The Game Awards 2023 Breakdown and GTA VI Trailer Reaction

Episode 306 - The Game Awards 2023 Breakdown and GTA VI Trailer Reaction

Hey gaming crew! Fred and Jake here, spilling the tea on our recent exploits. Fred bagged that not-so-elusive Platinum in Spider-Man 2 and is gearing up for RE4 VR2, while Jake's navigating the cosmic journey of Star Ocean Second Story R and cracking the mysteries of Alan Wake 2. 

So, the GTA VI Trailer dropped, and we've got thoughts on everything from the setting, song, graphics, vibe, to the anticipated release window.

Now, onto the headline act - the aftermath of The Game Awards: In the midst of all the excitement, Monster Hunter Wilds is prowling onto PS5 in 2025, and Team Ninja's exclusive PS5 title, Rise of the Ronin, is bringing Ghost of Tsushima vibes with a dash of action-oriented combat - mark your calendars for its arrival in 3/2024. And hold onto your controllers, folks, because God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla surprises us with a Rogue-Like Free DLC dropping post-main game story on PS5.

But that's not all! The gaming landscape is buzzing with new titles like Black Myth Wukong, Visions of Mana, Jurassic Park: Survival, and more. Now, onto some additional tidbits:

There was a bit of a stir with random PSN Account Bans. SONY did a bit of backpedaling without giving us the lowdown on what happened. Bungie's staff is on edge, fearing a potential "Sony Takeover" if certain revenue targets aren't met. Among Us takes a sudden plunge into VR2. Yep, you heard that right - a whole new dimension for the impostors among us. And guess what? TLOU 2 No Return Gameplay just hit the screens, offering a fresh perspective on the post-apocalyptic world.

Stay tuned, PlayStation aficionados, keep those controllers charged, and let's dive into the next gaming adventure!
