Episode 301 - Layoffs at Sony Studios

Now, let's talk about games. Fred is 15 hours into "Alan Wake 2," dealing with a bit of stick drift, while Jake keeps swinging into action with "Spider-Man 2." In the news, the November PS PLUS Games have been announced, including "Mafia II: Definitive Edition," "Aliens: Fireteam Elite," and "Dragon Ball: The Breakers." We explore the ongoing mystery of "The Last of Us Online Project," "The Last of Us" Season 2 filming, Bungie's staff changes, and Destiny 2 delays. We discuss the release of the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 campaign, and Phantom Blade Zero’s free to play spin-off Phantom Blade Executioners. Far Cry 6 support has officially ended, and Sony has revealed its iSIZE acquisition. We dive into "Gran Turismo Sophy 2.0" and rumors about the God of War Ragnarok expansion. Get a glimpse of the PS5 Slim next to the regular PS5, and explore the rumor of a Max Payne 1 & 2 remake project by Remedy. We wrap up with an overview of PlayStation Studios' ongoing projects.
