Sony's first State of Play of 2024 brought over 40 minutes of updates on more than 15 games coming to PlayStation consoles, including Rise of The Ronin, Stellar Blade, Death Stranding 2, Sonic x Shadow Generations, and more. We discuss all the biggest announcements from the showcase, including our favorites and... not so favorites.
We'll also be talking about how Microsoft’s Xbox brand is now reporting record growth following last week's mass layoffs, how searches for "Suicide Squad refund" surged 791% following the game's early access launch disaster, and how Arzette, the love letter to the CD-i Zelda games, will also be reviving the console's awful controller.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Nostalgia 101 segment. This week, Ryan is sharing his favorites from the TGIF tv lineup.
