Press YYZ

It's time for some sports ball! This week, the YYZ crew debate the best non-traditional sports games - and let's just say things get weird. We also discuss new release dates for some major  first-party PlayStation games, the reveal of Assassins Creed Valhalla,  and whatever the heck that Google Stadia Connect was in this week's  episode of Press YYZ.

There once was an RPG studio from Canada that wanted to make a trilogy of games - a trilogy where players would travel to the farthest reaches of the galaxy to help alien civilizations in need, and determine the fate of the universe. It's this want that gave birth to Mass Effect, a role-playing phenomenon that was briefly on top of the world as one of the industry's most renowned franchises. But now it needs help remembering its identity - and that's exactly what the Press YYZ crew are here to do. We also talk more about Animal Crossing and how it's a smash hit for Nintendo, Call of Duty Warzone cheaters being matched together, and much, much more on this jam-packed episode of Press YYZ.

We all have major gaming regrets, and this week we dive right into them.  We also talk about what we've been up to this week (*cough* Final  Fantasy VII Remake *cough*), some turnip talk, the continuation of the Cooking Mama drama, and more!

With the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake this week, the crew decided to collaborate on a list of the most important RPGs of all time. An Animal Crossing update, next-gen discussion (including the DualSense), and general shenanigans round out this episode!

The world continues to grind to a halt as we continue to self-isolate.  Fortunately, this has given us all plenty of time to play more video  games. With the release of Resident Evil 3 Remake, Call Of Duty Modern  Warfare 2 Campaign Remaster, and Final Fantasy VII Remake being right  around the corner, the hosts of Press YYZ decided to bring back 5x5 and  rank their most wanted remakes and remasters.

We're still isolated, and there really isn't any news, so what do we talk about? Everything we've been playing and streaming of course! The meat of the show is a deep dive into our time with DOOM Eternal and Animal Crossing. Join us, won't you?

Last week, Sony held a Livestream in which Mark Cerny - the lead system architect of the Playstation 5 - went into great detail into the upcoming console's inner workings. Coupled that with all of the Xbox Series X news that Microsoft has been teasing the last little while, the podcast crew decided during their social distancing that they would sit down and talk about both next-gen consoles in a new segment called Round Table. 

E3 2020 is canceled. Now what? The gang is all here, and we discuss the ramifications of E3's cancellation in depth. In a game of Player's Choice, the podcast crew builds a list of the definitive E3 moments from previous conferences.

It's time to be the very best! In honour of Pokémon Day, our pokémaniacs play 5x5 to determine the best Pokémon. We also cover our thoughts on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo, the latest impact of COVID-19 on the gaming industry, and Kozi gives us his first impressions of Bloodroots. 

On the latest episode of this up-and-coming podcast, we decided to try something new! A new main segment - Player's Choice - is introduced, where we make a list of our must-have next-gen features. We also discuss the latest next-gen news, updates from Yacht Club Games, and get up to our usual shenanigans. Join us, won't you?
