With Sony not having an appearance at E3 2021 Ryan and Max decided to tackle the major gaming event a little differently.

They have decided to approach it a little different.

With what Microsoft has to offer at E3, should Sony PlayStation be worried about the future?

In 2020 Ryan lost 30kgs using The Man Shake.

Thanks to Bandai Namco Australia Ryan and Max where able to get a very special hands-off, pandemic era behind closed doors look at the latest from Supermassive Games’ Dark Pictures Anthology, House of Ashes.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of intense, stand-alone cinematic horror games combined with powerful storytelling and unique multiplayer modes.
Each new game is influenced by real world events either fact, fiction or legend and features a completely new story, setting and cast of characters. Each new game in The Dark Pictures Anthology will deliver a new cinematic horror experience playable in single and multiplayer including Shared Story playable with a friend online and Movie Night mode where up to 5 players can play together off-line and pass-the-pad.
At the close of the Iraq War, Special Forces hunting for weapons of mass destruction unearth something far deadlier – a buried Sumerian temple containing a nest of ancient and unearthly creatures. To survive the night below, they must forge a brotherhood with their enemies from the world above.

Key Features
DESCEND IN THE DARK ABYSS Navigate a subterranean labyrinth and escape the unearthly creatures that have found a new prey to hunt
THE ENEMY OF YOUR ENEMY… Will you prioritize your own survival, or will you put aside your fears and personal rivalries to fight together as one?
Don’t play alone Play online with a friend or up to 5 friends offline, share your story and cooperate wisely to save your cast…

Thank to Bandai Namco Australia, Max has been spending time with NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… and he is having a great time!

However NieR Replicant is very much not a Ryan game, but can Max swing him around and advise him as to why he should play it?

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is an updated version of NieR Replicant, previously only released in Japan.
Discover the one-of-a-kind prequel of the critically-acclaimed masterpiece NieR:Automata. Now with a modern upgrade, experience masterfully revived visuals, a fascinating storyline and more! The protagonist is a kind young man living in a remote village. In order to save his sister Yonah, who fell terminally ill to the Black Scrawl, he sets out with Grimoire Weiss, a strange talking tome, to search for the “Sealed verses.”
Experience the NieR Replicant story for the first time in the west through the eyes of the protagonist as a brother.
The original all-star team returns including acclaimed director, YOKO TARO (Drakengard / NieR:Automata), composer Keiichi Okabe (TEKKEN / Drakengard / NieR:Automata), and producer Yosuke Saito (DRAGON QUEST X / NieR:Automata).

Thanks to Capcom Australia, Ryan and Max have been spending time wandering around a giant castle and fighting werewolves in Resident Evil Village.

How does RE VIllage hold up compared to the recent remakes? How does it tie into Resident Evil: Biohazard? Is it a must play PS5 title? Should we all still swoon for Lady Dimitrescu?

The next generation of survival horror rises in the form of Resident Evil Village, the eighth major entry in the Resident Evil series. With ultra-realistic graphics powered by the RE Engine, fight for survival as danger lurks around every corner.

Set a few years after the horrifying events in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. When BSAA captain Chris Redfield attacks their home, Ethan must once again head into hell to get his kidnapped daughter back.

In 2020 Ryan lost 30kgs using The Man Shake.

Jason Schreier is dropping bombs and this time its at PlayStation.

This week he penned an article for Bloomberg where he discusses Sony’s “new obsession with blockbusters is stirring unrest” and their plans to unnecessarily remake Uncharted and The Last of Us, along with Sony Bend being ostensibly disregarded and disrespected.

Join Ryan and Max as they ask what the hell is going on with Sony? Is Jim Ryan to blame? Why is Sony Bend being pushed to the side? Along with their thoughts on why remaking The Last of Us is a HORRIBLE and OUT OF TOUCH decision.

They also touch on MLB The Show coming to Xbox Game Pass, Deathloop is delayed, impressions on Disco Elysium: Final Cut, Outriders, and more.

Since rolling credits on Death Stranding both Ryan and Max have constantly wondered what the future holds for Kojima Productions.
Well, thankfully, Kojima Productions artist Yoji Shinkawa has mentioned that something is coming. What could it be? Death Stranding 2? Silent Hills?

