Welcome to Episode 12 of the Eternal Backlog Podcast! In this episode, we dive into our full reaction to Sony PlayStation’s latest State of Play showcase. From exciting new games like Ghost of Yotei and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered to the big reveal of the PS5 Pro, we break down what these announcements mean for the future of gaming and whether they’ve sold us on the next-gen PlayStation experience.


This Week’s Highlights:

  • Featured Game: Dead Rising Deluxe Edition
    We revisit the cult classic Dead Rising Deluxe Edition, talking about its unique gameplay mechanics, the fun (and sometimes frustrating) makeshift weapons, and how the 72-hour time limit impacts the overall experience. Is this zombie survival game still worth playing in 2024?
  • Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks Could the leaked design of the Switch 2 revolutionize handheld gaming? We chat about the rumored magnetic attachments, upgraded specs, and how it might compete with current-gen consoles.
  • State of Play Reactions & PS5 Pro
    Our thoughts on the newest game announcements and the PS5 Pro reveal—does this justify the hype? And will this push PlayStation ahead of the competition?
  • IGN Game of the Year Controversy
    We discuss the rumors swirling around IGN allegedly manipulating the voting for Black Myth: Wukong in their Game of the Year community polls. What’s the truth behind these claims, and what does it mean for gaming journalism?
