Hey there! So, here we go again. Sid and Tim are chatting it up this week. And honestly, it’s kinda wild how System Shock 2 laid the groundwork for like, gaming evolution—or maybe revolution? Something big. Anyway—and then they ramble (as they do) about what they caught at the Game Fest of Summer 2025. Honestly, wish I’d been there. Maybe next year?
Okay, so, on to what’s in the spotlight next week:
– We’ve got Ruffy And The Riverside ready for PS5. Curious about that one.
– System Shock 2’s getting a shiny 25th Anniversary Remaster on both PS5 and PS4. Feeling nostalgic already.
– There’s also Black Desert hitting PS5. Ever tried it? It’s an experience, for sure.
– And don’t miss Death Stranding 2: On The Beach for PS5. Kojima’s always pulling us into these, uh, unique worlds.
Oh, and a quick heads-up—PS Store has some Mid-Year Deals going on. Like, until July 2 or something. Could save you up to 70% on some titles. If you’re into that sorta thing.
What else? Right, Ghost of Yōtei. Apparently, Sucker Punch took a little trip to Hokkaido (spoiler alert: that’s in Japan, by the way) and they’re diving into some ancient foraging skills. Why? No idea, but sounds intriguing.
Then there’s Climate Station. This one’s a blend of gaming and science (for your PS5 and PS VR2 fans out there). Somehow, they’ve turned decades of climate data into a story you can interact with? Confusing, yet fascinating.
Who’s chatting? Oh yeah—our usual hosts:
– Sid Shuman, the Senior Director of Content Comms with a penchant for geeky deep dives.
– Tim Turi, who wrangles Content Communications and, I guess, vibes well with Sid.
Oh gosh, before I forget—big shoutout to Dormilón for the killer theme song. Feels like it should be noted, you know? It’s just that good.
One last thing (swear it’s the last, promise)—Keep an eye on those release dates. They love to do the ol’ switcheroo. Blame it on the publishers or maybe the ESRB. Depends on who you ask, I guess. Anyway, that’s a wrap for this round. See ya!