The pair also chat DOOM Eternal DLC, It Takes Two, PSN stores being shut down, and more.

Over the past week Sony released a State of Play to showcase a number of upcoming releases for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
In the associated Blog Post it was clearly communicated what was to be expected in this digital showcase, however there is still a large consensus that it was a “disappointment” because it failed to show they games they said they wouldn’t be showing.
Join Ryan and Max as they discuss why no one appears to be happy with digital showcases and whether peoples expectations are setting themselves up to fail.
They also chat the restructuring of Japan Studio, PS5 finally getting expanded storage, PSVR 2 is coming, and more.

The first big PlayStation exclusive for the year, Housemarque’s Returnal, has been delayed.

With Returnal being Housemarque’s first dive outside of their top down, dual stick, independent pedigree Ryan & Max wonder if this date shift is a bad sign.

They also discuss new info around #PS5 shortages, EA’s new studio, Max’s review for Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy review, & more.

After 8 years Cyberpunk 2077 has finally hit the PlayStation and it is….. rough!

However, we need to admit something. We were wrong about Cyberpunk 2077.
Both Ryan and Max have been on the record saying the game would perform horribly on the PS4 (which is true) however they have also stated that the game’s story, world, and narrative would also be bad. Well. We were wrong.

Join the pair as they spend a good 45 mins on their initial impressions of Cyberpunk 2077. They also discuss the reveals and results of The Game Awards, and more.

Thanks to Ubisoft Australia, Ryan and Max have been spending the last couple days with Immortals: Fenyx Rising.

Immortals Fenyx Rising™ brings grand mythological adventure to life. Play as Fenyx, a new winged demigod, on a quest to save the Greek gods and their home from a dark curse. Take on mythological beasts, master the legendary powers of the gods, and defeat Typhon, the deadliest Titan in Greek mythology, in an epic fight for the ages.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Review - "GAME OF THE YEAR CONTENDER!"
Loading

Ryan is joined by Paul James from Player2.net.au to chat Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.

Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin delivers a side scrolling action platformer with RPG elements and a sprinkle of farming simulation for good measure.
How does this all come together to be, as Paul put it, a game of the year contender? Tune in to find out.

Code provided by Turn Left

Distribution Developed by Edelweiss, the two-man team behind acclaimed indie darling Astebreed, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin combines side-scrolling action with deep crafting and farming simulation. Players take on the role of Sakuna, a spoiled harvest goddess banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans.

Thanks to Ubisoft Australia, Ryan and Max have spent the last couple days with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

How does the title follow AC Origins and Odyssey?
Is Eivor a likeable character?
Is the Viking theme awesome?
Is this a must grab game for Next-Gen?

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin’s Creed series, and a successor to the 2018 game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

The end of the PlayStation 4 is getting closer and closer, however Sony still want to go out with a punch. A Sucker Punch. (Not sorry)

Ghost of Tsushima is the latest from Sucker Punch productions and the last major release for the console. But will it be the swan song Sony want and need?

Join Ryan and Max as they discuss their first impressions of this samurai adventure.

There has been discussions everywhere around the PlayStation 5 and whether it will make it’s release date and how many Aussie Dollarydoos it will cost.

A recent report from Bloomberg has stated that Sony will produce far fewer PS5 units for launch compared to the total it had for the PlayStation 4’s November 2013 release. This is due to the expected high price and not production pipeline, with estimates around the PS3’s US$599. That puts it around $900 Dollarydoos!
This means PS5 will be hard to come by and a big hit to the wallet.

Join Ryan and Max as they discuss this report along with Resident Evil 4 Remake, DualSense, Gamescom going digital, Ghost of Tsushima, GTA VI, and more.

Thanks to Capcom Australia, Ryan and Max have spent time with Resident Evil 3 Remake.

Does the latest release from Capcom continue the awesome run of incredible releases?
How does it compare to last years perfect remake of Resident Evil 2?
Is this a remake you must play?

