Uncharted has yet to hit most theaters and the rumors of another PS movie are churning. Tom Holland and the director for Uncharted apparently are looking into a Jak & Daxter film.... We share our thoughts on this, PlayStation censoring Martha is Dead and how controversy can sometimes help games, Platinum Games' saying they want to change how they make their games and what that could mean for their future output, and get the community's input on what they'd like to see from PlayStation's Live Service games!

Hot off the heels of Microsoft's announcement of acquiring Activision, PlayStation buys Bungie, the creator and developer of Halo and Destiny: 2 games that have pioneered and shaped the multiplayer landscape through gaming's long history. Sony looks to use Bungie's experience and technology to help their internal teams better understand how to make a successful Games as a Service as PlayStation aims to push out 10 live service games in the next 4-5 years. We share our thoughts on this, pitch our ideas for live service games that we think would fit PlayStation, talk Grand Theft Auto V's continued legacy on next-gen consoles, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League's delay, Gran Turismo 7 and why the series will never take the Forza Horizon route, the continued production issues hitting PS5 and more!

A lot of changes in the industry as of late have led the guys to talk about what we want from PlayStation in the next 5 years in terms of games, services, diversity, and use of IP. We share our thoughts on that alongside the PS Plus games for February causing a stir in the online gaming sphere, Horizon: Forbidden West's gameplay showing what we can expect from cross-gen performance out of Sony's first party, Capcom's record profits in yet another year, Crysis 4 proving the GeForce Now leak accurate, and Call of Duty's future on PlayStation.

Not even 2 years ago, Microsoft made waves in the gaming industry by revealing they were acquiring Zenimax, becoming the first time a large scale publisher had been purchased by a hardware manufacturer in the gaming industry for an earth shattering 7.5 billion. Now, Microsoft is making bigger waves with the announcement of acquiring Activision/Blizzard for a much larger and unprecedented 68.7 billion. What does this mean for the games industry? Can Sony respond, or do they even need to? What constitutes a monopoly? We discuss our thoughts on all this and more on this week's Triangle Squared: A PlayStation Podcast!

2021 brought with it a number of exciting games and a few looks at what next-gen only games could look like in a time of cross-generational games being more prevalent. Despite being a seemingly weaker year than many that have come before it, we share our favorite games we played that released in 2021 and share our reasons why we believe they are special! Before getting into that though, we look at Sony's push for PSVR2, the seemingly close remake of The Last of Us, Twisted Metal's rumored new game continuing life in a new studio, and the potential of PS3 backwards compatibility alongside PS1/PS2/PSP hitting PS5 alongside the rumored tiered service, codenamed Spartacus.

Now that 2021 is over and brought with it a ton of implications for the games industry, we share our thoughts on games we are excited for in 2022! Ranging from big AAA hits like Horizon: Forbidden West and Dying Light 2, to AA games like A Plague Tale: Requiem and Deep Rock Galactic, all the way to indie titles such as Tunic and Sons of the Forest. We share our thoughts on these titles, why they excite us, and what we hope they bring us in 2022, while covering the January PS Plus titles, Remedy's free-to-play shooter with Tencent, Final Fantasy XVI (16)'s delay and more!

Off the back of The Game Awards, Chris asks a question about the way the industry looks at a year in games, while offering up a way to change the conversation around "Game of the Year" and what that should really mean. We share our thoughts on how we define Game of the Year, chat about asymmetric multiplayer in the wake of Illfonic's leaked Ghostbuster's MP game, look at market saturation for things like Battle Royale's and what keeps company's trying to tap into that market (mostly unsuccessfully), Ubisoft remaking the original Splinter Cell with the Far Cry 6 team, and of course Sony finally bringing swappable faceplates or "Console Covers" after a year of PS5 being on the market.

The Game Awards have come and gone in all their splendor, and have left us with a handful of awards and reveals to discuss, on top of the question of the value of The Game Awards in its current state. From big reveals like Star Wars: Eclipse, to updates on games like Horizon: Forbidden West, we shae our thoughts on all the show had to offer and extend the question to the Community to see what they thought of the show!

The Game Awards are around the corner, and while we often criticize their lack of focus on rewards, that does at least mean we often get juicy game reveals, so we share our thoughts on what we predict to see at the show and get into talks of the reported tiered PlayStation subscription service that MIGHT aim to be more of an answer for Game Pass than their current offering, but might also be something entirely different. We talk this, Battlefield going back to focusing on story, Godfall's PS Plus version not being the full game, and more while getting the community's thoughts on Game Pass's impact on Game Design.

