Alex and Tom S gather to discuss the surprising amount of PC news to emerge from this week’s PlayStation event, before moving on to the musical weaponry of roguelikelike shmup Beat Blast and the newly portable RPG with good teleportation, Divinity: Original Sin 2. Also discussed: progress in shmup Mushihimesama, ruining games with mods, a strange cat, and Keanu Reeves’ one good face.
- The Matrix Resurrections’ first trailer has Keanu doing his face.
- God Of War Ragnarok finally got a proper trailer and we love the look of Thor.
- Forspoken also got a new story trailer with a weird looking cat.
- Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake was also announced at PlayStation’s event, and it’s a ground-up remake.
- Grand Theft Auto 5 also got a PlayStation 5 trailer and it looks… the same.
- Alex has been playing twin-stick shooter Beat Blast, in which your weaponry works on a beat sequencer.
- Tom has been tinkering with shmups, too, his favourite being Mushihimesama. Alex has sung its praises on previous episodes.
- Divinity: Original Sin 2 recently launched on iPad, and even more recently got cross save with PC. Has Tom been playing it in the bath? He doesn’t say.
