Summary

This week on the number one PlayStation Podcast produced by IGN, join substitute host Max Scoville, Jada Griffin, and Matt Kim as they discuss the latest goings-on including (but not limited to) job listings posted by Sucker Punch that suggest the studio might be making an open-world game with stealth and melee combat. So, Ghost of Tsushima 2? Or Ghost of some other Japanese island? Or hey, maybe it’s Sly Cooper. We can dream. We also have some new details on Final Fantasy 16, which will not be an open-world game or too similar to Final Fantasy 14, but it sounds cool nonetheless. The Birdman himself revealed that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 almost got remakes, but apparently those got scrapped. Meanwhile, PlayStation is skipping Gamescom, YouTuber DIYperks made his own PS5 Slim, and Creative Assembly’s new game Hyenas sounds pretty cool. Plus, we talk about Ape Escape and Metal Gear Solid 3 and Dragon’s Dogma, which Max is still very excited about.

0:11.4	Beyond and Hello and welcome to IGN's PlayStation Podcast. I'm Max Gowville, hosting for Jonathan
0:16.0	Dormbush who is on vacation at an expensive rat park or some sort of island getaway. Who
0:20.5	knows? This is episode 755, if you're keeping track. I barely am. I'm joined today by Jada
0:25.9	Griffin and Matt Kim. Thank you so much for hopping on and hopefully helping me fill some
0:30.3	dead air when I forget what I'm going to say.
0:32.8	Yeah, I actually got in touch with Jonathan while he's on vacation. He took his PlayStation
0:37.9	with them to play Ninja Turtle specifically. And because, like you said, he's only playing
0:43.4	Splinter in the rat park. Okay, you're messing with me.
0:45.5	To really fill that hole. That part isn't, I wouldn't put it past him for that, but I
0:49.0	feel like just lugging a PlayStation 5 around isn't really. That's not really a very travel
0:54.3	centric thing. Anything is travel centric if you work hard enough, Max.
0:58.4	Fair enough. That's, sure, why not. Somebody actually did figure out how to make a PlayStation
1:04.2	5 slim. We're going to talk about that a little bit later. But first, we have some exciting
1:07.5	news, sort of, maybe. Soccer Punch posted some job listings because they want to hire people
1:14.8	to make video games, which is what they do at Soccer Punch. And these job listings have
1:18.8	a little bit of information that could let us possibly glean what they might be working
1:23.2	on next. This is one of those like, stop the presses, everybody. This is huge news. They
1:29.2	are looking for an encounter designer who will deliver interesting and varied encounters
1:33.8	in an open world game with a particular focus on melee combat and stealth.
1:37.5	I mean, there's only one game Soccer Punch does that really, well, that one game that
1:42.1	focuses on stealth, but one big one that comes to mind is itself. And we all know that's
