How the PS5 brings Lakeshore to life in Need for Speed Unbound
Celebrating 20 years of Ratchet & Clank
Final Fantasy XVI interview: worldbuilding, differing viewpoints and favorite characters
Share of the Week: Haunted
Total blog articles: 14. That's a couple more than last week's. One unrelated thing I want to rant about is how chronologically disorganized the PlayStation Blog is. I nearly missed the "11 new PSVR2" piece because it was sanctioned off to the right side in the "spotlighted" section, which is noticeably much less visible than the primary articles. Also, for some reason, the Ragnarok TV spot article was under the "trending topics" tab but not under the chronological section. It's a bit of a hassle for me who wants to find everything Sony published for the week. Oh well, rant over. Some cool articles here. Lots of really cool behind-the-scenes stuff with the Shuhei piece and the Ratchet and Clank anniversary piece has a ton of really cool information in it. We also got a nice interview from the FF16 article. Really solid week in terms of blog posts!
Anyway, this has been your weekly PlayStation Blog roundup! Thanks to JuanLatino for threadmarking these.

Jim gots to protect us children….
I guess in the future to even waste your time replying to folks you dont know.
I feel like the TV series/film will be about that, visualising the backstory and proving the fan theories right/wrong, giving more context to everything, flashing out characters, could be a pretty interesting approach. As long as it happens a few years later when all the theory discussion is already exhausted, then I think it's a pretty neat way to sustain the public discussion in the IP.
The tales (I think it's the name) that panned through multiple missions was great.
Others were very meh and I skipped most of them. I am also done with "clearing camp" in all open world games.
The lack of neutral NPC in the world kinda killed the immersion. I hope they will improve on that on the sequel.
Overall, the too old combo of : talk with someone, go to the place, find clues, then fight. That need to go. Not entirely of course but you can't do that for 50 "missions".
I actually quite liked the simplicity of the combat and how the difficulty is due to the type of weapons and attacks that enemies use. Clearing any enemy camp is never boring because of its style. I haven't felt the lack of enemy variety too. My only complaints with the game are bad stealth mechanics combined with dumb enemy AI, over repetition of fetch quests, hostage missions. I could already see some improvements in some of these in Iki island expansion. I hope the sequel radically improves stealth mechanics and quest design
Honestly I don't think it's as good as III. The GoW III Overture remains the most epic GoW main theme for me.
I with you. I was sold from the very first track in the 2018 game. That Gregorian chant or whatever is just so perfect for the game and for Kratos.
Had to go listen. And yea, this is fire too. Just a great series all around. I think they both OSTs are fantastic for the games they appear in.
I'm to the hype point of listening to soundtracks of the older games. Work next week is gonna be absolute torture.

Nope, collectible trophy means no plat for me. I'll probably grab the rest though.
I preferred the stealth over the combat lol. Found the simon says inspired combat pretty dull and boring and while the a.i. was super dumb wearing the ghost armour had cool effects on their behaviour. The whole fear angle was pretty well done and was consistently fun. At some point i didn't even try to stealth kill without being seen but making a dramatic entrance so enemies will see me and they start to flee in fear.
The way i describe stealth in Tsushima is if you were pretending to be an infamous character and your enemies don't know how to deal with this.
I just thought of something hilarious.
Stealth, in a God of War game.
Picture this:
Kratos, crouching and creeping up silently behind a troll.
Grabbing it by the neck and choking it out, while the troll stands less than 2 meters from its fellow troll, who is completely clueless.
Kratos whispering to the troll "shh, go to sleep".
The 2 trolls were previously discussing how a crazed bald man, with tatoos was running around killing their neighbors.
it sounds so hilariously stupid and yet, I can picture it clearly.

It's honestly mindblowingly stupid that a feature like this which would earn Sony money doesn't exist yet.
PS Store is already 15 years old and still doesn't have a gifting system. It's just dumb.
Finally managed to snag a PS5, bought directly through Playstation, hasn't shipped yet but they charged already. How reliable is the shipping? lol
I haven't heard about any shipping problems with the ps5 itself but they didn't do a good job with the Last of Us Part 1 Firefly editions.
Id be gifting people random Mega Man and Yakuza games if that were the case lol. It would be a great feature.
You are not wrong, even reading just GoWIII Overture I can hear the music.
On the other hand I can hear Faye's theme, the main theme and Deliverance.
McCreary is alone for Battlestar Galactica one of my favorites, that live performance in 2016 at E3 was just perfect.
Yup they know how important this pipeline is which is why they continue to heavily invest in this pipeline when you look at their recent moves:
-Expanding the size of both the Visual Arts team and the Malaysia Art & Animation Studio
-Acquired Valkyrie as a support studio
-They acquired Haven for their cloud based development tools to help streamline game development for PlayStation Studios
- The Bungie acquisition allows them to utilize their expertise in GAAS video games going forward
Yeah I'm baffled SONY still hasn't implemented this feature. It's my number 1 requested feature that I been waiting years for. You would think they would want this implemented as it is just literally easy money for their ecosystem.
If anyone wants to gift Ragnarok digitally you can look online if anybody sells their digital code for the game that will be coming with the upcoming PS5 bundle.
The few times I have used them I haven't had any problems in fact 1 time they even shipped my order 2 days early.
The reversible cover just like Game Informer, way cooler than the current box-art, but both facing the wrong way. 😅
According to Wikipedia, their trade name is Guerrilla Games but their official name is Guerrilla B.V. So I guess it can go either way
I'll take trials and difficulty trophies over 300 collectibles any day tbh. :p
Ordered mine a month ago through PS direct, no problem with shipping was one day later then expected but not a big issue.
Europe here
Late response but I agree. I don't blame the outlets though. I will also add that while having a good deal is always nice too much talk is about "value" and just not about the quality of games and hardware. Value is a subjective measure that is going to vary from person to person but so much time is spent arguing about if something is worth it's asking price or not.
Rumor: Insomniacl's Spider-Man will be in the new Spider-Verse movie. Doesn't say whether Yuri Lowenthal will voice him, but obviously quite likely.

Exclusive: Previous Spider-Men in 'Across the Spider-Verse'
Alex Perez reveals more about the next Spider-Verse installment, including new Spider-Man Variants set to appear in the animated sequel.

Also the codes you get for the game don't go live until release day so if you do happen to get the CE or Jotnar edition early from Target etc, you're still out of luck until Wednesday.
Suit is actually perfect for that animation style, hopefully true they have Yuri too, he became my favourite Spidey very fast with his performance.Rumor: Insomniacl's Spider-Man will be in the new Spider-Verse movie. Doesn't say whether Yuri Lowenthal will voice him, but obviously quite likely.

Id say it'd be pretty darn silly to include the Gameverse Spidey and not have Yuri voice him (he does such a darn good job anyway). Would be a cool inclusion (I was pulling for Capcom's Spidey myself lol) but I seem to recall the cast of Spidey's so far is really stellar (I'll be there purely for Miles, Gwen and Miguel).Rumor: Insomniacl's Spider-Man will be in the new Spider-Verse movie.
