Sacred Symbols, Episode 374 | This Is What It's Like When Worlds Collide
Added 2025-08-29 16:00:26 +0000 UTCNew leaks from friend-of-the-show MLiD have given us a deeper glimpse into Sony's plans for PlayStation 6, especially when it comes to the rumored handheld iteration, codenamed Canis. It appears this device -- slated as part of a potential trio of PS6 hardware due out in '27 -- will be affordable, powerful, and perhaps most surprisingly dockable. With all first party competitors now occupying space (Nintendo, Valve) or chasing a presence (Sony, Microsoft) in the handheld realm, it seems like things could get very spicy on multiple fronts. Allow us to discuss in minute detail. Plus: Hermen Hulst gives a rare interview, Ken Levine emerges with hot-off-the-presses details about Judas, Sony reveals its first four incubated products in the MENA Hero Project, it'll now be easier to request a refund on PSN, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Some 14 years after release, what are our thoughts on Catherine? Could a major Xbox announcement be lurking in Sony's reported September showcase? How does Hello Games and No Man's Sky survive by giving so much away for free? Is Where's Waldo nothing more than an unconvincing psy-op?

Maybe I need to try the bioshock franchise again, but to me, it’s a good but not spectacular series. I do get Colin’s excitement for certain titles you just love. Death Stranding 2 was hard not to just watch every single interview and trailer. Also for Fallout. Fallout is an exceptional series and I’m always on board for what’s next.

2025-09-05 13:28:39 +0000 UTCWhat if Shuhei was minding the Concord ship? Shu said he was involved with Concord during that time/process... So maybe Sony has already acted accordingly and it was Shuhei who ultimately paid the price. He is so beloved (and deservingly so) that it actually makes sense that they would disguise his exit as something else. Same goes for Ryan, no doubt... he "paid the price", too.
