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?
