the world biggest video game show III has just delivered an absolute wealth of new announcements enough to excite even the most hardened gamer old friend Luke west away from outside extra is joining us to tell us what really mattered from the show and what you should be excited for in a year ahead welcome to the scene at UK podcast hello and welcome to show and welcome back to Luke hello it has been a while since we've had you it's been too long too long it's been a few months I think yeah it's all changed this brick work is new there's a mutant in video form last time you want to share we know in your living room I think what I was stroking your cat's and yeah you were drinking cup of tea yeah yeah happy you're tired now I have to think about my posture when my eyebrows are because we're being recorded you didn't ask if you wanted to put powder on before and we said no it's fine we're not really a paradise or surface so if you are watching the video version of this and you're thinking Luke could look better just just be aware that I tried I I tried and I shot it down because I don't want you to look better than me because I don't have powder I could have found adjust both I only wish we'd have done that man um Luke you have been out at e3 of course and how was the show it was good it was a really good year for announcements actually yeah yeah well there were um there were a few big surprises you don't always get surprises at e3 slow stuff leaks beforehand yeah but nevertheless there were a few big shocks there are a few things that we thought we were gonna be there that weren't which we can come on to you later yeah cuz I think that's kind of interesting as well the things that you expect that you don't get absolutely they get withheld but yeah generally it was a strong show I mean I think for me I've really noticed that there's been nothing really talked about in terms of hardware which is not surprising because we're not in you know we're not expecting a new Playstation and new Xbox we're new swish it won't be long no no we just had the Xbox one X and the ps4 Pro right like last year year before so I wouldn't yeah well last year and year before yeah but but you know they tried to bring these things out sort of fairly regularly see I feel like you know you've got an interest inside of it I know I've genuinely I have no insights or smoky room yeah mr. way let me tell you about the new Playstation oh yes please I don't know your way while I'm not cool in this would you except it being the cool one you know in this noir scene that I've mentally seen there at all which is why I don't get the inside of the inside outside I think Microsoft in particular will be keen to get a new Xbox out as soon as they possibly can because they have not really been the winner of this generation as much as the console wars are nonsense and you shouldn't buy into it as a consumer from Microsoft's point of view they have not really Seldon if you're looking spec for spec they're not they're not really a rising yeah and in terms of like they've not I don't I don't think it's controversial to say they've not done as well on exclusive games for the for the Xbox that was something they were going like big for this year they're a couple of tasty-looking exclusive actually new halo got announced yeah but a lot of games get announced at e3 in the way in a way that doesn't really mean anything it's like do you think they were ever going to make a new halo of course they yeah absolutely we know that was get out so the fact they confirm that there is one and show you a logo and like two seconds of not lovely CGI trailer yeah that sort of well yes obviously they pulled the same trick with first of all the same trick with the Elder Scrolls for six you have scroll six which is very very exciting until you think well hang on obviously they were always going to make one all they've confirmed is that they are up shivering it and they probably won't be until 2022 this may as well have been announced at e3 2021 as in the next year or two they will be an Elder Scrolls six because it will be that long because they've got an entire other franchise to come out first but before we get too deep into that so we say we've got no real new hardware but you said there's been some big surprises yeah yeah what what has been what's taken off your socks the biggest surprises in your hands and my personal cell career yes of course did you did take them yeah your when you do tube you get you get assigned as I assumed as much when one for each photo did they do no no no used to be but times of time stylist time at once oh yeah surprise surprise it's the biggest surprise the thing that rocked my socks all the way off was cyberpunk 2077 yeah now this is the new game from CD Projekt RED - you may not have heard of because they're not a huge name really but they are the developers of The Witcher 3 which one is the most popular and one of the best games of the last I know it's a lot easy isn't it mm-hmm it's a big open world fantasy RPG it's got swords it's got monsters it's got magic so that's something I would love considering I'm a huge family sky man the oldest Club I have never played the which you should you really should because it's spectacular it's a brilliant brilliant game it's got everything that I know you like yeah I've got that sort of huge world it's got a billion quests and hundreds of hours and you can play through it again and again with different character builds and stuff like that can you see like the the existential crisis I'm currently having having missed out on such an important is that you can still play it I can still play when was a Witcher 3 oh uh oh gosh I want to say 2014 wait to show Theory let's check that chicken out now 10 out of 10 on Steam always on Steam I can get it on my steam account that's great and 5 out of 5 on the