What we assumed would ultimately happen has come to pass: Machinegames' upcoming Indiana Jones title is indeed coming to PlayStation 5. Between Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Bethesda -- not to mention Xbox Studios itself -- Microsoft has quickly become one of Sony's biggest third party partners, and we suspect things are still just getting started. Other news this week includes the announcement of Borderlands 4, new Mafia and Dying Light games, word of Sea of Thieves' meteoric success on PS5, impressive Silent Hill 2 Remake gameplay footage, tons of Astro Bot spoilers, pricing details for Until Dawn Remake, and more. As usual, listener inquiries help us round things out. How come rank-and-file developers never get the blame for bad games? Can Chris guide a new Destiny 2 player through the trials and tribulations of figuring things out? Which upcoming PlayStation-aligned game-as-a-service has the most potential? Has Colin yet again offended the sensibilities of the Irish?Timestamps: 0:00:00 - Introduction

I lived overseas for about 5 years and I can 100% vouch for what Chris said about time slowing down with everything being new again

If your game uses SBI everything you do will be painted by that brush. SBI is an illegitimate group of con artists, racists and far left psychopaths who have no place in the industry. If you don’t want your game painted as garbage, don’t use SBI. That simple. You can see SBI all over Alan Wake 2 and it absolutely hurts that games immersion and world.

FlynnTaggartGuy

The Chris Chan bodycam footage is peak media.

Brandon V

As I said from the start, anyone who has played >Observer knows that Bloober team understand atmosphere and sound. Never doubted them. No one ever talks about observer despite it being top tier cyberpunk. Sucks that Colin completely ignored it when he was on his walking sim kick, as its one of the best in the genre

Deutschbag

No one picked up on the Seaman pun that Chris made smh

Michael Thew

Just spitballing, Colin. Bring back a fireside chat, invite Chris Chan to your house. Have a 3 hour in depth conversation with the guy. That would be hot fire

Gareth Handa

I fucking love that thumbnail, brilliant

Ignorant Primate

Since you guys are showing interest in Civ 7 and the franchise, wonder what you guys think of Crusader Kings 3 and if it’s something you would play. Think it’s packaged with PS Plus Extra or something. Super nerdy 4x strategy game with fun dynastic drama. Rather than about a nation or empire, it’s about your dynasty between 846 and 1453. Worth a look.

Noah Trujillo

I really truly don’t care about SBI. Some games they are involved with are fine, others are not. To me that signals that it’s the developer that the ire should be directed at.

Patrick Pratt

My wife isn’t white so I guess I’m in a DEI marriage too Colin. 🤣

Yanking my pizzle

I don’t really care about Sweet baby or DEI but most of the criticism I hear about both is that they are a worthless distraction to prioritize in making a good game. Chris made the point that a lot of DEI/sweet baby games are just bad games and it’s like yeah that’s the point maybe if they focused on making a good game instead of catering to an audience that doesn’t care and won’t play the games anyways people would have fun with the product. It is a pointless endeavor and gamers just want devs to focus on making the game the best it can be and not on American diversity politics. I feel that you guys have talked a lot before about DEI and Sweet baby but have failed to address most peoples problem with it in their games.

I’m sure so many people who are “concerned about SBI” with Kenzara loved Alan Wake 2 😂

Ding Dong

I fast forwarded so hard during the astro bot section. I'm so excited. I bought two controllers for astro bot. One to play it with and one to keep sealed

Adam Barnes

Top tier thumbnail, well played

Sam

‘Hogwarts legacy treatment at the game awards’ - brother, the game just wasn’t very good 😭

KItty Crew

Black myth has already sold 10 million copies Holy shit

twodaydrunk

Colin is 100% right about Tales of Kenzara: Zau. I’ve done my due diligence and platinumed the game as well and there’s no DEI DNA in this game. At all. If we want to have honest conversations about DEI that get to the heart of the argument, then we need to actually do the work to analyze games and the gaming industry deeper than surface level (i.e. Sweet Baby Inc. worked on Alan Wake 2 and Kenzara: Zau, therefore compromised). It’s a lazy, dishonest way of approaching the conversation and does nothing to further the discourse in a meaningful way.

nicholas

Crazy DEI marriage. Micah is awesome man what a shitty thing to say.

