The Easy Allies Podcast #13 (E3 Edition)

for Love And Respect: I just stopped the E3 reactions video at the point where Kyle walked out because you guys wanted to start talking about the beginning of The Last Guardian. So some of you do find it to be spoilery when you talk about the beginning of a game? Because so do I! You could not imagine my outrage when Damiani in the other video just flat out started telling how the E3 demo of Zelda he played showed how and when Link wakes up in the beginning. That is such an important part of Zelda and is something I wanna experience myself. For one I really thing you guys should be more consistent about marking spoilers (like for example Huber on Huber Syndrome just casually showed a teaser-scene from the ending of Arkham Knight which I still plan to play!). I'd also like to hear your general opinions what you guys refer to as spoilers. Cause I am not a person who goes on media blackouts, I still wanted to know about mechanics of Zelda (regardless of me buying it anyway), but the beginning is story and story only. Sure, the story itself should also be summarized for people to get the general drift, but to know exactly how it starts is just unneeded and takes away some of the magic in my opinion. But please also, mark all your story spoilers - regardless if it's the beginning, middle part or ending of a game. Love and respect you guys, DOS_SkywalkR (please read as that should you use my comment, not my real name).

PLEASE COME TO PAX AUS!

loved the coverage, i'm so happy to be part of this, you made e3 even better than before, I hope to see you guys with an On Stage show in the near future.

Dammit guys, now I want to get some cheezy bread from Dominos ><

I was home sick yesterday and I thought - I will check out EZA's podcast while I try and wake up. Then before I knew it, I spent most of my day simply recovering on the couch, laughing, watching all your conference streams. You guys made me feel so much better. Thank you :)

They meant exclusive to PSVR for the VR compatible part, so no Vive or Oculus.

Holy wow can we get a "Live Corrections Music" Patreon Goal? That was great.

Glad you guys were able to still squeez in an episode amidst E3 madness. Can't wait to hear more about your experiences there. Top 5 for me: God of War, Spidey, Prey, Death Stranding, Resident evil 7.

Wow. Almost forgot Zelda. Just shows what an amazing E3 it's been. Never played a Zelda game before (I know, I'm a philistine) but looks like I'm going to need some room in my budget for an NX.

Alex Moscow

Honorable mentions to Forza, Horizon and CoD, which kind of looked like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Alex Moscow

My top 5. 5. Spidey, 4. Death Stranding, 3. God of War, 2. Resi 7, 1. Prey.

Alex Moscow

I think Zelda is literally the ONLY thing Damiani gets hype for. It's like he cares about nothing else.

CORRECTION - It's Thomas the Tank Engine!

so, yesterday - just out of curiosity - i checked live-commentaries from several other well known youtubers/groups/'content creators' like EZA .. and my GOD, the negativity that came out of my screen hit me like a truck! i sat there and couldn't enjoy a second of what i was seeing or hearing. and i realised how spoiled and lucky we are, experiencing todays fantastic gaming-world through the eyes of the EZA-crew. the motivation, the hype, the jolliness, the love and respect, everything thats coming out of them is good vibes and passion for this industry. thanks to EZA, i had the time of my life during this E3. i couldn't stop replaying that sony-conference recording. its pure joy! and i have to say, some of them constant-negativ-people out there really could learn a thing or two of those beautiful human beings! thank you EZA-crew - never change! ;)

The Death Stranding trailer/Konami thing reminded me of another classic dig - the end of the Yooka Laylee trailer... if you didn't watch it, check it out

awesome E3 awesome easy allies coverage! I loved this show, it was chaotic and fun! keep up the good work. Without you I could not enjoy E3 as much!

