    437 - SONY Pulls the Plug

    Wolverine lands with mixed reviews, putting it among Sony’s lowest-rated first-party PS5 games, while Physint gets shelved amid budget and exclusivity concerns. Plus, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound hits PS Plus Extra, Until Dawn 2 is only $49.99, Polyarc shuts down, and Mark Cerny hints the PS6 could be his final PlayStation console. It’s a rough week for Sony.

    436 - Gooooooooood Morning Playstation!

    This week we break down Sony’s latest State of Play, including Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Until Dawn 2, Ghost of Yotei, Marvel’s Wolverine, Metro 2039, Maneater 2, and more. We’ll debate whether Sony actually delivered a great showcase, especially with the chat spending half the show complaining about the no-disc situation. We’ve also got some good news on Onimusha and Blood of the Dawnwalker, the new GTA 6 limited-edition DualSense controllers, and a look at all the games hitting PS5 next week — including Mewgenics, Valheim, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, and NHL 27.

    435 - GTA VI Reveal

    GTA VI is everywhere right now. The latest reveal happened on Netflix, and at this point it feels like the floodgates are completely open. New details and information seem to be coming out every single day, giving us even more to speculate about and talk about as we get closer to the game. Sony has also announced a double State of Play for September 3. The first presentation will cover a broad range of PS5 games before immediately rolling into a second presentation focused specifically on games from Japan and Asia. We already know we’re getting an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but there are plenty of rumors surrounding what else could show up. Could we finally see more of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet? Could Marvel’s Wolverine make an appearance? We’ll have to wait and see. And then there’s the $900 PS5 Pro — which is now sold out across the United States. PlayStation Direct reportedly ran out after other major retailers had already sold through their stock. The timing is pretty interesting considering the GTA VI hype is reaching another level. So the question is: are people actually suddenly buying PS5 Pros because they want the best possible GTA VI experience, or is this simply GTA VI causing another massive hardware buying frenzy? Either way, it’s a pretty interesting development for a console that has had a somewhat complicated reception.

    432 - Wolverine’s Fancy Box

    Wolverine is getting the limited-edition console and controller treatment, with preorders opening August 19. We’ve got the details on the upcoming hardware and what fans can expect. Meanwhile, things aren’t looking great for Supermassive Games. The studio behind The Dark Pictures Anthology is facing up to 75 layoffs in another attempt to keep the company afloat, marking its third round of staff cuts since 2024. Steam Deck owners also have a new way to get their PlayStation fix. A new app called Asobi is bringing PS Plus Premium cloud streaming to the handheld, essentially turning it into a portable PS Portal of sorts. It’s still in testing and doesn’t support your full PS5 library yet, but it could be a pretty sweet option for Steam Deck owners. And GTA 6 is getting another major look on August 27. An extended preview will premiere on Netflix at 3 PM ET, with the YouTube premiere following six hours later. Netflix subscribers get first dibs on what could be our biggest look at Rockstar’s highly anticipated game yet. Plus, we run down the games hitting PlayStation this week, including Grounded 2, No More Room in Hell 2, Madden NFL 27, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, CloverPit, Akatori, and a whole lot more.

We also talk about the success of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, the God of War series recasting Kratos, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse looking like a return to form, and whether classic franchises are better served by nostalgia or innovation.
