Joe

Joe was born in a time of war. A console war. Two electronic titans were locked in a heated battle for the living rooms of America. Which titans, you ask? Well, the Fairchild Channel F and the Atari 2600 of course. You see, Joe is old. So many of his favorite games tend to be on the older side as well. But that hasn’t stopped him from developing unhealthy obsessions with such modern franchises as Halo and Mass Effect. Just don’t tell him how long it’s been since the original Metroid was released. His aging heart can’t take the shock.

But in between the oooohs and ahhhs, I bet there were a few people whispering “that can’t really be in engine, can it?” If a new gameplay video just released by Sony is any indication, it most certainly was. The new video offers our best look yet at the game’s combat, and you can see it for yourself by reading on.
