Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

Months after Insomniac confirmed that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will still be releasing this year, Tony Todd might have let the release date slip on Twitter! In an interaction with a fan, he revealed that September seems to be the release date with marketing starting to push in August. We share our thoughts on this, when to expect The Last of Us HBO to return with Season 2, discuss companies delisting games they own the rights to and how it impacts game preservation, check in on what you all think about games taking the "Final Fantasy" anthology approach and how media has become so Sequel oriented, how AI may or may not help artists and writers moving forward in gaming, answer questions about PS5 Pro and our favorite foods, and answer the most important question of them all.... What that mouth do? All this and more in this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast! Join us!

Hot off the back the most recent State of Play, Jason Schrier and Jeff Grub reveal negative reactions see Suicide Squad delayed again, but how much of the criticism can reasonably be changed? We share our thoughts on this, talk Square Enix underperforming with recent games from big releases like Forspoken to it's smaller and mid-sized titles like The Diofield Chronicle and Triangle Strategy, as well as look at Neil Druckmann talking Naughty Dog's next game alongside an abandoned prequel to The Last of Us amidst fans hopes for a Part 3, GameStop bringing controversy for cancelling Resident Evil 4 Remake collector's edition orders, Sony being bullish on PSVR2's success in comparison to PSVR1, and more!

State of Play hit this week and brought with it updates on mostly known games, with Baldur's Gate 3 controversy due to it's unplanned exclusivity on PS5 due to Series S development issues, Resident 4 getting even more gameplay ahead of it's upcoming release, and finally a look at Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will be offering gamers when it hits this May. We share our thoughts on all this, as well as get the community's input on how they see subscription services changing purchasing habits, EA hinting that there COULD be further remakes for Dead Space 2 and 3 with maybe a new game altogether, The Outer Worlds getting to grace PlayStation one last time with the next-gen version that is releasing soon, Elden Ring's first full fledged DLC "Shadow of the Erdtree" getting announced, why more games don't follow Mass Effect's lead in modern gaming, and what artists discography we'd use to fuel a game's score and story if we were given the keys to the kingdom! All this and more on this week's Triangle Square

Extra/Premium tier's monthly catalog additions finally bring a newer 1st party game to the service with Horizon: Forbidden West hitting PS Plus, potentially giving us an indication of how PlayStation intends to use 1st party titles with it's subscription service in contrast to Xbox's Game Pass. We share our thoughts on this, State of Play returns with a PSVR2 and 3rd party focused showcase, Hogwarts Legacy seemingly not planning any DLC or post-launch content, Sonic Frontiers vastly exceeding Sega's expectations and how that lead to an increased budget for the next title, Microsoft signing 10 year deals with GeForce Now & Nintendo ahead of the hearings for their Acitvision/Blizzard/King deal while bringing up PlayStation market share dominance, and more!

Live service (or Games as a Service) titles shook the gaming community in a bit of a recent pile up of games ending support for their titles, with games like Marvel's Avengers, Knock Out City, Rumbleverse, and many more announcing end of service or outright being cancelled before hitting the digital storefronts. Is this indicative of a problem with the type of game, and should PlayStation, who have made it known they have a number of games as a service titles in development, be worried about this development? We share our thoughts on this, how AAA gaming could use a shake-up of more Dead Space and Resident Evil 8 length titles, Alan Wake 2 getting an update on development and how important Remedy sees the IP internally, PS Plus switching things up by removing the PS Plus Collection benefit that PS5 has offered since launch, how we'd rate the PS5, look back at some listener push-back on a recent topic, and get a glimpse into YOUR video game character power couples! All this and more on this week's Triangle Squ

This week saw a Horizon multiplayer leak that showed footage and concept art for the title in alpha, talk Bloomberg's potentially false reporting of PSVR2 forecasts being lowered, if PSVR2 has enough appeal out of the gate for a high demand, as well as the death of E3 as we knew it with the big 3 bowing out of the yearly trade show this time. We share our thoughts on all this, as well as Naughty Dog confirming yet again that they have moved on from Uncharted and could likely do the same with The Last of Us soon, what Uncharted from a new developer might look like and if it'll face the same challenges that 343 have faced with Halo, whether Horizon as an IP is being overly "milked" with the litany of projects that are rumored/leaked, set up shop with the first ever Triangle Squared Advice Column for wayward gamers & more!

2023 is bringing with it new life to Marvel's presence in games, as well as seeing the end of another as Insomniac's Marvel spree continues with Spider-Man 2 being once again reassured to be hitting this year, while on the flip side Crystal Dynamics' Marvel's Avengers game is officially hitting it's end of life stage with one final balancing update before support ends on the long frought game. We share our thoughts on all this, PlayStation Productions getting the synergy they likely hoped for with The Last of Us Part 1 and Remastered's sales skyrocketing after the HBO series' incredible reception, how Sony may push their interconnected media franchises forward with Twisted Metal, God of War, Horizon and more shows and movies on the way, and Forspoken's rocky reception! All this while finally taking time to share our favorite gaming experiences of 2022 culminating in our Game's of the Year!

This week brought with it talk of Ubisoft's troubles, cancelling 3 games and delaying Skull & Bones yet again, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League getting a possible leak hinting at a Live service or Games as a Service style setup, and a leaker returns to tease 3rd party PlayStation deals that line up nicely with the evergreen MGS Remake rumors that have circulated around! We talk all this, get a grasp on what lessons the community feel they've learned from games, pitch a sitcom spin on The Last of Us featuring a Clicker living with a roommate (hilarity ensues), if Outriders dev People Can Fly might be behind the rumored PlayStation shooter, and much more!

