Sacred Symbols, Episode 372 | Let's Get Physintcal
🕑 Added 2025-08-15 16:00:28 +0000 UTCSony is a many-tendrilled corporation, which can be both a blessing and a curse. But in fully leveraging all that the wider company does well, it seems they're closer than ever to achieving the "One Sony" goal from years and decades past. Enter Physint (sometimes typed PHYSINT, for some reason), a Hideo Kojima-led project revealed last year as a mysterious cross-pollination between PlayStation and Sony Pictures, one that appears to go into a distinctly Metal Gear Solid-like direction. With Death Stranding 2 now in the past, Kojima is confirmed to be working on Physint itself, presumably for PlayStation 6, which raises some questions, like: What will the game be like? When will it come out? Will it be a commercial success? We know so little about it, and yet, that's never stopped us before, so why start now? Plus: Arrowhead rather blatantly teases a Helldivers 2/Halo crossover, Strauss Zelnick expresses confidence in GTA6's Spring '26 release window and promises that BioShock 4 will indeed launch one day, rumors percolate about upcoming Resident Evil remakes, Crimson Desert gets delayed, PUBG is the next game to reveal it's leaving PlayStation 4 behind, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What's the best stoner game? Are people overreacting to recent PlayStation executives' chatter about moving away from hardware? Is Danganronpa actually bad? Did we actually (and unintentionally) get someone fired from their job?

A little late here, but if Colin wants to play Ready Or Not without AI teammates then just command them to wait at the start of a map. But the AI is pretty good, they will usually be just fine if you don't engage with them at all & just let them follow you.

Noah Hawley is a damn genius. If anyone can make a Far Cry show good, it's him. Fargo is a veritable masterpiece of a show

Forza Horizon 5 is amazing. Even if not into cars there’s so much there to enjoy and the gameplay is unmatched in free roam driving

Having finally gone back to finish DOOM and make a start on the platinum, I can confirm that the Melee Expert trophy has not popped after buying the final upgrade. Also the trophy for collecting all demonic essence ammo upgrades.