Microsoft Store 2015 ok team that earns like it's worth playing yeah always definitely worth playing and the new game from the developers is looking similarly exciting but very very different yeah so it's based on cyberpunk 2020 which is a tabletop RPG so like I saw Dungeons & Dragons style game it's set in a dystopian hi-tech eighties infused future where everything is neon everyone is a cyborg there's incredible poverty mega corporations run America and you are a sort of a blazer runner isn't it in the Blade Runner very very blatant no wasn't this laid run of the RPG isn't so long 27 2077 a film also remember quite a few years ago there was a really awesome trailer of this cyborg woman yeah horribly killing huge groups of like cyborgs police I believe or police and was it was really great it was all 3d done it was very very dramatic and and it was this I think it was just a teaser trailer before it was officially announced it was coming and I thought that was for a film but I don't remember if there was it was a teaser trailer it had a sort of Bionic Woman she had like mantis cool yeah yeah yeah okay so that was a teaser trailer for this game that I believe came out in 2013 that's how laws for this game yeah was for the case it wasn't for a film that get their name out that year no no that was for this get that's how long this has been on the boil Wow and yeah so it's been very very long awaited and we weren't sure we were going to get to see it to this III or perhaps ever but lo and behold there it is and it has been showing off in quite some detail they publicly they've put out there a trailer which is a very very cool trailers about a minute and a half long privately at e3 they were showing members of the media a 50 minute gameplay demo 50/50 5-0 of which no footage is available anywhere so although I've seen that I cannot I can we we can't get that b-roll from you you can't get that beer up on the pod you can't see it so you'll just have to take my word for it mine we yeah we can like try it it's the first thing I would mine is this because it's first-person okay which is a little bit surprising and you know not typical for our be big open-world RPGs you can it's got full character customisation so you can choose your gender you can choose tattoos and hair what color your eyes glow you can choose your backstory like in Mass Effect so it's it's an RPG down to it down to its yeah very cool very modern and but will they still have the same RPG tropes in terms of it's like skill tree development and and you you get bigger and better weapons absolutely as you get further into the game all the usual things you'd expect from any RPG yeah but the setting is this dystopian modern world yes sort of robots and that's exactly right it's probably most akin to Deus Ex if you've seen any of the Reese deus ex games but it's got a slightly different aesthetic it's got a slightly sort of more madcap kind of amped up you know wired kind of thing it's not like Deus Ex is a little bit kind of cool like neo from the matrix kind of like yeah or as this is this is more does he take itself very seriously is it that's all gay no we're like it's not trying to make some sort of social statement it's very much here's just a lot of nonsense and big bangs and so I think both I think it looks like one of those those brilliant games that might be able to just sort of have it both ways okay the game doesn't look like it takes itself too seriously in the in the 50 minutes that I saw there was definitely humor and satire but it is you know the story is serious it's not like a game like Borderlands for example where everything is like ridiculous and cartoonish yeah oh yeah it is the story is quite serious the the stakes are quite high for your character so okay it's low it looks really good so that's one to look forward to and is that due out this year or is that an answer but we don't know I think we actually know the release date exactly so probably not this year then no but the detail has been showing off it I wouldn't be surprised if it was next year okay okay next year um so let's look towards some of the other big titles that have been discussed and last service - yes I made a splash um do we know that obviously we assumed as I said before that there would be a Last of Us - yeah in some way but had we heard anything about this before III was it the first time we've had an official line on no we'd seen little bits and pieces we'd seen a couple of trailers so very moody trailers this is the first time that we've seen really detailed gameplay okay and it looks absolutely incredible yeah there's there's still a lot of questions because Sony has this habit and this is a PlayStation exclusive game which is why we're showing off for Sony's press conference Sony has this habit of putting out these sort of maybe 10 to 20 minute long gameplay videos with no context and no narration and nothing else so you sort of you get what you can see and this is out there you can watch you can watch the last of us gameplay thing and if if you're not afraid of some traffic video game violence I would recommend it it is quite strong it's brutal it's really brutal but um yeah so that is out there and you can watch it but there are a lot of questions so in in this you are playing as Ellie who is the sort of sidekick character in the first game for young girl him no longer or a young girl no longer a young girl she's more grown-up now she looks like late teens so I'm guessing yeah well this is exactly the thing you sort of you see this and you kind of you got a vague idea like oh okay so she's a playable character probably the protagonist and she's older but you don't know tell me how old yeah but she looks she's not grizzled and old she's not 50 she looks about maybe that doesn't look 50 yeah maybe about 20 yeah late late teens early twenties 