Sony ran an all-timer of a State of Play last week, so we spend a bunch of time digging into a bunch of news and demos about God of War Trilogy Remake, Control Resonant, and Konami's impressive bundle of Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear games. Also, games like God of War: Sons of Sparta, Menace, Heart of the Forest, and Avowed on PS5. Also, Vinny's questionable encounter at the Outback Steakhouse. Sounds like a podcast, alright!

All timer is a bit much

Joseph Tavano

[ obligatory "you must be fun at parties" smarmy comment ]

Asadasa

thank you

Robert Gomez

Compared to their previous shows I guess?

Robert Gomez

I'm Hispanic and I think I did find the joke funny but the set up really helped.

csl316

Yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Asadasa

That’s fair and most likely how it’s meant; but compared to the ff7/shenmue 3/last guardian show I don’t really think it rates. It was a good show but nothing really memorable about it; I don’t think people are going to be talking about it for years to come.

If you bought Avowed on Xbox/PC and are choosing to buy it again on PS5, I must assume you are either in games media or a crazy person.

Brian Streleckis

I definitely remember off-screen sex mini-games from the original God of War Trilogy, but other than that, it was a lot of ultra-violent stuff perpetrated by an angry Kratos focused squarely on revenge on Aries and all the other Greek Gods. He's a serious dude, former Spartan general and all, but in God of War 3 he's not above gauging Poseidon's eyes and caving in Hercules' face.

WulfBane

Well you could have played it originally via Xbox Gamepass last year, have since canceled your subscription, and are looking to purchase a version for the first time that isn't tied to a subscription. I occasionally look at games I had played before via Gamepass that I wonder if I should buy the Xbox version to let me resume my progress or go to the Steam or PS5 versions with fresh saves. But also for a single player game I do agree that I wouldn't have expected platform cross progression.

Pantalones Johnson

I thought they already did Hellraiser 1 on a watchcast in the past.....

Asadasa

See above; but for the most part no, these things are transient and have no retention after watching.

WulfBane

You're probably thinking of when Giantbomb did Hellraiser 1 as a Film & 40s in 2022

Pantalones Johnson

You might be right… maybe they talked about it on a ramble cast, I feel like the topic has come up before and they discussed parts of the plot, IIRC Alex explained the meaning or story behind Jesus wept. My memory is terrible lol

Blacklab

The old Outback in Marin City is now a Brazilian steakhouse.

You’ve got to try Doritos with fresh mozzarella it’s the best

Tom DiGrazia

Zapps Voodoo chips are my favorite to pair with sandwiches. It is a powerful flavor profile but one that always rips, and therefore is welcome regardless.

Vincent Aguilar

I’m Mexican and am crying laughing because Vinny’s confusion (AND THE SITUATION AROUND HOW/WHEN/WHERE THE JOKE WAS TOLD) is so much funnier than the joke itself Tbh i only barely “get” it, if at all , and would be similarly stymied if someone told that joke to me (and i would dwell on it for way too long)

Nathan

Definitely sold on more horror.

Raymond

I wouldn't mind if they took out the sex mini games from God of War, a lot of them just broke immersion for me. Like a city is under attack by monsters, unless Kratos is an extremely quick shot I don't think he has time to have foursome right now.

Stephen Lamb

Maui Onion is a great foil for salt & vinegar chips.
