Is The Last of Us really being remade for PlayStation 5 and if it is, is it really coming out in 2022? Or has the news void drove journos to desperation? Rich, John and Alex discuss this, the controversial PlayStation Plus games line-up – and of course, the big Starfield/Redfall delay. Also: Hitman 3’s ray tracing seems to require an RTX 3070 and DLSS for 1440p – just how heavy is this game?
UPDATE: It looks like we might be getting some Ridge Racer action with the new PS Plus after all – here are some high res images of Ridge Racers 2 on PSP, presumably running on a modern console: https://www.eurogamer.net/more-games-seemingly-revealed-for-playstations-new-look-subscription-service
