Ign Uk Podcast

We have another guest this week as moustachioed Californian Zach Ryan joins Joe and Cardy to talk all about how they've been keeping themselves busy during lockdown. There's Animal Crossing news to address, more Final Fantasy 7 Remake impressions, and an inordinate amount of basketball chat. All of that, plus a tease of an exciting upcoming collaboration happening next week, if you happen to be a fan of whenever we talk about football. We also reveal the winners of our Murder by Numbers giveaway and get to your all important pieces of food mashup feedback.

This week a wise spectre from our past returns to tell us all about their time with Call of Duty: Warzone and Korean cooking. Joining them is Matt who's been playing some Valorant, Cardy who's been playing with Echo, Overwatch's latest hero, and Joe who's also been trying to destroy a monster in a mountain via the medium of pinball action. We also go through our pitches for what we'd like GTA 6 to be and talk excessively about food. There's another tightly contested Endless Search and a big bunch of feedback to boot.

Both Dale and Matt have finished Final Fantasy 7 Remake, so who better to tell you all about it? Joe has been knee-deep in Cooking Mama conspiracy theories which he needs to offload, and Cardy has been playing more Persona 5 Royal and watching football stuff. Some things never change. There's also a selection of differing opinions about the PS5's DualSense controller and a nice little bit of general next-gen chat as well. There's a 3-way Endless Search that goes down to the wire, along with all your lovely feedback as well.

Isolation week 3. Dale and Jesse have finished Resident Evil 3 multiple times and have some (mixed) thoughts. The whole crew have played a bunch of Predator: Hunting Grounds and it turns out: if it bleeds, you can kill it. Cardy is also back with an Animal Crossing update and Dale has no idea what he's talking about. There's also a listener Endless Search and a lot of general chit chat bollocks.

Isolation week 2. Matt and Jesse have been escaping the limits of their four walls by emerging themselves in the world of Half-Life Alyx. Meanwhile, Cardy has finally ventured down the shed at the end of his garden. There's Animal Crossing updates plus the TV that we've been filling a lot of our time with. There's a monstrous Endless Search affair and too much Barney the Dinosaur chat.  Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com Learn more about your ad choices.

E3 is cancelled, which is shit. Cardy, Matt and Jesse discuss what the backup plan is for all those game companies out there before going in deep on the new Call of Duty: Warzone modes and our (brief) experiences with both Battle Royale and Plunder so far. There isn't really a lot of other fun stuff happening this week so instead dedicate a large portion of this week to listener feedback and return to some nostalgic PS2 chat and dreams video game concepts. Jesse has finally stepped up to host a game of The Endless Search. Good lad. I didn't really know what music to put at the end this week, so enjoy some of The Beatles. Stay safe out there x - Simon.

Are you ready? Are you ready for love? Matt is. He's also very excited to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake after having a bash on 3 hours of it. Joe has the unenviable task of trying to describe exciting new shooter Quantum League, and Cardy has been battering people with carrots and fish in Bloodroots. We also forward to the future of PlayStation by casting our Last of Us TV show leads, as well as reminiscing about our favourite PS2 games following the console's 20th birthday. As if this bumper edition wasn't enough, we've got a brand new Endless Search game plus a healthy dose of feedback to read out.

The Firm™ are back for last one rodeo. Dale delves deep into the life and times of Anointed Mason-Smith. Joe has been finding life hard since his move from Madrid to Rochdale.

Shockingly Alex has returned again, despite promising a 3 month hiatus recently. He's joined by Dale, who talks Resident Evil 3 and has Siege tales from San Francisco. Mr Matt Purslow rounds off the threesome and he is BIG into everything Baldur's Gate 3 and Hunt: Showdown. Also, not only is The Endless Search back, but so is The Perpetual Pursuit. The extra twist is Alex is hosting his first ever Endless Search game on the podcast! Guess he had to pull his finger out at some point... Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe's spent a large portion of the past week on planes, so tells us about what he watched, played and listened to on them. Cardy's played a bit Persona 5 Royal and is still insisting to himself that he won't sink another 100+ hours into it when it releases. Matt's has been finishing off his time with the Half-Life reimagining "Black Mesa" and has been having a rather splendid time by the sound of it. There's also time to discuss how relaxing Animal Crossing is looking after the hefty Nintendo Direct this week. The feedback section takes a dark turn, but the frivolity of The Perpetual Pursuit does well to balance it out.

Matt has seen the film about the quick, blue hedgehog and lets us know what he thinks of it. Cardy has been lost in Dreams but has kindly woken up to tells us all about it.

The Firm™ are back and it's the penultimate episode. After Dale's questionable first season with the Cancun Corona Colts, can the MLS dream continue? Cardy tells us about his next steps in transforming Newcastle United into a European powerhouse, and Joe confesses that he's barely played any Football Manager this week, so he's decided to give us a glimpse into the simulated future instead.

Cardy is also present to perform terrible Vincent D'Onofrio impressions and reminisce about when the Saw franchise was good. A quiz is played and feedback is read. Some things never change.   Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the IGN UK Podcast, Dale and Matt get very hype about all their nostalgic memories being made anew thanks to a brand new Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer. We talk how to pronounce Jenova, Red XIII's voice, the gloom of the Shinra building... everything you could think of, aside from Cloud's cross dressing, which we somehow overlooked. That's why he's in the thumbnail for this episode: he may not get a mention, but he's certainly not forgotten. Jesse's on the show too, and has been playing the Disintegration beta with some of the other IGN guys. There's mixed thoughts a-plenty on that one, but with a sprinkling of hope. There's also some discussion about Warcraft 3 Reforged, the remaster of the classic 2002 Blizzard RTS that's both a fantastic visit to the past and a failure to meet a lofty promise. As ever, there's also a cool listener-submitted game and our responses to your feedback. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This time on our Football Manager spin-off, Cardy is, somehow, on the most familiar ground. His mogul-backed Magpies are on the march, while Dale ups sticks for LA to begin the reign of the Cancun Corona Colts, and Joe embarks on the most terrifying FM journey of all - unemployment.

Joe, Matt and Jesse convened this week to talk about the welcome weirdness of The Lighthouse, the sheer glory of Doom Eternal, and the unexpected delights of The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. We also read some of your bizarre dreams, and found a cool new game that ended, er, quickly. We'll try that one again, promise.

Cardy, Matt and Joe are in town and ready to talk about the new release dates for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Marvel's Avengers and Cyberpunk 2077. You'll have to wait a bit for those, but luckily Joe has a recommendation of what you can do with your time this week in the shape of Uncut Gems. He also took control of an android's mouth in Speaking Simulator with Cardy which is exactly as odd as it sounds. There's also an unexpected session of dream therapy, as childhood nightmares are revisited. The Trendless Lurch is also back for all your search term quizzing needs.
