Since we got so many non-E3 related questions on the last episode, we decided to have a special edition of Throwdown Your Questions to cover all of these left-overs.

Here are all of the questions we answer on this episode:

*If the TV show aspect of Quantum Break sucks, should that affect the game's score/perception?

*Should games be reviewed as a 'whole package' or separately?

*Who are the best/worst fathers/father figures characters in video games?

*Do you think by the end of this generation that Warner Bros will solidify itself as one of the top five third party publishers?

*Have you ever given companies more money than you ever wanted to for something that is a rip off?

*Would fighting games make it if they applied the "toys to life" model?

*Do you think Uncharted 4 was delayed because it needed more time or do you think it was delayed to make room for the Uncharted Collection?

*Do you think more people will give indie games the respect that they deserve now or do you think they will continue to say indies don't count?

*Is it a mistake to hold everything you have to release during the holidays?

*If certain games aren't 1080P/60FPS, what do you foresee occurring on these message boards?

*If the MCC released without all the multi-player modes, similar to what the UCC is doing, do you think the game would've sold better?

*Is 60 frames so important that features like local co-op and MP splitscreen should be dropped for it?

*With the crammed holiday, any predictions on which titles will be getting delayed over until next year?

*When fans say Microsoft will win holiday 2015, what do they mean: console sales, or total amount of game sales from first and third parties?

*Did anyone on the Throwdown get a chance to play "Hatred"? What are your thoughts?

*Whose exclusives will sell more this holiday season: Sony or Microsoft's?

*Hideo Kojima is offered these four jobs exclusively and you can only choose one: Sony (Metal Gear), Microsoft (Zone of the Enders), Nintendo (Silent Hill), PC (Policenauts)

*Why are remasters so successful?

*Does it feel dirty that Sony has turned backwards their compatibility failure into a business model now? Was this planned?

*Will the RTS genre ever make its way (successfully) to consoles or will PC forever reign supreme?

*Was Nintendo smart in shunning "Hardcore gamers" and focusing on their core audience?

*Do people realize the Kinect vs Playstation Eye argument is damn near the most useless discussion in discussion world?

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, and Chris Sealy.

Tonight’s episode is dedicated entirely to E3 2015. The big show is over so we break down our thoughts on what we saw and what we experienced first-hand.

Here are all of the questions we answer this week:

*If people “didn’t pay $400/$500 to play old games,” then why are they so happy about backwards compatibility on the Xbox One?

*Did you guys ever think The Last Guardian, Shenmue III, and Final Fantasy VII Remake would see the light of day?

*What do you guys think the best new IP was?

*Do you think Nintendo just basically gave up on the Wii U?

*What do you think of the #XboxOrWeRiot movement which was created in response of PS4 getting Call of Duty DLC first?

*Horizon: Zero Dawn has a female main protagonist who looks strong and she’s fully clothed and not showing any T&A. Do you think the feminists will be satisfied?

*Do you think Microsoft will allow Gears of War to be backwards compatible or will they purposely not allow that in order to sell the remaster?

*Tony, if you played or saw these games on the show floor, what are your thoughts: Just Cause 3, Hitman, For Honor, No Man’s Sky, Dark Souls 3.

*Did you use any of the VR headsets? Thoughts? Opinions?

*Why are so many bots pissed at Sony for launching a Shenmue Kickstarter?

*FFVII Remake: what changes (if any) do you want and what things do you not want them to touch?

*What was the game of the show?

*Who is hyped for Fallout 4?

*Who else is happy that Guerrilla games now doesn’t have to work on that mediocre series called Killzone?

*Does anyone see the parallels between the Nintendo and Stannis story lines?

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Brian Munjoma, Brett Murdock, Chris Sealy, and Michael Crawford.
