February 13, 2024Helldivers 2 is a massive success, PlayStation Portal review & Dreams nearly came to PC
In this episode of Platinum Explosion, Dylan and Ashley discuss the PlayStation Portal, the success of Helldivers 2, Kojima's game and movie, the missed opportunity of Dreams on PC, and the possibility of a Dreams remaster.

Takeaways
The PlayStation Portal is a good device but is overpriced and unnecessary for most people.
Helldivers 2 has been a big success, selling around a million copies in less than a week.
Dreams was nearly complete for a PS5 and PC port, but the project was affected by layoffs.
Kojima's new game, Fisnet, is being branded as both a game and a movie.
Dreams remastered could have included ray tracing and keyboard and mouse support.
