Show notes
We're on the verge of the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, and yet new questions percolate about whether we'll ever see another game in Naughty Dog's vaunted series. In a recent interview, Neil Druckmann told fans "don't bet on there being more," which is both alluringly ominous and obviously vague. That's good news for us, though, since it gives us plenty to discuss. Do we need more? Do we want more? Should we get more? Plus: Rumors are ramping up about one-time Xbox titan Gears of War migrating to PlayStation 5 later this year, while details related to Firesprite's cancelled Twisted Metal project have leaked. Also: PlayStation 2 turns 25 years old in Japan, Until Dawn Remake studio Ballistic Moon goes belly-up, a key Bungie designer joins Guerrilla, Monster Hunter Wilds smashes Capcom sales records, and more. Finally: Listener inquiries! Is it possible that Grand Theft Auto VI fails to meet either critical or commercial expectations, or perhaps both? What are our reflections on PS5 Pro now that we've had our own for some months? Should Canadians stop buying games from American publishers and developers in retaliation of US tariffs? Will Colin ever forgive his brother for continuously referring to himself as "The Dagster"?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.Timestamps:0:00:00 - Intro0:14:43 - Get well soon Bishop!0:19:09 - Squeaking chair0:22:12 - 5 thing we achieved this past week0:30:45 - Last show's debauchery0:39:57 - "The Dagster"0:42:56 - Wonder Woman0:49:23 - Twin Breaker is now on PS5!0:51:32 - Terminator 2D: No Fate0:52:58 - Happy Birthday PS21:01:52 - Layoffs at PlayStation1:06:40 - Until Dawn Remake dev shut down1:15:19 - PS3 update1:17:21 - Variety's interview with Druckmann and Mazin1:23:43 - New TLoU controller1:25:46 - Cancelled Twisted Metal game details leak1:31:28 - Ex-Bungie designer joins Guerilla1:35:50 - Forza Horizon 5 releases April 29 on PS51:39:29 - Call of Duty 2025 will remain on PS41:44:32 - Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 is real1:49:35 - Monster Hunter Wilds sells 8 million1:50:21 - La Quimera1:54:56 - What Are We Playing?2:16:51 - Gears of War coming to PS52:33:53 - New India Hero Project games2:38:53 - PlayStation beta program2:45:28 - Acclaim is back2:57:56 - What if GTA VI disappoints?3:04:08 - Boycotting American games3:13:23 - PS5 Pro check in3:21:37 - Portal's lack of bluetooth3:26:31 - Auto popping trophies3:30:48 - Capcom and Mega Man Learn more about your ad choices.
