Another Dimension, New Galaxy | Sacred Symbols, Episode 337

Geoff Keighley's 'The Game Awards' festivities didn't disappoint this year. Quite the contrary, it was arguably the single strongest showing of new game announcements the industry has seen in seemingly forever, and it was capped-off with what many of us have long awaited: Naughty Dog's new game. For the first time since 2005's Jak X: Combat Racing on PlayStation 2, Sony's crown jewel studio is readying a product that's aligned neither with Uncharted nor The Last of Us. It's called Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, it's about a spacefaring bounty hunter and a mysterious alien planet, and it's coming to PlayStation 5 at an undetermined point in the future. Naturally, we have much to discuss. Other TGA announcements of note include a surprise update for Helldivers 2, Capcom reveals in the form of new games in the Onimusha and Okami series, a brand new multiplayer Elden Ring spin-off called Nightreign, our first look at Borderlands 4 and The Witcher IV, the long-awaited revival of the Turok IP, the first new 2D Ninja Gaiden in more than three decades, and much more. And there's a regular ol' episode of Sacred Symbols underneath all of that, too, focused on the purported leak of Bend Studio's new game, the death of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a serious lawsuit filed against Bungie by a fired executive, final word on long-defunct vaporware PS4 project Wild, and more. We wrap things up with listener inquiries on topics like rumors of an upcoming Steam console, parasocial relationships in the creator space, the ability of dialogue to ruin a perfectly good user experience, and a conundrum surrounding perpetual hiccups and $100 million.

Early. Love to see it!

Mitch Orobko

Holy shit I'm working a night shift tonight too. Thanks dudes!!!

BMJ614

Damn early bird catches the video game worm👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dennis

A very welcome surprise

Jordan Falduto

EU bros must be thrilled with the 3AM EST release of this episode

The Lazy Indian Gamer

Absolutely brilliant showcase and Astro really deserved that win. Overall a great showcase ND’s game looks insane and that rendering tech!!

CR 3D

Just be careful. Unless you side with the overwhelming liberal takes in the discord, you will be timed out or worse banned. I was lucky enough to only be timed out for 24 hours. I'm good though. Enjoy your echo chamber.

NorthOfAmerica

Nobody mentioned Dustin's Christmas cozy tones. Green reflection, Red reflections. Subtle but awesome!

CR 3D

If you call reacting to what someone else said favorably obnoxious then I'm guilty as charged. I was asked directly by Dustin not to speak of the election. I did not speak of the election after he requested for me not to speak of it. Then I was timed out. Figure that one out and get back to me on that.

Pianopower

You were probably being obnoxious. Maybe do some self reflection instead of crying about other people

Walker Simmons

Intergalactic being a huge budget cowboy bebop/akira inspired game is gonna be so dope. Can't wait for the soundtrack and aesthetic 🔥

Grimm Carousel

Can't wait to play Prophet, the intergalactic heretic.

Jay Kurian

5 hours 23 minutes; you love to see it!

Gavvyn

So, I’ll keep asking this question until I get a satisfying answer… How long until every Sony first party protagonist is a lesbian?

four24twenty

Colin "BongRipper420" Moriarty. Nice dude.

Justin Marion

After Colin criticized how the Naughty Dog game showed shaving, I had to go back and take a look. Colin, are you sure that's not how people use a trimmer? That's exactly how I do my head 😆

Adam

Well, so far it's happened exactly once, so maybe wait for a trend before exposing yourself as a chud?

Gavvyn

Ellie, Aloy, Intergalactic’s Protagonist, Possibly Ghost of Yotei’s Protagonist, Possibly Nathan Drake’s daughter in the future. So that’s 3 for sure.

Issac Woosley

I don't want a steam console I want to build my own pc that i install steam os

Adam

I'll give you Ellie (and Aloy, which I was unaware of until just now) but on the other three you are wildly speculating. Is it possible you end up being right? Maybe, but you're still just speculating.

Morgan

Good let em. Long as the game's fun and the stories good let em all be lesbians. Lesbian gaming renaissance incoming. Lesbians rise up.

Marco Maluf

Cant wait to see Colin insisting that Mr Drunkman is not woke….

