount of time into Hi-Rez' Rogue Company and give their impressions about it (and Miguel has a hot take about him purchasing a founder's pack!) Ubisoft gave some insight into their potential future pricing model for next gen, which leads us into a variety of next gen discussions including our thoughts on Xbox Game Pass!
Twitter: @FTR_Pod - let us know your thoughts!

Anthony has been playing 6 different games as usual, Jeff is playing Destiny as usual, and Miguel revisits a Sony game that slipped him by for a Platinum. This week we delve into the UbiForward showcase and discuss what we saw for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla & the Far Cry 6 reveal. We discuss a very strange subject regarding a Modern Warfare skin, talk about Devolver's wacky antics and get hyped for Ghost of Tsushima!
This week on FTR, Anthony and Miguel give their thoughts on Ubisoft's new Battle Royal game Hyper Scape - a Titanfall-like fast paced future BR. Anthony has been losing himself to The Phantom Pain again, Jeff now lives in Manhatten and Miguel has played 35 games in the past week alone. We also discuss some sucky news like 2K's very strange and almost predatory cross-generation game plans and condemn the heinous acts by some really terrible people abusing Neil Druckmann and Laura Bailey on social media. Be better, guys!
This week Anthony, Miguel and Jeff talk about the Avengers game live stream, CD Projekt Red's Night City Wire Episode 1 for CyberPunk 2077, Microsoft shuttering it's streaming service Mixer and The Last of Us Part II's record setting sales numbers!
