It's time for the final podcast on this year's E3 show. This week we talk about what we liked (and didn't), and talk in-depth about Nintendo, which we were particularly impressed with this year. Also this week we talk about Final Fantasy XIV, which has a new expansion just out, and we're enjoying that a great deal. Thanks as always for listening in, and you can follow us on our social medias here: Matt S: @digitallydownld Ginny W: @ginnywoes Matt C: @MC_Odd Trent P: @trinest And if you liked any of the music on the podcast this week, here's the tracklist: Ray: Hatsune Miku and Bump of ChickenGood King Moggle Mog: Final Fantasy XIVA Light In The Storm: Final Fantasy XIVStormblood Theme: Final Fantasy XIV

The last major show of E3 has come and gone (remembering that Nintendo's is technically a Web show and not a live experience), and... well, Sony was underwhelming, to say the least. The company came out with the intention to show off all its blockbuster development. That much was clear. But the lack of indie and Japanese games on display through the show was disappointing, given what we had enjoyed in previous years. A lot of that stuff was displayed in the event pre-show, for whatever reason. There were some highlights - Spider-man, Shadow of the Colossus Remake and Detroit among those, but sadly it looks like TGS will be the event to get us really excited about Sony this year. And it ended so abruptly, too. The PlayStation 4 has so much stuff coming out on it that it was surprising that Sony was done and dusted within an hour. The entire DDNet team was caught waiting for the show to continue. This is our last live response podcast, but next week we'll be back to the normal podcast formula, where we'll talk about E3 in general and Nintendo. Thanks for listening, and we hope you've enjoyed these little podcasts this week!

Love 'em or hate 'em, Ubisoft is one of the most important publishers in the industry, and the company brought its A game to E3 2017. Big new game reveals included a new space toys to life title, Starlink, a new pirate ship combat game, Skull & Bones, and the much anticipated crossover between Mario and Ubisoft's Rabbids... which turned out to be a tactics RPG like XCOM. This was a really good show, to be honest, and in this podcast the team talk about what impressed them the most. One big show left, with Sony! As soon as the Sony conference is over, be sure to drop in and chat with us about the game at https://www.twitch.tv/thetrufflesking

Microsoft has now held its E3 conference for 2017, and as expected, we got all the details about the company's new hardware revision, Microsoft Xbox One X. In addition, we got details about all the games Microsoft has coming, from the big blockbusters (Assassin's Creed! A new Metro!) though to the indie arthouse stuff (Ori! Ashen!). There was also the nice surprise announcement that Microsoft was taking backwards compatibility to the next level, and the Xbox One is now backwards compatible with original Xbox titles. Discs and all. But the really big question is... was the show enough to convince us to buy an Xbox, and has Microsoft found a way to be competitive with the depth and breadth of gameplay experiences that Sony offers. Listen on for our thoughts on the matter! Tomorrow we'll be live podcasting immediately after both Ubisoft and Sony's shows. Watch the broadcasts live here, immediately after each show wraps up, and what with us there: https://www.twitch.tv/thetrufflesking

It's E3 time! The annual event is always something that we look forward to at DigitallyDownloaded.net, as it tells us in no uncertain terms the games that we'll be playing in the years ahead. This year, we're running special DDNet live podcasts immediately after the EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft and Sony conferences (and we'll have a special podcast all on Nintendo next week). We'll share our thoughts on each of the show; what was revealed, what we liked the look of, and what we weren't so keen on. If anyone has questions or comments they'd like to share through the show, you are most welcome to! Watch the broadcasts live here, immediately after each show wraps up, and what with us there: https://www.twitch.tv/thetrufflesking In the meantime, here's our response to the EA show. We... weren't overly impressed, but we're quite sure that the Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Sony shows will be much more interesting.

Tekken 7 has landed, finally! What a great game it has proven to be. This week on the podcast, the DDNet team talks all about the new addiction that we have to the big new fighting game. Because there have been so many fighting games released recently, we also take a broader look at the genre; what is it about fighting games that we like so much, and which are our favourites? Finally, we also take a look at where VR is at. Some are dismissing it as wasted potential, but you only need to look at Farpoint and Star Trek: Bridge Clue to realise that VR is just now really getting going. Thanks for listening in!