20 years so what they showed off it and you'll be able to have kind of to show you this is that they had it's this this nice dance scene thing going on where Elias I like having in the middle of some sort of ball fight post-apocalyptic survivors ball it looks like and I was a bit of a romance between there's an unnamed girl who we isn't the character who we are we know about no she's not character from the first game she looks like a new cat yeah but yeah she has a romance with her and it's all very very sweet and then all of a sudden just cuts to Ellie cutting someone's throat yeah and yeah and it gets more graphic and more unpleasant from there yeah but it looks absolutely incredible I'm it's by naughty dog who's a couple who developers are made Uncharted yep they do a brilliant line in games that just look absolutely staggering are beautifully acted beautifully written and tear your heart apart in motion yes that's what happened with the first last of us it was it was it ticked all the boxes that people wanted for a really engaging really cinematic game so is that is this is last of us to do out this year or is that another announced this year probably available I don't think we have really said that they're gonna be do a quick check well we're having a look we all I told kaswell about Tomb Raider the new tomb raider cuz that is deal yeah at the end of this year that is out really we've seen we've seen more in about that from e3 I don't know that you had you went to like a hands-on gameplay fairly recently I think you and Ellen your co-hosts from yes that extra yeah she's played it I actually ever played you haven't paid it but she has yeah what's the general thoughts of a sentiment around that that ran that at the moment I think the sentiment is pretty positive so the last two Tomb Raider games have been really good they're both part of this these new reboots and this is going to be the sort of third in a trilogy of that of those new games okay and it looks it looks really good it looks a little bit darker fanatically lara dark like the awesome it was dark took a twist yeah I think this one has I think I think we're going to see a little bit more of character development for Lara in this one which is interesting because when they brought it back they brought it back to her first adventures and she has a little bit of a newbie she was a little bit green a little bit unsure of herself just to learn how to kill what you did immediately and then carried on killing unendingly back tacular aptitude or fuse loaves yeah it's amazing is it when you find out what you're good for yeah so she's like she spiked on full for president in yeah I love the last team Raider I played that several times through because I did it first time we first came out then there was the remastered version yeah which I played and then I was just bored so I just played it through again because I really enjoyed it so I'm really looking forward to playing this one because the the gameplay clips I've seen so far do look really good the trailers look gray and if it's as engaging as the last one then yep I'm actually sold and that's how I want to say September I think I think they just said fall 2018 which is autumn yeah it's what you'd call autumn is now in the next next few months that is 14th of September yeah Tereza no release date yet the last no I would say four less of us ok well that's yeah that's I think that's cool because as a big fan Tomb Raider is looking for us playing that but it isn't a reboot but we have seen quite a few reboots yeah because of course Resident Evil 2 hmm was I think one of the big surprises of the show yeah yeah surprise yes that is just that's just Resident Evil 2 yeah but remade yeah it's not it's not like the next chapter of that storyline yeah it is and it isn't just a remake so for example a few months ago we had Dark Souls remastered which which is what many remasters are they take the original game they apply new textures and they make it look graphically beautiful this is something a little bit more involved to remake wise they've started from scratch almost they kind of pulled the game apart because the Resident Evil 2 is such an old game now yeah you know it came out in the in the late 90s I believe and you know it sort of had those like older as an evil tank controls where you kind of like spun your character around on the spot and then make them walk forward so now it's very it's it's a pretty dated game and yeah they I think they've from what I hear my colleagues chain and Andy got to play the city through it sounds like they've really amped up the horror and giving it just a complete visual makeover it's built in the engine as in it uses the game technology from Resident Evil 7 which yeah now last year a brilliant really really brilliant so I'm super excited about this I never actually played Resident Evil 2 so I don't play the first time around of this does look good and yeah you're right in terms of like they're the style it has a very much got darker like literally darker I saw the girl Jane and Andy and they played it yeah and rather than being this for well lit you know police station Louis everything's very dark and you've got to use lights and there's a lot more just seems like a lot more threat there everything about it feels lot more threatening yeah and then previous Resident Evil did modern games had this this like this obsession with with with the fear that comes from having just like a cone of light yes a torch and I have it to explore a room where you can only solve ever see like a which totally works cuz Resident Evil 7 honestly scared the bejeezus house has came out when he did it was all over the place and in VR because I I honestly found when I even when I play just the game normally and I played it on my my gaming laptop and I had to make sure I was playing in a