Sacred Symbols, Episode 388 | Broken Records Wanna Make A Case

When it comes to the evolving gaming market, there's a lot for Sony to keep an eye on in the years and decades to come. To keep PlayStation the vibrant brand it is today, the company needs to spread the field, and two newly-announced projects -- an all-new co-op multiplayer game from the director of Left 4 Dead and a mobile port of mega-popular baseball franchise MLB: The Show -- fit the bill nicely. It's true that Sony has had more than its fair share of false starts (and even outright failu...

Defining Duke, Episode 257 | Is Clockwork Revolution Dropping In 2026?!

Despite any gripes with Xbox this year, there's no denying that 2026 presents a fun challenge for them. Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo, and Gears Of War E-Day are all slated to drop next year. However, a new wrinkle has been introduced in the ambitious RPG, Clockwork Revolution, which hails from inXile Entertainment. After a seven minute trailer from this summer's showcase, we felt this thing had to be ready to go soon. Sadly, the RPG titan tempered our expectations when the trailer ended with ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 488 | Is Cloud Gaming the Future?

Please welcome Christian Polson-Brown to Sacred+. Christian is the marketing manager of the Australia-based GeForce NOW partner Pentanet, and I (Colin) invited him to the show to discuss his industry and his craft. Here's the thing: I'm not so sure I believe in cloud gaming as the be-all/end-all future for gaming. But as Christian tells it, that's not really what the purveyors of this new way of play are attempting. Rather, the use of cloud gaming could be supplemental, situational, or based ...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 387 | Price You Gotta Pay When You Break the Panorama

Two months ago, a now-fired Sucker Punch developer lost her job due to an ill-timed social media post, and she's been fairly quiet ever since, at least until now. In a new article, artist Drew Harrison talks about what befell her, but -- truth be told -- she seems to have missed the biggest part of her own story: How much she could have (and did) harm the hundreds of other people that worked for years on Ghost of Yotei, only to disrupt the entire marketing roll-out of the game on the precipic...

Defining Duke, Episode 256 | Xbox Hardware Prices Are Going Up AGAIN...?

Thanks to the likes of OpenAI, hardware manufacturers are scrambling to adjust prices amidst a shortage of RAM. As a result, things are about to become more expensive again! Unlike companies like Lenovo or PlayStation who seemingly bought stock in advance to help avoid price shock, Xbox appears to be ready to pass this one onto the consumer. Naturally, the "Xbox refugees" have turned their attention toward the Steam Machine which could fill a void in our gamer hearts. However, the Dukes find ...
