2021-01-13 20:49:23 +0000 UTCThat would be nice! I love both.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-13 20:49:18 +0000 UTCI never get my questions in 😭😭
Kyle Melendez
2021-01-12 08:19:41 +0000 UTCI want Returnal to do well too. Although, a new Stardust or Resogun would be awesome.

2021-01-11 10:30:43 +0000 UTC@Anis if they remake the game, I’ll gladly buy and platinum the game again. It’s one of my favorite games of all time. I’ll be hyped.
D'Ante Almo
2021-01-09 16:53:47 +0000 UTCI think bluepoint will remake it like demon's souls, it's already been 5 years, enough for a 4K & 60 fps & RT remake.
Anis
2021-01-09 07:51:02 +0000 UTCIt's been five years. It's okay to let go.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-08 03:21:18 +0000 UTCIf Ori games came to PS4 and PS5, that would be a big deal.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-08 03:21:07 +0000 UTCI was really hoping for a 60 FPS patch for bloodborne but I couldn’t wait any longer and just platinum the game a few days ago.
D'Ante Almo
2021-01-08 00:16:31 +0000 UTC- Both Ori games come to PS4/PS5. - Infamous & Resistance Collections announced. Ratchet & Sly Collections release next year. - Horizon 2 in June. God of War: Ragnarok in November.
Brandon Soto
2021-01-07 06:42:18 +0000 UTCWhat?
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-07 03:18:59 +0000 UTCHe said the regular show will be video. Not SS+.
Daniel Boyer
2021-01-07 00:49:15 +0000 UTCI dunno why Microsoft would want 'em, other than to stick it to Sony. Which is a possibility.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-06 22:26:09 +0000 UTCIt's not quite that simple. It's several more button prompts. I'd personally like to see it a bit more straight-forward.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-06 22:25:49 +0000 UTCI think it has to go first-person if it wants to compete with Siege!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-06 22:25:24 +0000 UTCOr maybe I do...
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-06 22:25:12 +0000 UTCThat would be fun. There's actually a wealth of footage that used to be in making-of shit on PSone and especially PS2 games that they could resurface, too.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-06 22:25:06 +0000 UTCWhat?
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-06 22:24:44 +0000 UTCThink its a joke how you started off as a PlayStation podcast which we've supported you over the years but xbox is the first to get videos, is all this because you dont wanna be on video colin??
Zack Fair
2021-01-06 21:35:40 +0000 UTCBluepoint will be bought eventually but by Sony isn’t something I’d say I’m confident on. Could see Xbox swooping in and outbidding everybody. I don’t think Sony needs a shooter because they keep paying for the COD timed deal every year. It’s funny you mention where are the GTA clones...I think we’ll see the new Saint’s Row soon. Correction: Sam Houser is still in charge at Rockstar. Dan Houser left but Sam remains. To your point about the TV connection, Game Pass Ultimate now gives you a free trial of Disney+. PS+ should give you a free trial of Crunchyroll or something.

2021-01-06 13:57:46 +0000 UTCRegarding the UI, couldn't agree more on the Trophy menu, but think you guys are really exaggerating about the Power Menu - I just tap the home button, scroll over to power, choose Rest or Shut Down. Feels about the same level of effort to me, not sure if I'm missing something? That said, really appreciate all the content churned out over the holidays; being able to engage in PS5 UI pedantry is a great way to ease back into work!
Allan Sweeney
2021-01-06 12:32:24 +0000 UTCNoooooo, don't do this to me Colin. 1st person Socom sounds like an awful idea. The name carries almost no weight outside of a rabid but small fanbase who would be up in arms if it wasn't 3rd person. Sony would be better off doing a new IP. There's a serious lack of good 3rd person online shooters also whereas the FPS marker is oversaturated.

