Sacred Symbols+, Episode 99: Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke x E3
Added 2021-06-22 16:01:03 +0000 UTCWelcome! 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.

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

2021-06-30 20:36:09 +0000 UTCbut 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

2021-06-30 12:38:12 +0000 UTCBut 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

Colin Moriarty
2021-06-28 20:50:22 +0000 UTCYou 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
2021-06-28 05:27:20 +0000 UTCI 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

2021-06-28 03:08:10 +0000 UTCBen said it best on Defining Duke…”Sony is still playing Console Wars.”
BlindRiot
2021-06-27 14:32:58 +0000 UTCIf 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
2021-06-27 02:51:33 +0000 UTCJust 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 😄

2021-06-24 12:22:31 +0000 UTCI see Colin is a man of culture, being a Yankees fan
Jose Horrach
2021-06-24 02:36:42 +0000 UTCGreat 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.

2021-06-23 18:25:48 +0000 UTCAnother 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
2021-06-23 18:25:44 +0000 UTCOhh!
Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:25:21 +0000 UTCWell, 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
2021-06-23 18:23:56 +0000 UTCWe'll see. Another studio I don't really care about, truth be told.
Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:23:41 +0000 UTCFor sure.
Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:23:29 +0000 UTCGame Pass is a great deal.
Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:23:15 +0000 UTCWe'll see how it works out.
Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:23:07 +0000 UTCI think people are just used to a slow, lumbering Xbox with few good games.
Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:23:01 +0000 UTCYes.

Colin Moriarty
2021-06-23 18:21:42 +0000 UTCGreat 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.

2021-06-23 04:52:29 +0000 UTCI 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

2021-06-23 01:03:07 +0000 UTC“And I just want people to gird their loins.” OHHHHHHH!!!! 😂😂
Brandon Soto
2021-06-23 00:54:17 +0000 UTCColin, 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
2021-06-22 22:28:14 +0000 UTCNow 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
2021-06-22 22:21:34 +0000 UTCLike Matty and Colin Together a lot. More shows with you two together please.
Robbie Agnew
2021-06-22 21:41:22 +0000 UTCThis was such a great episode! Love you guys and appreciate the work you do!
Rick the Turnip
2021-06-22 21:26:44 +0000 UTCJason’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
2021-06-22 20:43:06 +0000 UTCIt's episode 100 because Collin says it's episode 100 get on board boys
Wayde
2021-06-22 20:40:07 +0000 UTCSo 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?

Donny C
2021-06-22 18:30:38 +0000 UTCOr because Xbox just had a showing and there is nothing in the near future for Sony to talk about... But sure

NotJack
2021-06-22 18:10:46 +0000 UTCIO Interactive is making a AAA game for Xbox, Project Dragon. Look out for them to be purchased by MS.
Donny C
2021-06-22 18:04:55 +0000 UTCOblivion, 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
2021-06-22 17:43:37 +0000 UTCSony 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
2021-06-22 17:42:29 +0000 UTCThis “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_
2021-06-22 17:37:25 +0000 UTCI 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
2021-06-22 17:23:42 +0000 UTCColin 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
2021-06-22 17:11:04 +0000 UTCI 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.
