293. "Buyer's Remorse in Video Games" - PS This is Awesome! (A PlayStation Podcast)
1In today's episode, we've got a lineup of gaming and entertainment news that's bound to get you excited and we’ll also be reviewing the latest releases this week on the PSN.
First up, we'll dive into the gaming world with some surprising developments. "Goodbye Volcano High" has received some pretty impressive review scores!
Next, we hop aboard the Hype Train as we explore the latest screenshots of NYC from "Marvel's Spider-Man 2." The visuals, especially Times Square, have left us in awe. We'll dissect these stunning images and speculate on what's in store for the highly anticipated sequel.
Roblox is coming to PS4 and PS5 in October, with an astonishing 65 million daily players. We'll take a closer look at this online sensation's expansion into the PlayStation world and what it means for the gaming landscape.
E3 fans, brace yourselves because it looks like the end of an era. Reedpop, a key collaborator in organizing events like E3, has officially cut ties with The ESA (Entertainment Software Association). We'll explore the implications of this breakup and whether this spells the end for the iconic gaming expo.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making a grand return! With the latest movie, and "The Last Ronin" video game on the horizon, we're in for a shell-tastic revival. Plus, a sequel game tied to the recent movie is in the works, marking Outright Games' console debut. We'll discuss all things turtles and what to expect from these exciting releases.
"Sea of Stars" and the Final Fantasy pixel remasters are making waves in the gaming world. We'll delve into the surprising success of "Sea of Stars," despite its availability on PSPLUS and Xbox Game Pass, and explore the enduring appeal of classic pixelated Final Fantasy titles.
Diablo fans, get ready for a yearly dose of excitement as Diablo 4 expansion DLCs are set to drop annually. We'll share our opinions on this ambitious plan and what it means for the future of the franchise.
In the world of animated adaptations, Annapurna Animation is making plans to bring their adaptation of the game "STRAY." to the big screen. We'll discuss their previous successes, including "Nimona.”
Lastly, for those eagerly anticipating THQ Nordic's reboot of "Alone in the Dark," we have some news. The game's release has been pushed to January 2024, so we'll have to exercise a bit more patience. We'll dive into what this delay could mean for the game's quality.
