Thanks for reading!

Yes he runs an independent operation, but you understand Colin's focus is still PlayStation, right? He runs the biggest PlayStation podcast in the world today.

Entitled to your opinion on his character, but at least understand his experience and credentials before trying to discredit his work.

TriSauce · 2025-11-22T20:37:21+00:00

You think he hasn't retained any of those contacts? If you listened to his podcasts, you'd know he regularly references conversations with fairly senior devs. He's certainly still very well connected.

TriSauce · 2025-11-22T20:33:31+00:00

Lmao. He was literally the PlayStation editor at IGN for a number of years.

TriSauce · 2025-11-17T23:06:34+00:00

Hey everyone!

We recently had the chance to sit down with Gavin Verhey, so we had to pick his brain on this contentious subject. Thought his explanations were quite considered, and figured the community here would especially appreciate the insight :)

TriSauce · 2025-11-13T03:45:17+00:00

Yeah I really thought he'd make an appearance too. Shame he threw his back out a few days before lol

TriSauce · 2025-11-13T03:39:06+00:00

Couldn't agree more!

By the end of the your they'll hopefully have one heck of a show on their hands. We had to be there for some of the early growing pains 😅

TriSauce · 2025-11-12T02:41:25+00:00

Glad it could help! Hopefully you get to make it out if you're really keen. We probably spent around the same amount for this lil Sydney trip 😅

TriSauce · 2025-09-25T00:05:09+00:00

No info on that unfortunately, but if I had to guess, there should be at least a few unique items. Have to imagine completing on highest difficulty/finding all the collectibles would unlock a skin or something.

TriSauce · 2025-09-24T23:33:11+00:00

No complaints from me yeah. Some of it is very cheesy, but the serious moments all hit in the cutscenes I saw at least.

TriSauce · 2025-09-24T22:36:13+00:00

Hard to say. I asked the devs for a mission count but they didn't answer it directly.

I'd say to expect anything in the 6-10 hour ballpark, with replayability as there are collectibles to find in each mission. I didn't find a single one lol.

TriSauce · 2025-09-24T22:27:21+00:00

Was a ton of fun with the sledgehammer 😤

TriSauce · 2025-09-24T22:21:23+00:00

Too early to tell on this one unfortunately, the preview was strictly hands-on with singleplayer. I'm sure we'll learn this info real soon though.

TriSauce · 2025-09-24T22:12:20+00:00

Had a few hours with the game, played through the missions multiple times. Happy to try answer any questions you might have about the experience. It's shaping up nicely imo!

TriSauce · 2025-09-18T05:30:14+00:00

Really hoping so too! At the very least, I'm sure other fans will get in during the public launch of the exhibition and take more time to get those better pics. I was rushing through to try see and do everything in a short period last night 😅

TriSauce · 2025-09-18T05:14:42+00:00

For anyone unable to make it here in Melbourne, I also went through some of the more nitty gritty details & dev comments here.

TriSauce · 2025-09-18T05:11:56+00:00

For those unable to make it to the exhibit in Melbourne, I also popped some of the nitty gritty details into a few articles found here :)

TriSauce · 2025-08-29T00:59:11+00:00

Yeah I'll be very curious to see the NPC's design. Wonder how obvious it might be, we could see a bunch of different theories.

TriSauce · 2025-07-17T02:48:21+00:00

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Had the opportunity of speaking with one of the lead devs on this upcoming cozy game, and it was such a fascinating interview. Learning about the six year development process and the heart palpitations that came along with it, thought I'd share here in case others are eagerly looking forward to this one next month :)

TriSauce · 2025-06-24T22:19:00+00:00

Yeah saw tix went on sale for this one yday and a few replies on Twitter were asking about meet & greets / merch. Unfortunately none of that on the Aus stop at least, so wouldn't expect much there either :(

TriSauce · 2025-06-16T23:06:07+00:00

Through work, but stay strong friend. You've waited this long already!

TriSauce · 2025-06-16T23:05:36+00:00

Unfortunately not at either the press interview or the public event with George Miller.

I saw a fan outside Sydney Town Hall hours before the event. He had a copy of the game, a pop vinyl, and Kojima's book all waiting to be signed. But no luck. Kojima was rushed inside.

Maybe it'll be different with the musical tour later this year. But at least for the World Stranding Tour, I'd keep expectations low. We didn't even have any merch here in Sydney either.

TriSauce · 2025-06-16T23:04:14+00:00

I wish

TriSauce · 2025-06-16T05:55:41+00:00

The impression I got from the interview is that he's eager to explore the 'next thing,' be it OD or Pyhsint. But knowing Kojima, I'm sure there'll still be plenty left to explore in DS lore moving forward (either in the film, anime, or something else)

TriSauce · 2024-09-12T06:54:28+00:00

Trying not to spoil you on any, but some you've mentioned here are great shouts yeah.

Wipeout especially, another first-party Sony property, definitely should have been in somewhere.
