  • End of DayZ – DayZ Banned in Australia | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP116

    Another game has been hit by the proverbial ban-hammer as The Australian Classification Board has refused classification for DayZ.

    With the use of an illicit substance for a positive gain in-game the Bohemia Interactive almost-fovever-in-early-access title will simply not be accepted.

    Now granted, The Classification Board is well within their rights to do this as per their 2013 created guidelines however are they correct? Should these guidelines be updated or altered?

    Ryan and Josh sit down and debate the state of video game classification and whether improvements can be made.

    E3 just cannot go without leaks, now can it?

    Wolfenstein: Youngblood changes things up compared to it’s 2017 predecessor Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus by bringing in co-op, an in-game economy, faux-pen worlds, and some Destiny/The Division style gameplay.

  • It’s Oh So Quiet | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP113

    The gaming industry seems to be so quiet lately, at least on the PlayStation front.

    But why is that?

    Ryan and Josh speculate and discuss the difficulties of creating a PlayStation show in Sony quiet world.