fully lit room yeah and I had Parks and Recreation playing on my TV so okay so when I had just something to take the edge off that anxiety because if I just focused on the game alone I just it just got my blood pressures got higher and higher and out until I just had to go and calm down and in VR that is you I'm you're only in that world I've really found it too challenging I couldn't do it I could not play yeah 38470 MBL i think that's a sensible move I tried in VR and yeah it's very very intense yeah it's also quite hard to play as all VR games tend to be for more than but this did make me think though there wasn't evil to remake because it was last year that I think I mean even he even gave before when we had the Final Fantasy Final Fantasy 7 yeah make announced and yet I haven't heard of anything about that again nothing about that mother III but I think that's gonna be a similar kind of deal it's going to be such a substantial remake yeah they're rebuilding from the ground up everything is new you've a storyline apparently is gonna be vaguely the same roughly the same but all the mechanics all the maps all the worlds all the everything about the game is being redone and some of that in it really intrigues me you know I can really see the whole world coming to life using modern gravity technologies but I don't want them to completely bugger a bow yeah with the battle system that made final 27 great yeah and it's like yeah or the plural of yeah got a good feeling about that area but we haven't okay everything's gonna work out fine for her but we haven't heard anything about that since and so I'm not quite sure still and in fact we could Google and we'll carry on talking while we do but that's coming out and I'll do a little bit more about Resident Evil 2 yes because I think the fact that they have taken such a drastic approach to the remake means that if you didn't play Resident Evil 2 this will feel like this will feel like Resident Evil 8 it will feel like a new an entirely new game so if you didn't play resi 2 then I think this will absolutely be worth checking out and if you did you probably have a lot of fondness for it because the game was very good and you'll get an extra kick out of it there so yeah it was definitely one of the big surprises of the show surprisingly surprisingly fun all I've all I've got mean having googled Final Fantasy 7 remake is for a quote from the director saying development is moving along more than expected right which which which is meaningless so there's no they only they are working on it yeah I mean you would say that wouldn't you yeah if you if you had lost all the hard drives you would yeah oh no it's all going fine yeah jimmying open the window to make good your escape that's a shame cool apparently what I've read here the direction was pretty much decided upon and while preserving the atmosphere of the original the scenario will dig deeper into the characters including members of avalanche I may be which is that the team that joined cloud-like jesse biggs and wedge who tried to take down the the reactor the Mako reactors in the early stages of the game that's interesting but I'm very sad that we haven't had any more of that because if I could have played Final Fantasy 7 again this year rather home to play again on my phone for another yet another time I would have been fine play The Witcher 3 instead of fine I could g7 again or I could talk to you about Forza horizon for because this is a game but I'm very excited to see because I love their force again last Forza I adore Forza well pretend lives are horizon series you love Forza and you love the British countryside yeah no really sings neatly onto you yeah the fact that it's set in the British countryside right this game combines all your love yeah so we're now in it you'll be set and maybe there is hey there maybe you can run bass in a little owl or fly pass your car you can you can you can hassle sheep you can drive through you can you can drive through sheep and you can drive through dry stone walls but not small picket fences I saw in some of the gameplay footage one of those stops you and the other one doesn't and it's a wrong way around but this is the horizon part of Forza which is the big open world drive anywhere you want do different challenges on route rather than the regular Forza which is pick a race track pick a race car go do five laps the more prescriptive this is open-world this is what I love so much about Forza in the same way as I loved it background Theft Auto 5 where you can just take driving somewhere yeah so I'm very excited about this the graphics look amazing as we say it's setting we've seen Edinburgh we've seen the English countryside which in lakes there's seasons and weather so sometimes those lakes will be frozen because of cold sometimes they'll be leaves because of autumn and yeah I think it was really good so I'm so it was super excited by this great quickfire list lets me off some of the new cars that are in it so we've got the McLaren Senna actually MacLaren's brand new super light super powerful race car which was announced last year which I went to see we've got the Makati Chiron of course which I've seen a couple of times and I photographed and in fact before we recorded this podcast me and drew stone from car fection have spent now 15 hours together building the new Lego kit of the Bugatti Chiron and we're still nowhere near done in fact I'm watching on the video version I am Andy is gone to fetch his half-built Lego yeah apologies for the mp3 version now this most part it looks like a not very good truck yes but but you can tell it in the back here's the big engine we air made from scratch for w16 engine yeah and here is where the seats are will be is where the the classic C shape Oh Shawn isn't that fascinating and terrifyingly detail it's insane the amount of