If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say this was their finest hour.

Hello and welcome to episode 307. Point five of the Big Red Barrel UK podcast. That's right. It's another one of those bono shows. We have been to Namco Bandai once again. That would make our third trip to Namco Bandai since they've moved to their new London office. The fools keep letting us back in the door. We do stuff like this and they still let us back. We don't know why. I am Coleman. Hi. And I have a Tim. Hi. You have a Tim. I have a Tim. Oh good. He is here with me. Yes, I am. Monkey, organ grinder. We, yeah, like a...

I'm sure we trade round, do you implying that is. So it is, uh, at this point of recording, it is very late on a Sunday evening. I've just finished work, so apologies. I'm not fully up to my usual perky self, but we'll give it a go. So Tim, I've made an agenda, which you've decided not to open today.

Yeah, I'm going in blind.

We have played a bunch of games,

a couple we've played before,

and some brand new games,

and some... Tim, I've made an agenda which you've decided not to open today. I'm going in blind.

We have played a bunch of games, a couple we've played before, and some brand new games, and some games that have just been announced as well, the most recent Gamescom, because this was a post-Gamescom event. So all the games on offer for us were all the games they had on show at this year's Gamescom. So I'm going to go through these in the order of which we played them to the best of my knowledge

because it was a couple of days ago now.

So we'll start off with

your friend and mine, Ace Combat 7, Sky's Unknown. Now, Tim, so the last time we played this,

we did our impressions, and that went well, and we put out our video, and all seemed fine.

And then something like 23,000 views later

and a ridiculous amount of abuse towards you, we've learned that you're not allowed to play

novice controls. Not allowed to put it in novice controls. And if you are, you're not allowed to

record it. And we need to hire a professional. But those are expensive. So we decided instead

Tim's going to play in advanced controls.

How did it go?

Anyone that thought it was a bad idea for me to be in novice controls

really isn't going to like what we have to show a video of me being in expert controls.