Gooch Gobbler

LSM has the most laissez faire policies in all of their communities and comment sections that I have ever seen. If you got any kind of feedback from them, you had to be truly heinous

WalknTalknStvnHawkn

He was trying to culture war when everyone else was just trying to have a good time and wouldn’t stop until he got the reaction he wanted, which was a timeout.

CR 3D

Doesn't really matter. It's already very obvious to me that people who harbor right wing takes are punished and ganged up on at an exponentially higher rate than people with leftist takes. I was timed out for a day because I tried to back somebody up who was getting ganged up on. Far as I'm concerned that's all I needed to know. Unsubscribed moving along. Again enjoy your liberal echo chamber.

WalknTalknStvnHwkn

I'm probably about as conservative as you are and I have no problem saying you were being retarded with the intention of being banned so you could pretend to be a victim of censorship.

Chaise

I’m glad Naughty Dog isn’t giving up on Concord

Michael Hobbs

As previous people said in the comments, when shaving my head that’s exactly how I use my trimmer. Peace & love.

hamish-k

Chris knows there is red dead online were you can just mess around go on missions and stuff right

nobody

I had a poop emergency where I had to shower just last week right before a party. :(

Zack Fair

Everybody hating on Intergalactic name... i love it! Should've just kept it at that

ToiletDrummer

Man, the conversation around female character designs in games has hit rock bottom. It started as a reasonable counterreaction to censorship and intentionally masculine redesigns and has now devolved into "omg this character is ungoonable, WOKE!1!"

Jonathan Turner

As someone who is not chronically online. Can someone please explain why it seems everyone has turned on Naughty Dog? Is it just the latest cool thing to do? I thought the trailer looked decent. Can’t wait to see gameplay and the mechanics.

The Infinity Strasher

So Uedas' new game and Ninja Gaiden were the two "holy shit" reveals from TGA right? They sure were for me!

Adam

The backlash that started when TLOU2 came out continues because the incels can't get over their feelings.

Gavvyn

Did you guys really skip over Crimson Desert, or did I just miss it? Looks pretty amazing.

Born-Blind

I remember Trust Company! I'm gonna go back and listen to them now

Hozi

How are we not talking about Arcane not getting best adaptation?

Yalingo

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Heretic: The Intergalactic Prophet. Prophet: The Intergalactic Heretic. The: Intergalactic Heretic Prophet. Lol

Yalingo

The last white guy was Deacon and was the main driver of criticism for days gone by journos. Apparently diversity doesn't mean a diverse set of characters and stories.

Danio

Because Arcane is massively overrated. It's just ok. Apart from expensive animation (too often switching to some 2D bullshit) and awful music it's just another edgy anime.

Germanos

To the guy who ranted about PlayStation in being the worst company in the world energy - dude, chill. It worked flawlessly, the next day I got the link. Why so mad?

Germanos

Boys, the timer starts when a game application is running. For the system does not differentiate things alike the 'start menu' or 'game paused'. If the game is running on the system, the clock is ticking.

Germanos

I was expecting bigger numbers in your wrapped summaries. I played 1300h this year, from that 430h on the Portal. 250h in Destiny 2 alone. 90h in Eiyuden, Rise of Ronin and Metaphor. And I've got kids, a job and channel/podcasts. Not impressed. Please play better. 😎

Danio

But sometimes there are bugs when the game time doesn't count or when it counts times 10.

Germanos

No software is free of bugs, I agree, and it might be the case sometimes. I play a lot, and 90% of it is PS5, and haven't noticed not a single noticeable problem, so I refuse that the timer is fundamentally broken.

Dick Stillhard

What do you mean no one was shot in the Mafia trailer, there were at least three shootouts and one specifically almost hit the Main Character lol

YaBoyStevieJay

These fictional characters wouldn’t want to fuck your pathetic incel ass even if they were straight

Germanos

The Game Awards were outstanding*. It hurts to see how mediocre the energy from Dustin and Chris was when talking about the bomb-announcements :-( * it was the tenth anniversary, it will no way hold the level next year.

Respect The Plight

The game is Jurassic: The Hunted, I have a plat for it

Guybrush Threepwood

Haven't played a game that feels this much like Dishonored since Dishonored Death of the Outsider (Indy). In fact, I wonder if there are actual ex-Arkane devs that moved over to Machine Games and worked on this because its got so much of that DNA in it. Was expecting a wolfenstein-ish type game, and got Dishonored-ish instead and its really good.
