Welcome back to PlayStation Blogcast! We have another jam-packed show today, and we mean it, too! We talk with one of two devs behind the ambitious space scoundrel simulator Rebel Galaxy on PS4. And an old friend stops by to chat about the high-flying antics of Rocket League. Plus, your listener letters, Nick’s great comedic…
When Rainbow Six Siege morphed into the free-to-play Rainbow Six Siege X back in June, it wasn’t the brave new beginning some had hoped for. Players didn’t like how currency gain slowed to a crawl (that has since been fixed) and server woes were widely reported. But one of the enduring complaints about Siege X…
Tickets, please. I thought Locomoto would be the perfect game for me amidst the Switch 2 chaos. With all the excitement of opening new games and speeding around the track in Mario Kart World, I needed something much slower, calmer, and cosier. And, for the first five hours, Locomoto slotted into that role perfectly. You’re…
We lost our way as a society when we stopped making wave-based co-op modes. “Horde mode” (as popularized by Gears of War) became the hot new thing in shooters of the late 2000s, spawning unique interpretations of PvE gauntlets in everything from Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty to Uncharted and even Mass Effect….
What are you doing over there in that survival game? Picking up rocks and gathering twigs, chopping down trees and collecting berries, all so you can… what? Build a little house that doesn’t move and live inside it? Get with the program! This year the survival genre is ditching those sad wooden huts in favor…
Since its initial creative pitch in 2010 until weeks before its launch, Horizon Zero Dawn has inspired awe in those that see it. We’ve spent more than a decade building the Killzone franchise, and now Horizon Zero Dawn marks an entirely new journey for us. In our multi-part Horizon Zero Dawn behind-the-scenes profile, key members…
Big changes have been happening within Helldivers 2 of late. After tension within the community saw Steam reviews plummet to Mostly Negative, Arrowhead issued a statement promising a whole bunch of alterations to how the game works. Technical improvements! New red stratagems! And most importantly of all, a complete rework of how objectives and player…
The embers are still hot from Nvidia’s RTX 5070 graphics card launch, but looking around, you’d be hard-pressed to tell anything happened at all. I’ve covered a good few GPU launches in my time, including the crypto/covid-driven shortages, and I’ve been a customer trying to buy a GPU in the past. So I get that…
From “Marioooo?” to “?ooooiraM”. Spooky season is well and truly upon us, and Nintendo has marked the occasion by dropping the excellent Luigi’s Mansion onto the Switch 2’s GameCube NSO library. Many of us will be diving back in today for the first time in decades, but with so many hours spent with Luigi’s Mansion…
Escape From Tarkov is the rare PC game to strike it big without a presence on big digital storefronts like Steam, in part because it helped prove the extraction shooter had legs. Demand was still high to get the game on Valve’s absurdly popular platform, though, and the day has finally come—though it was a…
