They're the world's most fearsome podcast team! Welcome back to Constellation! If you like those weapon-slingin' teenaged reptiles then you'll LOVE this episode's lineup! The first to wield his topic this week, Matty would like to converse with his bros about that elusive frame of mind known as 'the flow state'. What are the activities and specific talents that allow us to slip into a state of total focus, concentration and contentment. Next, driven by a cold Philadelphia winte...

Recently, gaming outlet Kinda Funny conducted an interesting two-plus hour interview with exiting PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida, who has opted to leave Sony after nearly 40 years at the company, with more than 30 working on PlayStation itself. And while he's typically a very disciplined interviewee -- well media-trained and loath to spill the beans -- this interview is easily his most interesting one yet. Unrestrained by a megalithic corporation for the first time ever, Shu had a lot t...

Insomniac Games' co-founder Ted Price is retiring from the company after a storied 30 year career, but it's what he's leaving behind in his stead that's truly curious: A three-person CEO grouping, virtually unheard of in the corporate world, that hopes to leverage the unique skills of each person. When taken into account with PlayStation's new co-CEO structure, it makes us wonder if Sony seeks to spread the field instead of focus decision-making and responsibility on a single person. Is that ...

The January Developer Direct has come and gone! With it, Xbox has finally achieved what many fans have desperately sought out for them to do since this generation started back in 2020: Have consistent releases in the front half of the year. Indeed, you'll be getting three major games from them between April 8th and May 15th on Game Pass. Those titles are Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, South Of Midnight, and DOOM: The Dark Ages. That's not all as the mysterious fourth (fifth?) showing is a stron...

Hello! It's me, Colin, returning to host Constellation for the first time in... well... quite awhile. Dagan was actually supposed to helm this episode -- I was going to appear as the fourth, topic-less guest -- but he got pulled into a work meeting at the last minute leaving me in the lead chair, and today's show as a trio. As such, please welcome Punching Up co-host Gene Park and LSM legal analyst Rick Hoeg back to the program. We start with Gene this week, who wants to talk about the immine...

Hello! It's me, Colin. Please help me in welcoming a couple of familiar faces back to Sacred+, as well as a pair of newcomers making their first appearance: Barry Johnson, Lachlan Pini, Josh Davis, and Joshua Gossage. I've assembled this particular crew because these four guys are the creative team behind Tri Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Odyssey, the newest game from the indie studio I co-own with Barry, Lillymo. It's a direct sequel to Twin Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Adventure, which we first re...

We had already finished this recording when surprising news broke in the world of PlayStation: Sony has cancelled two of its upcoming, unannounced games. And -- would you believe it? -- they were both live service titles, including a God of War spin-off. The really unfortunate news, however, is who was making these titles: Bend and Bluepoint, two smaller AAA teams that typically work on a single project at a time, thus wasting years of development, as well as time and resources that can never...

As expected, the Xbox Developer_Direct is set to arrive soon and it will boast four games. Those titles are South Of Midnight, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and a mysterious fourth game that's rumored to be from a "legendary Japanese IP." Naturally, the Dukes have many guesses about that, but also if there will the be usual fifth game that shows up like it has since Developer Direct became a thing. We won't have to wait long to find out. What we'll need to wait a while for...

It's me, Colin. I'll be honest: I've been distressed by some recent comments and DMs suggesting there's some sort of rift between David Jaffe and myself, or that he hasn't been on our programming for a while for reasons other than scheduling and space. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why anyone would think I wouldn't have Jaffe on the show anymore full-stop, particularly because I don't keep up with the in-the-trenches industry drama from which many of these feelings emanated. Do you really t...
