TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 42: PS State of Play and Spider-Man exclusivity

Whilst we have an affinity with all things Xbox related, our team of gaming fanatics gathered for a very PlayStation focused instalment in the wake of their latest event. TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 42 revolves around the recent State of Play and also touches on the Spider-Man exclusivity in Marvel's Avengers. Was the show everything we could’ve hoped for, or is the future looking bleaker?

This week, Gareth, James and Richard share their immediate thoughts about the State of Play as a whole, before launching into the specific PS4, PS5 and VR offerings they’d seen. Crash 4: It’s About Time was an instant hit due to the sheer volume of new gameplay features, a new mode, and a very cool playable character. The trio also covered Hitman 3’s VR demonstration, a deep look at the mystical open-world adventure The Pathless, and the Pokemon alternative, Temtem.

That’s not all though, with unique puzzler The Pedestrian, the intriguing 2.5D action-adventure ANNO: Mutationem, a Spelunky sequel, the critter-filled Bugsnax, and many others talked about. 

They couldn’t wrap up the episode without referencing the news of Spider-Man being an exclusive DLC character for Marvel's Avengers on PlayStation. Not everyone is happy with the decision and so the guys attempt to see it from multiple perspectives.

Feel free to weigh-in on any of the topics discussed by reaching out on our many social media channels.
