Description

Button Mash becomes Bot-ton Mash as Ben, Jess, and Steve celebrate the release of near-perfect PlayStation platformer ‘Astro Bot’ and explain why the game is both a bold leap forward and a relic of an earlier era. Then they break down what the record sales success of ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ and the flop of ‘Concord’ (49:00 ) say about the industry, assess their appetites for the PS5 Pro and mid-generation console upgrades (1:09:55 ), and share takeaways from several trailers for upcoming video game movies and TV shows (1:15:25 ), before finishing with a fond farewell to the late, great James Earl Jones (1:32:00 ).


Host: Ben Lindbergh

Guests: Jess Clemons and Steve Ahlman
