Sony Acquires AI Company, TLOU Multiplayer Director Talks About Cancellation. - [LTPS #720]

Let's Talk Plus Weekly Giveaway: https://linktr.ee/mysticryan

This week Sony entered into more acquisition activity by picking up an AI company which they might want for PSSR and perhaps PlayStation 6? Speaking of which, we have more rumors regarding the base PS6 consoles storage and disc drive option. And the handheld we're hearing might have a pretty strong GPU! This week we also had an incredibly interesting interview come out with the former Naughty Dog Game Director Vinit Agarwal. They worked on The Last of Us Multiplayer and they said it was 80% done before getting cancelled! Elsewhere in the week we have some stuff for Saros, Pragmata, Starfield, the Xbox Games Showcase, layoff news, and so much more. I want the show to sound exciting but really a lot of this is depressing. So uhhh, hope you have a good weekend.
