00:02:45 - Sources: Resident Evil 3 Remake Coming 2020 (Eurogamer by Tom Phillips)
00:17:55 - Hot off the press of the rumor wheel is that we will have a resident evil 3 nemesis remake next year, which after the remake of 2, bodes well for us. It hasn't been a year since re2 remake released so I'm wondering if the new game has been in the works for longer than we imagined and is getting the TLC it deserves, or if it's going to be a rush job after the tasting that sweet sweet success. - Best Friends Q: Frankfurtter

00:03:44 - Ms. Marvel joins Marvel’s Avengers
00:11:08 Best Friend Q. - I am wondering if this trailer for the inclusion of Ms. Marvel is because there is a good chunk of people who are not feeling the game and they are trying to get more pre-orders. Did this move the needle for you guys on getting the game or do you feel this would of been a better to have her in the game and people find out when they play the game? - Borzen00
00:14:12 Best Friend Q. - Do you think, in modern games criticism, that length is something that should even factor into reviews anymore? Or is it perhaps something of a "when it feels right" situation? - Chad Betteridge
00:21:50 - World’s First for the Destiny Raid, Samuel Horti @ PC Gamer
00:24:15 Best Friend Q. - The raid race in Destiny 2 began Saturday and after a surprisingly short 7 hours it was cleared! It's surprising that such a large expansion dropped a raid that could be cleared so quickly, although black armory was cleared in roughly that amount of time as well. Do you think perhaps the shorter clear time was to entice the massive flow of new players joining up with New Light? - Alex Russ (Zero Syndicate)

To his credit, Xbox has not had any exclusive content in their marketing deals since that time. I believe this has hurt Xbox and their bottom line but he has kept his word.

00:03:40 - PlayStation State of Play Report
00:07:10 Best Friend Q. - I'm sure you already covered the Modern Warfare Spec Ops mode controversy today and its value across the different platforms. There's a lot of blame going towards Activision right now about how they're devaluing the Xbox and PC versions of the game while PS4 gets more value per dollar with the exclusive mode, but why is no one blaming Sony? - Colton Nesler
00:37:12 Best Friend Q. - Does the PlayStation community need to re-calibrate their expectations of what a "State of Play" actually is? Mostly indie titles with the rare showing of a AAA game we already know about. Or should Sony only have a "State of Play" when they have something substantial to reveal / discuss in detail? - Black Jack

00:39:10 - I saw on windows central today an article that stated for one developer game sales quadruped because it was in game pass. In the past Microsoft had stated as well that games in gamepass generally lead to higher sales. This leads me to wonder why Sony hasn't seemed to make any changes too PS Now as a reaction? As the service seems stagnated in comparison to GamePass. As PS Now, still can't download PS3 games, PS Now still lacks recent hits such as the new God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. - Parker Petrov

00:06:15 - Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony commit to disclose drop rates for loot boxes, Mekena Kelly @ The Verge
00:09:25 - Rocket League Dumps Loot Boxes
00:12:59 Best Friend Q. - The craziest story of this console generation has to be Rocket League, what with their release as free on PS+ and on Windows all the way back in July 2015. Since then, it has sold over 6 million units, has become a major eSports staple, and is continuously improved upon today by Psyonix. Now, they're removing lootboxes?! We have NEVER heard of this before in a multiplayer game! Could this be a sign that sales are dropping so they want to get good PR now and bump them up? Or is this just the continuation of the Cinderella story? Also, do you think other developers will take the same approach with lootboxes if they see this plan really take off?

00:21:00 - Death Stranding coming to PC? Sherif Saed @ VG247
00:22:29 Best Friend Q. - The official PS4 exclusives page has removed Death Stranding for it's page, this coming off the back of yesterdays new that about an "exclusive new look'" about the game is coming at GamesCom, makes it seem like maybe the "exclusive new look'" is that it's not "exclusive" anymore.

No other party members get XP, etc. Did they mention anything at the demo about this? Now, if it's just Midgar it won't be too many characters. However, can you play with all four at once?

00:42:08 - CP - “Hi Greg and Andrea!
Hope you had a good E3 judges week. Can we have a bit more on how the sausage gets made for e3 judges week? Do you have to book your own appointments? Do you get unlimited time with the games on display? How many people are there? You must be embargoed up the wazoo, does it not deflate the hype of the press conferences?
Thanks for reading- Andrea looking forward to seeing you in London in a wee while, and Greg you suck #KFAFForStreamys”
00:46:59 - David Scott - “What’s Good Greg and Andrea? With the announcement that Microsoft and PlayStation are partnering for backend development. Do you guys think this is due to the threat of Stadia? Or do you think this is possibly a hint that PlayStation is trying to double down on their streaming service?”
00:53:00 - The Nano Biologist - “Happy Friday and Welcome back! I hope yall had fun during Judges week (please blink twice if you saw a new Fable game). Do the general gaming audience have a misconception when it comes to the Microsoft/Sony Azure server partnership? On twitter, facebook, and reddit people are calling this the end of Xbox/Sony, ones buying out the other, or we will soon see one console's games on the other (similar to when Xbox Live support was coming to the switch). But can this just be a simple partnership? People seem to forget that Xbox uses Sony's Blu Ray drives, AND that Microsoft making deals doesn't always mean Xbox is making those deals and same for PlayStation and Sony. What do you think will come out of this partnership? Will it just be a simple, pay us and we'll host your game streaming service?”

00:44:10 - Hypothetical: If Days Gone was released as an Xbox exclusive, would the fan reaction be the same? I've seen some mention that Days Gone is a good game but is viewed as inferior due to God of War, Last of Us, Bloodborne being so good. Do you think that would be the reaction if it was being compared to Crackdown 3 or Halo 5? Or would it just be seen as Microsoft botching an exclusive title? - Wyatt

00:44:05 - Why don't more third-party studios try and create continuing narratives centered on one defining character? - Daniel Summers
00:49:03 - Do you think we'll ever see a AAA mainstream looter shooter (Destiny, the Division, Anthem, etc..) ever get ported onto the Switch or is this a genre that Nintendo fans are going to be forced live without? - Ramy Fawaz
00:51:50 - When the Division 2 come out last week and I was expecting some sort of server/games as a service problems (as no launch is perfect when computers are involved) but I have heard next to nothing. It is not that I want the game to have massive issues at launch but from years of working in IT I know there is going to be a hic-up or two and the only mentions I saw in the IGN wiki guide and the blue screen errors mentioned in the kinda funny games cast. Is this a sign that the game launched better than Anthem or did Ubi know how to spin the PR having dealt with the bad launch of The Division 1? - Borzen00 (Bore-zen Zero Zero)

00:11:50 - Master Chief Collection Comes to Steam, Adds Reach; Brian Jarrard, Community Director at 343 Industries
00:15:45 Best Friend Q. - Today, Microsoft revealed that it would be bringing the Master Chief Collection to PC. But, unlike what we would have expected, the game isn’t only going to be sold on the Microsoft store, but also on Steam. With this move, along with the rumors of Game Pass coming to the Switch and with Project XCloud bringing XBox games to mobile, it seems like Microsoft isn’t very interested on controlling the platforms in which it releases its games. Taking this into account, coupled with the fact that the XBox One hasn’t been selling all that much, how likely do you think it is that XBox will just become a third-party developer? - Ignacio Rojas
