Expanding the Map | Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast Episode 195

In recent years, Sony's first party family has grown mightily, with sensical additions like Housemarque, Insomniac, Bluepoint, and others filling obvious roles. That's why the outright purchase of fledgling, game-less second party partner Haven is a little confusing. Yet, through the lens of the modern industry -- which is crunched by worker shortages, high budgets, and even higher expectations -- perhaps this acquisition can be justified from personnel, creative, and even geographic perspectives. Either way, let's welcome Haven to the family with a candid discussion about what Sony's turn in strategy may mean. Plus: Gran Turismo 7 is a complete mess, The Witcher IV has been officially acknowledged, Rocksteady's Suicide Squad game has been delayed, NFL football is coming to PSVR, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! Do we believe in the 'metaverse'? Are we tired of crafting systems? Does Hogwarts Legacy have any chance of being treated fairly by the media? What happens to Sacred Symbols when Colin dies? All of this (and more!) on the other side of play.

I really liked both Horizon games and platinumed both but for some reason they just aren't very memorable to me. I love the world but I don't connect with the characters so I view it as B tier Sony franchise. Overall I enjoyed Tsushima more which has the same open world structure but I think the theme, story and characters connected with me more.

“Whataboutism” is a term used by hypicrites to justify their hypocrisy and to deflect when directly confronted on it

Shout out to all the Potential Spam bitches out there 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I loved both Horizon games and I was really excited to see all the new things incorporated in the second one. I think it’s fantastic. The negativity I’ve heard is from Souls fans saying it holds your hand, which Colin mentioned hearing as well. I loved Elden Ring and got the platinum. I also love Horizon and am working on that platinum now. I think it’s nice that not every game is the exact same. Some games have more story and map markers, and some games like to be more mysterious. It’s great to have different experiences imo.

Thanks for reading my inquiry! It was surreal hearing Colin say my name when I was half-awake listening to the podcast this morning.

Don’t know if anyone has said this but I have to say the surprise about the suicide squad delay is strange. Gotham Knights was delayed into 2022 at that point it was only a matter of time before WB pushed back SS because they were not going to release 2 DC games in one holiday season. I think Gotham Knights needed more time and we know that was not the first game that team was working on. I’m not sure if this makes sense but it was predictable from my perspective.

There was actually an official Playstation keyboard and mouse... It came with the PS2 Linux Dev Kit. They even had the PS2 logo on the mouse, and Playstation logos on the keyboard. PS3 also had an official keyboard attachment for the controller, it could be even used as a mouse pointer by using the keys as a bit of a touchpad. It kind of awkwardly connected to the top of the controller though instead of the bottom like the 360 one.

Third party controllers? The ones I had in the Atari era weren't bad. Those were super simple though. The Konix Speedking and there was one other that had suction cups on the bottom that was useful for flight sims. The ones in the NES era were crap, the Akklaim infrared controllers were just junky. There was this big ball controller that was completely useless for every game except Qbert, for some reason. On the PS2, I had the Madcatz Retrocon which wasn't terrible. The Logitech Action controller was actually better than the Sony dualshock 2's, but it doesn't do as well anymore since wifi and bluetooth interfere with its signal a lot. On my PC and some of the classic consoles I use some 8bitdo controllers, which are decent.

On you Ubi comments. Just got the plat for the PS3 version of Watch Dogs 1 to go along with my PS4 version. Plat 129. Best WD game in my opinion. Great story.

I swear to God of Dustin keeps saying "no doubt" I'm gonna rip off my ears.

Referring to Unreal Engine 5 — we did recently get the Matrix demo that was running on UE5. I have to admit I am really excited for CP Project Red and their new direction of engine for Witcher 4. They will be able to build quicker and have better AI systems in place (especially when you see how great the matrix demo performs).

Lmao nah this is just what people who argue in bad faith say. Whataboutism is used to shout HYPOCRITE without actually refuting an argument. More than one thing can be bad at once and those things can be called out and argued against individually.

LOL LMAO ROFL, but if there being a hypocrite why would I argue with them? You can call things out individually but if yo ur e upset at individual things without being upset at other similar individual things, you’re a hypocrite and the “wHaTabOutIsM” is a valid point because your opinion is less valid if you’re a hypocrite, it’s just selective outrage to go with whatever is hip at the time
