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 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!

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.

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.

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?

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!
