I love that this episode starts with guns, explosives, presidents, assassinations, Trump/Nazis, jews and Biden talk. Great show.

I know!… I came here to check the comments lol

So fucking weird to hear them talk about president assassinations right before the attempt on Trump shortly after this.

Hey Jonathan. As someone who has become a game developer, what I have observed is that the answer to this is complicated. Firstly, games are complicated to make. If you consider the fact that it is the marriage of cutting-edge tech with video, audio, software bringing their own level of challenges, it's a miracle games get made at all. Adding to this, feature creep is a real thing. There is this weird need for many developers to keep adding features to their games. Halfway through, this feature gets cancelled because it doesn't fit the narrative, isn't performant enough or takes too long. But one of the biggest reasons for delays is project management. In my limited experience, it is very hard to collaborate and manage big teams with varied disciplines in a game development pipeline. Since you are handling so many different creative teams, it gets harder the more people you add to the team and the larger your scope is.

I have a sincere question for the LSM community. Either fellow patrons or Colin, Dustin ,Jaffe, whoever reads this who may know. If we have too many people making games, and the tools/engines that are used to make games are more advanced and easy to use as ever. Why are games taking longer and longer to make now days? Shouldn’t it be the opposite?

This is for those hanging on till the end of the episode… Gay thoughts, Colin vs. Jaffe… Who is the top, who is the bottom? 😂 I think Jaffe is public bottom, private top. I think Colin is a classic dismissal of this, instead offering a mold of his penis, in absence of himself (too busy with Knockback… oh, nevermind 😉).

Speaking to the question Jaffe gave on who could be fired/shutdown, on the Sony side, it breaks my heart to agree with Colin… Media Molecule would be my 1st target. I was not a fan of the floaty controls of LittleBIGPlanet BUT I was a HUGE fan of their Play, Create, Share mantra (a more internet savvy alternative to Super Mario Maker). As far as Dreams, I was there from the beginning, and felt confused by the lack of PC support (of all games?!). I think Media Molecule made a STELLAR title on Vita (LBP) and a wonderfully quirky one (Tearaway) and prided themselves on outside the box thinking. I love them for that but feel like it no longer makes business sense for them to have the same level of freedom they once had. In a perfect world, IF they are looking at a downgrade/shutdown situation, I would hope that the offer would be extended to employees to assist on Astrobot (as a franchise) or merge with other developers. Being fired sucks and nobody wishes that on anybody.

i love david. in fact, i petition right here and now that while dustin is on paternity leave, that jaffe fills in for him on every episode of 'sacred symbols, a playstation podcast' and 'punching up.'

I disagree with Colin, on reducing the # of game releases (as a solution to the complete deluge of releases now, which will only get worse with time), but don’t have a solution to it, myself. 🤷‍♂️ This may be a bit Nostradamus, if we reached a point of having a universal console or shared format (similar to the simplicity of watching a film/listening to music), this daunting scenario could smooth itself out. But, yeah, we are admittedly a ways from that potential future.

Steam has the best store front and ecosystem in my opinion but only if you have bought enough games for it's back and to get a sense for what will vibe with you... And you have to use discernment and learn how their system is structured to sift through the trash.

This was fantastic!

Andrew

Personally I love the political and government talks between y’all. All of this stuff flows down in some way to the economy and gaming so it is relevant.

It's gonna be a good day

The PS5 Pro will enable better performance unless the CPU is what's holding it back. Also, streaming is terrible.

Issac Woosley

Love it when these two are together!
