What is PlayStation Actually Doing Right This Generation? - Beyond 953

Is Sony losing its way? This week on Beyond, we try to look at the bright side of the current state of PlayStation, which isn’t exactly easy in light of past few years. From the recently announced plans to kill physical discs to the live-service initiative and the Bungie acquisition to the constantly rising price of hardware amidst a drought of first-party exclusives, there’s a lot to be negative about… but it’s not all bad. We discuss what’s working and what’s definitely not. Plus, we weigh in on Denshattack!, which is like Jet Grind meets Tony Hawk, but with Japanese trains. It’s the kind of weird stuff Sony used to bring us all the time, which is in short supply these days. Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is gorgeous and well made, but not everything we’d hoped for. Plus, we take a look ahead to the PlayStation 6 and reveal what YOU think is the biggest factor in buying a PS6 based on our recent poll results! Beyond!
