A fascinating E3 2017 roundtable discussion between Warren Spector (System Shock, Deus Ex, System Shock 3), Harvey Smith (Deus Ex, Dishonored 2), and Daryl Long (Far Cry 5) around what makes immersive sim games so influential and enduring.

Listen in on an epic discussion between Cory Barlog from Santa Monica Studio (God of War), Brian Intihar from Insomniac Games (Marvel's Spider-Man), and Kurt Margenau and Shaun Escayg from Naughty Dog (Uncharted: The Lost Legacy) to discuss the evolving nature of iconic heroes.

We're recording from beautiful downtown Los Angeles for E3 2017! The PS.Blog team reviews all the amazing announcements from the PlayStation Showcase and the first day of livestreaming. Join us!

Here we go! We're mere days away from PlayStation Live From E3 2017. The festivities kick off at 5pm Pacific Monday evening, but the Blogcast crew just had to get one last episode in before we go into full E3-prep mode. Enjoy the show, then enjoy the other show!

It's a star-studded 250th episode extravaganza!   ...Actually, it's a pretty normal episode. We've got a good one for ya though — Ryan and Justin fawn over their time with Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood, Sid has lots of nice things to say about Logan (the movie!), and our heroes face the inevitable truth that E3 is right around the corner. Enjoy!

We’ve got a short — but dense! — episode for ya this week, and you’ll never guess what it’s about! Well, you might have guessed. Justin and Zac are on location at the Destiny 2 Gameplay Reveal in Los Angeles, and they couldn’t wait to share their initial thoughts on Bungie’s latest with you. Spoilers: they like it a lot.

Sid and Ryan test their improvisation skills on this week's episode as they slam that record button with very little preparation! Ryan puts on his formal attire and interviews Sid (someone with no direct connection to the Tekken 7 development team) about Tekken 7.

The band's back together this week, and everybody's ready for Prey. Arkane's latest has something for everyone: an abandoned space station, mind-bending powers, eye injections... sign us up! Bonus: Sid discovers an underappreciated new PS4 gem and encourages the gang to give it a shot.

Justin has Nier: Automata on the brain after finishing multiple playthroughs of its unique sci-fi story. But the hosts keep spoiler talk to a minimum, don't worry!

Rested and refreshed following a wild weekend at Star Wars Celebration, our own Sid Shuman stops by to share his initial report on Star Wars Battlefront II.

Stop the presses, folks! Ryan Clements actually played a video game. That's right, the Blogcast is back and we're talking Horizon Zero Dawn -- a gorgeous experience that Clements finally started. Plus, the team covers the new releases for next week and all the latest PlayStation news, including the latest Overwatch seasonal event.

We've become enamored with Aloy, staggered by the scope of the world, and awed by the stunning visuals Guerrilla Games has crafted. Perhaps none so more than Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann. After spending only a week with the game, Neil was able take time away from crafting The Last of Us: Part II to sit down with Guerrilla Games Managing Director Hermen Hulst.

We're back, baby! A bounty of listener letters sparks serious (ha!) discussion on topics both profound and preposterous. Justin shares tips for anybody thinking about diving into FFXIV, Sid finally conquers the Darkest Dungeons, Zac reveals his secret past in Hollywood, and it all culminates in a pierogies vs nachos battle royale! Don't ask.

Listen up! This week, we've got hard-hitting interviews on Starblood Arena and What Remains of Edith Finch, plus some very unusual talk about laundry.

It's a half-staffed show jam-packed with valuable #content for our dear listeners this week! Join us for lots of Mass Effect Andromeda talk, Justin's early impressions of Persona 5, and interviews with the teams behind Hob, The Persistence and Farpoint. Phew!

Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen! It's our pleasure to present a brand new episode that features not only the recently revealed Middle-earth: Shadow of War, but also the upcoming They Shall Not Pass DLC from Battlefield 1. That's right, two (2) featured interviews in one (1) podcast! Bonus: the team continues to gush about Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ryan just barely prevents Sid from falling down a Darkest Dungeon tangent again. Enjoy the show!

On this week's Blogcast, Sid and I recount our favorite stories to come out of GDC '17. We also ponder the finer points of the "clicker" genre, look forward to the sleeper hit-to-be Disc Jam, and share stories of our adventures in Guerrilla's Horizon Zero Dawn. Finally, a thought-provoking listener letter kicks off a discussion about overhyping games and expectation management. Enjoy the show!

The gang weighs in on Horizon Zero Dawn, coming to PS4 on February 28. Join us!
