PlayNation Podcast

Welcome back to the PlayNation Podcast. We never went anywhere, just been enjoying the summer and we hope you were too. In this episode we talk about:

The PlayStation Showcase. Did it live up to the hype or leave you wanting more? We want to know what you thought but we’ll break down our first impressions and what’s got us excited.

2021 is looking a little bleak when it comes to game releases, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing. We talk out what Joe and Micah are most interested in.

Lastly, we talk about Sony shooting themselves in the foot(again) about their upgrade fees. Why are fans upset about this and why did Sony backtrack?

Welcome to the 29th episode of the PlayNation Podcast. In this episode, while Micah is away, Joe is hard at work making sure we keep our weekly episode streak going.

Joe & Erica also review Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Joe’s final thoughts on this game.

Finally, Joe & Erica talk about women in gaming.

Welcome to Episode 15, now with 1500% more Joe & Micah. In this episode, we break down Jade Raymond’s newly created and independent Haven Studios and the deal with Sony to create a new IP. What would a new IP from a Jade Raymond owned studio look like?

Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda is done thanks to EU regulators. What does this mean? We break it down and what we’re looking out for in the future.

Finally, a nostalgia trip in the announcement of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge – a classic, action packed beat-em-up brawler that will remind all the 80s/90s kids of quarters spent in the arcade.

We break down the latest news from Head of PlayStation Studios Herman Hulst that over 25 PlayStation exclusives are in development at this time. Will they be big blockbuster smashes, new IPs, what can fans of the franchise expect to see?

Finally, we talk the new DualSense colors being released – Cosmic Red and Midnight Black. Is Sony opening up to new customization? Is this part of their future strategy?

In episode 23, Joe and Micah break down the Epic v Apple court case and we discuss some of the juicy bits of info that have been leaked to the public regarding Sony and a few others in the industry.

May PS Plus games include Battlefield V, Wreckfest and Stranded Deep. We talk about the value of these games and which ones we’ll be giving a try.

Finally, we revisit the global chip shortage that’s affecting every industry, but notably gamers. PS5 will continue to be a difficult item to get but compared to the last console cycle, is it really that difficult?
