Today's main topic would have set the internet on fire earlier this year. Xbox's complete admission of a mutli-platform push, delayed handheld and mobile plans, as well as a desire to acquire more studios? Team Green is typically in a meltdown state by this point, but this time around, the news was met with indifference. Why is that the case? Well, for one, many who paid close attention to Xbox's actions, or even lack of action, knew that all this was inevitable. Xbox is seemingly abandoning ...

It's been awhile since we did a mailbag episode of Sacred+, so I (Colin) thought I'd solicit some inquiries from the audience, and you guys delivered more than a hundred. I picked through your submissions and came out with 24, on topics like Dragon Quest III, Valve, the future of survival horror, 30-versus-60 frames, PlayStation 6, holiday gaming, Madden, PS5 Pro, and so much more. Please enjoy.

Welcome back red, blue and purple people, to another episode of Constellation. This week on LSM's conversational podcast, we're getting a little bit political. Now that the 2024 presidential election is behind us and the results are in, Colin, Jaffe and Dagan discuss the outcome, the winners and losers and what it all might mean as the world hurtles into 2025. Is the gang feeling optimistic, cynical, hopeful, bitter, angry or worried in the face of these imminent changes? Regardless...

Hello! It's me, Colin. Welcome back to another episode of Sacred+. The election season is now behind us, and America has a new president-elect. In Grover Cleveland-like fashion, Donald Trump is returning to the White House, and it looks like he'll be doing so with complete GOP control of the House and Senate, too. No matter who won, though, I knew I wanted to do an episode on the victorious candidate, and specifically how (if at all) their policy prescriptions and stances may affect our space...

Barriers continue to erode in our industry, with the surprising news that one-time PlayStation exclusive Death Stranding would be migrating to Xbox platforms on the fifth anniversary (to the day) of its launch on PS4. Taken along with Sony publishing games like Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade that it never owned outright to begin with -- a truly marked change from prior behavior -- what does the brand's increasing flexibility mean for its traditionally robust and powerful exclusives catal...

In a week with minimal major beats, the Dukes are able to sink their teeth into a plethora of smaller topics such as Xbox's recruitment of Insomniac's creative director, the fate of PlayStation's Wolverine project, and what this means for Perfect Dark! Furthermore, we try our hand at some data analysis by breaking down the early numbers for Call Of Duty and what impact this can have on Game Pass as well as its future. Indeed, many including us still believe that Black Ops 6 needs to be an abs...

MisterMatthew kicks things off with the trials and tribulations of midnight releases.

It's not been a good week for PlayStation's vaunted first party studios. For starters, Insomniac's long-in-development licensed Marvel title Wolverine (first revealed to the public way back in 2021) has lost both its game and creative directors, an ominous sign that something has gone seriously wrong behind-the-scenes. Meanwhile, two Sony-owned teams -- Firewalk and Neon Koi -- have been shuttered outright, ending any glimpse of a return for the troubled service game Concord, and stymying mig...

The annual Call Of Duty release is here and it's a remarkable improvement from Modern Warfare 3! From the blockbuster campaign crafted by the underrated hands at Raven Software to its multiplayer and zombies that the Dukes have some mild concerns with. It's also the week that, for many, can define a lot of Xbox's big business decisions moving forward as well! With Game Pass subscribers stagnating a bit, many have looked to this Call Of Duty as the shot in the arm it needs to keep its stellar ...

Please welcome LSM mainstay and Washington Post games reporter Gene Park to Sacred+. So, here's the rub: Days ago, WaPo published an op-ed by its billionaire owner Jeff Bezos, of Amazon and Blue Origin fame. His essay came on the back of a deeply-consequential political decision he made on behalf of his paper, but the piece -- entitled "The Hard Truth: Americans Don't Trust the News Media" -- has potential ramifications far beyond that. It's in that space that we staged today's episode of Sac...
