Maybe this will go better than when Dustin pretended he could help Colin play Kingdom Hearts.

It's time! Please welcome Punching Up co-host Gene Park and Atari producer Jason Polansky back to Sacred+. Today, the guys join me (Colin) for a deep and wide-ranging conversation concerning Sucker Punch's newest PlayStation exclusive, Ghost of Yotei. A follow-up to 2020's PS4 swan song Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei takes place more than three centuries after the former game, in a wildly different part of Japan, with a fresh protagonist and an all-new plot focused on revenge. But the real...

For those with specific use cases, the PlayStation Portal has always been awesome. But Sony has been quietly bolstering the device over the last two years, and with its newest update, it's become more powerful than ever. Those with a PS+ Essential subscription can now purchase and stream nearly 3,000 games directly to the device without any sort of console tether, a major step-up for a peripheral once reliant on PS5. What's it all mean for the future of PlayStation? We discuss! Plus: New cros...

Please welcome developer, academic, and US Senate candidate Chris Volpe to Sacred Symbols+. Chris is a darkhorse for the Democratic nomination in Ohio in the 2026 race, and I (Colin) invited him to the show to discuss the intersection of video games and politics, but not in a partisan or ideological fashion. (So, if you're afraid we're going to get into foreign policy, immigration, or other hot-button topics, fear not.) Rather, we focus our conversation around one simple question, and then sp...

An old piece of games industry lore has recently reemerged, and it has people wondering about a tantalizing what-if. Back in 1999, The Matrix hit theaters, and the co-creators of the film happened to have been huge fans of Hideo Kojima, himself a year removed from the launch of Metal Gear Solid. And, as was reported at the time, there was potential that Konami would allow Kojima to pursue a licensed Matrix game post-MGS. A lot of new information has since emerged about what did and didn't hap...

Following months of swirling rumors, Halo Combat Evolved has its remake. It's called Halo Campaign Evolved and you can play it next year on Xbox, PC, and yes, even PlayStation! It has everything from sprinting to aiming down sights, but more surprising is the new content found within. Cutscenes have been entirely reshot, new prequel missions are being added to the game, new weapons are getting thrown in there, and even the warthog saw an expansion to it. Cog and Gene had the opportunity to go...
