Come Sit On Colin's Lap, Let Him Tell You A Story | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 462

It's time for a much-coveted solo episode of Sacred+, this one a mailbag conducted all by myself (it's Colin, by the way). I solicited inquiries and scoured 30 of your responses on a wide range of topics. Thus, join me as we chat about the future of Sacred Symbols and Last Stand, what we might expect from PlayStation 6, the 'right' and 'wrong' ways to Trophy hunt, the health of PSVR2, Sony's second party initiatives, Xbox's purportedly cancelled handheld, the next Resident Evil, when Final Fantasy actually became "good," and so much more. Enjoy! 0:00:00 - Intro 0:03:09 - What's next for Sacred Symbols? 0:08:11 - Where do I come up with the titles for the various episodes? 0:12:59 - Will Last Stand begin live streaming? 0:20:46 - Should Splitgate 2's CEO have apologized for his spoof MAGA hat? 0:25:21 - Did Sony and HBO drop the ball with The Last of Us' second season? 0:30:21 - When should we expect Guerrilla to drop Horizon 3? 0:33:38 - Will Sony ever return to its showcase model over State of Play? 0:38:50 - Is there a 'right' and 'wrong' way to Trophy hunt? 0:43:21 - Thoughts on Sony collaborating with Arc System Works 0:46:14 - With the Xbox brand slowly fading, what's does the future hold for Defining Duke? 0:48:42 - Where do I see myself professionally in 10 years? 0:52:07 - Should PlayStation be worried about Xbox at all anymore? 0:56:21 - What will be this year's Game of the Year? 0:57:00 - How do I find the time to play so many games so completely? 1:01:02 - Is Expedition 33 overrated? Was AstroBot, too? 1:04:30 - Why don't I listen to any other gaming content? 1:06:12 - If I could make one documentary about gaming, what would it be? 1:08:06 - Why did PlayStation Move fail? 1:12:45 - How does Media Molecule still exist? 1:16:02 - Should we have any level of confidence for the next Mass Effect? 1:18:11 - When's the last time a game truly surprised me? 1:20:42 - When did Final Fantasy as a series get 'good'? 1:23:23 - What does the future hold for Far Cry? 1:27:25 - Will game development times ever shrink back down to normal? 1:33:30 - What are some future interviews I'm aiming to conduct? 1:34:35 - Have I ever experienced hand or wrist pain from playing games? 1:36:47 - What did I think of Shovel Knight Dig? 1:38:00 - How is Sony doing with PSVR2 so far this year? 1:40:54 - Does every game in existence truly need a "community" around it? 1:43:11 - Why didn't I ask Neil Druckmann game questions when we spoke?

I don't know if I should feel scared or aroused

It might be cool to put what the title of the episodes refer to in the description or something. That way people will know and can even check out the song, movie, whatever. It's more work, but I'm sure Dustin would be glad to include them!

I don't think you understand Xbox's play for the future. They are putting their efforts into making a very efficient, user friendly, developer friendly OS for the handheld which will also be in their future console. Their plan is the drown people with options like Steam and Epic. While people are browsing, Game Pass will always be prominent in your face. I love Playstation but I can envision a future where they are left out in the cold because cheap, user friendly Console/PC's are proliferated. Colin you always say "Microsoft makes no money", they are clearly ok with losses if they can better position themselves in the future. With consoles getting super expensive the promise of exclusives might not be enough.

MSFT cares about server hardware more than console hardware. They want all platforms running on Azure servers when games are mostly streamed from the cloud. And they’ll use all of the data flowing through their systems to hone their AI. That’s the end game.

Could we get this picture with out the text for… reasons…

Whoever wrote in about Colin's episode titles, please, don't give him extra attention for this. you are enabling it even more, as he gets a nice ego stroke from this. please just pretend like these titles are not there.

Man, I totally missed the Q&A thread. I was on vacation and didn't see it. Still excited to listen

Colin just can’t help himself, he’s telling us he’s employed in some capacity by Sony. It’s right there.

Regarding the final inquiry... You can't constantly say "You'd ask the hard questions"... While also fully admitting sometimes you can't ask the hard questions otherwise you won't get access. We understand the second part, but you can't constantly criticize others for not asking the hard questions, when you know WHY they can't ask the hard questions...

This was a good time

As long as I have to have MAGA shit shoved in my face daily and everywhere I go you can deal with LGBTQ shit. People are just as sick of Trump and MAGA as they are of LGBTQ stuff. Im a straight male but I’m def never buying Splitgate 2 cause of that douche

Directional Joy

Standup comedians often mention NOT watching other comedians on stage (but will chat with them, through other avenues), because they don’t want to be an observer and have outside influence, or in the worst case unintended plagiarism. I understand Colin’s perspective in avoiding other VG content. It isn’t an insult to the creator, he’s just swatting away the disruptive distractions.

I will say you are having MAGA shoved in your face because you are letting it. There’s mute, block, and timeline control mechanisms in settings on every social media platform. I don’t see anything with Gaza, Ukraine or AOC anymore. I stopped crying and just made some adjustments. Also, I don’t engage in those conversations anymore. Gotta know who to control yours man. It’s not hard .

This Xbox/ROG Ally clip needs to be shared on Twitter ASAP...

ehhhh. I think Colin overvalues the 'purity' he's referring to. Not that I don't think he has good takes (he does), but he seems like he's got enough of a backbone/incisive perspective to where he could still formulate his own opinions even if he were to listen to others without being influenced by them. I mean, he hears the other LSM members' opinions all the time and still manages to have his own takes. I think the reality is that he just doesn't really care to spend his time listening to videogame podcasts, which is totally fine. We all gotta choose how we spend our days and all that.