effort that's going to this thing give you actual petrol in it it would probably go I hope so it would come to life like Woody from Toy Story and run amok while you slept but so those are definitely two cars that are new to horizon for so I'm really really keen to play that yeah but let's move on to the Nintendo switch which I know is a platformer you're very familiar with am i before I lost mine on a plane big disappointment is the amount of time I put into Zelda and no God saves I know but I lost it right before they didn't they bring cloud saves out isn't that now a thing ah I thought they brought cloud saves with like was a Nintendo online thing uh oh it's coming with the online service but that's not that's not really yes it's not out yet oh okay so yeah I've lost it before they brought that out which is the real shame so a couple of big things we'll start with the fact that fortnight suddenly they announce that for night is coming to the switch and it's out this afternoon yeah so he is now out school so for tonight is the biggest game in the world at the moment more or less it's absolutely huge especially online on Twitch and on YouTube it is it is a massively massively popular live-streaming game yeah the read it's a little bit weird because the game came out and it had this kind of base building survival shooting mechanic and it was sort of interesting and but it just kind of came and went then player unknowns battlegrounds yeah but new pub G came out which has the Battle Royale feature in which many people enter a world and basically fight to the death in this constantly shrinking arena and the popularity of that game meant that a lot of other games have introduced battle royale noises getting a battlefield the new battlefields gonna have one we know call of duty black ops 4 is gonna have one and fortnight quickly added a mode and fortnight because I guess they were quickest off the mark they actually seem to be the ones who are winning the race because they've got this massively massively popular game now so they save they're beating out pub G are they because I've not I don't know the numbers but I I I think so I wouldn't at all be surprised even though the the battle brow concepts definitely you know pub G was the game that made that big yeah on a pub G but I haven't played fortnight in fact I was playing poker because I play it on on mobile I have played a desktop but I've quite it is what I was playing on my iPad of a sofa without the sound on so you can't even hear when people are around you and I got my first ever win I might proper my flour your chicken my chicken dinner and what you actually to that I'm so for that on the switches is cool so I don't know how much it costs but it but it's a download it's not you don't need to buy a cartridge it's good because it's a very popular game of the moment and that's what the Nintendo switch needs it's been getting a lot of good third-party support a lot more than we you intend his last console gods yeah but it needs games that are not the year old or two years old it needs it needs to be while those games are still popular still being played and I think also fortnight and assuming fortnight has the same general play style as pub Jean that you you go on and you play like a 2025 minute round yes yes great for I think the switch where you can let's be honest sit on the toilet fire up again yeah I mean that's the dream late but yeah but while we're talking on the switch then because the other big switch announcements yes Super Smash Brothers ultimate Super Smash Bros Altman this is this is the thing I'm most excited about I think probably I'm here and for those who perhaps aren't aware the Smash Brothers series is a fighting game series where a bunch of different characters from Nintendo's history and a few sort of third-party characters as well like Mega Man or Solid Snake or PAC man's in it now I don't understand the appeal of pac-man as a I know and sonic watch is attack just waka waka yeah basically but yet they have they have a massive punch up and it's a little bit different to fighting games like Street Fighter in that you don't have a health bar the decreases and when he goes down you lose instead every time you get hit you're sort of damage percentage goes up and the higher your damage percentage the further you fly when you get hit and if you get float if you get blasted all the way into off the screen or off off the platform that you're all fighting on then you lose a life or you lose lose them turn yeah so it's got this really it's got this really cool mechanic that has been around for years but only in the Smash Brothers games really no one else is adopted even though I find it so much more fun than then Street Fighter or normal 2d fighting games and I absolutely love it it's really fast it's really dynamic characters can you can triple jump and an air dodging man is absolutely an ultimate has been a long time coming and it's yeah now we know when it's coming out it's coming out for Christmas just earlier December I think cool yeah what we didn't get at e3 was much information on what's new in the game yeah we got one new character and a couple of new still like fighting stages yeah including one of the Zelda breaths the while towers I saw which is super cool and what a stage from splatoon we already knew that the kids those radical inkling kids from splatoon how I love them they're gonna be in it when Ridley who's the big baddie in the Metroid series it's like a horrible dragon who in the extended universe probably a samus's parents that's not nice don't do that Ridley's like the nastiest Nintendo buddy ever yeah rizo Ridley is gonna be a character in it as well massive dragon versus Pac Man yeah doesn't really seem like FF well I mean packed I can barely hold his own against a ghost so yeah I think it's gonna be an absolute