Sacred Symbols, Episode 301 | It's Never Too Late to Reinvent the Bicycle
🕑 Added 2024-04-05 16:00:15 +0000 UTCIt was just a couple of weeks ago that we were discussing the newest PlayStation 5 Pro rumors, and now we have fresh scuttlebutt to parse through, particularly concerning our precious framerates and the potential of the still-unannounced console. But we can't help but also wonder what PS5's market potential will be. Will it spread the field or, as it's recently been suggested, merely sell to existing PS5 players? Heck, is there any saving console gaming at all in the long-term? Let's take some time to chat about all of that, plus other news: Helldivers 2's new patch, day-one games coming to PS+ Extra, Silent Hill 2 Remake's ESRB rating, revised PlayStation 2 sales numbers, and so much more. Then: Listener inquiries! How much to we absorb a given game's internal lore, codices, documentation, and so on? Are we ever going to figure out what a 'Soulsborne' actually is? Could a new Shark Tank-like show aimed at indie games help exciting products find their audience? Is Dustin hiding anything else from Colin and Chris that he'd like to talk about?

Small dog breads can be very small. In fact, you should look into ‘Smokey’ the WWII dog! Total bad ass!

Jesus Christ Colin …. Just keep the modem and turn off the WiFi and get a mesh network and put it in your office or anywhere else in the house. Is simple.

According to me and my girlfriend all our cats (we have 4) have their own political and cultural positions/opinions based on how they behave towards each other.

Did Colin just say Jedi Fallen Order was hard? Happy Mothers day.

There’s so many interpretations of soulslike, but one I must insist is that it’s 3D. Similar to Colin’s metroidvania take. I’d also add it has a focus on boss battles, and sports methodical and intentional combat.

I'm here for face gate. Cut the shit Dust 🤣

Control’s lore was so interesting and nowhere near as laborious as Death Stranding. I’m going through DS now and holy crap there is way too much to read. At least with Control it was like a fun puzzle trying to infer what the redacted words and sentences were.

I take umbrage with emulation and modded systems being the reason psvita failed. Especially when the switch which is much more successful and has been broken over the knee of exploits multiple times over. Nintendo is smart enough to throw Mario on the cover and PlayStation gave us B tier exclusives on the Vita

Had no idea about the sweet baby inc thing until I read up on it today. Both sides are absolutely pathetic, how do such minor issues cause people to lose their minds lol.

I love how Colin doesn’t let go of the Dustin / baby news 😂 Reminds me of an old friend who was relentless, and very funny.
