The PlayStation Report

So the new PS+ is launching in a little over a month and we still don't have a list of games we're gonna get with that. Sure, we could keep an eye on leaks of ratings boards but Sony really should just tell us what's up. Kinda silly that a lot of people are "getting one over" on Sony by converting PS Now subs to whatever the new tier of PS+ that translates to without knowing what they'll get. Now...

Frank went for a Spa day...well multiple days at Spa trying to get his gold Super License. Tyler is having to reckon with the impending existence of the possibility that Kingdom Hearts 4 might come out during his lifetime. Last but not least, we have to talk about the evil California governor, Gavin Newsom. Now Playing: Tyler - Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West Frank - Gran Turismo 7 Contact...

The lads have finally finished It Takes Two, a game that fluctuates wildly between "good game" and "uncultured trash." Needless to say, it isn't what we would have called GOTY 2021.

What is the ideal video game map? This question has been answered a number of ways but we decided to dive into the discussion with a few games that do open-world maps very differently.

Sony is buying Bungie but at the same time are allowing them to remain independent which begs the question, what did Sony buy?

Will 2022 be "normal?" Will Bobby Kotick still have a job at the end of it? I don't think the answers to these questions can be different.

Sometimes ya just gotta call it quits! Sometimes, the business idea you had sucked shit and you have to simply not do that thing. Some companies don't have this sense. Don't be like Ubisoft.

Yes, the scare quotes are intentional. I can't believe what we've all witnessed. An utter bastardization of the ceremony. The evils of advertising laid bare. Yet, we'll probably do it even worse next year.

Somehow Bobby Kotick still has a job. For some reason, Geoff Keighley is being a coward. I think that reason is money. Fuck money.

It would be great to not have to worry about anything and just live on the mountain of cash I've squeezed out of others with very little effort. It seems like that's never the case, though.

How is it that one of the biggest video game publishers is run by a literal cartoon villain? Oh right, capitalism rewards the worst of the worst as long as the money keeps flowing. What if we just turn the money faucet off? Unfortunately platform holders are cowards and that won't happen. It really does seem like there won't be consequences for yet another rich man.

It seems like every game nowadays has some kinda map. Whether that be a huge map full of empty spaces and a checklist of icons (Ubisoft) or the latest capitalist craze in gaming, live service roadmaps. Like it or not, it seems like maps are here to stay.
