The Last of Us, Seriously | Sacred Symbols, Episode 349

We're on the verge of the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, and yet new questions percolate about whether we'll ever see another game in Naughty Dog's vaunted series. In a recent interview, Neil Druckmann told fans "don't bet on there being more," which is both alluringly ominous and obviously vague. That's good news for us, though, since it gives us plenty to discuss. Do we need more? Do we want more? Should we get more? Plus: Rumors are ramping up about one-time Xbox titan Gears of War migrating to PlayStation 5 later this year, while details related to Firesprite's cancelled Twisted Metal project have leaked. Also: PlayStation 2 turns 25 years old in Japan, Until Dawn Remake studio Ballistic Moon goes belly-up, a key Bungie designer joins Guerrilla, Monster Hunter Wilds smashes Capcom sales records, and more. Finally: Listener inquiries! Is it possible that Grand Theft Auto VI fails to meet either critical or commercial expectations, or perhaps both? What are our reflections on PS5 Pro now that we've had our own for some months? Should Canadians stop buying games from American publishers and developers in retaliation of US tariffs? Will Colin ever forgive his brother for continuously referring to himself as "The Dagster"? Follow the hosts!

Blessed art Thou, who listen to Sacred Symbols on Friday. May your time spent this weekend be most excellent.

Pyo

I know I am late on this but I got mh wilds for 65 USD Physical, 90 USD on the psn where I live. Huge difference at launch

Mario Diosdado

Armageddon = Asteroid Deep Impact = Comet

Zack Apuzzo

Why did I laugh this hard at “joelvr”

Timothy

cuz that shit is hilarious lmao

Walker Simmons

I'm very happy with my Pro purchase. Kingdom come 2 looks and runs great and the newest version of PSSR looks close to native 4k to my eyes. If you trade in your old PS5 you can get the pro for 500$ which compared to the current Nvidia cards Is a good deal imo 🤷

Alvin_Jordi

Props to Chris for pushing through this week. I always look forward to his cander.

JG Wentworth

Canceled my membership this morning. The moderation on Reddit is a joke.

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

I'm from Alberta and I have no problem supporting American products still. Its an absolute joke that NOW Canada wants to "unite" when we have been shit on by the rest of Canada forever.

Mario Diosdado

Colin comments about Mexico got my blood boiling, he is really missing the mark on that one. Misinformed, myopic view.

Goober89

It might be fair to elaborate about what he's wrong about

Jason Rose

Another Canadian with a brain, I see.

Born-Blind

I sort of enjoy working so I could easily see myself working into my 70's though with a lighter work load. Maybe work 3 days a week doing something you enjoy. Aren't there studies that show seniors that are more active live longer?

Born-Blind

Speaking of PS2... When are we going to get The Bouncer? Pretty sure that was my first PS2 game. I got the console late seeing as I was a poor little console peasant at the time

Jason Rose

You could just not go on Reddit like most people.

JG Wentworth

Most people..? It has like a billion active users, lol. And it’s not like it’s inherently better or worse than other forms of social media.

Gooch Gobbler

I wanna know more about the provincial beef

Gooch Gobbler

They are pretty crazy to take down almost anything remotely negative on there lol Colin has a hate boner for reddit. It's pretty much the only social media I use so that sucks. The community loves like 90% of everything you guys do man, there is plenty of positive stuff on there

Alberta is like the Texas of Canada. We produce oil and sell it essentially funding the entire country. All the other provinces especially the east like Ontario and Quebec say we are red necks, our oil is destroying the planet, we are evil, all while wanting to buy as much as we are selling and happily taking this "evil" money as tax to fund all their worthless garbage. We are pretty much the responsible parents taking care of ungrateful kids. We would happily be the 51 state if offered a chance.

Tundra Boy

Colin, near the end of the show you said that there are some Resident Evil games that don't sell 8 million but every mainline RE since og RE4 has sold over that

K. Huntington

and as far as i'm concnered, acclaim didn't even do the good nba jam titles. like mortal, they just simply ported them to consoles. mortal and (the good) jams were both midway games.

Arian Yee

LJN did the T&C game for the NES...that game was awesome!

Michaël Petitclerc

Regardless of interprovincial beef, the fact of the matter is the Majority, with a capital M, of Canadians do not want to join the US. This includes Alberta (albeit having the highest % for joining). Proud Quebecer here (background pic at Alberta!), just spreading facts.

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

That may be true. As a Quebecer I'm sure you would be more than happy to be your own country. I'm curious as to why most Canadians would argue to not join the states? Especially if they gave us a 1 to 1 conversion of our dollar. Our economy is in the toilet. I just don't know where this new found nationalism has come from. Your golden boy Trudeau said we are a post national state. We are colonizers. So what is there to "unite" around exactly?