A series of strange disappearances have been occurring in the American Midwest within a place called Racoon City. A specialist squad of the police force known as S.T.A.R.S. has been investigating the case, and have determined that the pharmaceutical company Umbrella and their biological weapon, the T-Virus, are behind the incidents—though they’ve lost several members in the process. Jill Valentine and the other surviving S.T.A.R.S. members try to make this truth known, but find that the police department itself is under Umbrella’s sway and their reports are rejected out of hand.

However, soon reports of a grisly “cannibal virus” begin to surface, and vicious dogs begin roaming the streets. With the viral plague spreading through the town and to her very doorstep, Jill is determined to survive.
However, unbeknownst to Jill, an extremely powerful pursuer has already been dispatched to eliminate her.

The original game, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released in September 1999, and has gone on to sell over 3.5 million copies as of September 30, 2019.
Just like its predecessor, Resident Evil 2, the game is set in Raccoon City, a city overrun by a whole new kind of biological threat, but this game illustrates the outbreak and conclusion of the incident.
It follows the protagonist Jill Valentine as she fights to escape her pursuer, the Nemesis T-Type, and offers a new kind of survival horror which plays off the fear of being constantly and relentlessly chased.

This game, Resident Evil 3, reimagines this city as it falls into chaos beneath the undead horde, with a level of detail and fidelity that can only now be realized with current technology.

Thanks to Bethesda ANZ, Ryan and Max have spent the better part of the last week RIPPING and TEARING through DOOM Eternal, the latest from id Software.

Well, let’s just say it. DOOM Eternal is rad!

Hear the pair explain why this game is so great and what could do with some improvements.

Developed by id Software, DOOM Eternal™ is the direct sequel to the award-winning and best-selling DOOM (2016). Experience the ultimate combination of speed and power as you rip-and-tear your way across dimensions with the next leap in push-forward, first-person combat. Powered by idTech 7 and set to an all-new pulse-pounding soundtrack composed by Mick Gordon, DOOM Eternal puts you in control of the unstoppable DOOM Slayer as you blow apart new and classic demons with powerful weapons in unbelievable and never-before-seen worlds.
As the DOOM Slayer, you return to find Earth has suffered a demonic invasion. Raze Hell and discover the Slayer’s origins and his enduring mission to rip and tear… until it is done.

With over 40 years combined PlayStation gaming and over 5 years in games coverage, Ryan and Josh felt that they would be perfect to throw their hats in the ring and join the greater PlayStation discussion.

When Kojima left Konami in 2015 there were a number of franchises left in the air.

Metal Gear Solid was one, Silent Hill was another.
The world was baffled with a sneaky playable trailer from the minds of Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, and not just any trailer but a Silent Hill reboot!
However it wasn’t to be… or was it!
Recent rumours have surfaced and they claim that PlayStation and Kojima are again working on a Silent Hill reboot WITH Konami!

In this weeks episode Ryan and Max chat their thoughts on a possible Silent Hill return, MLB The Show 20 impressions, CD Projekt Red’s future plans, the effect of E3 finally cancelled, and more.

The nominations for The 2019 Video Game Awards have been released and to no surprise Death Stranding has come out on top.
With 10 nominations in fact.
Many have argued that there could be a conflict here. With Geoff Keighley being the host and key person behind the Game Awards while appearing in Death Stranding and a known close friend of Hideo Kojima, people are speculating collusion.

The real debate around the Game Awards however is if they are even relevant.

Join Ryan and Max as they share their thoughts on the matter along with PS5, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Dreams, and more.

Look. I know it tired but I want to say it. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the Dark Souls of Star Wars.

With a mimicked combat system, bonfire-esque meditation spots, and difficulty frustrations Respawn Entertainment aren’t even trying to hide the similarities.

Ryan is once again joined by Max to chat about the latest EA published Star Wars title.
Has Respawn been able to deliver another killer title? Has it been all EA’d?

They also discuss PS5, Death Stranding, Outer Worlds DLC, a new Saints Row, and more

Thanks to PlayStation Australia, Ryan has spent around a week with the latest Original PlayStation remake and this time it is MediEvil.

