Sacred Symbols, Episode 159: Wire Act
Added 2021-07-16 16:00:02 +0000 UTCFresh off the further reveal of the slick-looking timed-PS5 exclusive Deathloop comes word of another Bethesda-published timed exclusive that's being pushed further into the horizon. Tango Gamework's PlayStation 5 horror project Ghostwire: Tokyo has been delayed into 2022, perhaps not a huge surprise, but one worth delving into particularly when it comes to where this game fits in the PlayStation 5 catalog to come. How annoying must it be for Microsoft to have its new prized jewel publisher be working without the full force of two of its teams? We discuss. Plus: A new Nintendo-themed fighting game has everyone talking, Persona is reading a salvo of announcements in celebration of its 25th anniversary, Polyphony Digital may be quietly revving-up a Gran Turismo 7 beta, and more. Then: Will PlayStation Experience ever return? Have we ever used PlayStation 5's 'Accolades' system? Is there such a thing as the Reverse Platinum Trophy? Who will be hungriest by the end of the show?

2021-07-23 03:20:32 +0000 UTCI think yall will be surprised on the possible competitive viability of nick all stars. Slapcity, made by Ludocity, is amazing and Ludocity is adding wave dashing and other melee advanced mechanics.

2021-07-20 18:30:50 +0000 UTCI don’t think Chris is thinking BIG enough…he gives the impression of someone with social anxiety, which may impair his efficacy on any sort of live tour.

2021-07-20 13:02:24 +0000 UTCYou must prep for your live show audience.

2021-07-20 01:35:27 +0000 UTCI've never heard of this.

Colin Moriarty
2021-07-19 23:39:16 +0000 UTCI'm fine with it, but I can't stand the characters. And that'll kill an RPG quick.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-19 23:39:10 +0000 UTCBrutal.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-19 23:38:55 +0000 UTCThank you, I appreciate that.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-19 23:38:48 +0000 UTCI am with you.

2021-07-19 23:38:39 +0000 UTCI refuse to click on this.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-19 23:38:31 +0000 UTCSeems redundant, it's in the audio.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-19 23:38:24 +0000 UTCAs a lifelong Pittsburgher the discussion around the Pittsburghese / yinzer dialect was hilarious. I'd like to say it's exaggerated since I rarely hear anyone speak like that, but words like crick are definitely pervasive. Or... check out the Pittsburgh Dad YouTube for more yinzer culture... https://youtu.be/MJfNI9DppP4
Greg Bruce
2021-07-19 22:50:30 +0000 UTCHi guys, just a suggestion. I think your show notes should include credits. At least the participants names.

2021-07-19 20:56:53 +0000 UTCWhen Colin was talking about the iPhone alert noise, I shit you not, my phone received an alert and played that noise. At the exact same time as Colin. I almost ejaculated.

2021-07-19 17:09:01 +0000 UTCColin, I’ve been following you since the beginning and that is because you are so fucking good at being you. Sorry that got cheesy but it is what it is…and as far as the unqualified opinions of you and your audience go, again a classic will do…fuck em!

2021-07-19 15:00:04 +0000 UTCHoly shit, imagining a 20 something year old white guy walking on campus when suddenly, "HEAD STRONGGGG TO TAKE YOU ONNN!!!" blares out his pocket.

2021-07-19 12:06:11 +0000 UTCHold up! Colin, you didn't even like the Battle System of FFX? Curious your thoughts on that.

Kelly McWilliams
2021-07-17 22:20:05 +0000 UTCThere’s already a powerful portable system called the GPD win made by a different company, Chris already has his wish made by someone else rather than Valve.

2021-07-17 01:52:17 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome. <3
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:52:10 +0000 UTCTo each his own. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:52:03 +0000 UTCWhy not just leave the multiplayer to other franchises!
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:51:52 +0000 UTC...
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:51:38 +0000 UTCThat's insane.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:51:34 +0000 UTCI actually get his point, that there could be a visual dissonance when something is both filmic and running at 60, which films don't.

Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:49:27 +0000 UTCWe'll know soon enough.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:49:23 +0000 UTCIt's gotta be, right?
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:49:17 +0000 UTCWell, there it is. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:49:10 +0000 UTCThat's the hope!
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:49:00 +0000 UTCHeh heh.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:48:55 +0000 UTCThat's not a show you ask to go on. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:48:49 +0000 UTCYou would.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:48:41 +0000 UTCWe'll definitely record it, but it's not going to be streamed.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:48:37 +0000 UTCYes.
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:48:29 +0000 UTC<3
Colin Moriarty
2021-07-17 01:48:23 +0000 UTCWill it be streamed on youtube?

2021-07-17 01:28:11 +0000 UTCAs a Cuban American thank you for your words this week
Nicholas Coso
2021-07-17 01:13:16 +0000 UTCDisagree. Final Fantasy X is my favourite game of all time and I’d be psyched for a third game. I earned the platinum trophy late last year and the game still holds up (minus some of the voice acting). The world of Spira is so beautiful and interesting and I’d love to see it expanded upon. While I agree, Colin, that the first 6 Final Fantasy games need to be made playable on current systems and FF7R needs to be completed first, another FFX game would get me wet. Straight up.

2021-07-17 01:02:27 +0000 UTCA little correction on the Resident Evil part. The first PvP multiplayer centric RE game was Operation Raccoon City back in the PS3 and 360 days. Also, the only time, in my opinion, is when Capcom made a successful multiplayer centric RE game was Outbreak. So why not just make another Outbreak style game? Especially since a lot of people have been calling for it.

2021-07-17 00:12:33 +0000 UTCA portable PS4, you mean... PlayStation 4-table?

2021-07-16 21:50:52 +0000 UTC71 minutes…that’s how long the MGS4 ending cutscene is
Brian Presley
2021-07-16 21:45:40 +0000 UTCThe guy writing in about Ghost of Tsushima being better at a lower frame rate sounds a little bit out to lunch. That's just wack, with all do respect to them On a different note about important situations the media is ignoring, South Africa needs media attention and help Great episode Boys!!

2021-07-16 21:34:44 +0000 UTCI hope Sony would bring back portable again too.

Derek Alcott
2021-07-16 20:25:06 +0000 UTCI was hoping you would discuss Doki Doki LC. Are you still working on it or have you fell off the game?
Bogey Zero
2021-07-16 19:57:20 +0000 UTCColin you call yourself brash which is the same as calling yourself an asshole right? Because you are one, plain and simple. You say you don’t attack people, you attack their work. Your most recent attack was for somebody’s way of reviewing games. Aren’t reviews inherently subjective? Reviews are opinions, so isn’t attacking somebody’s opinion technically attacking them? Every fan base has toxic people, yours included, believe it or not. I don’t think you’re sending people to attack other people on Twitter, but I think you’re blind to the fact that you’re opening a door for harrasment. Screenshotting somebody’s tweet, that I’m sure you went out of your way to find, to show your audience as you attack their opinion, is in no way constructive and is purely an attack. You say you’re calmer these days now but that’s not it, you just don’t care who you hurt, because you’re hurt. Move on man.
2021-07-16 19:53:27 +0000 UTCI immediately went to fix it after you called me out 😂😂😂😂😂

2021-07-16 18:44:51 +0000 UTCI did a 40 minute video on YouTube going through blue box’s website and their deleted indiedb pages using wayback machine. This studio is definitely a front for something.

2021-07-16 17:53:10 +0000 UTCHope the show is successful, that way the LSM tour can hit more of the tri state area in the future!
Stephen Forgione
2021-07-16 17:50:16 +0000 UTCHonestly, I may rescind my subscription if you don't now shit on Communism in every episode. Then again, you could just smack around any number of game devs every time and effectively meet that criteria.
Max Stahl
2021-07-16 17:39:39 +0000 UTCHey colin why not try to get on joe Rogan's show again to talk about the Tencent topic? Also lol at the jim ryan topic , but I would do the same thing in his position. Why be anything but sterile when you get nitpicked apart for whatever you say? Side Bar: Hi chris metro exodus is really boring. What is the best way to play stlye wise for the game to be fun? Becuase I feel like in doing it wrong 😂😂