Definitely back the other comments here - I absolutely loved this episode! The sheer chaos of it all, the hype running thick through everyone. Which, might I add, is another bonus - hearing all of you together, shouting across the room at each other, the taunts. It could have easily gone wrong, but the sheer excitement from everyone makes it sing! Even if every few months we can get everyone together again for an episode of madness, logistical and format issues aside, would be awesome :) Keep up the good work, love and respect! PS - y'all were right last few weeks, Nintendo won e3 with that showing of Zelda. Hot sauce snap

In regards to Death Stranding engine, the post above is correct. Also, from a new Polygon article, Kojima has settled on two engines, one of which the teaser was made with. <a href="http://www.polygon.com/e3/2016/6/15/11948540/death-stranding-teaser-playable-hideo-kojima" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.polygon.com/e3/2016/6/15/11948540/death-stranding-teaser-playable-hideo-kojima</a>

As per the Death Stranding Game Engine debate... Saying something is running real time doesn't tell us much. MOST likely it's Unreal Engine. They currently have the best cinematic editor, and this is basically just a cinematic. Also....running in real time doesn't tell you much. Is it running off of Googles super computer? or a PS4? Still hyped for whatever it will be though.

David Edgar

Can you imagine if COD: IW had waited to reveal itself until how it was presented at Sony's press conference? I highly doubt it would have the most disliked trailer on youtube and BF1 gifs of the Activision Zeppelin going down in flames. That cold open to an epic space battle would have let us all slowly figure out what we were watching, then BAM, title for confirmation, and hype solidified. Such a shame.

Dixon Denham

Me too! I miss it! Ian, don't listen to the haters!

Brian "FriendlyMerlin" A.

I'm with D-man, You can't read into the visual quality of a game if they haven't even chosen an engine yet. That makes the "rendered in engine" claim to be dishonest.

The best part of this episode: Kyle legitimately forgetting God of War was announced and then hastily throwing it in at #5, behind StEEP and Prey or whatever game arbitrarily landed at #4. I think I did a literal facepalm last night watching that. Very funny, gang! Oh, and I like this set. I think it should be the one you always use for both podcasts, with the picture-in-picture at the bottom for graphics or trailers or whatever.

Shane Sanders

BTW love the creaking sound before the lock in

Correction: Resident Evil 7 is not VR exclusive. It has a VR mode. From the official press release: Resident Evil 7 is scheduled for release on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system (the full gameplay experience will also be available via the included PlayStation®VR Mode), Xbox One and Windows PC (Steam and Windows 10 Store) across North America and Europe on January 24, 2017.

Timo Arnken

I love how genuine you all are about games. It gives me so much pleasure watching all of the content you produce.

I have been waiting since EZA started for someone to troll Kyle when he asks "do you remember my favourite way to start the show?" Thank you Ian, I think that's exactly how you first did it back on GT Time &lt;3 Just have to say again, watching Sony and then watching the EZA reactions in real-time - Easy Allies YOU are my E3 of Dreams! ^_^

Daniel Wong

Great podcast as always, glad to give your a few bucks now that I can. The video for the Sony conference was epic (on your side and Sony's).

Térence Caron

it will be 11 years since the first prey came out

GoW theory - I think I figured out whats going on with GoW. *SPOILERS* At the end of GoW3 Kratos dies..... at the beginning of this new GoW... Kratos and his son are dead... they are in Valhalla. The boys' mother isn't there.... b/c she never actually died.

Mitchell Collier

You guys are basically an Overwatch team, whatever the composition, there is always a lot of awesomeness :)

Correction: Kojima never said it was running in engine, he only said it was running in realtime.

It's nice that you made something special for E3, but I like the couch better. I feel like the intimacy of the couch suits what Easy Allies is about. To be honest it also looks more pro. The garage looks like a pro living room, while this looks like an amateur tv show set. Love you guys!

^^Must be nice!

^^^NICE^^^

Hey guys, just did the $500 sponsor, please get in touch for the info!

Samuel Justice

Honestly, maybe the best Easy Allies / GT show I ever saw. It was just great. The chaos, the saltiness, the hype... I laughed out loud multiple times. It was really, really entertaining. Thanks for that :-)

loved the disorganization. gives you a real feel of how E3 effects all. L &amp; R

First! , sorry I have nothing better to say.