Joshua Brown

So Indy is stealing the Xbox because it’s treasure and replacing it with the decoy PS5 ?🧐

NeO JD

Not remembering the act of losing your virginity but remembering you played Dreamcast after is WILD. 🤣

Ser Gahndo

I'm just gonna say it... I fuckin love Concord

The Late Nate

To the former Torontoian, if you're willing to ditch your old teams for the new ones where you moved then you were always a bandwagon fan to begin with. And going from the Blue Jays to the Yankees? You were never really a fan of the team to begin with if you make that swap to a rival. My neighbour is from Detroit, moved here 30 years ago and is still a Tigers and Red Wings fan. My guess is you were a huge Raptors fan in 2019 lol

Michael Mashpotato

The monkey in Black Myth Wukong sounds like the great wize wizard in the movie “Your Highness”. I could not stop laughing at the voice acting in the beginning of the game.

Baden Ronie

Colin thinking 10m sold for Wukong in a few months. Wukong: hold my gourd, I'll do it in 3 days xD

I forgot to post this last week but it came up. I understand there’s a chance that you might get a faulty controller, but I have never gotten stick drift on a 1st party controller on any of the 3 console manufacturers. Dual Shock 3 & 4 that came with the console. Dual Sense. Dual Sense Edge. Multiple Xbox and Xbox Elites. Switch Pro and 6 Joycons. I buy a lot of controllers so this is off the top of my head. You know who has gotten stick drift in my house? My son. My filthy son. If every controller you have gets stuck drift it’s because you’re dirty. Wash your hands. Don’t eat while you play. As soon as my son stopped playing with dirty hands, problem solved. Take care of your controllers. Additionally, I play a lot of FPS, Souls, & fighting games. So I play a lot of games that require quick reflexes and could lead to controller damage, yet still no problems.

Greg McDonald

I'd never heard of that Evotinction game until Colin casually mentioned it, looks really cool

C

I love the fact that you knew you fucked up when you called out Ireland 🤣

Asique Alam

Who made that thumbnail, it's fucking diabolical son, nice one.

Draven E.

Weird AF I watch that John Oliver Video the day before I listened to this. It’s like 10 years old super random lol

Scott Yodoff

What came out from March 1- until Sept 2024 ? 6 months of nothingness. It’s a weak year that picks up in the final quarter . I’m excited for space marine , Astro Bot , Indiana Jones but The 6 month lull was brutal . It was basically SoE during that period . Colin even referenced multiple times how difficult it was to find material for the show . Kinda playing both sides here

Pan Ic

DEI marriage got me.

Daddy T

Hearing Chris and Colin say the words “County Cork” was not on my bingo card today

Glen Yelenovic

The Canadian is allowed to pick a NFL team as they don’t have real football in Canada. They are not allowed to pick a new NHL, MLB, or NBA team. You stick with the Leafs (Fuck Tavares), Blue Jays, and Raptors and you like it!

Gooch Gobbler

Nothing much to say or argue other than I really hate that there are people in this community that feel it's ok to call people slurs every week. I really don't have to agree with you, that's why I love LSM, not an echo chamber, but we shouldn't have to deal with this in the community, I hope someone from the team sees this and something changes. Treat people with respect

Alex

The best part about having time stamps is that you can easily avoid all of the DEI talk that seems to always make its way onto this program. There are many people out there who can discuss this issue from both sides, but here at LSM there is only the same opining thoughts that keeps repeating itself week after week. I also love the comments that say "go outside" whenever someone has an opinion on the topic that they disagree with. Lame. Would that comment make sense to someone who... works outside? But yes, we working class just aren't very smart.

Diddy’s Dong Quest

Funny hearing Colin say wukong would sell 10 mil in a couple months. A safe prediction. Nobody would’ve expected it to sell 10 mil in 10 days. That’s Tears of the Kingdom territory holy shit.

TreyDogg

Let's get Brad in here in Dustins absence!

Chris has a serious case of Elon Derangement Syndrome

Ahlickaloo

Proud of Chris for playing more games. Love hearing his commentary on them

Jacob Lesperance

I would love a Colin vs Colteastwood episode, lol. That guy is such a lying little bitch

Surge!

Funny, I remember Bill Maher having the same setup when he performed in CT. He still killed it, but it threw me off at first cause I had never seen that before with a standup.

Stanley Stoopish

"Xbox games are now Ps5 games is why we talk about Xbox games on this show." Proceeds to talk about Indiana Jones for 4 minutes and Xbox console hardware and brand for 1hr 13 minutes.

Aaron

Can’t wait until Xbox bringing their games to PlayStation is enough of a news story of it bringing their games to pc. Guess it will just take some people more time.

Kevin Cooper

"I don't think the game's just going to disappear off the planet... " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
