Sacred Symbols+, Episode 99: Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke x E3

Welcome! On this 99th episode of + (although Colin says it's 100 for some reason), we draw in MrMattyPlays onto Sacred Symbols for the very first time! Why, you ask?! To talk about E3, of course! How do we think everyone did? How did Microsoft do, specifically? How can Sony respond? Which games are we most looking forward to for the rest of the year? We cover a lot of ground on this much-requested crossover episode, and we hope you enjoy it.

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 99: Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke x E3

Let the man breath a bit 😅. He did say there will be a spoilercast...

Big Boss Games

but people that talk about games usually have reasons why they like one more than another. I genuinely can't even think of why someone would like 2016 more so I'm curious. Especially since he's mentioned it on at least 3 separate podcasts

Hugo Stiglitz

But usually opinions can be explained. Haven't heard yours yet other than hating clank and the spider tank. I would hope that's not the only reason

Hugo Stiglitz

Indeed.

Colin Moriarty

Opinions.

Colin Moriarty

We'll see what comes over and what doesn't.

Colin Moriarty

Perhaps so.

Colin Moriarty

The sun brings my Italian out.

Colin Moriarty

You can't argue with taste. Many people prefer terminator 1 over terminator 2. And many think terminator 2 is better on every front. Everybody has there own opinion...

Big Boss Games

I truly do not understand how anyone could prefer ratchet 2016 to rift apart. I can't even think of a possible reason or way 2016 is better. In my eyes rift apart does literally everything better. Gameplay, combat, level design, world building, story and characters are better by a mile, set pieces are also better by a mile, it's longer, and even clanks sections are not only shorter but more fun as well. I really didn't care for the dumb drone swapping and repetitive Victor chases clank had in 2016 so even knowing that Colin hates clank parts in RA, I still cannot fathom how Colin could hold such an indefensible opinion that 2016 is better

Hugo Stiglitz

Ben said it best on Defining Duke…”Sony is still playing Console Wars.”

BlindRiot

If the rumors of Sony bringing their PS5 exclusives to PS4 are true, I'm wondering if Sony is doing this because they know they won't be able to produce as many PS5's to meet the demand.. for years.

Jonny Sousa

Just listened to the show while working in the garden. Fantastic show! I hope we get more of these crossover shows in the future. Matty matches the SS crew perfectly! Ps: Watched a bit on YouTube too, and I have to say, Colin doesn't look like the ghost of Sparta anymore 😜. He looks healthy and even has a sun shade! Awesome 😄

Big Boss Games

Thank you. <3

Colin Moriarty

Yes.

Colin Moriarty

We understand the nature of the deal.

Colin Moriarty

I can't count.

Colin Moriarty

He knows his place.

Colin Moriarty

I really love everything about Last Stand Media! Waking up, making some fresh coffee, and looking forward to this episode as I do with all the content here.

gnawtyFOX

I see Colin is a man of culture, being a Yankees fan

Jose Horrach

Great EP except for one thing. Spiderman being exclusive is because of the deal between Disney/Marvel and Sony Pictures. Spiderman gaming wise is for the majority exclusive to Sony for this reason. This is not equivalent to Microsoft's buying of Bethesda. Microsoft is just swinging their big d#&$ energy around shutting out a lot of people who love Bethesda game franchises. This is not the same as the exclusively of Spiderman.

Joseph Cerini

99 problems but the episode # ain't 1.

Frank G.

Lol. Dustin barely spoke

Andrew Christensen

Thank you! We're not really Nintendo people.

Colin Moriarty

Agreed.

Colin Moriarty

LOL.

Colin Moriarty

Another way you could frame this is to say: Hey guys, you must have missed this information. See how much more communicative that is?

Colin Moriarty

Ohh!

Colin Moriarty

Well, I long ago brought up the idea that the publishers should combine to make a streaming service, but it's fun to bring it up again in light of recent news. I'd love to see them do something like that.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. <3

Colin Moriarty

They will come!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you for your kind words.

Colin Moriarty

No, not at all.

Colin Moriarty

Choo-choo.

Colin Moriarty

No combat is awesome.

Colin Moriarty

?

Colin Moriarty

Mixed metaphor.

Colin Moriarty

We'll see. Another studio I don't really care about, truth be told.

Colin Moriarty

For sure.

Colin Moriarty

Game Pass is a great deal.

Colin Moriarty

We'll see how it works out.

Colin Moriarty

I think people are just used to a slow, lumbering Xbox with few good games.

Colin Moriarty

Yes.

Colin Moriarty

That's Dustin's fault.

Colin Moriarty

Powerman 5000.

Colin Moriarty

ACG is no longer on Defining Duke.

Colin Moriarty

=\

Colin Moriarty

Who cares.

Colin Moriarty

It is.

Colin Moriarty

Great crossover episode. Although I am a little bummed there was no talks on Nintendo (Metroid Dread looks awesome), Xbox looks to be in a good place in 2021.

Christian

this cross over makes marvel look like child’s play

Geo_AW

Yo Chris and Dustin can you PLEASE let us know when you’re going to run the raid I wanna watch that shit. Pleaseeee stream it!

