Free Play 116 | State of Lame 2021

SHOW NOTES

We’re used to seeing some massive game announcements in press conferences held at E3 and other conventions. COVID and the lack of large conferences, has shifted the focus now more than ever to shorter online broadcasts like Nintendo’s Treehouse, Playstation’s State of Play, and Xbox Showcase. We had high hopes for week’s Playstation State of Play, and…. It just wasn’t what we expected.
