It's Not the Length of the Game

In Episode 332 of "PS THIS IS AWESOME," Fred and Jake dive into the latest in PlayStation. Fred has been playing "Dave the Diver" after beating "Deliver Us Mars," while Jake finished "Stellar Blade" (which took 40 hours and he loved it) and has started up "Doom Eternal" again.

There are rumors that Sony is pulling back funding from the VR2 headset, and "AstroBot" was always intended for a major PS5 release, according to developer Nicolas Doucet. "Warhammer 40K Space Marines 2" has an extended gameplay overview video that looks amazing.

Former PlayStation Boss Sean Layden shared insights on the gaming industry's trend of creating bigger, more expensive games that many players don’t finish, suggesting a shift in focus towards game design rather than just realistic graphics.

The PS STARS Loyalty program is still offline since June 5th. Bandai Namco's summer showcase is set for July 5th with potential reveals including a new "Tales" game and something related to "Dragon Ball." Bluepoint Games is working on an original title, with rumors of an "Uncharted" remake circulating.
