While wondering why they're bothering to continue working on Redfall, David Radd played Crackdown 2, an open world game with all of the filler and none of the story, and fought a cyborg Super Saiyan named for a Shakespeare character as the final boss in The Peace Keepers. Meanwhile, Tuesday plays EDF crossed with BattleBit Remastered in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers and moves on from from war crimes and child abuse to medical malpractice in Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2. In news, ESA confirms that E3 2024 will not take place in Los Angeles as they part ways with Reedpop and SAG-AFTRA members vote on potential strike action against the largest game publishers. Simultaneously, union action seems likely at Ubisoft Singapore, where the Skull n' Bones also recently lost its third creative director and Unity proposed charging fees for the number of game installs, leading to a revolt from angry game developers. For the topic, David and Tuesday review the Nintendo Direct and Sony State of Play for September 2023, which had exciting titles on the docket like Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Unicorn Overlord, Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
