The Sacred Symbols 2025 Fantasy Draft | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 430

It's time once more to conduct our annual fantasy draft for Metacritic scoring, this time for the year of our lord 2025. For the uninitiated, the rules are simple. Each of the three hosts of Sacred Symbols -- Colin, Chris, and Dustin -- select 12 games (for 36 total), thus constructing a 'team' of the presumably strongest upcoming releases. But not just any games will do; indeed, to be selected, a title must either be confirmed or reasonably assumed for launch within the 2025 calendar year, specifically on a PlayStation platform (whether that's PS5, PS4, or PSVR2). Seemingly arbitrary Metacritic averages will tell the rest of the story, and we'll update you on the results in one year. To that end, we likewise go over our selections for 2024, figure out who won and who lost, and update the historical standings, which will resonate throughout time. As a post-show stinger, we then welcome Summon Sign's Brad Ellis to the show in order to go over the results of our VGA betting special from this past December. The results may surprise you... and the consequences of losing are quite serious.

Can't remember if it was done last year, but really cool to have the table updated as you go all in a layout that keeps all the cams on screen too - looks great!

Always a heartwarming moment when a dad teaches his sons about his favourite movies

I listed all the questions in the original bets episode (#423) comment section. I included my own guesses, which are in parentheses, as a way to test my own prognostication skills against the well informed Sacred crew. I was quite pleased with my score overall but 3 hours 42 minutes, I can't believe I called the YT archive within 4 seconds. I called the closest time of the final trailer at 3:12 so I gave myself a point for that, I said 8 for Geoff's getup so a point there as well, I called Matty's 9 spot on so that's two (right?) for a final score of 17 (errr maybe 16, regardless). You guys gave a great effort but, I'll be watching you boys faceoff to see which one of you gets 2nd place. Better luck next time fellas.

Could have done something like “how many likes does Astro Bot wins game of the year have” for a tie breaker. Or how many re tweets They just gave their predicted number and Brad checks right there on the spot

Glad to hear there may be more games or prediction betting in the future. I LOVE these episodes. It's a fun time and gets everyone thinking. Suggestion for next time there's a tie... have another question on deck about the show that the boys wouldn't know the answer to. Given their memories, that's probably a pretty easy task.

The boys are wearing some cool colors today

For the record, D2 The Mighty Ducks is also worth watching. Bombay is such a douchebag the whole time it's impossible not to laugh at.

They should have played Tri Breaker and best score wins. 🤌

Phantom Blade should be out this year and have a feeling it will score in the 80s. If Earthblade releases this year it's a sure 85 or over.
