It's not uncommon for older games to get new coats of paint, but not all remakes and remasters are of the caliber of 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. 21 years later, we now have Metal Gear Solid Delta, an Unreal Engine 5-driven remake of Konami's PlayStation 2 classic stealth-action offering that's both true to the original and fully modernized. To talk about the whole package, I (Colin) invited Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Punching Up's Gene Park for a 2+ hour conversation...

Name any random PlayStation IP from the days of yore, and people will claim to want it back. One such franchise is Sucker Punch's long-dormant Sly Cooper trilogy, the third game of which is now 20 years old. (And yes, we got a fourth Sly game from Sanzaru in 2013, but it's not like many of you played it.) A recent interview indicates there are very few people at Sony's Washington-based studio interested in returning to the Thievius Raccoonus, and perhaps for good reason. After all, they want ...

Much of the conversation surrounding Game Pass and its sustainability has been about whether or not it can turn a profit. The Dukes themselves have pondered on this very subject for dozens of episodes. At this point, Game Pass is here to stay. The conversation has evolved from how much money the service makes to whether or not it dramatically impacts how games are made. At first, PlayStation alumni Shawn Layden brought attention to this subject. While well respected and incredibly knowledgabl...

Please welcome the hosts of the popular PlayStation podcast Click R3 to Sacred Symbols+! Today, we publish a crossover for the ages, as Ryan (MysticRyan) and John (Spawn Wave) join me (Colin), Chris, and Dustin for a lengthy conversation about a number of topics. Key among them is Helldivers 2, specifically its highly-successful launch on Xbox Series X|S. At roughly a million copies sold and counting, has Sony found a fruitful new avenue to explore for future releases? Should we expect to see...

While Ghost of Yotei has gone gold and is now right around the corner, other segments of PlayStation Studios are on far less sturdy ground. Fairgames (or Fairgame$, if you like marketing) is seemingly the latest victim of an unprecedented run of bad decision-making, execution, and leadership within Sony's first party, as the upcoming shooter has shed its director, often (though not always) a dire sign for any project. Taken with recent reports (from this very show) of poor internal playtestin...

Today in news that we wish we never knew about: Xbox's reboot of Perfect Dark was nearly saved! Their dance partner? Take Two Interactive who serves as publisher of Rockstar. Yes, indeed, a recent report states that these two were working out a deal similar to Xbox selling off Tango Gameworks alongside the Hi Fi Rush IP to Krafton in order to help the company. Unfortunately, a falling out between both sides occurred over an IP ownership dispute. Now, Perfect Dark is doomed to sit in "IP Jail"...

It's me, Colin. Please help me in welcoming Chris Ray Gun and Lockmort back to Sacred+ for a host permutation (as far as we can tell) that's never been achieved... until now! We gather for a deep-dive into Hangar 13's recent release, the fourth Mafia adventure subtitled The Old Country. Taking place in Sicily during the first decade of the 20th century, this newest project rewinds the series to an earlier time (and outside of the United States), giving us a precious glimpse into the forbearer...

New 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 ...
