Star Wars: Squadrons Trailer

EA debuted its first trailer for Star Wars: Squadrons this morning. As expected, the game is centered around piloting fighters. Players can choose between flying for The New Republic or The Empire. No time frame was given for when the game takes place, but judging by the X-Wing design, it looks to be sometime between Return Of The Jedi and The Force Awakens.

Are there any game announcements that you liked? Any cool trailers? Sound off below!

E3 Fallout, Fox-Disney-Comcast Buyout, Wonder Woman 2

This episode of Geekville Radio has two main sections in News and talking the fallout of the 2018 E3 expo.

THE NEWS

Comcast threw the world a curve ball by making a $65 billion dollar bid to buy 20th Century Fox. While Disney and Fox had been at the forefront, Comcast and Fox had been already talking for some time. What could this mean for the Marvel MCU? Could this mean “21st Comcast Fox”?

In DC Movie news, the working title for the second Wonder Woman movie is Wonder Woman 1984. Director Patty Jenkins tweeted this photo showing Chris Pine on the set as Steve Trevor. Could this be a decendant of the original, a la Lyle Waggoner in the TV series? Or could something more sinister be at work? And what of Lynda Carter herself?

E3 FALLOUT

The second part of the show is dedicated to news Seth and Train found interesting from E3. This is of course not an exhaustive or comprehensive list. We do recommend checking out our sister podcast You Just Got Fragged for a more in depth look at E3.

Perhaps the biggest Square-Enix news is the official trailers and gameplay footage for Kingdom Hearts III. Clearly we see the addition of characters from Frozen, Incredibles, and Toy Story. Could we be seeing Marvel or Star Wars characters at some point? And what’s with a version costing over 200 bucks?

Also featured prominantly was the Shadow Of The Tomb Raider trailer, which showed some very Batman Arkham style gameplay.

Seth also showed interest in the Dragon Quest XI game since he loved the NES games so much back in the day

Not one, not two, but THREE Gears Of War themed games in Gears 5, Gears Tactics, and Gears Pop.

The next entry in the Forza series, Forza Horizon 4

Also, Cyberpunk 2077 seemed to be a big surprise hit with fans

Last but not least, Seth in anxious to see what the relaunched Battletoads will look like.
