Defining Duke, Episode 127 | That Was INSANE - Our Reaction To Xbox's 2023 Showcase

Xbox needed a good showcase after all of the bad to remind folks why they bought their piece of plastic in the first place. Well, Xbox's 2023 showcase wasn't just good, it was close to perfect. First party arrived in spades with Fable, South Of Midnight, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Forza Motorsport, and...

KnockBack, Episode 262 | Final Fantasy II

Our meandering through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters continues with Final Fantasy II, widely considered the 'black sheep' of the traditional series. But a lot of that hinges on perception, or lack thereof. See, Final Fantasy II took forever to come to the west -- it came to Famicom in 1988 bu...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 258 | I Feel Summer Creepin' In

The PlayStation Showcase left many fans disenchanted, but can Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest deliver some positive energy? It turns out that yes, it certainly can. Spider-Man 2 now has a release date, Prince of Persia, Sonic, and Like A Dragon are all getting new entries, known titles like Mor...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 301 | Moriarty x Jaffe: On Fanboys, Showcases, and Zelda

Please welcome friend-of-the-show and industry veteran David Jaffe back to Sacred Symbols+. A week or so ago, in the wake of the PlayStation Showcase, I (Colin) emailed Jaffe to ask: What's the deal with all of the fanboys coming out of the woodwork? The scene seemed overrun worse than ever, and ...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 112 | The Truth Behind Redfall Exposed

Much has been said about Redfall, but we could never pin down what exactly happened. Sure, we had our assumptions such as Redfall being a product of Zenimax's push into live service games or that much of Arkane bailed on this project in the middle of its development. All of those were guesses but...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 300 | Forspoken Review Discussion and Spoilercast

Recently, I (Colin) sat down and did something unusual: I played through all of Forspoken. As you likely already know, Forspoken came out this past January as a PS5 console exclusive, and it didn't exactly light the world afire. In fact, it's thoroughly mediocre, a surprise considering the p...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 257 | Negative Vibe Merchants

We're more than a week distant from the recent, highly controversial PlayStation Showcase. And because we recorded our last episode directly after it, we did the best we could shooting from the hip. But with time to think, have our opinions on Sony's event evolved? We spend a lot of time tal...

Punching Up, Episode 2 | Domination of the Kingdom

The release of a new Zelda feels like an Olympic-level event. This release feels a little different due to the total domination not only in sales but also in cultural saturation. It feels like everyone is playing Tears of the Kingdom, and it makes sense since it sold 10 million copies in just thr...