2021-01-06 09:58:27 +0000 UTCColin you dont want to start the P5 plat. Took me more than 200 hours
Kain
2021-01-06 02:34:04 +0000 UTCAbout Colin's prediction about Sony publishing more TV/Movies for PS Now, what if they instead published documentaries on the development of certain games? They did this already with God of War and the first Last of Us. They also uploaded series about the history of CD Project Red. I think this would be a much safer endeavor and would gain interest from their core audience. As always, great podcast!
Frank
2021-01-06 01:31:38 +0000 UTCColin, how’s that Persona 5 playthrough going?
Brandon Soto
2021-01-05 23:48:12 +0000 UTCI'm worried, too, but just because of its price. $50 is the new $40, so that would be fine. Better, anyway.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 23:43:14 +0000 UTCDespite being developed by CLS beloved Housemarque, I worry Returnal will bomb. The name is horrible and the art direction is bland. Hope it does well, but it really has nothing going for it that stands out.
Douglas Morreale
2021-01-05 23:35:43 +0000 UTCI mean... I'm not underestimating it! Thank you for your kind words. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 23:29:56 +0000 UTCI think people greatly underestimate how well Red Dead Redemption 2 sold, it may have not hit the heights of GTA 5, but it is still the 13th highest selling game of all time. I’m only mentioning this because whenever the game is mentioned there seems to be a feeling that it underperformed but it’s Rockstar’s 2nd highest selling game and on fewer platforms than GTA 5 currently exists on. Fantastic episode, the future of Last Stand Media is looking bright and each release is a highlight of my week. Proud to be a Patron and will be sticking around as long as you’re making content!

2021-01-05 21:52:40 +0000 UTCLet's not get carried away.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 21:52:23 +0000 UTCSure, that can also be a thing.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 21:52:16 +0000 UTC=)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 21:51:53 +0000 UTCI thought it looked great in '17.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 21:51:50 +0000 UTCI don't think anyone seriously thinks Bully is coming back.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 21:51:43 +0000 UTCWhen Colin makes a whole prediction based on a video you made about PS Productions...https://youtu.be/4G5F88r5Ng8 Lmao only kidding I know your the PS GOAT, great episode this week.

2021-01-05 21:40:29 +0000 UTC2 hours of joy
Adamthm
2021-01-05 20:43:40 +0000 UTCDoesn't it make more sense to add Sony movie/tv and anime to PSnow. By having it on PSnow it makes accessible to non Playstation owners. And also might attract non gamers to gaming.
BM
2021-01-05 19:41:10 +0000 UTCComing from primarily being an Xbox player, I really like the polish of the PS5 UI but there are some really weird design choices such and parties and trophies. I still prefer it to the PS4 overall though.
Justin Stephens
2021-01-05 18:59:31 +0000 UTCI'm happy to hear I'm not the only one bothered by the UI. Specifically the trophies. It's just terrible. Been wanting to platinum astrobot but I haven't gotten back to it because I've been dreading using the trophy menus
Vinny Pepperoni
2021-01-05 18:53:13 +0000 UTCLet’s Fn go!!!!
Francisco Covarrubias
2021-01-05 18:38:57 +0000 UTCBloodborne is not gorgeous anymore. I tried playing it when I got my PS4 Pro and I thought it looked old. The frame rate issues made it even more lackluster.
Jake Z
2021-01-05 18:24:08 +0000 UTCI like Bully more then GTA5 also, but there's no way that a new Bully game gets more hype behind it then GTA6. The gaming world is going to explode when GTA6 is announced.
Miles Williams
2021-01-05 18:19:55 +0000 UTCPlease do.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 18:15:10 +0000 UTCWe're trying over here.

Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 18:14:52 +0000 UTCLand of the free Home of the brave. 😑😑😑😑
Andrew Christensen
2021-01-05 17:33:28 +0000 UTCI'm very excited for this. I was working and missed the cutoff for submission. Oh well, I'll just enjoy!

2021-01-05 17:19:10 +0000 UTCSS+ will remain audio-only. Sacred Symbols will be on video each week, and you'll see how that rolls out on Friday. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 17:18:16 +0000 UTCHow do I watch the video form podcast, if that’s even available yet?
