PlayStation in TROUBLE? (Wolverine Reviews, Xbox Steals Kojima, Fairgame$ Leaks)
What is going on at PlayStation right now? From underwhelming Marvel's Wolverine reviews to Xbox officially stealing Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT, Sony is having a disastrous week. Plus, we react to the leaked gameplay of Haven Studios' FAIRGAME$ (Project Espresso) and ask: Is the PS5 live-service pivot ruining Sony’s legacy? In today's live stream, we break down the current state of PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment. First, the review embargo for Marvel's Wolverine on PS5 has dropped, and scores are surprisingly mixed, sitting in the high-70s with critics calling the gameplay repetitive and dated. We discuss what this means for Insomniac Games and the future of PlayStation's single-player exclusives. Next, in a massive industry shakeup, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed that Microsoft is stepping in to publish Hideo Kojima's upcoming action-espionage game, PHYSINT, after PlayStation abruptly pulled out of the deal. We analyze the fallout of Sony losing the Metal Gear Solid creator to their biggest rival. Finally, closed playtest footage for FAIRGAME$ (currently operating under the codename Project Espresso or Break In) has leaked online. We react to the Haven Studios extraction shooter gameplay and discuss why Sony's massive push into live-service multiplayer games continues to look incredibly uninspired. #PlayStation #PS5 #MarvelsWolverine #Kojima #Xbox #GamingNews
