Not For Me, or Anyone Else | Sacred Symbols, Episode 403

a proper fall release) has many people scratching their heads. Have we gone from frame generation to art reinterpretation? Why is this technology being deployed so aggressively, anyway? And how come so many companies were so excited about it until they saw the overwhelmingly negative audience response? Let's delve headfirst into the mystery of the Yassified Grace, and all of the fallout therein. Plus: A fresh rumor indicates PlayStation Network branding will disappear later this year, Sony has apparently automatically refunded people for any spending in the now-cancelled Highguard, PSVR2 second party FPS Firewall Ultra has silently been delisted, PlayStation 3 received its random annual firmware update, legendary Tom Clancy developer Red Storm has been gutted, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Have any of us messed around with a PS3 emulator? What's going on with Street Fighter 6's creepy new storyline? With Bravely Default skipping PS4 and PS5, is it safe to assume Square Enix isn't actually done with exclusives? Did two Sacred Symbols fans miss each other by mere seconds in a Dollar Tree parking lot? A new episode of Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast launches each Friday morning.

Another great thumbnail 😆

Damn I never realized Dustin really looks a lot like Luka Doncic.

Amacio Martin

Dustin does not look like Luka 🤣

Cass Whelan

Colin moriarty is Colin moriarty I knew it

Banger of a thumbnail. 😂

Crazy how Dustin was able to get this episode out so soon after dropping 60 on the heat

I guess it's just me but I don't care literally at all about any of the AI stuff in games and all this scaling DLSS stuff. In the end it's all going to work out fine and I'm sure stuff will continue to look better. Anything that sucks about this stuff now will probably get iterated on and improved.

My take on this is peoples true complained isn't necessarily about the quality of the DLSS5 stuff. Hell, all they have shown is a couple 2 second clips and still images. They say it looks really bad because they are truly worried about peoples jobs and "artistic integrity". But deriding the entire thing will have a better effect than just stumping for peoples jobs. I also think the tech will get better. I also think people will choose to use it or not and that many indie and triple A games will be made without it. Just a lot of doomsaying going around IMO.

You definitely don’t have to read this, or acknowledge it, but my gut instinct is that Nick Scarpino was the “ ropey loads” joke progenitor

People's reaction to AI reminds me of the scene in Back to the Future where Marty plays an 80's guitar solo to a 50's crowd. It's like, the future, man. Maybe you're not ready for it, but your kids are gonna love it.

Deemac

My first reaction also lol

Henry3K

thumbnail is perfect lol

Josh Kisskalt

It genuinely seems like Chris is starting to get annoyed by how much Colin picks on Dustin lol.

Play Metal Eden as a substitute for a Marathon single player campaign 👍 it hits

the listening comprehension demon strikes again, folks

That flopathon.cc site isn't "industrious," Colin—it's just straight-up pathetic. It has all this rhetoric on there about "THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE" and "RAW DATA," but the most prominently displayed metric is literally a community upvote/downvote button (a la Reddit) that is just "click on this button if you think this game will flop." That's the opposite of objectivity—it's opinion. The site is lying to your face right from the get-go. It's almost as funny as it is sad. Whoever made it is a crayon-chewing retard, and they should do something else with their time.

Bit surprised when they were talking about Crimson Desert that Dustin said it looks like something he'd be into - didn't he say after Yotei's release that he gets burned out by open world games? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but if not, this seems like the opposite of what he'd like lol I myself picked up the game on physical out of morbid curiosity (as I got it for 60 and can trade in currently for like 40 if I really didn't like it, so figured it's worth it to check out) - and after about 4-5 hours I just find myself kinda bored. Gorgeous game but controls are clunky and story is nonsense. I've unlocked a few abilities so that side of things is opening up, but I never find myself drawn to wanting to boot this up and play - which is never a good sign with this kind of game. I often just find myself wanting to do a few runs on Marathon instead lol (which would have been the furthest thing from my mind like a month ago). Next new games I'm really interested in are Saros and maybe Pragmata, I've got some time before those so I'll stick with it and see if it does become at least something fun to play and mess around in. But I absolutely see where all the 7/10s come from.

I really disagree about the Oscars but i get why you guys wouldn’t like it. But why shouldn’t movies have a big night celebrating themselves? And the voters get it right sometimes, and it can really matter for some winners

We will be living in cyberpunk soon enough

To the working father of two: I also have two kids (8 and 6 now), and there is plenty of time to game. You just need to choose what is more important to you. I gave up on anime, on movies, and on TV series. I spend my time in the evenings gaming and play a lot. To all aspiring men and future fathers: having kids is not the end of the world. Please have kids. Don't be like content creators on YouTube. Do it for humanity!

Gonna have to take a nap and drink some orange juice after this episode. My goodness.
