This Is the Revelation of the Year | Sacred Symbols, Episode 414

What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols. A new episode of Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast launches each Friday morning.

You know you can literally just look up the dualsense failure rates right? its about 30 percent, the same as switch joycons. Yes its THAT bad. Ive had 2 of them crap out on me after a year, i treat my stuff better than literally anyone, like to an OCD level. Its time to accept it, dualsense are junk. Controller 1- launch model Controller 2- second revision Im on controller 3 now, the red and black glossy (new color line) watch this pos drift in a year as well. At least ive got gulikit TMR sticks for when it does.

The conversation about how characters look in games is weird. Chris is spot on about if we even need to scan actors/models in the first place, but I’ve almost never noticed anything odd outside of Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine regarding how characters look. In most games, characters often just look like how I would expect them to look in that world. Maybe there’s a bit of over-humanisation about them, but that’s true of almost every cinematic, story driven game. Def a mixed bag, but really not worth the attention and controversy it causes online imo.

Just an FYI for Colin. No Rest For The Wicked is a dyed in the wool soulslike. Its very hard.

3:54:46 - Colin, man... Who isn't giving Tomb Raider props? The Playstation trailer for Tomb Raider is currently the third most watched from the event after GOW:L / Wolverine at 1.3M views / 61K Upvotes to 1K Downvotes alongside universal praise in the comments of the look of Lara. I am personally tired of the whole looks conversation in general but I don't even get where you're coming from here.

i dont want to be annoying about silent hill, i know us fanboys can be that way… but everyone always forgets origins which is on ps2 and psp, its short and plays exactly like 2/3… its really good and shouldn’t be an afterthought. also cog called townfall “silent hood”… keep it up

Athetos

I know different apps calculate the dislikes differently, but last I saw it had like 130k dislikes (and that was quite awhile ago).

Please firmly apply that belzona to my leaky pipe

The sticks on dualsense, xbox, and switch controllers are all but guaranteed to fail because of the mechanism they use. Its direct surface to surface contact that reads your stick input. This will wear overtime and cause drift. Please just get them repaired! New sticks are cheaper then new controllers! Look local for people who can replace your sticks. Hell, send them to me ill do it for cost if parts and shipping.

I just love the woman appeal discussions. On one hand you have guys claiming Vikings or Game of Thrones is so good due to its true representation of their "times", while the main female characters spend 5-6h in a makeup chair before each scene. Sure. I bet the Norse people invented Maybelline. And then when there is a real depiction of a woman in a video game, everyone compares it to the beauty standard on TV. God, it just shows you that countless men haven't seen a woman without makeup/wakeing up. Just... sad.

"I think I would be able to make better decisions..." No.

On the Insomniac female models: what about Black Cat (Felicia Hardy)? Not sexy enough?
