It seems like just yesterday that PS5 Pro was officially revealed, so in that context, we have some weird news for you: It's time to talk about PlayStation 6. Some of the first hard reporting on Sony's future console has emerged from newswire Reuters, and there are some interesting details within. But we have plenty of time to look backwards, too, because Vita classic Freedom Wars is being ported to PS5, as-is Horizon: Zero Dawn (though some people think we don't exactly need the latter one). Other news this week includes fresh information about Concord's demise, a ton of new PlayStation 30th Anniversary console and accessory announcements, rumors of Marathon's price point, and more. Listener inquiries end the show, as usual. Is it time for some 7th console generation revisionist history? Are naysayers going to be dead-wrong about the demand for a new Pro console? Will the price of next-gen consoles stagger or surprise? Can loud gulpers and chewers ever own their own behavior and stand down?Timestamps:0:00:00 - Introduction

Colin breaking the internet with his concord scoop.

Michael Rogers

If Dustin got a second charging station in the bundle, maybe he'd learn to actually use it and stop blaming Sony for his dead controllers.

Geoff

It's a matter of time before Sony drops Hulst. He made a VERY bad call with Concord and his bias towards the Horizon franchise is going to bite him in the ass.

Peter Balda

Damn right that Concord is Hermen Hulst’s baby. It was obvious from the Firewalk acquisition announcement where the head of Firewalk said that Hermen had played the game for years and helped them with it. He decided to buy the studio because of this game. This failure is all on him and a failure of this size is a fireable offence alone, besides his involvement with other failures like Bungie and Deviation. And Fairgame$ might flop hard too

Nathan Densley

Picked up by Asmongold, want to see if this brings anyone to the patreon

Adam Barnes

If Colin thinks Brads spelling was bad he should listen to a full episode of Duke and the shit Matty either miss pronounced or just completely fucks up

Brandon V

lol I am fully vindicated on my saying that wokeness is actually why concord failed. “Toxic positivity” in the work place lmfao those types of people are fully incapable of creating art. Art is a reflection of its creator and those people are hideous inside and out, therefore everything they create will be hideous and unattractive to anyone who isn’t them. Everything they do will fail. Always. Herman Hulst should lose his job if this game was his baby. Glad it failed, hope the studio is closed. Way too many people in the games industry who have absolutely zero business being in it. This is an industry for passionate people who love to create, not clock watchers. You want to watch the clock go work at fucking McDonald’s.

BigDumbStupidIdiot

$200 million spent in 18 months? Nah, someone's going to jail for money laundering

Alex Roberts

I’ve been watching old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares UK recently and in one of them the owner tells his waitress to “get your hooters out”. I think they’d probably leave that out of the edit if they made it today.

Zac

I'm confused as to why Dustin is so worried about backwards compatibility because the reporting said that Sony had in-depth conversations with Intel to ENSURE backwards compatibility, and that they ended up going with AMD so they didn't have to spend the extra money on engineering to bring it to PS6

Robert Ortega

Seeing a lot about the Concord budget, but that poop question really got me thinking. I asked chatgpt to run the numbers. If the average person spends 24 minutes pooping each day over the span of 43 years, they will have spent approximately 6,278 hours or about 262 days pooping in total. I was thinking along the lines of Chris, but 262 days of straight pooping is nuts. Would anyone even be able to accomplish such a feat? You would need to eat, sleep and maintain yourself otherwise all while pooping for 262 days!

Trevor Myers

Dustin watch the Flamangos episode of Kitchen Nightmares, people who run it in that one are also crazy

Chill Snake

Well this Concord scoop blew up! Even got Asmongold reacting.

Susan B. Anthony Bourdain

The delusion of grandeur in thinking Concord would be Sony's Star Wars adds a lot of color to Herman Hulst's obsessive cross-media push of Horizon. He seems like a classic corporate ladder climber—using emotional appeal to sell transformative visions with little meaningful supporting data. "Storyteller" leadership is captivating when you're bought in, but a nightmare when the reality distortion field falls apart.

TheWubbz

Perfect solve for the 40 dollar discussion: founder’s packs. Most people won’t be able to help themselves. Sell founders pack that gives a few cosmetics , coins, and early access, and then f2p after that. Then both sides are satisfied. No ranked anything until after f2p launch

SlickMick

Smoking weed used to make me feel so anxious and waking up after being high was even more anxiety ridden. When I stop smoking altogether, it gave me a lot of clarity. This is just my story. I hope it helps you colin because you’ve helped me a lot in the past. Love and respect. Ill stand down now

Dragon Warrior 7 as we knew it in west

At the gym, actually had to put the weights down during the Gordon Ramsey segment, nearly dropped the dumbbells on my face when trying to lift and laugh

Directional Joy

Dustin mentioning the games Holly has been playing (won’t spoil it for those who haven’t listened all the way through) reminded me of how much I enjoy the rare Holly + Micah episode. I look forward to whenever the next one drops (no rush). ❤️

K. Huntington

if it truly was 400m, then this game is dead and buried in new mexico, right? like there's absolutely no hope of ANY way to recoup that kind of investment in this or the next life.

Joe Perez

Just lit up and made it fifteen minutes in before laughing my ass off. Damn it’s nice to have the three of you back on!

Directional Joy

As far as PlayStation games that would fit well on the Switch/Switch 2 (whatever the name may be), I would vote for LocoRoco, Patapon, Flower, Journey, and perhaps PixelJunk Shooter. I wouldn’t expect physical releases but digital, at least, would be nice.

