Triangle Squared: A Playstation Podcast

A recent survey of 8000 people determined that what the vast majority of people want from the next-generation of gaming consoles (PS5 & Xbox Series X) is simply better graphics. With the addition of SSD drives and the potential for 60fps being the standard, it would seem there is more to gain than simply better graphics. We discuss our thoughts and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A P...

With next-gen consoles on the horizon, Sony and Microsoft are showing just how different their strategies are. In an interesting yet unsurprising move, Microsoft is coming back to their idea of forwards compatibility with the announcement that all Xbox Series X games throughout the consoles first year will also be playable on all Xbox One family of consoles. On the other hand PlayStation has annou...

It's a new year, and 2020 is bringing with it a killer send off to the current generation of consoles ahead of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Games like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 are all present and that is just the first half of the year. Looking ahead, what games will we see, what games will we love, and what might happen in the gaming industry at large? We s...

Sony announced a new State of Play just before The Game Awards kick off later this week. With Resident Evil 3's accidental leak, Minecraft Bedrock Edition for PS4 being seen at retailers and confirming cross-play for the game, and Kingdom Hearts ReMIND DLC trailer being released early on accident, is there anything that Sony can show at State of Play that hasn't already been leaked outside...

Sony's recent patent for the PS5 Controller (we're calling Dualshock 5 for now) shows a controller mostly in tact with the Dualshock 4 with the exception of the lack of a light bar moving forward. For traditional PS4 backwards compatibility, this offers no issues but Sony's assertion that PSVR will be fully backward's compatible with PS5 leaves questions on how that's accomplis...

While PlayStation has taken a backseat on trade shows and events like PSX, Xbox has doubled down on strong showings at the trade shows and their recent XO19 was no exception.

Death Stranding has long been speculated to go to PC, but this last week we got confirmation that it was indeed happening. With this announcement, some Sony first party developers expressed interest in having their games play on PC like we've seen happen with games like Journey, Detroit: Become Human and a few others, which begs the question: Will PlayStation ever move to releasing all of thei...

Fallout 76 recently announced a subscription service in the way of Fallout 1st, aiming to bring players who opt in private worlds, unlimited craft material storage, and more. The service's existence was already being criticized before it was discovered that many features didn't even work as intended.

This week saw the hammer fall down on WWE 2K20 for it's huge graphical issues in a AAA release in 2019. The story mode features graphics that are close to on par with PS2, and writing and motion capture just as behind the times. We have to ask ourselves, should we expect more with the power these consoles give us, or should every game not have to adhere to that standard? Join us on Triangle Sq...

PlayStation has been a little less prevalent in the news cycle this past year than the rest of the generation and while late in the generation with PS5 about a year away, it still feels more quiet than the PS3 leading into the PS4. Is this a sign of Sony slowing down too much, being silent on the remaining games for the PS4, or moving their resources to the PS5 when many feel the PS4 could use jus...

As we get older, we value the time we have to do things like gaming even more and often are more critical when we feel games waste that time, or yearn for more of a certain experience. To that end, community member Josh suggested a great topic with a simple question. What games could be stand to be shorter and which would you have liked to be longer?