Sir Daniel Fortesque returns thanks to Other Ocean Emeryville in this ground up remake. But how does it play? Is it spot on to the original? Have they taken some creative liberties? Does classic style of game hold up in 2019?
Ryan is joined by VR Max to chat about this 4K Skeleton Knight.

MediEvil releases on October 25th, 2019 EXCLUSIVELY on PlayStation 4

Sword swinging, perilous puzzles and enchanting environments are brought back to life in this full remake of the original PlayStation action adventure. Step into the bones of Sir Daniel Fortesque, an inept – and long dead – knight accidentally resurrected by the evil sorcerer Zarok, 100 years after his embarrassing demise.

With the kingdom of Gallowmere under threat by Zarok’s demon hordes, only the skeletal Sir Dan stands in his way. A second chance for the toothy grinned, undead adventurer is at hand – can you defeat Zarok and grant Sir Dan the honour he lost in the flesh?

With Yukes leaving the development of the WWE 2K games it really put Visual Concepts in a bind.

Having to make a tonne of the game from scratch in an already restricted and compressed annual cycle, the future was not looking bright.

As the release date came closer 2K began to drop promotional footage of the title and it looked…. rough.
Like really rough. Rougher than games from two plus years ago.

In this weeks episode Ryan and Josh have a chat about WWE 2K20 and speculate on where it all went wrong.

Thanks to PlayStation Australia, Ryan has been spending time with the latest PlayStation exclusive Concrete Genie.

The second title from PixelOpus delivers a beautiful, charming, and unique experience that cannot be understated.

Concrete Genie releases October 8th 2019 EXCLUSIVELY on PlayStation 4.

Concrete Genie is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by PixelOpus, a developer part of SIE Worldwide Studios, for the PlayStation 4.
Life is tough for young Ash – isolated and bullied, it’s only in the discovery that he can bring his paintings to life that things become so much… brighter. And with the small fishing town of Denska now polluted and abandoned, only Ash has the power to cleanse the streets and alleyways with beautiful, living artwork.

Josh makes his triumphant return to For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast recording today!

After two weeks away he returns to talk Borderlands 3, the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Beta, and all that important PlayStation news.

It has been 7 years since the last numbered Borderlands sequel, so Ryan has dived in to see whether the wait has been worth it.
Will Borderlands 3 become the NEW leader in Looter-Shooters? or is it just more of the same?

Thanks to 2K Australia for providing us the code for Borderlands 3.
And shoutout to that guy on Reddit for the COD Beta code. What a champ!

It’s The X-Files meets Twin Peaks with a metroidvania and Resident Evil feel.
It’s Control.

The latest release from Remedy has come across Ryan’s PlayStation, thanks to Reboot PR, and he simply had to chat about it with Josh.

Control is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. The game revolves around the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency tasked with containing and studying phenomena which violate the laws of reality. As Jesse Faden, the Bureau’s new Director, players explore the Oldest House – the FBC’s paranormal New York headquarters – and utilize powerful abilities in order to defeat a deadly enemy known only as the Hiss, which has invaded and corrupted reality

Leaks within the video games industry are pretty common practice.
Many journos release hidden things all the time. Like Jason Schrier, he always has a bit of secret info in his hands.

However when Borderlands YouTuber SupMatto continuously drops new leaks, information, and details Take Two got a little more involved.

It has come to light that Take Two had allegedly sent Private Investigators to the YouTuber’s house to try determine how he is getting this information.

Ryan and Josh discuss on the potential ethics, legality, and weirdness of this situation.
Does Take Two have ground to do this?
Is SupMatto in the wrong by pay-walling these details?

Another game has been hit by the proverbial ban-hammer as The Australian Classification Board has refused classification for DayZ.

With the use of an illicit substance for a positive gain in-game the Bohemia Interactive almost-fovever-in-early-access title will simply not be accepted.

Now granted, The Classification Board is well within their rights to do this as per their 2013 created guidelines however are they correct? Should these guidelines be updated or altered?

Ryan and Josh sit down and debate the state of video game classification and whether improvements can be made.

