Joe's spent a large portion of the past week on planes, so tells us about what he watched, played and listened to on them. Cardy's played a bit Persona 5 Royal and is still insisting to himself that he won't sink another 100+ hours into it when it releases. Matt's has been finishing off his time with the Half-Life reimagining "Black Mesa" and has been having a rather splendid time by the sound of it. There's also time to discuss how relaxing Animal Crossing is looking after the hefty Nintendo Direct this week. The feedback section takes a dark turn, but the frivolity of The Perpetual Pursuit does well to balance it out.

This week on the IGN UK Podcast, Dale and Matt get very hype about all their nostalgic memories being made anew thanks to a brand new Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer. We talk how to pronounce Jenova, Red XIII's voice, the gloom of the Shinra building... everything you could think of, aside from Cloud's cross dressing, which we somehow overlooked. That's why he's in the thumbnail for this episode: he may not get a mention, but he's certainly not forgotten. Jesse's on the show too, and has been playing the Disintegration beta with some of the other IGN guys. There's mixed thoughts a-plenty on that one, but with a sprinkling of hope. There's also some discussion about Warcraft 3 Reforged, the remaster of the classic 2002 Blizzard RTS that's both a fantastic visit to the past and a failure to meet a lofty promise. As ever, there's also a cool listener-submitted game and our responses to your feedback. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cardy, Matt and Joe are in town and ready to talk about the new release dates for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Marvel's Avengers and Cyberpunk 2077. You'll have to wait a bit for those, but luckily Joe has a recommendation of what you can do with your time this week in the shape of Uncut Gems. He also took control of an android's mouth in Speaking Simulator with Cardy which is exactly as odd as it sounds. There's also an unexpected session of dream therapy, as childhood nightmares are revisited. The Trendless Lurch is also back for all your search term quizzing needs.
