description / synopsis:
Within
the podcast, there will be an introduction of the game that I will be looking
at or a round up of what happened at an event. If the game is new then there
will be a breakdown of trailer and a talk about all of the latest news about
the game. If the game has been released then I will be reviewing the game and
then giving my personal views on it and if it is worth buying. I would then
talk about if there is any sort of special content within the game that could
be useful for the gamer.

Additional
Details:
Legal and ethical:
One of main things that I need to
consider is I’m I breaking any copyright laws. Since I am planning to have the external
sources of audio that I would have gathered from the internet, I would find out
whether it is free to use or not. Therefore I will need to contact the relevant
people regarding audio. Another thing that I would have to consider is that is
the content suitable for the audience, sometime in the future there may be
games that are controversial to the public for being too explicit, if we decide
to review the game it may lead to some backlash with our audience. One why we
could combat this is to include a warning before the podcast so that stop
listening to that particular if it might cause offence to them. To add to this
the other thing that I need to consider is that are the games appropriate for
me, since I am only seventeen and some
of the game out there have an eighteen rating it wold be right for me to review
it, this is because it would set up a bad example to the audience as it would
seem that I am encouraging young people to go out and play the games. Having a
radio show or podcast means that you have a certain level of responsibility for
the public.

Sample of the script:
P1: Welcome back. So back on topic: GTA V.
P2: It is now the year 2015 and rockstar north have finally released GTA v for PC, the re-release for this version was made available for PC on the 14th of April. The re-release changes little from the basic gameplay of the original version however, one of the more significant changes that have been made is that the online multiplier mode has now been increase from 16 to 30. The latest version of GTA V also includes a first person option, this seems great at first however after playing around with it a while you begin to notice that everything has become a lot harder. For example when driving you can only see what is in front of you, so you end up constantly crashing into things every time you want to turn. Although this is a setback, it also enhances other aspects of the game. An example of this is shooting, when you shooting up the place if feels like you’re playing call of duty I think that it is amazing that you can actually aim down your sights now.
P1: There's been a lot of concern about the game not running in its promised 60 frames per second. The reason? People's computers.
P2: One of the other things that I notice when playing this is that the Pc version can support 60fps and it is also 4K resolution compatible, this is good news for anyone that has the equipment to support this that wants to really bring the game alive.
