Leave a comment

This week has been a beauty if, like most of the IGN UK crew, you have eyes that work. Trailers for Battlefield 4 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain have both dropped like a fresh seagull dropping from San Francisco, causing this week’s podcast team of Alex, Daniel, Chris and Rich to go ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ a lot.

Also in the chatter-cannon firing line is this week’s news including a really detailed breakdown on the new GTA V screens, PS Vita’s indie resurrection and Chris’ visit to the set of the new Muppet movie featured David Brent himself, Ricky Gervais.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gervais’ part is being compared to the role played by Jason Segel in the 2011 Muppets movie. However, with the script still under lock and key, it is uncertain how this new character will play into the story.