Directional Joy

I understand the frustration of Bloodborne fans, wishing for a BIG update/remake, but I have grown irritated with the divide of PS3 titles, wanting Resistance to have a proper return. I also agree with Chris, previous inFAMOUS titles being a part of the past is sad as well.

kiNeMs

Hahahaha. As an Australian. You guys have made me proud. RNR. Hahahahaha. You guys are......REDEEMED.

Bi-curious Pigbaby

Greg was probably one of the dudes that was able to grab colin and snap his bones in a pleasant way. Man... I miss them together.

Greg McDonald

Chris just described every massage/chiropractor/osteopath/physio I've ever been to

KItty Crew

so the concord thing has blown up and is everywhere

Hey Colin, it's great to hear about your journey with weed. I used to smoke a lot too, back when I was younger and even when I first became a parent. I didn't think it was a big deal, I could still do my job and take care of my family, and it helped me relax after a long day. But it did have some negative effects, like the "stoner coma" and mood swings if I didn't have any. I realized I was doing it out of habit rather than because I actually enjoyed it. Anyway, it took an experience while I was working away to break the cycle. True stoners can always find weed, no matter how hard it may seem. I found a dealer, but he was so inconsistent. He'd have weed for a few days, then be dry for the next week. This went on for months, and I'd constantly be agitated when I didn't have any. Finally, he got a new supply and I was able to break the cycle. Told him to go fuck himself in the nicest way I could and took control of a habit that had been there for years. I will admit every now and then. I'll have a little binge But gone are the days Of socially smoking, I find the stuff's so strong. I can bearly function. I have grand plans of getting a big, fat bag in and sitting down and playing The playstation for hours on end. What I find is I get that high. That i'm unable to even function. And what beforehand was a nice idea become something that'll regret once doing it . My advice Take a really long break. Break the cycle of having it know you can go back and enjoy doing it but because you want to and not out of habit.

Stanley Stoopish

Am I wrong in thinking we kinda just breezed over the Concord news...? Costing 400m (not including studio price), It being the "Baby" of the brands NEW CEO. This seems like a massive deal and has me lacking so much confidence in the future of PlayStation. But nah, let's talk about lack of game sales on Xbox and freedom wars not coming to Xbox. Christ.

Hozi

Holy Fuck Sony, this is how you shit the bed!

AllTooEasy_

Colin is really Colin on this one. Don’t like how emphatic he is with the word “poop” it’s so much pop on the “P”

Wayde

Ps5 pro 30th edition doesn't come with disk drive you have to buy the white one and clip on a grey cover

dennis riha

A couple of things, first of all Concord's dev cycle was not the 8 years SS has stated several times in the past which proved to be wrong. Secondly anyone that believes Concord cost $400 mil to make is an idiot despite what Colin's source said. The studio started with 100 people and only grew to 150 in the last 2ish years even at $100k per person that's around $60mill over 5yrs (100 @ 5yrs, 50 @ 2yrs). Where did the other $340mill go? Sony could have given the entire staff sex change operations and then switched them back and still not spent $340mill. The $400 claim cannot be defended.

Luis Irarragorri

Guys, the PS5 Pro pricing is not indicative of PS6 pricing. They are devices with different goals. The PS5 Pro is an enthusiast device aimed at a very small percentage of the installed base, and As Moore's Law said, Sony have priced it high because they think they can. With the PS6, Sony 's aim will be to move as many users over from PS5 and gain new customers, thefore they should be much more inclined to price it along the razors/razor blades model.

Look Up 2:27 of Delusions of Grandeur - Glazed Donut Zero (Official Video)

Next week’s show is gonna be a wild one. The nutcases over on ReeEra are saying some insane shit (shocking, I know). Hilarious how the narrative seems to be that Colin is doing this just for views, and that Sacred is apparently “alt-right chuds”. Like bro, no one in the entire network was running with the dumb ass “woke” or “DEI” criticisms. It was just eh, it’s just kinda bland and the art direction is lame.

Chill Snake

If that $400M is correct for Concord then I believe the $7M SBI consultancy for Wukong was correct as I believed.

Kevin Cooper

The plural form of vinyl is vinyl.

Jason Thompson

Colin thinking $1K for a handheld is good enough is wild when your competition will be Super Switch which would be close enough in power for half that price

Jason Thompson

Colin talking about people willing to pay $600 will do the same for Pro and going forward. Forgetting that PS3 sold poorly and half what they expected and didn’t sell well instill the price cut.

Brannon H

I will not stand for massage slander

Bailey Callis

Colin is truly becoming the meme of a "CONSUMER" That he always makes fun of.

Andrew Grishaw

The scary part with the $40 price point is that everything that this game competes with is free to play. You can't compare marathon to helldivers because helldivers is co-op. It attracts a different audience. Or at the very least, it's just a game to take a break from your lifestyle game. Call of duty is a unicorn in that it has existed since before this ftp model was adopted. Alot of people that play cod typically go back to their ftp game after a few months. The barrier of entry on these new games has to be easier to "try" or people simply keep playing what they've been playing. I hope marathon works and I personally am excited to play it. It just seems like an initial costs brings them into the game with a handicap.

Fotis Lyto

I think the guy saying that games costing 70$ (80€ in Europe, which is insane) is wrong that sales have not taken a hit, games now sell less than they used to, we see games selling 1 mil, 2 mil and it is considered a "huge success" while in ps4 era that was a Tuesday.

Andrew Christensen

Dude, Colin is getting really introspective on every level these days

Wayne Moss

😂 couldn’t stop laughing when Colin said he used to sneak McDonald’s into the movie’s 😂 me & my friends used to do this. I remember once waiting to go in being nervous sneaking it in & someone walked out of another screen holding a Large Pizza Hut box 😂 how did he sneak that in 😂

Hyruled3G

I love how I was able to contribute to the hanging elephant discussion that oddly keeps coming up lol
