We’re Going To A Post Malone Pokémon Concert

Post Malone is hosting a virtual Pokémon concert, and the Pokémon Trading Cards is taking off worldwide. Even McDonalds is giving out unique boosters in Happy Meals at the moment. But, of course, people are ruining that… Still! We have that Post Malone concert to look forward to in a couple of weeks. Also on the show this week We discuss the weird revival of Six Days in Fallujah, the hope the ESA has to bring E3 back and Geoff Keighley returning with Summer Game Fest in 2021. Dylan has also played some of Bowser’s Fury inside Super Mario 3D World and finished up the DLC of Resident Evil 7.

Should You Play The Mass Effect: Legendary Collection?

Bioware and EA have revealed the official release date for the Mass Effect: Legendary Collection alongside footage of the games and comparison screenshots. Is it all as enticing as we’d hoped? Will Dylan and Ciaran be jumping back into the Normandy? And will Ashley be checking out the franchise for the first time in a couple of months? Ciaran discusses the news that Overwatch 2 won’t even get a release date this year. Dylan is hoping Bayonetta 3 might still be a game that’s happening. We know the height of the vampire lady from Resident Evil Village, and speaking of RE — Dylan discusses his time with Resident Evil 7 after playing it for the first time over the week.

Should They Remake Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic?

Rumours continue about the possibility of a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake — but should LucasFilm do it? It’s a beloved fan favourite, but would it work as well in the new canon, and would a remake possibly punish the recently released High Republic material? This week Dylan also discusses his review for The Medium, Ciaran laughs about recent Borderlands casting news and Ashley argues about Game Pass value (shocker). The three also try and make sense of the recent Tomb Raider timelines and what the recently announced anime series could look like. Starting off the show Dylan also sheds light on the recent allegations on the developer of the upcoming ‘Season.’ Reviews/Previews:The MediumHosts:Dylan Blight: https://twitter.com/vivaladilAshley Hobley: https://twitter.com/ashleyhobleyCiaran Marchant: https://twitter.com/YaboyRingoEpisode TimecodesINTRO00:00:00 - Hello00:03:04 - This Week On The ShowREVIEWS/PREVIEWS00:03:27 - The Medium ReviewTHE NEWS00:15:55 - Season Developer Accused Of Toxic Workplace & Harassment00:25:44 - Tomb Raider Looking To Connect Franchises History00:36:23 - Xbox Game Pass Has 18 Million Subs00:39:06 - MTG Diablo-Like Open Beta In March00:44:00 - 007 Game Will Have A Brand New James Bond00:47:24 - Bleeding Edge Development Is Over00:56:53 - Borderlands Movie Casting01:01:08 - Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Apparently On The WayOUTRO01:11:21 - GoodbyeResourcesIGNA Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic Game Is Reportedly In Development Without EA And BiowareSeason Developer Indefinitely Suspends Co-Found, CEO Temporarily Steps Down After Toxic Workplace, Harassment AllegationsKotakuHitman Studio’s Project 007 Will Feature A New James BondXbox Game Pass Now Has 18 Million SubscribersPC GamerNinja Theory’s 4v4 Hero Brawler Bleeding Edge Will Get No Further Content UpdatesPolygonBorderlands Movie Outdoes Itself, Casts Kevin Hart As RolandLara Croft’s Two Timelines Will Be Unified, Says Tomb Raider StudioMagic: The Gathering’s Take On Diablo Will Be Playable In MarchArcade Couch Credits:Music by: Dylan BlightArt by: Cherie Henriques All Episodes:https://explosionnetwork.com/arcade-couch/Support Us:http://www.ko-fi.com/explosion

Dragon Age & Mass Effects Future Looks Shaky

A mammoth amount of reviews to discuss this week. Dylan breaks down his reviews for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, The Pathless, Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition and discusses with Ash their time playing Worms Rumble. Our main discussion this week is about the recent departures of big people from Bioware, and what this could mean for the future of the studio. We want nothing but great things to come from the upcoming Mass Effect and Dragon Age games after all! If you stick around until the end of the show you’ll get to hear Dylan talk about playing Fortnite with Ash and how they both suck at the building.