slaughter good luck a vote to that is gonna be yeah so what happened what don't we know then about the games Eve well so they've announced that every fighter that's ever been in a Smash Brothers game is going to be in it which is cool because that immediately off the bat gives it gigantic roster doesn't cloud from Final Fantasy 7 was in it wasn't yeah yeah if they're all there everyone and but we do know that by the time the game comes out there'll be loads of new characters as well and though they haven't - no they haven't said what they are I've really got my fingers crossed for Pauline from Mary Odyssey yeah as a mayor of dog city that's right new dogs young city and detective Pikachu I really want which is just a Pikachu with it little Sherlock Holmes hat I don't know I know surprising voice thrice more mouths yeah again very like noir of billions so that is what I'm hoping to see alongside oh I have a very long wish list of characters we don't need to get into now but that's what they didn't talk about the other thing that Nintendo did denied us is a new Metroid because they announced last year 83 that they are making a new game in the Metroid Prime series which were brilliant brilliant first-person Metroid games all of them excellent and they now so they were making a new one but we don't know anything more there was one of those things like we were saying earlier whether it's like we're making it here's a logo and I see you in five years yeah bye yeah so I really thought we might get a little bit more information but absolutely nothing but one Nintendo did say before e3 is that there's a new Pokemon game for the switch you have fledged Pokemon RPG or whatever you know the classic and intact Pokemon title yeah so this is a little bit of a weird one actually because yeah last year they said we are making Pokemon RPG for the switch and then recently they have announced and it was at e3 in it I got to play it the these two new Pokemon games for the switch which is called Pokemon go easy and Pokemon go Pikachu yeah and the question everyone's wondering is is this it is this the thing that was talked about or is there a more ambitious game down the line because it has to be said the Pokemon go Pikachu pokémon go Evie do not look like very ambitious games if it's it on the switch it's on you know it's on it it's not a powerful home console though if you want a new like the first ever big pokemon RPG on a home console you want it to be not top-down you want it to be like breath of the wild but full of Pokemon yeah you know a vast open world you wanted to look beautiful huge storyline the ark sort of plays amazing laughs makes you cry makes you learn things exactly and this although I think it will probably please Pokemon fans does not look like that game it looks like a mobile game looks like an iPhone game it looks fairly basic the other thing that they've introduced which is it's quite a controversial change I didn't really I didn't really realize this until I started playing it but now they've introduced the pokeball throwing thing from Pokemon go yeah the mobile version for when you encounter wild Pokemon yeah which sounds good because that's fun right you like throwing them yeah who doesn't like catching pokémon that way what I didn't realize is that that seems to be replacing or at least it was definitely completely replacing it in what I play - III it seems to be replacing having your own pokemon fight wild ones so when you catch a Pokemon all your Pokemon get a little bit more XP they all level up and get a bit stronger but they never actually sort of come out and get to fight so they still fight when you're like battling other Pokemon trainers but I didn't realize how much I would miss that thing of like trying to get a Pokemon down to I think just not very much health left which was the mechanic by which you have traditionally caught Pokemon in the games you know you get his health down yeah so you could try and put to sleep or get status effect and then you love a pokeball right right between his eyes yeah Wow when it's really mine curd and it's begging for death yeah you trap it inside bomb deny it that release here and make it your Pokemon so not weird not totally excited about I feel like I'm a part of the moment it's a shame it's a shame cuz I'm not really excited about it but and you've also stopped playing Pokemon go I believe whereas I am still playing and do you have the three legendary pokémon yay although I saw there was an update procon go where you can now gift but you can transfer Pokemon to other trainers so I could if I want to give you my spare no ask you know hey will you maybe maybe we'll have to see how the rest of the podcasts go play my cards right yeah we'll just have to see okay um so those are those are the biggest things I want to talk about but that and a couple of other games that the crew 2 is later this month that looks really cool again big open world racer kind of like horizon but yeah it's got this scaled down map of the US that you can sort of drive clear across yeah including all the good food spots yeah my colleague Mike channel who is a huge racing game enthusiast is quite excited about this one he was said he was telling me that the first crew had the the open world map that open world map of the US was really good because you could get across it reasonably quickly but not so quickly that it didn't feel like a significant road trip whenever yeah yeah a car and drove off what I quite liked about the crew too is that you can you can be a plane and you can fly play really high and then you know in the air you can turn into a boat and just smash under the ground yeah yeah yeah if you wanted to yeah or alternatively can you can you be about and then become a plane and think uh are you guys pretty sure you can turn into a plane while you're a boat but I