Sony stepped into some controversy with Horizon: Forbidden West as pre-orders came with the revelation that Horizon didn't offer the same $10 upgrade path from PS4 to PS5 that Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding's Directors Cuts offered, nor the free upgrade announced back alongside Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Fans took to social media and finally Sony went back on their decision, and instead clarified that moving forward all cross-gen games will offer a $10 upgrade path. We talk about this and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

Podcast by Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

Leisure

Fallout brings another video game adaptation to wow the critics and fans alike, and continues a surprisingly strong series of game cross media adaptations! Bethesda rides this hype wave by bringing Fallout 4 to current-gen consoles with a host of improvements, Ubisoft gives Prince of Persia another new entry this year with a surprise Rogue-lite announcement, Vampire Survivors is finally crossing into the blue as it hits PS5 this Summer, and an ex-Xbox exec brings a unique but complicated idea to the table of the option to "tip" developers for games that you enjoy. We share our thoughts on all this and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

Star Wars: Outlaws Gets Dated, Battlefield Gets New Devs, & more! | Triangle Squared Ep. 347

This week in PlayStation, PS+ monthly games are revealed and available, 2 new games join PS+ Extra/Premium day of release, a State of Play or PlayStation Showcase might be prepping for May if we are to believe Jeff Grubb, and Jim Ryan says goodbye as he finishes his time at PlayStation and heads into retirement! We talk about all these, look into what we've been playing as always, check in on Phil Spencer's insights about how the new generations of gamers are changing the industry as he makes an argument that exclusivity will seemingly die out, and get asked if we'd use a time machine amidst a potential WW3? All this and more on this week's episode of Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

Jim Ryan's Swan Song, Rumored State of Play, PS+ & more! | Triangle Squared Ep. 346

This week saw specs for the ever rumored PS5 Pro leak, letting us have a look at what to expect from the mid-gen refresh, and how it may, or may not, help reach that evergreen goal of 4K/60fps in modern games. With that we have a talk around how much power matters and if it should, look at the PS+ Extra/Premium games coming to PS5 for subscribers this month, discuss EA hiring ex-PlayStation executive who oversaw their first party strategy for decades in an effort to help usher in their planned change toward great single player games with "Blockbuster storytelling", which stands in contrast to what many publishers have been announcing as Live-Service becomes ever more pervasive, and have a chat about what PlayStation's future could look like in the next decade or so within the context of the industry's recent shifts! All this and more on this week's episode of Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

EA Pushing for Blockbuster Storytelling, PS5 Pro Specs & more! | Triangle Squared Ep. 345

This week, Joe from The Trophy Room podcast joins me in Chris' stead to talk Deviation's closure and how that coupled with a seemingly canceled Spider-Man multiplayer game may point to how Sony is refining their approach to wading into the Live Service waters, PlayStation's handling of the Stellar Blade demo pointing a heavy hand towards the conversation of what a 'digital' future could entail, Sea of Thieves proving to be popular on PS5 as it tops pre-order charts, WB Games shuttering its Adult Swim Games label and delisting the games from them & more!
