  • But Seriously, What Is Death Stranding? | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP106

    In a CRAZY turn of events Hideo Kojima surprised the world by releasing not just a new trailer for Death Stranding but a RELEASE DATE!!!

    Saying that though… We still really have no idea what Death Stranding is…

    This week Ryan is joined by AteBit and Puttin’ In Work’s Jono Pech to try understand what this PlayStation exclusive will become.

    Ryan also jumps in with his review of Blood & Truth.

    Thank you once again to PlayStation Australia for providing the game for us to play and review.

  • Lights, Camera, PlayStation? | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP105

    This week Sony announced that they will be taking PlayStation and their IPs into the movie and TV business with PlayStation Productions.

    By keeping the rights for God of War, The Last of Us, and Horizon: Zero Dawn in house PlayStation will presumably be able to create the best video game movies ever… right?

    Ryan and Josh chat about what this could mean for PlayStation, what properties should become movies or series, or whether we should even care.

  • When Did 7 Out of 10 Become Bad? | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP102
    With Days Gone dropping last week, and receiving a Metacritic average of 72, the internet has erupted and declared the game as garbage.
    But a 7/10 is good, yeah?
    If its a 10 point scale an average game should be a 5, anything below that would certainly be considered bad but anything higher has to be at least better than average.
    Ryan and Josh break down their thoughts on review scores and why a 7/10 became so bad.
