The Big Topics: Sony, Xbox and Nintendo E3 2018 predictions.

Further Discussion: EA, Bethesda, Square Enix, Capcom and more.

*We appreciate we’re posting this ‘predictions’ podcast during E3. This podcast originally appeared on gamesradar.com but we experienced problems with our FTP server so we’re making it live on this blog and iTunes now. Thanks for your patience.

The GamesRadar podcast – variously known as TalkRadar, RadioRadar and the GR UK podcast over the last few millennia – is back for E3 2018, the world’s biggest games show, with an all-new cast. Join host Dan Dawkins (GTAVoclock, PSM3) and guests Leon Hurley (GR+), Sam Loveridge (GR+, Digital Spy), Dave Houghton (GR+) and Rachel Weber (Glixel, gamesindustry.biz, GR+) for around 60 minutes of debate, predictions and insight about what we can expect from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft next week in Los Angeles. We’ll also talk about Bethesda, EA, Activision and more, which is worth sticking around alone for to hear Dave lose the run of himself describing Destiny 2’s second year changes.

What we’re into: Games you should play to bring joy into your life

Well, this is it – we’ve come to the end of the road. Thank you for joining us on our wild and stupid ride, thank you for your emails, tweets, and feedback, and thank you all so much for listening to RadioRadar+. The podcast might be going on hiatus, but we’re here for one last hurrah, talking about the NES Classic, the cool games we’re all playing right now, and yelling about Suicide Squad one last time.

The Big Topic: The Xbox Scorpio’s official specs unveiling

Further Discussion: Horizon: Zero Dawn’s wonderful open world

What we’re into: Makoto Shinkai’s latest animated masterpiece, Your Name. (yes, the period is part of the title)

Microsoft officially released the technical specs for its upcoming console update, Xbox Scorpio, which is great – but are the teraflops enough to get us to come back into the Xbox fold after enjoying the bounty of PlayStation exclusives? We also dive back into Horizon: Zero Dawn after months of Zelda and Persona talk, spending some time reflecting on Guerilla’s beautiful sci-fi world. We close out with some chat about Your Name., a lovely animated film finally making its way to the West after enjoying massive success in its home country of Japan.

The Big Topic: Destiny 2’s big reveal

What we’re into: Snake Pass, Elder Scrolls Legends, and TypeShift are all wonderful

Destiny 2 is coming (surprising basically no-one) and will arrive on PS4, Xbox One, and PC this September. And you know what? We’re into it. We gather round to share our thoughts on the reveal trailer’s colorful, humorous tone and its box art’s bland, monochromatic cover. We also discuss a few games we’ve been playing over the last week or so, including serpentine platformer Snake Pass and Bethesda’s free-to-play card game Elder Scrolls Legends.

The Big Topic: Persona 5’s long development yielded proper results.

Further discussion: Living through your Switch bricking and other dead console experiences.

Persona 5. It is here. A full four years after its original proposed release date, two months after the GamesRadar crew finally started playing it, and just in time for the game’s release comes a podcast where we talk about the brilliant Atlus RPG’s story, style, and perfectly executed battle system. Fear not: WE ARE SPOILER FREE!

One spoiler, though: Anthony’s Nintendo Switch bricked for no reason. We talk through what happens when a Nintendo system goes down and look back on dealing with other catastrophic console failures.
