Sacred Symbols, Episode 131: Our Most Anticipated Games of 2021
Added 2021-01-01 17:00:07 +0000 UTCThank the maker: 2020 is behind us! Now, 2021 sprawls before us with 12 promising months of gaming goodness on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR, and even Vita! (Okay, probably not the Vita.) To celebrate the exciting and unknown, we thought we'd do a special show dedicated entirely to the 2021 catalog of games coming to PlayStation that we simply can't wait to get our hands on. We present to you 13 of our own selections, and you -- our beautiful audience -- gave us plenty of your own additions, too. So let's look forward. Let's be thorough. And let's have a little bit of fun before half of these games inevitably get delayed or otherwise disappoint us. (Only kidding... we hope.)

One warranty card for said Swedish penis pump... signed by Austin Powers

2021-01-07 20:19:08 +0000 UTCI went a HUGE 007 watchathon these past two months (got the bluray collection for black friday), so my GF and I just rewatched the Austin Powers trilogy. Great callback to the "I'm in a nutshell" from the first, Colin. Cannot believe how funny that first one still is.

2021-01-07 20:18:39 +0000 UTCCan't say I can give any real detail (and in all honestly he's a friend so not my place anyway!) I do know Stewart/JAW are still making games as a UK indie, currently working on the new Sniper Elite VR.

2021-01-05 21:18:15 +0000 UTCNo Silksong is the upcoming sequel to Hollow Knight. Started out as a DLC but got too big and is now just a new game.

2021-01-05 20:47:05 +0000 UTCI see. I'll need to look further into this, 'cause I'm confused.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:44:30 +0000 UTCThere's definitely something more to that story, but we may never know.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:44:08 +0000 UTCYes.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:55 +0000 UTCI don't even get the reference. -_-
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:52 +0000 UTCKilling Floor LOOKS cool, but I know it's not for me.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:44 +0000 UTCWord!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:34 +0000 UTCI thought that was out?
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:25 +0000 UTCHeh heh.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:18 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to it. The game, that is.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:14 +0000 UTCThe Platinum (much like the 1,000 GS, I assume) is very annoying.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:43:02 +0000 UTCThat's enough, Miles!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:42:31 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to jumping in.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:42:24 +0000 UTCFresh, new socks and tees every day sounds nice.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:41:54 +0000 UTCNever question me again.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:41:20 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome. Thank you for your support!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:41:04 +0000 UTCI suspect it will. =)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:40:02 +0000 UTCAnd shouted-out twice!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:39:55 +0000 UTC=)
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:39:43 +0000 UTCSometimes, you've just gotta trust me. I listen to all audience feedback, but I let the anti-Dustin stuff go in one ear and out the other, if I'm being honest. I know what he's capable of, and the value he adds. Glad you agree!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:39:25 +0000 UTCYou too!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:38:51 +0000 UTCNerd.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:38:48 +0000 UTCHappy New Year!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:38:45 +0000 UTCEnjoy!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:38:35 +0000 UTCYou too!
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:38:30 +0000 UTCAwesome! We're excited to get it out into the world.
Colin Moriarty
2021-01-05 20:38:25 +0000 UTCNote on the Oddworld/JAW stuff. Just Add Water are a separate studio that had the IP for a bit (did the Strangers Wrath game). Based in the north of England, the owner is an old acquaintance of mine (non-gaming related).

2021-01-05 11:46:12 +0000 UTCAbout Nakamura, I agree Colin, there is something weird about her departure. It came right after her going viral due to her E3 presentation. It seemed like she was shopping around for a job after that. To Chris’ point, the first trailer seems like her vision for the game which was supposed to be maybe a third person game, and it seems like it was rebooted against her wishes and she quit

2021-01-04 17:25:20 +0000 UTCCorrection Tom Brady QB for the Tampa bay Bucs lol I know I’m late
Raymond keys
2021-01-04 16:55:00 +0000 UTCGreat listen boys. Chris is right, Left 4 Dead is a rare game with PVP that allows players to play as the monsters, but Killing Floor 2 is a game in a similar vein, very fun as well.
TL
2021-01-04 03:33:39 +0000 UTCAnother great episode. And I managed to farm TokoTokos on Ni No Kuni remastered and get Oliver up to level 82 while listening so that was nice.
2021-01-03 22:06:35 +0000 UTCDamn. No love for Hollow Knight Silksong in this community. How disappointing
Bogey Zero
2021-01-03 18:35:31 +0000 UTCA “Not everybody hates Chris” trophy would be awesome!!!! 😁