Sony hit CES with a littany of updates on PlayStation, from 30 million PS5s sold, to Gran Turismo 7 getting a free PSVR2 update, to even announcing their foray into the hardware side of accessbility with Project Leonardo: PlayStation's take on a highly customizable accessibility controller. We share our thoughts on all this, Neil Druckmann talking about Naughty Dog announcing games closer to when they are ready to avoid public delays and the scrutiny/pressure that comes with them, a potentially leaked PS5 exclusive shooter being dubbed by those who have seen it as "Gears of Effect", when Sony might finally give us a PlayStation showcase, and the pros and cons of developers sticking to a game and/or genre and developers we'd like to see try their hand at something different.

Neil Druckmann recently stirred the pot when outlets covered that he said Naughty Dog's next game will be "structured more like a TV show", going as far as saying that he'd assembled a writers room for the project, before later clarifying that the quote was taken out of context and instead that he meant the game would just be made in a more collaborative way, but it spurred the question. How could writing with a writers room change the Naughty Dog games that so many people love for the better or worse? We share our thoughts on this, insiders claiming that Jim Ryan doesn't view Game Pass as competition, PlayStation and Xbox seeming to try and lean into regulators ignorance to the overall gaming business with their remarks against each other in the ongoing regulators fight, the DualSense Edge being a great extension of the DualSense saddled with slightly worse battery life, and how gamers need to be careful to not throw stones in glass houses when discussing their opinions. All this and more on this week's Tria

Building off the backs of their creators previous work, Striking Distance Studios set out to craft a new survival horror title from the mind behind Dead Space, in the form of The Callisto Protocol. Met with excitement at it's unveiling, and with a sense of hype that carried through to launch, it soon found itself to be quite the divisive game amongst fans and critics alike. We gather in this episode of Spoiler Chats to hopefully dig deeper and discuss what worked, what didn't work, and what we hope for in a sequel from presentation, gameplay, and story for the studios first game, that's scratching the surface of potential.

The long awaited release of The Callisto Protocol has come and with it we share our thoughts on the game in the wake of the game being divisive amongst the internet and ask: Why is The Callisto Protocol so divisive? We also talk Fortnite bringing Unreal Engine 5.1 to the game with Chapter 4 to finally show off tech like Nanite and Lumen in a fully playable console game and how that impacts our excitement for future titles using the engine like Kingdom Hearts 4, Avowed, etc.., Monster Hunter: Rise finally making it's way to PlayStation and Xbox early next year, Steam prematurely shooting out Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's release date on it's product page, question PlayStation's long term plan for the PS Plus tiers and how they might improve the Premium tier's value, Microsoft joining the ranks of companies charging $70 for their AAA games, and more!

Sony announced that God of War: Ragnarok broke the companies record for fastest selling first-party title, while Pokemon manages to double that, Microsoft offer Sony 10 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation and prepare concessions to help push the Activision deal through, and The Witcher remake goes open-world while being likely being years off from release.

After years of people bemoaning "shovelware" and "just for platinum" games on PS Store, it seems PlayStation might be clamping down on "spam" games if a report is to be believed. We share our thoughts on this, God of War: Ragnarok's director asking for Santa Monica to helm a Castlevania game, Sony & Honda teaming up to put PS5 into electric vehicles so everyone can tap into their inner Ja Rule circa The Fast and The Furious, Sony increasing investment into its China Hero Project initiative and much more!

The Game Awards have revealed the nominees for the seemingly coveted Game of the Year award as well as several other categories, which leads us to look back at this year, how releases have gone, and discuss what we personally make of determining what makes something deserving of a "Game of the Year" moniker. We share our thoughts on that, Razer bringing offset sticks to the PS5 in a surprisingly priced pro controller, The Witcher 3 finally getting it's next-gen version in December, and Phil Spencer taking to a podcast to discuss their intention to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation moving forward much like they've done for Minecraft, no strings attached.

EA announced a 3 game deal with Marvel that brings back memories of their sometimes controversial deal with Star Wars, but this time without the exclusivity clause. Will these games sell as well as the Star Wars games while hopefully garnering more universal praise? We talk our thoughts on that, while looking at PlayStation's job listing for a new San Diego Studio to co-develop a new game in a "beloved franchise" along Naughty Dog and the inevitable conclusion that more Uncharted is likely on the way, talk Sony London Studio branching out from it's recent VR adventures to make a new fantasy live service game for PS5, CD Projekt Red revealing that Canis Majoris was a remake of The Witcher for next-gen consoles, Striking Distance sticking to their severed limbs and cancelling the Japanese release of The Callisto Protocol as opposed to censoring it for their ratings board, and understand Chris' aversion to Platforming Games while asking what exactly we consider platforming to be.

This week finally saw Konami return to Silent Hill, unveiling not only 1 but multiple new games including a remake of fan favorite Silent Hill 2, timed exclusively to PS5, as well as a new movie from the director of the original movie. Resident Evil followed suit with Capcom showing off the Winter's Expansion for Resdient Evil 8, and a look at much more gameplay from Resident Evil 4's big remake set to hit next year. We share our thoughts on all this, as well as looking at Bethesda coming back to PlayStation for a Fallout 4 next-gen launch, Final Fantasy 16's new "Ambition" trailer showcasing the nations of this new world and the people within them, an unlikely source claiming that Insomniac's Wolverine game is coming in 2023, and check in on what you in the community think about PlayStation reportedly skipping out on a PlayStation Showcase in order to aid their perception throughout the CMA investigation.
