James is away this week, so we’re joined by Daniel Robson from IGN Japan! We cover all the news and announcements from Gamescom, and Daniel played a bunch of new games at Gamescom, too. We also discuss the PS5 price increase, a new Xbox Elite-style PS5 pad called the ‘Edge’, Bungie no longer ‘vaulting’ expansions in Destiny 2, and Amazon not buying EA. Game-wise, we all played last weekend’s Splatoon 3 demo, David’s back on Walkabout Mini-Golf, Mat’s back into Elden Ring, and we finally get Sean’s views on Rollerdrome. Also: collections, festivals, lockdown games and hot lips. Games discussed: High on Life, Sonic Frontiers, Dead Island 2, Rollerdrome, Elden Ring, Splatoon 3,...
