Episode 304 - Warhammer 40K: Space Marines 2 Delayed


In this Episode of PS THIS IS AWESOME, hosts Fred Oakman and Jake Peters kick off with their gaming experiences, featuring Fred's adventures in Spider-Man 2 and Jake’s in Alan Wake 2. 

We delve into noteworthy news, including the physical release of "Pacific Drive,", and the intriguing decision by Sony to track PS Portal as a "console." Former Rockstar Games technical director, Obbe Vermeij, faces controversy over his blog discussing old Rockstar titles. Bonnie Jean Mah, former Gears of War Narrative Director, joins Sony Santa Monica Studios. However, the unfortunate delay of Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 takes center stage, as it is now slated for the second half of 2024.

In new game releases, titles like Steamworld Build, Calico, Roots of Pacha, and Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All 2 are discussed, offering listeners a glimpse into the upcoming gaming landscape.


We close the episode with the latest on industry moves, as the director of Returnal, Harry Krueger, departs from Housemarque. Stay tuned for more updates in the dynamic world of PlayStation gaming.
