PS This is Awesome: Episode 365

Fred has been on a Contra marathon, beating Contra Arcade, Super Contra, Contra C (Japan), Contra (NA), Super C, and Route A of Contra: Hard Corps—with more routes to go. He’s also still playing F.I.S.T. and appreciating its level design. Meanwhile, Jake is deep into Kingdom Come: Deliverance side quests, playing more Resident Evil 4 Remake VR, and jumping back into Boltgun (though he wishes the music was better).


In the news, we finally got a PlayStation State of Play! Some major reveals include:


🎮 Jedi Survivor and Lost Records: Bloom and Rage are coming to PlayStation Plus Extra.

🌊 Tides of Annihilation, developed by Eclipse Glow Games, was announced.

🌀 SAROS, an upcoming title from PlayStation, is set for 2026 and is reportedly less difficult than Returnal.

🏍️ Days Gone Remastered is dropping in April.

💥 Borderlands 4 is launching in September.

🥷 Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (from SEGA) is coming 8/29/25 and has a Streets of Rage 4-style art direction.

👻 The Midnight Walk, a VR2 horror experience, is coming in May.

🛸 Directive 8020 from Supermassive Games (10/2/25) looks promising—let’s see how it plays out.

🔍 MindsEyes, a near-future single-player action/adventure game, is being developed by Build a Rocket Boy and IOI Partners.


Meanwhile, Phil Spencer says Xbox will include PS5 logos in future showcases, further signaling a more open approach to game availability.

In remake news, Max Payne PS5 is now in full production at Remedy. Unfortunately, another PlayStation classic—The Order 1886—had a sequel pitched to Sony, but like Resistance 4, it was rejected. A real bummer for fans of PlayStation’s lost gems.


Lots to break down—let’s get into it!
