Hello and welcome to the IGN UK podcast. We're doing it in the studio for the first time in like two and a half years.

I know. And the studio is completely different now. I know it's a brand new studio, brand new mics like...

We're not sure if this is going to sound great because we haven't really done a lot of tests and we probably should, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

If Dale's done his fucking job...

I don't know if Dale's still listening because we got rid of the window where I can see people react from the producers.

I think he is and I think he's probably very angry now. Matt Persa, how are you?

I'm alright, thank you. I trust Dale to his job.

So do all you little suck-ups. Have a go at him.

No, I will not. Take two and a half years to get your Dale, what you play in it.

He's been very helpful.

Technically, it's not even Dale's job to look after the studio.

No, I know. So that's why it's even fun to get to throw it at his face.

Last week was Gamescom. We've still got things to talk about from Gamescom because we saw a lot of stuff after I dropped the chocolate.

BCD before chocolate drop.

Let's go for a few of those.

But first, it's been a long time coming. We've been working on Gotham Night stuff for a month now, Joe.

Well, we saw it almost one month and a half, two months ago.

We did. Didn't actually get to play any of it, but God, we've seen a lot of it.

And I've still got mixed thoughts about this game, but no, I'm still...

I'm definitely more hopeful about it than when I hadn't seen what we'd seen.

My feelings on it are very split.

And we do have... Yeah, like you said, we have to culture a lot of what we say in the fact that we haven't actually played it.