Since Game Pass started to rise, there have been many who have claimed it will make those games laden with pricey microtransactions. While the game is F2P, Halo: Infinite's MP looks like the fear many had worried about put into action, but is this actually Microsoft showing their changing colors, or the impact of F2P game design coming down on their top franchises. Will games like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 face such issues, or will Game Pass not affect game design for titles intended to hit it day 1 moving forward. We share our thoughts on this, PlayStation's odd mobile gaming controller patent, the rumored PS Plus games for December including Godfall, a new Marvel MMO in the works at DC Universe Online's developer and more!

Call of Duty: Vanguard has seen a significant drop in sales from last year's outing, specifically in the UK, but it's easy not farfetched to think that drop is happening in other territories. Is this simply Call of Duty fatigue, better competition from other games this year, or is this indicative of troubles within Activision bleeding in and affecting products and reception to them? We share our thoughts on this, as well as ponder what games might have been snubbed from nomination for Game of the Year at this year's The Game Awards, share our thoughts on WB's worst kept secret in the Free to Play platform fighter "Metaversus", and more!

Elden Ring manages brings back around to the forefront the long-running conversation around difficulty and how it does or does not tie into accessibility. Often we hear the arguments about an "artists vision" put up against the argument that when creating, you should account for every possible person who might want to play it. Today, we look at the topic through the question of whether art should be able to be made selfishly, or if it is inherently meant to be put out for others to experience therefore pushing it to account for everyone. We share our thoughts on this, look at the community's feelings of the idea of "Voting With Your Wallet", if Spider-Man coming to Avenger's can move the needle, Metal Gear Solid bringing forth questions of licensing and digital ownership rights, PS5 celebrating it's birthday while simultaneously becoming harder to attain and more!

In an industry where many dislike the push towards microtransactions, games as a service, or fear that story driven games will eventually go away, a game like Guardians of the Galaxy comes along and the question arises: Do gamers have a duty to vote with their wallet and take chances buying games that claim to be the opposite to these issues? We share our thoughts on this, Skyrim releasing for the 20th time with Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, Square-Enix sharing their disappointment with Marvel's Avengers and the lessons they learned from it, the new 15 minutes of gameplay for Elden Ring and the changes it brings to From Software games and more!

Sony confirms PS5 sales that impress, with 13.4 million units being sold as of September 2021, and seemingly move towards doubling down on PC with the new PlayStation PC label. We share our thoughts on this, WBs reported cross-over brawler "Multiversus", how well PS Plus is doing since the PS5 launch, PlayStation's recent third-party focused State of Play, and the community has some fun giving us some fake gaming leaks to react to!

Not far off the back of the Uncharted PC reveal, God of War (2018) joins PlayStation's PC Catalog to show that Sony meant business when they said more PlayStation exclusives would eventually make their way to the platform. We share our thoughts on this, how long we think games will stay truly "exclusive" on PlayStation moving forward, Ubisoft reportedly developing a new Splinter Cell, the delay of Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3 next-gen versions, and Sol shares an odd "leak" experience he had on Reddit that claims Bluepoint is working on a new Jak & Daxter game?

The Washington Post recently put out an article postulating that the modern review process is flawed. Tight deadlines, unnatural pacing of play-time, playing broken builds and more beg the question: Does game review culture need to change? Or is there some value to it's current form? We share our thoughts on this, Elden Ring's leaked gameplay, the new trailers for Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad from DC Fandome, dBrand getting legal action taken against them by Sony, and Brett and Chris's early hours dissapointment with Far Cry 6.

Jim Ryan has a history of off-putting or odd remarks that make the PlayStation fan-base question him, but his recent fireside chat with Gamesindustry.biz brings us an interesting new remark that COULD have an impact on Sony's console strategy and brings forth the question: Is PlayStation's Near Future Off Consoles? We share our thoughts on this, what it means to "believe in generations", Rockstar seemingly bringing a whole bunch of Grand Theft Auto this year to be replayed, what makes Death Stranding so compelling, and what "big" PlayStation game could be getting a remake revealed during the end of the year!

Bluepoint Games was finally announced as acquired by PlayStation, and with it we got a hint that they are working on "original content" as their next game, but does that necessarily mean New IP, or could Sony tap them to create follow-ups to beloved PlayStation games of the past? We talk this, how Twisted Metal might look in the modern gaming space, Konami's reported return to premium console development with new Castlevania & the Metal Gear Solid remake we weren't expecting, and more!