don't think you would sink I can't remember remember what I've done showdown yeah but then the elephant in the room as far as I saw it was the lack of additional information about Red Dead Redemption - yeah well that is because Rockstar who make Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto 5 and basically the biggest most successful name's yeah don't they know it well this this actually is it they really do know it they they don't go to III oh they don't exhibit their they don't have a press conference Rockstar oh the apple of the game yeah yeah yeah in the summer that Apple does not attend MWC or Aoife or yes that is actually a very very strong analogy they are exactly like that they they they they show very little yeah until they're ready and then it's a big splashy announcement you know that it's very sort of closed off yeah not very chilled out but their products are extremely good though they are always that's why they can get away with it yes because Red Dead Redemption that's totally Apple it's ready yep read dead 2 is going to be enormous it's coming out this autumn is going to be it will almost certainly be absolutely fantastic yeah and it's pedigree and everything we've seen I am so excited for it because I actually never played Red Dead Redemption and having taught to you your colleague Andy hmm about it who is a massive Red Dead fan yeah and he just said I have to play absolute have to play it and then I tried to get hold of it and I couldn't I couldn't get it without spending with that it was like 25 quid on on Xbox I just really game and I kind of just fell and I was busy at the time so I never bother playing it and then now Red Dead that excuses it was 25 pounds it was 25 grand and I was busy and I'm still AM I remain busy you remain busy oh and you really if not more busy than I was but Red Dead - he's now coming out so I think I'm just gonna jump in and start with Red Dead tea with no sense because it is the prequel to red dead anyways so I'll be playing it chronologically you will be yet which I think's which I think makes makes perfect sense yeah so that'll be a big deal that'd be a big deal what else is 83 fallout 76 yes no we have a yeah I haven't there no control briefing about that because that was that's probably most controversial game of the show so anyone who's familiar with the Fallout series will know that they are these big sprawling single-player RPGs in an open world where you wander around an irradiated sort of post-nuclear wasteland yeah and live your best life and get cool outfits and walk around modern-day Ipswich yes no I'll go with that um yeah the games are brilliant they're full of like quirky NPCs and really surreal quests there's a lot to love about the Fallout games and fallout 76 takes things in a different direction it's going to be an online survival game that does not have or at least does not have very many we're a little bit unsure that a non-playable characters you will be one of the people one of the chosen few in from vault 76 which is one of the vaults the other sort of opens up when when the dust is settled on the on the nuclear apocalypse and you will wander out you'll build a base you can acquire nuclear codes and you can nuke other people's bases yeah it's a survival game so is it is it more put in is this is this effectively like the Elder Scrolls online was to Skyrim no not really it's a little bit different I was kind of hoping for that to be honest I was kind of hoping for a because there were rumors it was going to be online I was thinking all good maybe it'll be like Elder Scrolls but yeah before our universe but it's not really like that I think it's going to be emptier than than that and I think there's gonna be more of a focus on survival and and yeah I'm building a base whereas Elder Scrolls online is very much just about adventuring there is there's gonna be cooperative stuff and for that yes Elder Scrolls online is just totally Skyrim but yes online I'm not you do this Gemma saw a quest you go to attend certain places and that's why I love it and I still play lots of it so there are a lot of people who understandably are not enamored with Fallout 76 and I totally get that I think there are some reasons to be optimistic chief among them the fact that Bethesda is quite good or online games so I think that this has a very good chance of being objectively a good game that's a corseted Elder Scrolls think it was exactly but that said I do understand that you know people want a particular kind of game from the Fallout series and it is not going to be that not even close I don't think so yeah but this isn't gonna be this isn't the new direction for Fallout is it this if it isn't I know well this isn't this isn't unless it makes it dead of money yes well yeah but this is instead of 495 no but then but but like there's no sign of a 4.5 but we weren't expecting one at this point anyway I wouldn't have thought it was about time some more fallout and this is what you're getting this time yeah yeah but that's does neatly before before we finish this and me we can come back to other scroll secretory just which we touch upon in the intro because see if there's have been busy making this four times six and I believe they have another new franchise launching in maybe a couple of years time yes called staff stylized sour field Sophie all day and let me check that are you almost have started that it's not Starcraft its howdy yes star field I have you go ahead and wait what is it called yeah yes star field we don't know anything about this really it but what we do know is reason to be very very excited we know that it's gonna be in space we know that it's made by Bethesda and we know that it is their new IP which is industry shorthand for intellectual property which is a really unsexy way of saying a new series an entirely new thing and