Sacred Symbols+, Episode 206 | Gather Ye Sacred Dukes

We 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.

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 206 | Gather Ye Sacred Dukes

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.

Jeremy Seal

You will now (;

Kid-Organic

TXFights or something like that.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm certainly not using it wrong. <3

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

Man these Avengers assemble episodes are so damn good! I want one every month 😂

James Buck

Word of the day... Cadence

James Buck

Dear 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. 😗

Kid-Organic

I love it when the Avengers come together

Mark ?️

Did anyone catch the YouTube channel that covers fights that Colin was talking about?

Edgar Hernandez

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

So we gotta do this more often right? Fantastic episode, one of my favorites in awhile.

Andrew Walsh

Please do!

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

Love these episodes. I did just pick up a Series S so looking forward to diving into the Dukes content!

Drew Lee

Col, you know when you do these you gotta give us the “PLAY…PLAYING WITH THE BOYS.” ❤️

NeO JD

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

Definitely one of my favorite episodes.

Mario Villelli

Thanks for listening!

Colin Moriarty

Excited to dive in! Thanks in advance to the whole crew, (especially the patriarch), for making this happen!

Tonys_Always_Write

We'll see. =)

Colin Moriarty

I 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!

Kickstand

Oh, we can do it more than that!

Colin Moriarty

I 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

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

There are millions who got the Red Ring and bought an Xbox One, nonetheless a Series X.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

I think we can even do better than that.

Colin Moriarty

Great combined episode gentleman!

John Hanke

These would be great quarterly

Bryce Mccloskey

Have 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.

larry Seitz

This was a really great episode. Strong discussions all around. I love it when the Avengers assemble.

Kenneth Oms

Good stuff. Love seeing you guys together

Omar Rosa

Great 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

This 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.

J_Deeves

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

The 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

Thanks!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

Xbox isn't editing quite a bit that Sony is, including our game.

Colin Moriarty

That seems easy enough to hit.

Colin Moriarty

LOL.

Colin Moriarty

Easily.

Colin Moriarty

Scheduling is definitely the prohibitive factor, but we wanna get together more.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

Could be fun.

Colin Moriarty

We go long once a week on Sacred! I don't wanna make everyone stay forever.

Colin Moriarty

Didn't we do an episode? I don't even remember.

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

We'll see. =)

Colin Moriarty

It's Dustin in a rubber suit.

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

<3

Colin Moriarty

We'll see what we can do.

Colin Moriarty

Yes.

Colin Moriarty

=)

Colin Moriarty

Great conversation

Edwin Garcia

More of this please.

MostlyCharlie

Well that episode was….something….thank God for Dustin bringing levity on BOTH sides.

Jeremy Cochran

These 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

What 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

Loved this show :)

miniAJ

Thanks for this one guys! You're killing it.

Avery Illies

Dustin 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

I would love it if we got one episode with all of you every 3 months.

Tyee

Worlds are colliding! You're killing independent George!

Yiorgos

GOT to have more of these. Quarterly?

Shawn Yorn

Man 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

I agree with the monthly / every other month sentiment for having a big crossover episode like this. Great getting to hear everyone’s perspective!

UnkemptHawk

Would love monthly or bi-monthly gut check episodes with all the crew

Vinny Pepperoni

LOVE 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

I was hoping for a deep dive into the xbox showcase from the sacred crew :(

BatmanBeyond

That cover. Cogs got them. All “outside”

Bob Spiers

Top ten anime crossovers: Sacred Symbols X Defining Duke

Jambi

This NEEDS to be a monthly episode! Sacred Defining Duke Symbols #1

Bart Van Geert

That doesn't look like dustin to me, is that really dustin? 😂 why does he look so different

MayorGarbageMan

Finally!

Alex Roberts

Awesome

drew

Need these monthly

Shane Geis

What is this; a crossover episode!?

Conor Wilson

In the immortal words of Mike Tyson. Now Kith! 😂
