It’s hard to stop a moving train, and when big corporations make meaningful decisions, the results occur over years, not days, weeks, or months. It’s clear now that Sony’s PSVR2 is stuck between a rock and a hard place — there’s simply no way Sony could have forecasted the last two and a half years of human history when this thing was being workshopped and greenlit — and with a high price, a bad economy, and a seeming dearth of actual games, well, PlayStation’s timing may be all wrong. Does PSVR2 have a real future? We discuss at length. Other news this week circulates around updated PS5 sales data and impressive numbers for 2018’s God of War, Microsoft’s 700th reiteration that Call of Duty will always remain on PlayStation, Electronic Arts’ new three game deal with Marvel, and much more. Listener inquiries round things out, per usual, touching on topics like a lacking creativity in PlayStation’s first party, why spoilers are so detrimental and wrong, and the potentially bright future of Mega Man. We also place a moratorium on a popular user-favorite term, because we need to mix things up a bit, and because we enjoy keeping you on your toes.

regarding cod on the disc, did anyone try to install it without it being connected online? The Disc usually has older code then what's available on the server so it's not that there's nothing on the disc it's just that it downloads the updated version from the server. There's a good chance if you throw the disc in when you're not connected you can install and play the unpatched version.
Boooo should’ve been Dallas
Re COD MW 2. Brings me back to my point I always make, never play these new games on launch. Unless you're a pro player, there really is no need. They launch in an awful state, and later get massive patches and often some nice features. Play day 1 and you get the worst version of the game.
The Chris guy is so bad. Everything he says sounds so overwrought.
Purchased shatter on your recommendation Colin, superb.
Very cool you’re coming to my city. Excited to attend in person. Bbq in Houston is legit. Also China town here is fire.
damn…Andor is really good (especially if Rogue One is your type of jam)…damn x2 I'm apart of the problem 😀
Why is God of War Ragnarok coming out on a Wednesday?
This new trend of releasing physical game boxes with nothing inside is gross. Luckily so far it's been crap games like Call of Duty and Halo infinite. But the Horizon forbidden west collector's edition releasing with no physical disc is the reason I didn't get it.
His Freshness, Chris Ray Gun!
I probably missed it in an old episode, but how come they don't get review codes for God of war like other sites and YouTubers?
12:21 Ironically enough, the Dallas Cowboys don't even play on Dallas. Their stadium is west of that in Arlington Texas.
Damn.. I def didn’t have those problems with mw2… sucks fir those wifi are
Mrmattyplays is to blame for Lockmort not having time to do LSM remix edition edits. BURN THE HERETIC.
My issue with PSVR2 is that it's already a niche product that they're now pricing many people out of, and people still aren't sold on VR due to barriers of entry, limited games library, and motion sickness. Also, as a rule of thumb I won't pay more for a peripheral than I will the console or PC it runs on. It's not like you can play PSVR2 wirelessly, or independent of other hardware either.
Chris is silly with his Marvel bitchin' lol. Think of the children! 🤣🤣
Sony needs to be fun again. ALl of their games are moody dramas with characters set on rails.
Resident evil 4 remake VR is what will make it or break it for me
Vampire Survivors has taken over my life lol
A guy who gave Detroit game of the year, can never be trusted ever again.
I can get games cheaper physically here in Australia. PS store sells new ps5 releases for $124.95 AUD. Can get them physically from our Hifi shops for $99.
Season 2 of the Witcher was significantly better than the 1st. I don't know what Chris was watching to say otherwise?
