It’s another fine weekend, the end of the month, and days before a stellar new month of gaming, but before we move onto the merry month of May, we’ve got plenty of hot gaming topics to discuss. Join us and stay awhile, won’t you?

On this April 30 episode of the Shacknews Dump, we take another dive into Resident Evil content ahead of Village’s release. The next demo is going to be extended quite thoroughly, but it looks like RE:Verse is being delayed for some extra polish. We also talk about the PlayStation State of Play featuring the astounding-looking gameplay of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Also, Bobby Kotick took a pay cut with the stipulation that he could somehow be paid more money because why try to pretend you’re not the worst?

Tune into the Shacknews Dump on the Shacknews Twitch channel at 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. ET as we talk about these and other hot news items on the show. You can also watch just below.

Here’s the rundown of topics on today’s Shacknews Dump:

• Resident Evil Re:Verse delayed, will no longer launch alongside Village
• Resident Evil Village's final demo before launch will be extended by a week
• Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart - Everything we know
• The Last of Us Part 2 writers have an outline for Part 3, but no plans to make game for now
• Activision CEO Bobby Kotick takes salary cut, but is eligible for bonuses that cover it
• New Pokemon Snap review: Almost picture perfect
• Mortal Kombat movie review: A flawed victory
• Earth Defense Force: World Brothers hands-off preview: Bug blasting down memory lane
• Super Mario Party Version 1.1.0 update randomly expands online play in the game
