New Heads of PlayStation Announced

We have TWO new bosses at the front of PlayStation, replacing Jim Ryan. Who are they, and what do we think they'll be doing as they split the workload? 

Show Dot Points

• There are rumours of a new PS2 emulator coming to the PS4 and PS5, as evidenced by a PS Store listing for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which mentions newly added features.
• Leaked set photos from The Last of Us TV series have sparked controversy among fans who are concerned that the actors playing Ellie and Dina don't look their age.
• Dylan and Ashley express frustration with the video game industry's tendency to start and close studios and discuss the impact on employees and the overall industry.
• They also discuss the lack of new and exciting games being added to PlayStation Plus and the disappointment of the current offerings.
