The 8th episode of Bammsters podcast, Rated-R, with special guests Cosmic Picnic, for Amazing Discoveries In Outer Space!
News:
* PS4 vs X1 sales numbers
* Bungie rotates management
* American Gods (Neil Gaiman) coming to TV
Rant:
Today in Bamms corner, we will discuss the oddity that is the term “Beta”.
“Oddity? Bamm what are you talking about?”
Let me start by saying that the Betas we have been play testing on the PS4 and other platforms are not Betas. The only thing we as gamers are testing is server load. The recent Betas being released are so well polished and so complete, that there is very little time for us gamers to supply adequate feedback to the developers to enact meaningful changes to the game. What narks me is the £5 wall this Demo is stuck behind.
Special Guests:
We welcome a new Bammster, Jolly Roger, for his first interview with Niclas and Filip of Cosmic Picnic, the team behind the game Amazing Discoveries In Outer Space (ADIOS). The game is a new take on space exploration, and releasing on PS4 tomorrow, February 2nd.
From the review: "Amazing Discoveries in Outer Space is a fairly easy game that would be good to play if looking to relax. While it didn't provide too much of a challenge, it kept me interested, even if it was a bit repetitive."
It may be awhile off but many issues we may see in No Man's Sky are likely to be found in Amazing Discoveries in Outer Space.

Dear fellow explorers,
Do you ever get that ache in your heart when you think about something beautiful or somewhere you want to go? A sunset off of a cliff in a distant land? A breeze through the trees as you think of all the places where you could fly away to? I’ve always felt this ache in my chest when I think about outer space. The vast openness of its raw possibility, the galactic beauty of its assets, the gut-wrenching fear of its infinite blackness; all of these can take my breath away in a moment.