2021-01-03 03:52:17 +0000 UTCAh man, no doubt all of those loser journalists are gonna whip up a storm when Hogwarts Legacy releases. Nobody's gonna give two shits though and it will sell millions.

2021-01-02 22:58:18 +0000 UTCI’ve been playing mass effect 1 now on my series x trying to get all the achievements. I will say it sometimes runs like it’s the art direction of into the spider verse. I never played it on PS3 so I’ll have to check that out once I try to platinum it.
Adamthm
2021-01-02 18:04:49 +0000 UTCI'm pumped for the Nier remake. I never played the original, but I fell in love with Automata. That game has hands down the best story I've ever seen in a game. It's not perfect in the combat department, but overall it's brilliant.
Miles Williams
2021-01-02 17:09:10 +0000 UTCI started reading the Harry Potter books again recently. I only read the first three when I was in 7th grade, and then "got too cool" for them. I'm enjoying them just as much as I did when I was a kid, and I'm 32 now. They're really good!

2021-01-02 16:49:53 +0000 UTCSquare enix already confirmed its their own version of spiderman and it has nothing to do with insomniacs spiderman.
Brandon williams
2021-01-02 15:33:14 +0000 UTCI believe Damon Dash also claimed to do the 1 time sock thing as well. That or white tees. I forget but it was on his episode of MTV Cribs. Didn’t expect Scarlet Nexus from you Col. I’ve also never played a Tales game so I might have to check those out. To Dustin’s point, yes shame on you guys for not putting Horizon on your lists. Robot dinos go boom indeed.
NeO JD
2021-01-02 15:24:03 +0000 UTCWhen/if square enix incorporates Spider-man into the Avengers game, do you think Insomniac will add a reference or storyline about it in Spider-man 2? I mean I imagine it'll be the Insomniac spider-man, because why else would the character be exclusive to the playstation version of Avengers.

2021-01-02 04:11:39 +0000 UTCNot to be a dick, but to address when you said you shouldn’t have listened to anyone and had Dustin and Matty do the FFVII Remake Spoilercast in the Spring—I would assume most of us subscribe to “>Colin’s< Last Stand” to hear >your< thoughts and opinions. I (and likely many others) wouldn’t have listened to it if you weren’t involved and would have found the move rather disappointing. Obviously stuff you would never play is different, but you’re a self-espoused huge FF fan. My 2¢ as a day-one Patron. Edit: This was relevant at the time of writing, but I suppose now it’s no longer “Colin’s Last Stand.” Don’t know how you checkmated me from the future, but well played.

2021-01-02 01:54:21 +0000 UTCThis was so fun to listen too. I enjoy the present, but I always enjoy looking forward. 2021 is going to be an amazing year for video games! Thank you for helping us all get through 2020.

2021-01-01 23:43:05 +0000 UTCLove the Hitman 3 shoutout. There really isn't anything like it. It doesn't overstay its welcome, is highly repayable, and might be one of the best GAAS games this gen while also being a great single player game. Hitman 3 also has a "whodunit" mission like Knives Out, which sounds amazing.
Frank
2021-01-01 23:36:16 +0000 UTCNice to hear Dustin starting to be more in tune with you guys. While I'm barely on the Discord, I especially like his snide remarks toward listeners because of Discord (think it was done on the FFVIIR episode too). Adds another level of personality and connection, and is something unique to him.
Jason Bolla
2021-01-01 21:15:41 +0000 UTCI just want to give a shout out to Dustin. I wasn't sure at first when he started popping up on the show, mostly because I loved the dynamic between Chris and Colin so much, but I think he's really starting to find his voice and rhythm. I really like that the episodes can have the classic two perspectives and switch to three sometimes. Adds a lot of value.
