Podcast: not-E3 best bits from the PC Gaming Show and Guerrilla Collective streamssad trombone
sad trombone
This week we’re being vaguely topical! Imagine that. Today, because we’ve come through what we might call phase one of the not-E3 livestreams (with phase 2 starting this weekend withthe EA streamand theSteam Game Festival) we decided to behave like proper games journalists. We pick out some favourites and standouts from the Guerrilla Collective streams and the PC Gaming show - links to the complete roundups of every trailer and announcement can be found at the bottom of the post.

We actually manage to talk quite sensibly about a lot of things! Nate is excited forDwarfheim,Weird WestandBaldur’s GateIII, Matthew mentionsPersona 4 Goldenand the Mafia remaster, and I talk aboutAmong Trees, No Place For Bravery and, obviously, get a Bloodlines 2 mention in.
This does not mean that the podcast is without tangents. For some reason this week Nate decided to be Gimli, son of Gloin, which meant we derailed before we left the station and started with a discussion about the Lord Of The Rings films and the prosthetics used on The Hobbit. Also, because the live sound board was such a hit with the lads last time, I loaded up a bunch of farm animal noises and sound effects. Don’t hit your head on the sad trombone on the way out.
There isn’t a Big Question this week because I forgot to Tweet it out, but you can email us with questions, suggestions and (nice) feedback at podcast@rockpapershotgun.com
