It's been awhile since we did a mailbag episode of Sacred+, so I (Colin) thought I'd solicit some inquiries from the audience, and you guys delivered more than a hundred. I picked through your submissions and came out with 24, on topics like Dragon Quest III, Valve, the future of survival horror, 30-versus-60 frames, PlayStation 6, holiday gaming, Madden, PS5 Pro, and so much more. Please enjoy.

Some quality time with Dad

JS (clashclay)

My question is when will knockback be making it's glorious return? Will it ever return? 😢

Nick

I enjoy the entire Last Stand team, but Colin really is the main reason I’m subscribed.

Gooch Gobbler

Thanks for adding timestamps for the questions! If PlayStation went away, you would simply stop playing games??? Come on my guy

Robbie Agnew

Colin, thanks for taking the time to do this

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

Colin you can transfer data from PS5 to PS5 Pro and it also transfers all your apps and sign ins. Like you wont have to resign into Netflix its basically a mirror of your old PS5.

Michael Cline Jr.

Thanks for answering the questions and your vulnerability, Colin.

Jordan Falduto

crazy how colin always mentions that these are the lowest effort or seemingly cheap content. my brotha i pay twice as much as the next guy specifically to get a monthly colin mailbox.

Liamburrito

Shadows has a Japanese protagonist

Wibble

I was just thinking that every Valve employee could make one million a year and it might not actually hurt Valve in a damning way, and that is wild. I'm sure I have no understanding of the actual business, but the basic numbers Colin scrounged up were crazy even if they were kind of wrong.

GunMetalJackal

Colin sounded particularly in a bad mood this episode.

Drew's Dew

Metaphor really benefits from the pro (stable frame rate). You should give it a try. Ps. The Touch Bar in the controller should have more love. From tlous 2 guitar strumming to ghost of tsushima’s(wind, stowing the katana , bowing and flute) I think its a great addition to the controller but it needs to be better supported.

ZombiesNJ

I am sad to see Ben let go but thanks for the detailed explanation. Hope he has something else lined up. He was great to listen to on the shows he was on.

Chris Church

I love the idea of a daily show. I miss Colin and Greg live that was so awesome. “Last Stand Daily” let’s make it a thing PLEASE!!!!!

heyVinno

PC gaming can be just like console gaming if you want it to be. You don't need to sit in front of a monitor and use a keyboard and mouse. Plug your PC right into your TV, pair a dualsense, turn on big picture mode(if using Steam) and you're golden. That's how most people play on pc. 👍

Antony

I didn’t realise Ben was leaving Last Stand Media. Thats sad to hear. I hope he is on the shows often from here as I think he contributes greatly to every conversation he’s on and I look forward to hearing his take on topics.

Born-Blind

I play damn near everything that comes out and haven't been able to keep up for years. There are plenty of games specially if you're on a few different platforms.

Bryan Lozano

Colin you don’t need to play all of the other black ops games. Just play the new one man.

Mr. Weeb

Just wanna say that Metaphor perform soooo much better on the Pro. The framerate could be pretty bad on the base model at times

Diddy’s Dong Quest

I’ve always felt like Nintendos ideology towards IP is one IP per genre. Shooter? Splatoon. Fighting game? Smash Bros. Action-Adventure? Zelda. Tactical RPG? Fire Emblem. RTS? Pikmin. That’s why I never really agreed with people saying Nintendo milks the shit out of their franchises. Whereas Sony has Ratchet, Sly, Jak- all left in the past except for Ratchet, and essentially the same genre. Nintendo kinda stopped making multiple IP per genre after SNES. It gets a little complicated when you consider the Mario spinoffs though. It’s like Dragon Quest. Part of the greatness of DQ is its familiarity.

Michael Cook

I've not thought of, let alone heard about Brian Altano in years. IGN & The Comedy Button (until the moment Anthony Gallegos left) was my jam for years. Funny how ephemeral podcast celebs can be

NeO JD

I kinda agree with the creative write-in, if even only to say that taking risks now are lower than ever. For example, Even Judas is pretty much BioShock again with a different narrative. I still miss PS4. If it could be as strong as the 5 Pro is but keep the 4’s interface and DS4, I’d be happy. I wouldn’t be surprised if consoles go the way of the PC or phones like you said. Then they cut off like 2 gens below when they feel like enough ppl moved on up. The only way I see PS games going over to Switch is if PS has no intention on doing proper mobile hardware. Otherwise, they’re hogging it up like Nintendo does.

Walk Forward Cutscene

Colin-You need to stop reflexively defending the modern games industry. There’s a reason why every AAA western game this year that isn’t a sports game or Call of Duty has flopped. And Rebirth flopped too.

Bailey Callis

I love these solo Colin episodes tbh.

Glen Yelenovic

I love mail bags from everyone on the team. They are not lazy content at all
