The Weekly Stuff #321 – PS5 Specs, Doom & Animal Crossing Impressions, and End of Evangelion Discussion

<p>It’s a very busy show this week, as we got our first in-depth look at Sony’s PlayStation 5, finally got to play <i>Doom Eternal </i>and <i>Animal Crossing: New Horizons, </i>and return to <i>Neon Genesis Evangelion </i>to talk about <i>The End of Evangelion. </i>For the games, we just give some quick spoiler-free first impressions – the full review of <i>Doom Eternal </i>will be on next week’s show – while Jonathan also talks about finishing <i>Ori and the Will of the Wisps </i>and Sean gives final thoughts on <i>Yakuza 4. </i>Then we dive deep with the PlayStation 5 news, and the paradox of how badly Sony has botched this entire messaging roll-out compared with how exciting the console is shaping up to be. Both consoles, as we also got some more news on Xbox Series X, and each system seems to have a lot going for it. And finally, in a crossover with our sister show <a><i><strong>Weekly Suit Gundam</strong></i></a><i><strong>,</strong></i>we do Part 2 of our big <i>Evangelion </i>discussion with a long talk about the <i>End of Evangelion </i>film that replaces the controversial ending of the TV show with a lot of big swings and a questionable number of hits. </p><p><strong>Time Chart: </strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:10:15</p><p>Games (Doom, Animal Crossing, and more): 0:10:15 – 0:40:54</p><p>PS5/Xbox Series X Discussion: 0:40:54 – 1:50:22</p><p>End of Evangelion: 1:50:22 – 3:24:13</p><p><a href="https://weeklystuff.substack.com/"><strong>Subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Wordcast Newsletter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6QsXZYt12NIzF224GKBA0g"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in iTunes!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
