Sean is in Europe covering Gamescom this week, which leaves Paul and Jon to discuss a whole bunch of old games! Jon has been playing through the Ys games, especially Ys: The Oath in Felghana while Paul has been relearning how to play games on a leverless arcade pad (a hitbox controller). He's also been checking out the new DBZ moba Dragon Ball Project Multi and a small indie game called Blacksmith Who Kong or something.

In news, we rundown everything shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live, Ubisoft lays off the Division Heartland studio, China has a lot of concurrent players, FFXVI comes out on PC soon and Wilmot's Warehouse gets a sequel.
