Hi guys - this is Kev from Sheffield. Thanks for reading my email out! Shout out to any other Amstrad kids out there. Love Lemmings too!

Have to disagree with the point that faces look worse now. Games like the last of us 2, Uncharted 4, and red dead 2 show great improvements from what was previously seen in past gens.

The hair (fishtail braid?) of Abby in The Last of Us 2 was great. It didn't go through her backpack or shoulders, but her hair fell nicely on top of them.

This generation has advanced gaming in a lot of incredible ways. There's something for every type of person. It's been an absolutely magical 7 years!!!

I genuinely laughed out loud with Justin's dead pan delivery - "The best jokes are the ones you have to explain after".

I agree with you Tina, Lovecraft Country was really good. The only problem is that now I want a proper H.P. Lovecraft stories show.

The UK/European 80s gaming scene is fascinating. For anyone who wants more of that (alongside plenty of console stuff) I highly recommend checking out Retro Gamer magazine which is a monthly publication written here in the UK but available worldwide

Leaing a comment just to show love for the Super Castelvania IV soundtrack bites throughout the episode. Brings back great memories. Love the Scoop crew, great episode as usual!

We may see some relief when it comes to video games size. This generation sometimes they have to duplicate assets so that games can load progressively as we play them with a solid-state hard drive you don’t have to duplicate assets

Can someone tell Sam that in BOTW you can also buy the 1000 pictures :). Also counts for completion. as long as you finished the compendium you're good

I tend to think suspending games was the biggest advancement of this gen, now being able to suspend your console and game then start it up quickly without having to load a save.
Nice to hear a mention of the Amiga, my first computer with my first games
