PSBF Presents: Faster Than Reloading

Jesse Lucatino (JMLMaster) joins Anthony, Jeff & Miguel to talk Xbox Series X and PS5 impressions! We go over features we do and don't like on the new consoles, talk about the fascinating and excellent Astro's Playroom, dig into some other next gen games and lambast the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War multiplayer.

Also - this is, in fact, episode 30. Anthony looked at the wrong Google Doc for the episode number, oops?

In the final episode before next gen official kicks off, we discuss the long road from PS4's humble beginnings and all the features we didn't realize were missing back in 2013, Miguel laments the horrible rollout of next gen consoles, and the guys get hyped for what games they're excited to dive into first later this week!

In a relatively light news week, the guys talk about what they've been playing including Warzone's new Halloween themed event and Anthony's return trip to Bloodborne's Yharnam (and surrounding atrocities). We get a peak at what third party accessories for the PS5 can look like, get some hints at a streaming future for Game Pass and finally see a sneak peak at Tom Holland as our favorite resident treasure hunter Nathan Drake! We wrap up the show with a discussion on the games that GameInformer has listed as Games of the Generation and then add in our own picks!

In this big PS5 preview edition of FTR, we go over a big info dump that Sony gave us from the past couple weeks including the User Interface/User Experience (finally!), some cool new features like Share Play Picture In Picture, backwards compatability and how game boost affects it & more! We get into the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Beta week 2 (and how we think the new mode needs some work), and then wrap up the episode with our DEFINITIVE ranking for the Playstation Plus Collection coming to all PS5 owners who are subscribed to PS Plus!

This week we talk about a whole bunch of stuff, unfortunately we had some technical difficulties so our discussion on Ghost of Tsushima's new co-op Legends move didn't make it in and our introduction to talking about Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Zombies starts a bit...abrupt. Sorry about that! Hey, it's been a whole bunch of episodes since something wonky like this happens, we promise we'll make it up to you next week *nervous shrug*. We talk about Need For Speed Most Wanted's new remaster, Peter Parker's new makeover, Cyberpunk 2077 going gold and Miguel does a round of "Buy It At Launch Or Not". I dunno, he put us on the spot, we didn't really have a name for it. Enjoy!

What a week! We start off this week's episode by recapping the lovely time everyone had trying to preorder their choice of next gen consoles and then get into the implications and immediate reactions to the news of Microsoft purchasing Zenimax. We discuss a lot of topics including the price point for next gen storage, Sony's decision not to give Spider-Man 2018 a free PS5 upgrade and more! Anthony and Jeff also give their thoughts on Super Mario 3D All Stars & Supergiant's Hades which both released for Nintendo Switch this past week! Don't forget to tell your friends about us! :P

Ahhhhhhhhh! It's finally here, the official price and release date for the PlayStation 5! We get into a good discussion about what Sony showed today at the PS5 showcase and more!

All three of us have beaten the proper campaign of Marvel's Avengers and we kicked off the show with our thoughts (no spoilers!) on what we think of it! We also get into some exciting Mario news for you Nintendo fans, talk about the recently released free to play game Spellbreak and Anthony gives his thoughts on the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 (which is a remake, even if the title doesn't say so). Black Ops multiplayer next week!