E3 just cannot go without leaks, now can it?
Well, this time it was a little bit more than just Ubisoft’s latest plans for Assassin’s Creed. This time it was the personal details of over 2000 YouTubers, Influencers, and Journalists.

That’s right. The EMAILS, HOME ADDRESSES, and PERSONAL PHONE NUMBERS of some of the biggest people in the gaming business just out there in the open to all who want it. This is HORRIFYING!

Ryan and Josh are joined by Paul James, of Dev Diary and Player2.net.au fame, to discuss whether could be a literal end to E3 and the Entertainment Software Association.

Wolfenstein returns this week with a bit of a twist and has you seeing double.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood changes things up compared to it’s 2017 predecessor Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus by bringing in co-op, an in-game economy, faux-pen worlds, and some Destiny/The Division style gameplay.
But are all these changes any good?

With thanks to Bethesda Australia, Ryan has spent some time with the latest from Machine Games and wants to share his thoughts with you all.

Since it’s launch Anthem has been a laughing stock of the games business.

With allegations of a bland world, poor gameplay, and literally no story Josh was intrigued.
After playing the Beta neither Ryan or Josh were too interested, however with EB Games practically giving away copies Josh took it onto himself to actually give it a go.

In our attempt for minimum level investigative journalism we ask: Is Anthem that bad?

With Days Gone dropping last week, and receiving a Metacritic average of 72, the internet has erupted and declared the game as garbage.

But a 7/10 is good, yeah?

If its a 10 point scale an average game should be a 5, anything below that would certainly be considered bad but anything higher has to be at least better than average.

It seems to be a repeating occurrence that whenever a Soulsbourne game (or Souls-Like) is released the internet debates on whether it should have an “Easy Mode”.

In this weeks episode Josh and Ryan discuss Easy Modes and whether they use them, should they be implemented in Soulsbourne style games like Sekiro, or will you be less of a Gamer for doing so.

They also discuss PSN name changes, their continued love for The Division 2, and much more

Borderlands 3 is real!

Feels weird to finally talk about Borderlands 3. It is almost like this white whale that we would only THINK exists and only had been seen by a handful of people. And it is coming THIS YEAR!

On a lovely Tuesday morning we were all woken to the first ever PlayStation State of Play Showcase, where they would be sharing new and updated announcements for a handful of PlayStation and PSVR titles.

However, it appears that many weren’t happy with what was shown. Many calling it lacklustre, slow, and something that didn;t even need to happen.
But was it really that bad?

Ryan and Josh break down all of the reveals and see where this PlayStation Direct stands.

Sony are ready to break their PlayStation silence!

After months of literally nothing Sony have lined up the PlayStation State of Play Showcase, an online direct style video that will be a new platform to announce upcoming PlayStation 4 and PSVR titles.

After spending time in the Public and Private Beta for The Division 2 Ryan and Josh were simply not sold.
They were both pretty confident that they were unimpressed and wouldn’t be picking up the game…. Well that was until Josh did.

And here we are, admitting that we were wrong.

Josh has been keen as all hell for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. So when the Private Beta was announced he ran out to EB Games and placed that pre-order down!

Ryan on the other hand wasn’t as excited. But he too put down a pre-order too to get on this Private Beta.

After getting as much out of the beta as physically possible, Ryan and Josh head into the FTP studio to share their experiences.
Along with some other PlayStation goodness.

Complete creative freedom is often amazing, and with Dreams it is certainly the case.

However when you give players the full keys to the kingdom it is incredibly likely that rules, and potentially laws, will be broken.

This week a number of Dreams Beta players have broken the Beta NDA to show off their levels, which in this case were the Konami PT and Visceral Games’ Dead Space.

This got us asking if Dreams could open up a storm for copyright infringement? Ryan and Josh discuss using there absolute minimal understanding of copyright law.

"It Blew Away ALL Expectations!" | Resident Evil 2 Remake Review



Loading

Many people place the original Resident Evil 2 as their favourite game of all time. So with Capcom taking the time to not just re-release the acclaimed game, but remake it from the ground up, will it be any good?

Thanks to Capcom and Turn Left Distribution, Ryan and Dylan have been able to spend the better part of the last week with this (spoilers) exceptional title.

