Reminder - I'm doing two hosting shifts at Summer Games Done Quick 2021 from July 4-11! Lots of games came out this week, and I give my thoughts on three of them - Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade Episode INTERmission, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart (super early), and Game Builder Garage. E3 only approved 100 content creators to costream their event out of over 1000 applicants - and warned those who were not selected to NOT create content that includes E3 broadcasts. Luckily, not everything was run by E3, so we talk about the Summer Games Fest Kickoff, the Xbox Showcase, and the Square Enix Showcase.

It's not just E3 week, but more digital events this year round out a very full week of game announcements. Our hosts and live audience react to the digital events of the week and much more!

Summer Games Done Quick 2021 hosting assignments have come out, and I've got an (extremely) early morning block but I also will be hosting THE EVENT FINALE. Sierra On-Line cofounders Ken and Roberta Williams are returning to gaming...kind of, and probably not for long. Sony has announced that Horizon Forbidden West is not a PS5 exclusive, but will also be on PS4, albeit with some graphical downgrades. Also announced is that Gran Turismo 7 and the next God of War will ALSO release on the PS4. There was a report that a bug video montage was made at CD Projekt Red at the end of Cyberpunk 2077's development. It's really not a big deal, because everyone does it. Then we talk to OLR about Arcade1up leaks coming true and the No Man's Sky Prism update.
