PS This is Awesome: Episode 364
Fred went old-school this week, beating Contra and Super C on NES, then diving into The 7th Guest VR, which he’s loving. He also picked up Arizona Sunshine Remake for some VR zombie action. Meanwhile, Jake has been juggling Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black Remaster, Eternal Strands, and Warhammer 40K: Boltgun.
In the news, Sony is offering 5 extra days of PS Plus to compensate for last weekend’s PSN outage. There’s also a rumored State of Play coming this week—could we finally get some big announcements?
In what could’ve been an alternate timeline, Resistance 4 was once pitched to Sony by Insomniac but was ultimately rejected, despite the developers believing in the concept. On the flip side, Rocksteady is returning to Batman after the underwhelming response to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
The Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake may have had its release date leaked on PSN, pointing to an August 28, 2025 launch. Meanwhile, Sumo Digital has canceled its new IP to focus on supporting external game development.
In a bizarre headline, Treyarch’s co-founder, Peter Akemann, made news for illegally flying a drone into a firefighting aircraft during the California wildfires. He avoided jail time but will pay $65K in restitution and serve 150 hours of community service assisting fire relief efforts.
Plenty to discuss, so let’s get into it!
