E44: Blockbuster Deals


Listen Later

After a busy week for the both of us, we can enjoy a more filled news worthy week. So let's get in to it!

Sony has been busy, who have now acquired two new studios (maybe three). First Housemarque, the developers of Returnal for PS5. An good and an obvious choice. They did a good job with Returnal and it's nice to see them appreciated and taken care of by Sony moving forward. Also Nixxes a PC porting studio, which can only mean more Playstation titles coming to PC. Hurray! There are also some indicating that Bluepoint is also acquired, but it's not officially confirmed. We can only hope, because they are a good choice too.
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut has been announced, brining the game to PS5 together with more content and fucntions! Don't worry, this version will also be on PS4. But I think we know where you want to play this game. Guess we better find a PS5 pretty soon!
After positive Sony news, we talk about Sony lack of support of indie games. What happened Sony? You used to care. Now you only care about the big blockbuster experience. Indies matter too! Hopefully with Shuhei Yoshida in charge we can expect some changes. Cause lately, it hasn't been good.
Also we talk about EA Play Schedule for July with five different showcases, Halo Multiplayer and we acknowledge the Kojima/Silent Hill conspiracy. Hope you'll enjoy the episode!
