Episode Details

Marsh, Tom S and Chris look back over the week of E3 announcements, from Giancarlo Esposito’s opinion of dictators, to the reveal of Peter Quiff in Guardians Of The Galaxy, to the onslaught of Left 4 Deadlikes. Also discussed: several dozen other E3 reveals, plus Tom’s new computer ennui, and Chris’s fondness for Chivalry 2.

• Giancarlo Esposito was interviewed by Geoff Keighley during this year’s E3, with chat about, uh, dictators and astrology.
• Weezer also played during the show, but maybe they shouldn’t have.
• Then the founders of Deviation Games arrived to announce what good friends they were. Their company website is quite something.
• Fall Guys is getting a bean with a boob window, but maybe it shouldn’t have.
• The gang blast through some Summer Game Fest announcements, so let’s do the same: Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is coming, as if the original wasn’t self-indulgent enough; an Evil Dead game exists; there’s a spate of Left4likes coming, including The Anacrusis, Back 4 Blood and Redfall; Planet Of Lana was a Limbolike among many; and Geoff got to gift Elden Ring to the stream chat.
• Bethesda showed more of Starfield than a logo, but no actual game.
• Stalker 2: Heart Of Chernobyl is entering into the crowded Stalker genre.
• Contraband is a an open world co-op game from the makers of Just Cause.
• Sea Of Thieves is getting a Pirates Of The Caribbean tie-in ten years too late.
• Battlefield 2042 is a big war and we like it.
• 12 Minutes is a time loop game about Willem Dafoe telling you off. Marsh compares it to Masq; Tom S confuses it with Facade.
• Psychonauts 2 yep, yes.
• Somerville is a new Limbolike coming from the co-founder of Limbo creator Playdead.
• Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is free and that is good.
• The rat game is back in A Plague Tale: Requiem.
