The Weekly Stuff #380 – E3 2021 Analysis Spectacular! (Part 1) – “The E3 That Almost Wasn’t, But Then Was”

<p>After being cancelled in 2020, E3 – the Electronic Entertainment Expo, aka “That Week With All the Video Game Trailers” – is back, sort of, for 2021, in entirely online form. And as we’ve done since the beginning, we’re covering all of it, with today’s episode going over the shows from Ubisoft, Microsoft/Bethesda, Square Enix, and the Summer Games Fest, with Sean’s traditionally exhaustive and/or obsessive notes as our guide! It’s not a particularly good E3 so far, but with looks at <i>Elden Ring, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Forza Horizon 5, Babylon’s Fall, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 </i>and more, there’s still plenty of interesting stuff to talk about. And before we dive into the E3 news, we also break down some interesting news from the world of <i>Gundam, </i>and give first impressions of Insomniac’s PS5 exclusive <i>Ratchet + Clank: Rift Apart, </i>which is pretty wonderful so far. </p><p>Enjoy, and come back next week for the rest of our E3 coverage, including Nintendo’s showcase!</p><p><strong>TIME CHART:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:07:43</p><p><i>Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart </i>Impressions: 0:18:33 – 0:36:52</p><p>Jonathan’s <i>Resident Evil </i>Adventures: 0:36:52 – 0:46:35</p><p><i>Gundam </i>News: 0:46:35 – 1:00:26</p><p>E3 2021 Analysis: 1:00:26 – 3:16:47</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://anchor.fm/weeklysuitgundam"><strong>Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!</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 Apple Podcasts!</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>
