Marvel's Wolverine - Our 2hr Hands On | More The Players - The PopC PlayStation Podcast Extra

00:00 / 00:45:55

Thanks to PlayStation Australia, Ryan and Paul were invited to MARVEL Stadium in Melbourne to spend 2 hours with Marvel’s Wolverine, and even get to have a Q&A with Liam McIntyre and Jess Reiner-Reed from Insomniac Games.

The two talk about the story, the skill tree, costumes, boss fights, and more. Is the internet wrong about Wolverine?

PREVIEW – 3 Hours With Saros | More The Players – PopC PlayStation Pod Extra

For The Players - The PopCulturists' PlayStation Podcast

PREVIEW - 3 Hours With Saros | More The Players – PopC PlayStation Pod Extra

00:00 / 00:28:31

Seasonal Paj returns!
PlayStation Australia kindly invited Paul to their offices in Sydney to spend three hours with Housemarque’s upcoming title, Saros.
With the release being one of Max’s most anticipated games of 2026, he had endless questions!

If you would like to know more about Saros please leave a comment below and we will get you the answers 🙂

Discover a dark, personal story of a man bound to a world that corrupts everything it touches.
Set on the shape-shifting planet Carcosa, SAROS is a standalone cinematic action experience from Housemarque. The story follows Arjun Devraj, a haunted Soltari enforcer driven by loss, regret and an unrelenting need for answers. Drawn into Carcosa’s violent beauty and cosmic horrors, Arjun searches for the truth behind the Eclipse: a sinister force that distorts the world, and everyone within it.
As he fights his way across Carcosa’s mysterious biomes, Arjun’s journey pulls him deeper into a fallen civilisation, towards unsettling truths about his own past. Along the way, he will encounter unlikely allies, fractured bonds and revelations far more devastating than he imagined.

Tri Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey Review w/ Paul James | More The Players – The PopC PlayStation Podcast Extra

For The Players - The PopCulturists' PlayStation Podcast

Tri Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey Review w/ Paul James | More The Players - The PopC PlayStation Podcast Extra

00:00 / 26:34

A decade has passed since the events of Twin Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Adventure. After successfully unraveling the mystery behind NASA’s disappearing generation ships, heroic pilots Colin and Chris have entered quiet lives of retirement. But the copious data they brought back from their remarkable journey has been fully studied, and shadowy government figures are keen on exploiting new discoveries to achieve potentially sinister ends.
Can a third hero — the brave government liaison Dustin — convince the boys to put a stop to the renewed madness? If Twin Breaker was a brick breaker about space, Tri Breaker is a brick breaker on steroids, and this go-around, it’s all about time.
Explore 40 brand new stages spread across four periods of galactic history, and obliterate the brick-breaking formula with new action-oriented gameplay quirks and formulas that you’ve never seen before in the genre.
With boss fights, tons of story and dialogue, a retro-fueled soundtrack, and much more, Tri Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey is inspired by the one of the most popular video game podcasts on Earth, Sacred Symbols, is written by long-time gaming personality Colin Moriarty, and is the sixth title from Lillymo Games.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Review w/ Phid McAwesome | More The Players - The PopC PlayStation Podcast Extra

00:00 / 53:47

Review code provided by Five Star Games

Silent Hill 2 is a 2024 survival horror game developed by Bloober Team and published by Konami Digital Entertainment. It is a remake of the 2001 video game Silent Hill 2, originally developed by Team Silent, a group within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo (KCET). It is the first major installment in the Silent Hill series since Silent Hill: Downpour (2012). Like the original game, it follows James Sunderland, a widower, who returns to the eponymous town of Silent Hill upon receiving a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, who claims to be waiting there for him.

Silent Hill 2 was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows on October 8, 2024. The game received generally favorable reviews from critics and sold one million copies within three days of release.

Just like in the games it’s named after, Tomb Raider has been rebooted.

But this time its darker and grittier. Some would call it a dark gritty reboot.

But after the many, many, many, MANY video game movie failures we ask: Is Tomb Raider finally a good video game movie?

Join Dylan as he breaks down his thoughts on this newest release.

This week the latest attempt to make video games into movies hit screens with the reboot of Tomb Raider. But adaptions have consistently not been all that crash hot.

With attempts like Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia, Capcom’s Resident Evil, and big hitters Rockstar with Max Payne all being commercially and critically panned, we ask the question: Why Can’t They Translate Video Games to Movies?

Join Dylan and Ryan as they analyse this issue from both a gaming and a movie perspective.

The latest instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is HERE!

This time we are heading to the hidden country of Wakanda to join the Black Panther.

Was the movie good? Is it the first flop for Marvel? Watch and see in this NO HOLDS BARRED SPOILER chat.

Black Panther is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the eighteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Ryan Coogler from a screenplay by him and Joe Robert Cole, and stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black Panther, alongside Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis. In Black Panther, T’Challa returns home as king of Wakanda but finds his sovereignty challenged by a long-time adversary in a conflict that has global consequences.

After the death of his father, T’Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king — and as Black Panther — gets tested when he’s drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.

Micro-transactions are garbage to begin with, but when they are put into a full priced AAA single-player game… Nope!

With the announcement that Warner Bros. and Monolith have shoe-horned xp boosts, loot boxes, and orc-for-cash Ryan and Josh were simply not pleased.

Why the hell should they be here? It just seems so dirty!

And as always we tackle the news of the week, such as: Overwatch (again, we know!), Horizon: Zero Dawn release date, Fallout 4 goes GOTY, Ubisoft gets a new studio, and the best selling games for the week.

Have a question PlayStation or gaming related you want Ryan and Josh to discuss? Head on over to www.thepopculturists.com/questions and submit away. You can always comment below too!

With just under 40 years combined #PlayStation gaming and over 5 years in games coverage, Ryan and Josh felt that they would be capable of throwing their hats in the ring and join the greater PlayStation discussion. This new weekly show will allow us to discuss the ins and outs of Sony’s hardware, software, and relationships.

For many this comes as no surprise. Many were able to guess from the not so subtle tease and the known affinity Ryan and Josh have for the PlayStation brand what this project could have been.
