Suddenly out of nowhere, Playstation announces PC support in a manner that surprises everyone; the Playstation experiencce can now be found on PC starting with Ghosts of Tsushima. Playstation, like Xbox, is now taking PC far more seriously than ever before in an ever shifting gaming industry. The power of TV and cinema cannot be denied and Fallout is the latest example of this, with the critically acclaimed TV series resulting in massive sales boosts for a number of Fallout games. Xbox software appearing on Playstation has been a very controversial move but it looks like the move bears fruit for Microsoft as Xbox games dominate the Playstation charts, even more than Playstation games! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gameondaily/support

Its a big week for gaming news as 2 highly anticipated games got released including Dragon's Dogma 2 which got its fair share of love and hate, the latter dominating the airwaves more than the former. Third party Playstation exclusive, Rise of the Ronin did not fare well critically. If you are sick of the Marvel IP and Marvel games then perhaps the trailer for Marvel Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra changed your mind with its stunning in-engine trailer. We also saw more of Dune: Awakening and it looks like Unreal Engine 5 is thoroughly elevating the fidelity of game worlds across the board. We found out more about the specs of the Playstation 5 Pro, and hints again at a dedicated Xbox handheld being revealed soon, with Windows Central's Jez Corden stating that the lieklihood of this device existing is high.

Some big leaks this week as the Playstation 5 Pro specs were leaked and confirmed by Tom Henderson and they look mighty impressive. The cancelled Spiderman multiplayer title, Spider-Man: The Great Web had its trailer leaked and it seemed quite far into production. Ninja Theory released some mighty impressive photos of Hellblade 2 and confirmed it has a photo mode. In other news, the PC version of Final Fantasy 16 is in the final stages of optmisation and Japanese sales figures for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth saw a huge drop off in the second week. Fornite and Anthem had new seasons released. Shawn Layden and Jim Ryan stirred the hornet's nest with their suspect comments on the state of the industry, the ABK deal and consolidation in general. Rise of the Ronin early impressions have not really impressed some and Multiversus is now officially returning in May and moving to Unreal Engine 5. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gameondaily/support
