One year is over and now another year has begun. Personally, I've never seen anything like this happen before but I'll do my best to put that out of my head and get stuck into what is sure to become the new craze of 2025: "Podcasting". We're taking a look ahead at the games we'll be playing this year: there's a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima which we can neither remember nor pronounce the title of, there's a new Grand Theft Auto on the horizon, a new Monster Hunter, a new Civilization, a new Switch!!?? And with God as our witness, you'll hear about all of them and plenty, plenty more on this episode of Filthy Casuals! <ul><li><a href="http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcasts</a></li><li><a href="https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandcamp Premium Episodes</a></li><li><a href="https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasuals" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube - including live streams and Let's Plays</a></li><li><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/filthycasualspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitch</a></li></ul>

Episode 479: The Most Exciting Upcoming Games of 2025

After a 2024 full of talking about games, it's finally time to talk about the games of 2024. We've all got favourites, and we aren't afraid to share them! Who will earn a coveted spot amongst the Filthy Casuals Games of the Year? There's only two ways to find out: by listening to this podcast, or by asking somebody who has already listened to this podcast and also has a pretty incredible memory. Speaking of incredible memories, this is Adam and I just wanted to say again here in podcast description format: thank you all so much for listening to me on Filthy Casuals. I'm excited to see the show continue with Tommy and Ben, and I'm sure I will see you all again in the not too distant.

Episode 478: Game of the Year 2024

It's time to frock up, awards season is here. Which of course in the world of video games means you're watching 60 trailers in an expensive dress. And loving it! We talk through all the big announcements from this year's Game Awards, including a bunch of surprises like Elden Ring Nightreign, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy, The Witcher 4, the Okami Sequel, a new Onimusha game, and an actual ton more. This gown is super uncomfortable though so maybe it would have been nice to listen to a podcast recapping all the big announcements rather than coming all the way out to this theatre. If only there were a way...

Episode 477: The Game Awards 2024

A red line appears on a map, tracking the flight of this podcast from Filthy City to Your-Ears-Ville. On board the plane are three adventurers, out to hunt ancient relics such as Unreal Tournament and the news that Epic are giving some of its series' games away for free now, news that Wallace and/or Gromit may be Pokemon, and reviews of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Antonblast, as well as much more.

Episode 476: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Seasons may be changing into a Christmasy winter or a festive summer, subject to your hemisphere, but what is evidently a global and year-round constant is the dependable presence of new leaks around the Switch 2. We've got some good ones this week, and we talk new joy-cons and screen sizes. For those of you who already knew the Switch 2 would have controls and a screen, we also talk Ben's new Raspberry Pi, Adam's thoughts on the Silent Hill 2 remake, and a whole bunch more! 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

Episode 475: Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks, Silent Hill 2, Raspberry Pi

The desolate, toxic wasteland of podcasting is braved once again by three courageous men with only an enormous amount of weaponry to protect them. In the Zone this week are our early thoughts on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a potential new PlayStation handheld console and the new train carriage they've made in the meantime, future plans for the Final Fantasy and Witcher series, and a whole bunch more! 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

Episode 474: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

The nominations for podcast which contains some discussion about which games are nominated for Game of the Year at the Game Awards are: Filthy Casuals. And probably heaps of others, but us too! We talk about the noms for the big prize, Half-Life 2’s 20th anniversary, plus the recent Warcraft remasters, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remaster, The Rise of the Golden Idol, and more! We’d like to thank the podcast academy for this honour. 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans! Use code FILTHY at checkout.

Episode 473: The Rise of the Golden Idol

It’s been a big year for brothers reuniting after long absences, but the Oasis of video games is back with Mario &amp; Luigi: Brothership. Tommy’s played it, Adam’s played a little Rise of the Golden Idol, Ben’s played a little Metal Slug Tactics, and we’ve all played a little “What’s In The News This Week?” The answer? Things like the launch of the PS5 Pro, Shigeru Miyamoto walking around a theme park by himself, Persona 5’s music being nominated for a Grammy, Ubisoft facing a potential lawsuit over The Crew’s shutdown, and even more. Have a listen, in my honest opinion! <ul><li><a href="http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcasts</a></li><li><a href="https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandcamp Premium Episodes</a></li><li><a href="https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasuals" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube - including live streams and Let's Plays</a></li><li><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/filthycasualspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitch</a></li></ul>

Episode 472: Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Tear open your podcast booster pack, because I have a good feeling you’ve got a rare Tommy, a shiny Ben and a hollow Adam inside for this week’s expansion pack to the Filthy Casuals Trading Card Game. Perhaps you could trade them for a Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Chat card, a Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Review card, or a few different news cards like Playdate Season 2 and Halo 2 E3 Demo Release. Or you could just listen to this episode of Filthy Casuals and collect the whole set and more! <ul><li><a href="http://www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcasts</a></li><li><a href="https://filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandcamp Premium Episodes</a></li><li><a href="https://youtube.com/c/FilthyCasuals" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube - including live streams and Let's Plays</a></li><li><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/filthycasualspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitch</a></li></ul>
