Sacred Symbols+, Episode 206 | Gather Ye Sacred Dukes
Added 2022-07-12 16:01:03 +0000 UTCWe know you guys and gals love it when we get Sacred Symbols and Defining Duke together, and we figured since it's a little slow in the industry right now, now's the time to strike! As such, please welcome Defining Duke: An Xbox Podcast's co-hosts -- Matty and Cog -- to Sacred Symbols+. Today's two hour episode winds around a bit, as we talk about our feelings on Xbox and PlayStation's current standing in the industry, how they compare to each other both favorably and unfavorably, and more. We also talk about PlayStation's nebulous release future, the perceived quality gap between Xbox and PlayStation first party releases, and the games we're most excited to play, both later in 2022 and beyond.

I really agree with Dustin. Sony is trying to Microsoft, and that sucks. I really miss the underdog, we'll take any crazy game approach. That''s just my take.

2022-07-17 22:39:10 +0000 UTCDear LSM crew. You often use the word “cacophony”, and always use it incorrectly. It refers to a chaos of sound and sound only, hence “phony” in the word. Now please stop. Stand down. 😗

2022-07-17 17:20:04 +0000 UTCDid anyone catch the YouTube channel that covers fights that Colin was talking about?

2022-07-16 12:06:40 +0000 UTCThank you.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-15 17:21:03 +0000 UTCSo we gotta do this more often right? Fantastic episode, one of my favorites in awhile.

2022-07-14 21:39:19 +0000 UTCLove these episodes. I did just pick up a Series S so looking forward to diving into the Dukes content!

2022-07-14 01:08:29 +0000 UTCDefinitely one of my favorite episodes.

Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 20:56:24 +0000 UTCExcited to dive in! Thanks in advance to the whole crew, (especially the patriarch), for making this happen!

2022-07-13 18:33:41 +0000 UTCI didn’t hear it in this conversation, but don’t underestimate how huge of a draw World of Warcraft is and will be over the next several years for Game Pass. Millions of subs, which will no doubt balloon for the next expansion, exclusively on Game Pass or for purchase. Then Diablo IV and Overwatch 2, (if, big if, not a disaster), while multi-plat, will still be huge earners. The Blizzard acquisition to me is more important to Game Pass than Activision, if the house gets back in order. Chris is right, Bungie is the king of live service games. Until 2023 when Xbox Game Studios is. Great discussion!

2022-07-13 17:34:12 +0000 UTCOh, we can do it more than that!
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 16:44:58 +0000 UTCI think they're different situations -- one being a sequel and one being a spiritual successor by the creator of the original... plus one is active and vibrant, the other abandoned -- but to each his own.

Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 16:44:04 +0000 UTCThere are millions who got the Red Ring and bought an Xbox One, nonetheless a Series X.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 16:44:00 +0000 UTCThank you!
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 16:43:46 +0000 UTCI think we can even do better than that.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 16:43:42 +0000 UTCGreat combined episode gentleman!
John Hanke
2022-07-13 14:39:59 +0000 UTCThese would be great quarterly
Bryce Mccloskey
2022-07-13 13:59:36 +0000 UTCHave to disagree heavily with matty statement about gamers have short term memory. There are thousands if not millions of us who were burned by the red ring and haven't thought of buying anything Microsoft again.

2022-07-13 12:26:20 +0000 UTCThis was a really great episode. Strong discussions all around. I love it when the Avengers assemble.
Kenneth Oms
2022-07-13 11:34:38 +0000 UTCGood stuff. Love seeing you guys together
Omar Rosa
2022-07-13 11:33:27 +0000 UTCGreat conversation, as always! One question though: Chris said regarding The Callisto Protocol, if it can reach even half as good as Dead Space 1 was for that time then we’re in for something really cool. Why is it OK that The Callisto Protocol can explicitly copy ideas from the original Dead Space, but when Horizon Forbidden West, a proper sequel, is manifestly better than Horizon Zero Dawn in literally every single way, it gets roasted over the coals? It just seems like there’s a double standard these days for PlayStation Exclusives and the “more of the same” criticism for many of them that’s being parroted by many seems incredibly shallow.
Jim Capron
2022-07-13 11:14:39 +0000 UTCThis was fantastic! Definitely want to echo that this would be awesome to hear all of you together on a quarterly or even 6 month basis.

Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:59:36 +0000 UTCThe best way to celebrate these old games (like Resistance, Infamous, Killzone, etc.) is to get them on PS4 in the best possible 'remaster' shape, and let them live there for time immemorial. The biggest mistake they're making is not urgently accomplishing this goal, for all of their old stuff.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:59:30 +0000 UTCThanks!

2022-07-13 00:58:56 +0000 UTCThank you.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:58:52 +0000 UTCXbox isn't editing quite a bit that Sony is, including our game.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:58:43 +0000 UTCThat seems easy enough to hit.

Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:58:16 +0000 UTCScheduling is definitely the prohibitive factor, but we wanna get together more.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:58:13 +0000 UTCThank you!
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:57:58 +0000 UTCCould be fun.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:57:51 +0000 UTCWe go long once a week on Sacred! I don't wanna make everyone stay forever.
Colin Moriarty
2022-07-13 00:57:47 +0000 UTCDidn't we do an episode? I don't even remember.

MostlyCharlie
2022-07-13 00:13:57 +0000 UTCWell that episode was….something….thank God for Dustin bringing levity on BOTH sides.
Jeremy Cochran
2022-07-13 00:02:39 +0000 UTCThese are the best. I feel like one of these round tables with all five of you like once a quarter would be amazing
Ryan Daly
2022-07-12 23:03:22 +0000 UTCWhat frustrates me the most from both companies is the ignoring their old IP. Dozens of franchises just sitting there. And I still believe most gamers are done with open-world or live-service games. If that’s Sony’s future, then I’ll probably be out.
Brandon Soto
2022-07-12 22:01:05 +0000 UTCLoved this show :)
miniAJ
2022-07-12 21:33:10 +0000 UTCThanks for this one guys! You're killing it.
Avery Illies
2022-07-12 21:30:34 +0000 UTCDustin is wrong about Xbox not censoring japenese games. Example Gal gun 1 was supposed to be on xbox but, then that version got canceled even though it's on Switch and PC
Carlos Hernandez
2022-07-12 20:41:13 +0000 UTCI would love it if we got one episode with all of you every 3 months.
Tyee
2022-07-12 20:21:00 +0000 UTCWorlds are colliding! You're killing independent George!
Yiorgos
2022-07-12 20:00:05 +0000 UTCGOT to have more of these. Quarterly?
Shawn Yorn
2022-07-12 19:07:12 +0000 UTCMan this the type of show I’d love more of. I’m sure it’s difficult to wrangle everyone together, but I would love a quarterly check in with the whole crew. It can be a bit of cross promotion across both podcasts, so each audience that aren’t listening to both can get a taste of the other. And also maybe it can take up a slot of each respective supplement episode for that week.
Bogey
2022-07-12 18:54:58 +0000 UTCI agree with the monthly / every other month sentiment for having a big crossover episode like this. Great getting to hear everyone’s perspective!
UnkemptHawk
2022-07-12 18:47:32 +0000 UTCWould love monthly or bi-monthly gut check episodes with all the crew
Vinny Pepperoni
2022-07-12 18:46:04 +0000 UTCLOVE these kinds of eps. It’s unreasonable to ask, but since it’s so many people, I’d love even longer episodes, even if it runs out of topics and turns into a freeform discussion. That’s just me though, thanks regardless, this was fantastic!
Tick Dickler
2022-07-12 18:42:14 +0000 UTCI was hoping for a deep dive into the xbox showcase from the sacred crew :(
