Platinum Explosion: A PlayStation Podcast Explosion Network Gaming

There was not a lot of PlayStation-related news at Summer Game Fest, but Phantom Blade Zero closed Summer Game Fest, and Astro Bot got an update.

We discuss the May 2024 State of Play, which includes the first gameplay for Conrod and the reveal of a new Astro Bot game.

It’s the 350th episode of the podcast, so please celebrate us by getting a Platinum trophy, sharing this show with your friends, or donating to our Ko-Fi page!

We examine the PlayStation Showcase in 2023 and the games that were shown. What new releases have been announced? What hasn’t? Does the showcase look better or worse in retrospect?

We have TWO new bosses at the front of PlayStation, replacing Jim Ryan. Who are they, and what do we think they’ll be doing as they split the workload?

Helldivers 2 players got really mad about having to connect their PC game to the PlayStation Network, and then it’s walked back. What a week of drama!
