223: Dauntless, Pokemon and Keanu Reeves Wins E3!

This week we dive into the free to play monster hunter game Dauntless. This is made by Phoenix Labs and it's similar to Monster Hunter in that you track down monsters to harvest them for better armor and weapons. It's unique in that it's totally free to play and a lot of fun despite some noticable bugs. Brett also revisits an old favorite of his on the PS4.
In our news, before E3 Nintendo made sure to have a special direct revealing lots more details on Pokemon Sword & Shield. We have dynamaxing, new characters and an introduction of co-op raids. Additionally, Google announced pricing and supported games for Google Stadia ahead of E3. Destiny also announces their new DLC Shadowkeep.
The discussion this week is all about the first part of E3. We talk about the weekend of conferences such as EA Play's live stream, Microsoft, Bethesda and Ubisoft. Next week we'll return with our final thoughts on the showcase with Square Enix, Nintendo and of course more details on gameplay and reveals.
