Sacred Symbols, Episode 378 | Underneath, the New Skin Breathes
🕑 Added 2025-09-26 16:00:24 +0000 UTCThe "where are the games?!" crowd is having a bad week, because PlayStation's most recent State of Play showed that plenty is indeed incoming for your PS5. For starters, Insomniac's long-dormant Wolverine has reemerged. Revealed four years ago and having clearly gone through some tribulations behind-the-scenes, Wolverine is slated for PlayStation 5 next fall, and it looks violent and grisly in all the right ways. Coming sooner from first party, however, is Housemarque's Returnal sequel Saros, launching in March of '26. It looks awesome, and we're to get back to shootin'. But as if these two games didn't give us enough to talk about, there's more: Microsoft Flight Simulator is the next Xbox-aligned game PS5-bound (with Forza Horizon 6 somewhere behind it), the original Deus Ex is getting the remaster treatment, a God of War DualSense has been revealed in recognition of the franchise's 20th anniversary, Kojima both revealed a Physint poster and showed off his new horror title OD, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! What's going on with the PS5 Pro's many technical issues? Will NetEase's F2P game Ananta be as insane as it seems? Why do we have such a problem with the premise of licensed games? Is Boar's Head's fine deli meat becoming too expensive for the average consumer?

Why didn't you cover the Sony Corporate Report and the strategic reorientation from last week?

I feel like Colin would enjoy The Rehearsal, it's his exact brand of autism turned up to 11

Why does Colin think the 400,000 likes on the Wolverine trailer is a good sign now? He has always said that the like/dislike data on youtube doesn’t really tell us anything since games with high dislikes have always sold well.

Haven’t heard a peep from the too many games crowd. That was from the era when Colin was trying to convince you the person buying helldivers is also going to play Stellar Blade
Girth Brooks
With Wolverine, why do they keep saying the game looks awesome. We haven’t seen the game. We’ve seen animations. For all we know it’s just going to be another “light attack, heavy attack, finishing move attack” 3rd person action game with a Wolverine skin.

Guys, OD will be a 4-6 hour experience on par with Hellblade - people will buy and cancel Game Pass for this.

Woken up and sucked into this thread by the strength of this guys cringe and it’s still not strong enough for that write in.
Ryan
Cringed so hard I created a cringe singularity at the wedding vows write in

“Sly cooper wouldn’t be in that conversation” Excuse me? The disrespect show to our raccoon is a joke
Fat Matt
Would it be possible that PlayStation puts the current Forza horizon 5 as a PS plus monthly game in the near future?

I just hope Wolverine has a comic writer on stand by like Batman Arkham asylum and city and spider man 1, because when they didn’t have comic writers on stand by the stories got rough and I don’t understand why
