Official Playstation Blogcast

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!

We talk MLB The Show 17, Prey, and Sid's unusual past. Join us!

Mass Effect Andromeda and Psychonauts in The Rhombus of Ruin for PS VR take center stage on this week’s show! Special guests include Bioware General Manager Aaryn Flynn and Double Fine’s Tim Schafer and Chad Dawson. We also discuss all the finest things in life: Darkest Dungeon, OLED TVs, and PlayStation VR.

Is Resident Evil 7 in virtual reality *too* scary? Horror aficionado Sid Shuman reports! Plus, the gang talks about their beefy hands-on session with Horizon Zero Dawn, all leading up to an enlightening interview with Hermen Hulst of Guerrilla Games. Enjoy!

The gang's all here! Well, two of them anyway. That's right, this week's show sees Ryan and Justin at the reins, which means there's nobody to stop them from talking about Final Fantasy for an hour straight! Except they don't do that, because that wouldn't make for a great show. Come for an interview with Ubisoft about Ghost Recon Wildlands, stay for Justin recounting his recent adventures in Japan.

It took us 45 minutes to figure out how to turn the microphones on, but when we finally did we discussed the packed release schedule for the last week of January, including Resident Evil VII and Yakuza 0, Sid’s love of pinball, and, of course, Sid’s continued tilt at the windmills of Darkest Dungeon.

Ahoy hoy! We're only in the second week of January, so we feel it's still appropriate to take the time to reflect on 2016. To help us do that on this week's Blogcast, we were happy enough to be joined by the illustrious Scott Rohde, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Worldwide Studios.

We're back! Joining us for our inaugural 2017 episode is farm-fresh new face Zac Minor, who recently joined the PlayStation social media team. This week, we discuss what we played over the break, adventures in VR gaming (Carnival Games!) and plenty more.

We made it! It's the end of the year, and the Blogcast crew has thoughts. MANY THOUGHTS. Join us as we look back on our favorite games of 2016, endlessly promote our fancy new short URL for PlayStation.Blog (Seriously, try it! It works!) and generally just kill time until we're allowed to leave for the holiday break. See you in 2017!

Whew! PSX is over and the gang's back in our cozy lil' recording studio... with brand-new recording gear! It's like we're professionals or something. Join us as we recount our favorite new reveals, chat with the team behind Lara Croft Go, share early impressions of Resident Evil 7, and have a refreshingly frank discussion about breaking into the video game industry.

PlayStation Experience 2016 hits next weekend! We take a breather from the Black Friday rush to gush about PS4 Pro, Sid talks about why the Call of Duty Infinite Warfare campaign surprised him, and Justin details his favorite aspects of Titanfall 2.