Having no connection to the original, Ryan was simply blown away. The RE2 Remake looks stunning, sounds beautiful, and plays brilliantly.
Dylan, although frustrated here and there with his own difficulties with in game, also cant help but sings it’s praises.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is out on the 25/1/19 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Resident Evil 2 is an upcoming survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. It is a remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2. Players control rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape from Raccoon City during a zombie apocalypse. Unlike the original, which uses tank controls and fixed camera angles, the remake features “over-the-shoulder” third-person shooter gameplay similar to Resident Evil 4.

“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened”.

What the actual hell is going on with EA and the Star Wars license? In the space of 6 years EA have only been able to release two console Star Wars games. Both which have been critically and commercially HATED. From releasing a half baked game with bugs and issues and yet still littered with microtransactions.

On top of this EA has cancelled not one but TWO promising Star Wars titles.

EA are DESTROYING Star Wars!

Ryan and Josh try to understand what the hell is going on, how it can be fixed, and who Disney should give the licencing rights to.

It is official! The 2018 Game of the Year is OFFICIALLY God of War!

Ryan and Josh are ecstatic with this result. After what seemed like a potential upset with Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly collecting awards, it was fantastic to see the Game Awards getting it right!

The pair also chat about the Kinda Funny Games Showcase and its corresponding announcements.

It has been an amazing week for games.

For the first time in the entire 24 year run of E3 Sony, and the PlayStation brand, will not be attending.

Ryan and community member Max sit down and ask what this will mean for PlayStation? Especially on the back of them cancelling PSX 2019.

Is this a sign of weakness? Do they not have enough to show? Are we in the slow down period before the generational change?
Does this confirm PS5 to be a 2020 release?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is literally days away and there has been SO MUCH info spiralling around the gaming sphere since it’s announcement two years back.

As mentioned, Josh has decided to take a little bit of a sabbatical. So for the next couple of weeks Ryan will be joined by a series of co-hosts while he recoups and returns to his chair and position as rightful co-host of For the Players: The PopCulturists; PlayStation Podcast!

No Man’s Sky on release was one of the biggest controversies of modern gaming. With many promised features missing from the title, gamers couldn’t help but feel betrayed by Hello Games potential bait ‘n’ switch.

Almost 2 years later, Hello Games are still hard at work righting those wrongs, defiantly sticking by their game and trying to make live up to our vision with the Next update.

Is it enough to bring some goodwill back to the game and Hello Games themselves?

Ryan and Josh talk about their latest experience with No Mans Sky Next.

Early previews, press copies and embargoes have been around since the dawn of gaming. They are a great way to inform consumers about a title they’re interested in, before they drop their money on a purchase. However, the last few years have seen some companies tightening their embargoes and not providing press copies until much closer to the games release date. Does this show a publishers lack of confidence in their game, or the exact opposite. Could be there more sinister reasons? Ryan and Josh talk about that.

They also dive into this week’s gaming news and what games are hitting shelves and digital storefronts this week.

God of War is already being hailed as a modern masterpiece!
With perfect scores almost across the board and sitting at a comfortable 95 on Metacritic, things are looking good for Santa Monica’s latest title. But do the numbers mean anything, or should people be a bit more tentative and wait to form their own opinions?

With God of War receiving such a dramatic change in presentation from it predecessors, some fans are worried that the game just won’t feel like God of War. Did the series need such a huge dose of modernization, or would a game made the same way as previous entries been just as successful? Ryan and Josh discuss.

On top of that, Ryan gives his thoughts on his time with Ark Park.

After a long wait and much hype, Far Cry 5 is finally in our hands. Ubisofts latest iteration of the series brings us to Hope County, with religious fanatics led by Joseph Seed and Co. doing all sorts of (funnily enough) not so nice things. Has Ubisoft been able to change the Far Cry formula enough to make it feel new? Or does it fall in to the same old gameplay loop we’ve become accustomed to? Ryan and Josh give you their first impressions.

Ryan also talks MLB The Show 18, while Josh gives some thoughts on Pillars Of Eternity.
