Scott, Stewart and Verity sit down to look at their personal highlights and predictions for the upcoming Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) this year.

The team deep dives into whether there will be a Bloodborne 2, what happened to Brendan Fraser’s career path, is Pokemon Yellow really the best Pokemon, what could go wrong in a Final Fantasy 7 remake, what device will Skyrim be released on and just what the hell is going on in Death Stranding. We also discover that Scott really hasn’t played very much Red Dead Redemption.

  • Shadows Die Twice
  • Nintendo’s Plans – Pokemon & Ports!
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
  • Final Fantasy 7 Remake
  • No Hardware News (is good news)
  • Fallout 76: MMO or Battle Royale
  • Anthem & EA Lootboxes
  • Death Stranding – What the hell is it?
  • Playstation Roundup

Scott, Kieran and Cameron got together to react to the first full day of E3, a jam-packed affair with conferences from Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Bethesda and Square Enix.

EA:

  • Cameron wishes for a return to Bad Company-style single-player campaigns in the Battlefield series
  • Unravel Two and Sea of Solitude are welcome indie interludes between all the SPOOOORTS
  • Could Respawn’s new Star Wars game be a modern answer to the glory days of Dark Forces/Jedi Knight?
  • We all have mixed feelings on Anthem: it might be too soon, it’s too Destiny, and there’s not enough romance.

Microsoft:

  • We completely forget which numbered Halo entry the new title, Infinite, would even be!
  • Stewart gets his predicted wish with FROM Software’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a new Souls-like (probably)
  • Scott is excited about: DLC for Cuphead; Tunic, the Zelda-esque game starring an adorable fox; and Battletoads, mainly because of its brazen trailer
  • Cyberpunk 2077, the new title from Witcher developers CD Projekt Red, has everyone elated

Bethesda:

  • RAGE 2 is a welcome sequel, especially for Kieran, who liked the original more than most!
  • Scott is greatly anticipating DOOM Eternal after the stellar 2016 game, hoping it will be a DOOM 2… 2.
  • A bevy of Elder Scrolls announcements are spotlit by an Elder Scrolls VI tease. Could it take place in High Rock?
  • New IP Starfield is announced. Insert your ‘Skyrim in space’ jokes here.
  • Our first full look at Fallout 76 elicits discussions on whether we want an online Fallout game, and we all go back on forth on the issue!

Square Enix:

  • Platinum’s new medieval fantasy action title, Babylon Fall, is announced for PlayStation 4 and PC
  • Scott is still looking forward to the chunky, HD pixel art of Octopath Traveler… and it’s out in almost exactly one month!
  • The gang rush through a quick round-up of the rest, just in time to sign-off and watch Ubisoft! Phew!

Ready Up Podcast bonus episode – E3 – The good, the bad, the WTF

Susan and Verity sit down to talk through the good, the bad and the WTF of E3. They cover a lot of games but here are some highlights:

  • To open, the pair discusses the pandas present in the Just Dance 2019 presentation.
  • Susan’s nostalgia is in full force for Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! We also have a full appreciation for correctly-scaled Pokémon.
  • Nintendo spent an awfully long time talking about the new Smash and disappointing the internet by not featuring Waluigi as a playable character.
  • Verity is struggling to resist the call of the ocean (and the loot!) with Skull & Bones

  • Ghost of Tsushima looks like a story in a lesser-known era that is definitely worth exploring.
  • Susan and Verity talk about The Last of Us: Part II and the tonal shifts of the gameplay trailer. Looks like more terrifying and violent stealth action is in store, but there are a lot of mysteries still to be revealed.
  • Neo Cab catches interest, even with very little detail released.

  • Two Point Hospital is Theme Hospital reborn. Susan and Verity have a keen interest in the causes and treatment of saucepans on heads, and ghostly appearances.
  • Will someone explain what the hell KIDS is?
  • While we’re at it, WHAT IS GOING ON IN DEATH STRANDING? WON’T SOMEONE TELL US?