it's our first it's their time saying before like wasn't theirs and and elderscrolls wasn't this well I don't know it gets a little bit complicated as to sort of who originated what but this is going to be this is going to be Bethesda's first new IP in a very very long time yes so it's going to be really really really interesting to see what happens to that and I am hoping that it is going to be a single-player RPG in the mould of Elder Scrolls and fallout yeah but in space in space yeah and you like space do you like space I kind of like it yeah I'm hot and cold on space actually debate yeah the games I think can be some of them can be good games and there's always very much earth my game set on earth yeah I like game set on lush planets how much more of a sort of forests person I'm Samantha that's why I love you I really say and the best place I'm better than the cold bleak wastes of space you don't worry about oxygen and all that nonsense bloody oxygen um face who'd have it and of course the time of their making this new ipsa is delaying yeah the scroll six and all we love is that though we don't know that it's delaying well yeah if they had nothing else to do Elder Scrolls six would be oh thanks yeah let's say but here's the thing they have they have so much to do like they're so busy counting their money from all of the different places that they've found to sell Skyrim it is true that they have those who have a mobile game we have Elder Scrolls blades coming out with a phone they'll be hoping to replicate the success of the fallout mobile game which was I as I understand a real money spinner for them was it yes so we'll get all Elder Scrolls six but I was a little surprised that they announced it to be honest I thought they probably just put Skyrim on a toaster or yeah or something else like that and make all the money again or the graphic novel or something yeah as well just fully finished oh you're making an you do and another new do you know that give them we've only just had new day well I knew just that came out in 2016 honest that was it okay time for new deem yeah and this one might be out this year we don't know it much about it but but doom doom is great is coming yeah okay so the final thing before we go yeah of the games that have been announced and that we know are coming this year and next what are your top 3 I get 3 Wow 3 yeah I wasn't gonna ask you for your top one now do you want them in order so I want your choice sure sure but he could have two extras mmm you know my top one before I went to e3 absolutely would have been Smash Brothers ultimate because I'm very excited about that yeah however I think cyberpunk 2077 has just edged it okay I'm fully aboard the hype train for cyberpunk something so I put number one smash bros number two yeah and then it's tricky do you know what number three I'm gonna give to a game that we haven't actually talked about but was it III and that's death stranding okay I don't know that's running nobody wanna give us a quick one sentence okay I'll try so deaths trending is the new game from Hideo Kojima who is the the brain behind the Metal Gear series yeah famously eccentric games are what he makes very weird and death stranding is the weirdest by some margin is going to star Mads Mikkelsen of Hannibal Fame yeah it's going to star thingy use names dropped out my head from The Walking Dead hang on I'll get there oh they're with me the guy Norman Reedus Norman Reedus who was on the cover of CNET magazine last quarter let's go and pick it up newsstands gonna have normal days you see them um and that is about that's about all I can say about it confidently we got seek the first we got to see the first death stranding gameplay at e3 and I'm none the wiser as to what it's actually about my best guess is there is something to do with there are these ghosts they're all this rain that accelerates time when it touches you and and that's why everyone's carrying around a little baby in a jar and the baby is like a clone of you I think so that if you get got by the time monsters you die but it accelerates the baby to be a grown up to the point where you were when you were killed and that's why everyone has a baby it's like a little insurance policy I think and you're some sort of delivery man and it looks like it's in Iceland I like Iceland yeah that's the first bit of everything all those words you've just used yeah in that order that I've been able to kind of latch on to and go ah yeah got it yeah Iceland I'm not I've not been I've not played much of the Metal Gear series I have to say is a bit of a blind spot for me but seeing the deaths that seemed like the most in-depth death stranding stuff it looks beautiful it's going to be so weird and haunting and of course Kojima hat of course has it in him to make a really really great game so yeah there's this number three good yeah I think actually that's edging out last of us too for me just in terms of stuff that I'm curious well that's weird oh that it is I'm interrogating my own emotions now on them surprised at what I find did Hideo Kojima do pt yes which is absolutely messed up yeah and terrifying so if he's doing a game way yeah that was yeah that was a that was a very short demo that was going to be a demo for a silent hill's game yeah by him it got cancelled I can't download the demo anymore so so it's actually quite rare to find out you have to add so but the people who have it installed on you know from when from when the demo came out yeah they can still play it but no one else can I just looked up that falls horizon for will launch on October 2nd so for me my games to look forward to this year for the horizon for Red Dead - and that says pick I don't know what spyro spyro oh they're remaking spires are they okay let's go Spyro excuse fire I know the crew - well because if the crew choose to summer
