Elden Ring is just about here and the reviews for it are extremely positive! So on this week’s episode of IGN’s PlayStation Podcast, we chat about what it was like for Mitchell Saltzman to review such a massive game in 87 hours, and why it’s something fans of the genre will definitely love. We also explore all the new systems it has to offer, and how its open-world adds a dash of welcome flavor to an already tried and true concept.
Also, Jada Griffin sits down with Neil Jones the creator behind Aerial Knight’s Never Yield, to talk about its development, the game industry, and all the new content featured in DA Update.
There was also a bit of PlayStation news for folks to be excited about, including a look at the PS Plus games you’ll get to claim in March, as well as a quick discussion about the recently revealed look of the PSVR 2 headset.

23:52 thank god someone said it. These issues are why I’m surprised it got a perfect score. Wouldn’t the reviewer dock at least half a point for the terrible performance?!
This dude is right — we shouldn’t be giving From the benefit of the doubt on performance. Bloodborne frame pacing is STILL wack.
I know I’m probably going to get some hate but this podcast is SO much better with a different host. I never usually finish the PS or Xbox podcasts, I think both hosts are really dull (I’m sure they’re lovely people irl). NVC and Gamescoop on the other hand, I listen to religiously and I think it’s because of the hosts.
Is that a dude ?????
Is it just me or did mitchell just discard all open world games and just describe the same open world features of elden ring as it’s usp lol!
The title sounds like a review from an art critic on comedy bang bang! 😂
I'll take a look at Aerial Knight, looks very chill for platform fans 😛
Mark, you did a really good job hosting this week's Beyond! 👏
I watched the whole thing and I'm not even that interested in Elden Ring. Nicely Job.
Loved having Mark as the host. It felt better, more voices were heard.
Jada's interview 💯
I'm confused; this many technical issues, and we're not dinging their score down to a 9? Seems like From paid for some of this celebration
Jada having a Team Sonic racing jumpsuit just made me love her even more!!!
This episode is the best sequel ever, thanks Mark
I tried…I really tried…I just don't feel the hype around Elden Ring…
Miyazaki said if you b line straight to the end it would take 30 hrs, not the whole thing.
Great show! You did an amazing job, Mark! You’re a great Host! I’m a little surprised you’re still at IGN actually after mentioning the name that shall never be said on IGN last week.
Currently speed running through Horizion Forbidden West's story before playing Elden Ring. Ughhh why couldn't Elden Ring release in April…
I've never played a Souls game but Mitchell's review makes me want to play.
Haha, loved Bloodborne and Souls games, but honestly don’t understand the hype. Asides from open world aspect, the gameplay is literally identical to past games from the same genre. Open world, not something we haven’t seen before.
No matter how you spin something an open world is an open world. Nothing revolutionary.
Another case of pure hype because a game is simply long awaited. We are seeing it with Metroid Prime 4, which is a game in a series which is very niche considering that it is a Nintendo IP.
Hey Jada, amazing interview with Neil, immediate purchase here!
What Fromsoft really succeeded in is implementing 8-bit NES levels of difficulty into a boss battle combat scheme which teaches you through trial and experience rather than cheap attacks.
