Sacred Symbols, Episode 295 | The Love That You Need Will Never Be Found at Home
🕑 Added 2024-02-23 17:00:18 +0000 UTCThe dam has broken. After paving the way just last week, Microsoft has confirmed its four games that are coming to PlayStation platforms, and they're arriving a lot sooner than any of us thought. One of them -- Pentiment -- is available on PS4 and PS5 alike right now, while Hi-Fi Rush isn't far behind. Multiplayer titles Grounded and Sea of Thieves will round things out, but certainly, this is just the beginning of the migration, right? Other news this week includes the release date for Elden Ring's long-awaited expansion, percolating PS5 Pro rumors suggesting a fall release, the beginning of Jim Ryan's goodbye tour, PSVR2's PC future, and much more. Listener inquiries help us round things out, as usual. Did Hiroki Totoki successfully diagnose Bungie's issues? Does Sony suffer and Nintendo benefit from a double-standard when it comes to porting and otherwise re-releasing their respective games? Could Resistance: Retribution's reemergence indicate a future for the dormant franchise? Is Brad saying "Colin" wrong on all of his shows?

I was cackling out loud in public when I thought to myself, Show someone just the 1st 30 minutes of the number 1 PlayStation Podcast on the internet. Off the rails in 5 minutes. Don't change LSM.

10 minutes in and I’m picturing George Washington blasting Colin out to Ocean Avenue. Is there a better way to spend $5?

I just wanted to chime in that Pinkerton *is* better than the blue album, that's from someone that didn't get into Pinkerton until 10 years after getting into the blue album. Nothing on blue can stand up to Pink Triangle or Falling for You.

Dustin not giving a shit about poker is wild. Nothing better than chain smoking lucky strike and playing poker

Colin — it’s taken me TWELVE attempts at Dark Souls 3 over 1.5 years on and off, and this week it finally clicked. Not exaggerating. I was definitely not a ‘Souls’ player. I’ve learnt this: the first hour of these games is awful. Dark, hard, dull. I’m not totally and utterly in love with DS3, five hours in. It probably is your type of game, like a 3d Metroid. Castles, shortcuts, intertwined levels. Just be really, really patient.

dysenteric?

Colin should definitely jump back into Elden Ring. “Join the Serpent King as family. Together we will devour the very gods.” 😀

Probably filling his jar

Why does Dustin stop talking for soooo long these days?

The guy comparing Nintendo to Sony on remakes IS in fact nuts. No one played the Wii U so re-releasing all those games gives a much larger population the chance to experience some awesome games that went missed by most. At the same time they've still managed to constantly pump out new & innovative games for the Switch at the same time. Sony just keeps "remaking" games that are barely a decade old and have next to no 1st party games exclusive for this generation. Relying on 3rd party hits & milking the same handful of IPs for all they're worth with minimal effort. It's a different & more grimey imo. Nintendo has it's problems but that's not one

Don’t you think it’s a little disrespectful to blast out the father of our country? One does not simply go balls deep into Mt. Vernon… Surely you have to show the proper respect and let the General put his wooden teeth on the nightstand and blast you out for God n Country?

I get why Chris is bullish on Halo coming to Playstation soon but I really feel like that will be one of the last or one of the few Xbox exclusive franchises that will stay that way. Xbox arguably only exists because of Halo, it would be a weird move to put the franchise that is the reason for your box existing on the competitor's system. But I guess this whole situation is weird anyways, so whatever