Cory Towler

I wish you guys would do a little more research about the demon souls coming to ps4. https://twitter.com/manfightdragon/status/1405731726958108674 it’s been debunked for a lil while now

Shawn

“And I just want people to gird their loins.” OHHHHHHH!!!! 😂😂

Brandon Soto

Colin, you mentioned a great idea when you talked about publishers like capcom and square enix and other Japanese publishers having their own joint conference. What if that could actually be Sony’s gamepass answer. Obviously that’s a pipe dream but imagine a PlayStation gamepass where you day 1 access to all square enix, capcom, from software, etc. games. A Japanese alliance.

Colton McKinney

Now this is an Avengers level episode. I wish these round table episodes happened more often. They remind me of old weekly Gamescoop episodes when it was Daemon and the different console editorial teams.

Joshua Brown

Like Matty and Colin Together a lot. More shows with you two together please.

Robbie Agnew

This was such a great episode! Love you guys and appreciate the work you do!

Rick the Turnip

Jason’s article on the blue box studio silent hill thing raised some red flags for me. The guy running the studio said Sony approached him after they saw his failed Kickstarter that raised 207 dollars. That makes no sense.

Kenneth Oms

It's episode 100 because Collin says it's episode 100 get on board boys

Wayde

So Colin, Everwild got rebooted partially because the developers said they hit roadblocks trying to develop the whole game and make it engaging with no combat (I assume they weren’t trying to copy a Journey-style game or a walking sim). Thoughts, since you’re a proponent of making games with no combat?

Caleb Greer

Matt just said it lol

Donny C

Or because Xbox just had a showing and there is nothing in the near future for Sony to talk about... But sure

AllTooEasy_

The shoe is on the dead horse

Jake Z

It’s telling when PlayStation podcasts are always talking about Xbox

NotJack

IO Interactive is making a AAA game for Xbox, Project Dragon. Look out for them to be purchased by MS.

Donny C

Oblivion, Fallout 3/New Vegas and Skyrim notoriously run poorly on PS3. Even if there’s heritage, and Chris and Matty have said as such, it’s not a good one.

Stephen Forgione

Sony having the movie rights to Spider-man, Marvel’s most popular hero by a wide margin, has effectively made him a Playstation exclusive character. It’s only now that they’re starting to use that as leverage in negotiation with Disney, since Disney got the game license back from Activision. Spider-Man is also still exclusively coming to the Sony version of Square Enix’s Avengers, further proving that the movie deal definitely has power in the game space.

Stephen Forgione

This “games with a heritage” quote is getting a lot of shine. Oblivion dropped in 2006, fallout 3 in 2008 and Skyrim came out 10 years ago. How long is a heritage? Morrowind came out 20 years ago at the end of this year. I get Chris’ point that Morrowind is proof of Xbox and Bethesda’s history but 10-15 years of oblivion-Fallout 4 is nothing to scoff at and could be seen as Heritage.

AllTooEasy_

I love my PS5 but it’s my Series S (game pass machine) that gets majority of my time, Like a Dragon coming to GP best moment of E3 for me, good times for both consoles I think.

David Kramme

Colin as a playstation fan I must punch back and say Xbox has done nothing to make me freak out. They still dont have the ability to make the type of games I like or at the level of quality I like. Cant speak for everyone but as a playstation fan I'm still looking down at buying an xbox , tho they are getting much better. But yeah as a playstation I'm not "nervous" at all becuase Xbox can buy all the studios they want but they STILL dont have a Naughty Dog , they STILL dont have an insomniac, gorilla games ,sony santa monica ect.. Hell to me they dont even have a studio on the level of sucker punch. But this narrative that playstation fans are nervous is weird to me becuase I have not seen it anywhere.

Big titty drinker

I agree that a lot of people are having some type of crisis now that Microsoft is making big moves lol. As someone who predominantly plays on Xbox it’s funny to me but I get it. I literally bought a PS3 for Last of Us and a PS4 for Spider-Man. The smart thing Xbox did was make the Series S for someone who wants to play Xbox exclusives but plays mostly on PlayStation. I expect Microsoft to continue to have a cheaper option as the console generations go on unless game pass goes on Switch and PlayStation. I’m happy that the big three are all in a good place finally and competition is back.

Antonio Pereira

Can you dig it?!

David Graham

Title says 98 on the apple RSS feed

KiteAsHigh

Worlds truly collide

Jack Doheny

Kinda sad my man ACG wasn’t on this but still a fun episode so far

Alex

I'm sure him and Colin did an episode and Dustin and matty have done a couple.

Bobby T

I fixed it. Thanks! -Dustin

Dustin Furman

math class 🤔

Digital-Bath

What episode is this?? 98,99, or 100?!

Brandon Breeland

What does this mean? Silent Hill confirmed?!

Shawn Yorn

I believe it's actually 99

Zane B

Titles says episode 98, description says episode 99, Colin says episode 100. 😂

Monty Pearson

The title says episode 98, the description says 99, but Colin says 100. Who do we believe???

Kevin G

Wasn't matty on an episode a couple of months back?
