PlayStation State of Play August 2020 Rundown
/With the PS5 slated for release in the holiday of 2020, it's no surprise that a lot of game news has shifted focus to the latest titles for the shiny new console. That's not to say that the current generation is being left in the dust. PlayStation held their State of Play Livestream earlier today focusing on upcoming games to the PS4 and PS VR as well as a few quick check-ins on third-party and indie titles shown back in June's PS5 showcase.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
The stream starts off with a pretty in-depth rundown of the new Crash Bandicoot game. We're shown a lot more specifics about the new powers, abilities, playable characters, and new game modes. Color me excited.
