Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

Brett has fallen down a mine shaft, totally on his own—nothing to see here. Anyway, Chris has taken over the hosting chair while Brett is down there-approximately one week. Chris is joined by the ghost of Blake Pobst for an episode about Retro Games, yes the PS3 is retro, some news, some questions, and then movies! Thanks for your support!

This week, we talk Uncharted's movie sequel being confirmed in development, Embracer Group closing another studio after the less than strong performance of Alone in the Dark, how Far Cry 3 influenced other games and how it itself has aged, and get to the bottom of whether coffee is technically soup...?

This week sees updates from Microsoft on how well their games have been performing on PlayStation, and points to a readiness from Microsoft to “meet players where they are”, Kingdom Hearts 4 is rumored to be Square Enix's big 2025 release in a time where their slate seems otherwise dry from a AAA standpoint, and Bloober Team says Silent Hill 2 is an important game to prove them as a studio. We share our thoughts on all this, as well as look at the Community's thoughts on what constitutes “False Advertisement” to them, and explore whether Sony dismissing Days Gone is nearing their lack of confidence in Demon's Souls that came back to haunt them! Join us on this week's episode of Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

Fallout's continued success as a show and the renewing for a second season has fans wondering if other Bethesda titles could see an adaptation like The Elder Scrolls, Sony decides to end support for LittleBigPlanet 3 servers as they worked to fix some issues that had arisen, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is getting a sequel that aims to further dig into its unique take on Medieval simulation, and Sony seems like they MIGHT be loosening their grip on censorship as Stellar Blade announces it will be uncensored across all regions. We share our thoughts on all this and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!
