Plus: thoughts on a new handheld hitting the market next year, a potential new feature of the PS5, old myths being proven real by Nintendo’s gigaleak, sex work in Animal Crossing, and plenty of other stories.

After finishing their most anticipated game of the year, Dan and Luis  sit down for over 2 hours to discuss The Last of Us Part II, Naughty  Dog’s divisive sequel to their overwhelmingly loved magnum opus.  Did Ellie’s revenge story live up to the hype? Is this a worthy  successor to our crew’s top game of the decade? Did the Santa Monica  studio manage to stick the landing at the end? Chill back and listen  below for our extended discussion on all things TLOU2, in this very  special (and unique) episode of Ready Press Play.

In our return to regularly scheduled programming, Luis and Dan  discuss more The Last of Us Part II, the prospect of next-gen games  being more expensive, rumors about Microsoft’s cheaper next-gen console,  and the cancellation of EVO Online due to many allegations of  misconduct in the Smash Bros. community and some of its organizers.

This episode was split into two parts. First, Dan and Luis discuss  updated PlayStation 5 news, their thoughts on EA Play’s announcements,  the return of Pokemon Snap and the PC Gaming Show, among a few other  stories and the games they’ve been playing. On the second part, the crew  is joined by David “Fame” Whitaker, a gaming writer and youtuber who  founded LV1 Gaming, the website Luis has written a few articles for.

This week, multiple events were postponed in solidarity with the  Black Lives Matter movement, so Dan and Luis used some of the episode’s  time to share their thoughts, read an editorial from a friend of the  show, and ask for our listeners’ aid in supporting the cause. On more  traditional gaming news, Sony confirms PS5 will have exclusive games,  SEGA announces a new Game Gear and something they call “fog” gaming, and  a lot more. For the topic of the show, the hosts speculate what new  games may be getting announced over the Summer news season.
