The two-man of team of Ciaran and Dylan somehow bring you a groggy half-asleep e of Platinum Explosion this week, post Extra Life.

This week, Ciaran has somehow found the time to play some Call of Duty: WWII and is loving the franchises return to historical battles. And Dylan wants to talk handheld histories and what the Vita could do to win back his love from the Switch.

Live from rural Australia -- it's Platinum Explosion!

Dylan and Ash are trapped at Ciaran's home in Shepparton, but they were allowed to watch the PlayStation media conference from Paris Games Week -- so let's talk about it.

On this week's Platinum Explosion, Ashley is left in the host's chair and is joined by Jono and Jack to preview one of the biggest weeks in gaming this year. Jono gives his thoughts on South Park: The Fractured But Whole before Jack tries to explain how he feels about The Evil Within 2. The guys also talk about the disappointing news around the Visceral Games closure and try to make sense of EA's decision.

This week's Platinum Explosion was pushed to a later time so that Dylan, Tom and Ashley could cover all things Tokyo Game Show.

Anime, bad translations, mechs and more mechs with lots of Monster Hunter (will not be) discussed this week. Also, check out our Youtube for the mentioned reacts videos to some of the key moments from the PlayStation conference.

A two-man show for the episode all about the number two!

Dylan and Ciaran talk about the two biggest games of the week, Destiny 2 and Knack 2! Ciaran has played a hell of a lot of Destiny 2 and has a myriad of reasons why Destiny players who fell off the wagon should jump back on. Dylan discusses the legality and moral confusion of Aussies and Kiwis grabbing Knack 2 for free when it was priced incorrectly on the PSN -- also, it's apparently a good game?

Destiny 2 spoilers: 33:07-33.54 (there is a warning)

MediEvil revival?! Maybe not, but this week Dylan asks Ciaran and Ash what franchises they'd like to see make a comeback.

Plus, Life is Strange: Before the Storm -- does it suffer from the prequel sickness? Ciaran has the review of the first episode of the prequel series.
