Host’s Note: DO NOT be alarmed when you here Joel say “this is episode 1 of the ShockCast.” It is explained in the paragraphs below. Enjoy!
In January of 2010, a few guys named Joel, Yaris, Chad, Brendan, and Evan got together and recorded the first ShockCast. Nearly four years later, some of the voices from the earlier shows are no longer with us, and some are still here. A few aspects have remained and will continue to remain for the duration of the show: humorous, current, and edgy content that you all enjoy.
With that being said, the intro to this week’s ShockCast is very special, as it is an extended version of our original and new themes, with some of the funniest clips, old and new, interspersed throughout. I spent the last few days curating the ShockCast catalogue in order to bring you an unprecedented intro for the ShockCast. Listen and let us know what you think!
This week was all about the next-generation of PlayStation, along with some talk about The Last of Us‘ upcoming DLC announcement, and more about GTA Online. This week I was joined by Joel Taveras (Deputy Editor), Al Zamora (DualShockers TV Host), Jorge Jimenez (Staff Writer), and Ryan Meitzler (Staff Writer). Many thanks to El Blanco Niño for our custom intro and outro.
Another leaker has claimed that a PSP/PS Vita style PlayStation handheld is in the works, and it'll supposedly support PS4 games.
If you had every PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and PSV game then sure but I mean if it's just the PS4 why not just get a Steam Deck?
I still play my vita. The oled screen was too good for it's time. I obviously had to home brew it but playing my old snes/ps1 games on it is so good.
How many people will buy this at launch? As a Vita owner, I'd definitely hold back after how Sony's support for that turned out.
Also, PSP played near PS2 quality games, PS Vita played near PS3 quality games, shouldn't the next Playstation handheld be aiming for near PS5 quality?
A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.
Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.
Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.
Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.
Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5, fans are already beginning to talk about what Sony's next console, the PlayStation 6, will look like and what features it will have.
“While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5“
We always here this statement yet we have plenty of games that struggle to run at solid frame rates or decent resolutions.
"Save that bitch."
Abraiel, which one are you?
