Sacred Symbols, Episode 350 | The Unending Sixth Extinction
Added 2025-03-14 16:00:20 +0000 UTC
This week, Sacred Symbols is a Kojima Fanboy Podcast... for a little while, anyway. Finally -- finally! -- we have a release date for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and it's fairly close, arriving on PlayStation 5 in late June. And as a deep love for Kojima is perhaps the biggest gaming stance all three Sacred hosts share, we thought we'd spend some time getting hyped up following an all-new 10 minute trailer, collector's edition and pre-order details, and so on. Other news this week includes word of major forthcoming updates to PS5 Pro, the leak of a mysterious PSP game called STAMP that was never greenlit into production, the announcement of PowerWash Simulator 2 (!) from FuturLab, rumors of imminent PS5 releases for Indiana Jones and an Oblivion Remake, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! What do we think of the reveal that Naughty Dog's Intergalactic will deal with religion as a central theme? Do we have any thoughts about the copious leaks from the recent Battlefield playtests? How will MLB: The Show 25 shape-up in its first current-gen-only PlayStation outing? Does Dustin have a serious misconception of what some people actually do when listening to our shows?

Please just read every Chris tweet from the last 3 months on the show before he lectures us on the, literal quote, "the media literacy" of the LSM community. If he's telling the truth why does he mask himself behind his "yeah I dunno". You guys are such up your own ass it's unreal

Colin, I can’t help but feel your plan to play DS1 and DS2 back to back is going to be a disaster.. that to me screams future burnout. Whatever about doing it for Spider-man, but Death Stranding is obviously much, much bigger and I can’t help but feel your opinion of DS2 could be influenced negatively by this plan.. just putting it out there, obviously do what you want!

I think they should just stop reading comments. You can still engage with the audience through the thread/listener inquiries. You're never going to get everyone on their best behavior or same page with over 13,000 patrons. Also, can we stop talking about the rss feeds. It's not a big deal and Colin's acting like it's the end of the world for people that don't like it. Everyone will get used to the change. Stop devoting 10 minutes of an episode addressing it.

So Colin why did collector editions come with a physical copy for decades if it was a printing timing issue?
Your argument for why it doesn't come with a physical copy goes against modern history even.
The true reason why is to make more money plain and simple.
If it was truly an issue they could ship a disc separately at launch.
callisto protocol did this with the collectors edition.

People who constantly spread negativity just need something better to do. They need to get busy improving their own lives. The reality is that 98% of us simply enjoy LSM’s content without even noticing the negativity—unless it gets brought up on the shows. Sure, a small group of about 23 people might be loud, but the 40,000+ of us are here to support the company, the creators, and each other as listeners.

My biggest hang up on the “collectors edition” debate is in the name. It’s not the collectors edition of Game X if it doesn’t come with game X. Its not an edition of the game at all. It’s just… a collectors kit of stuff for game X. Words & names matter.

2025-03-15 15:11:35 +0000 UTC
It’s definitely the climate - but realistically people also need to keep that discourse and toxicity where it belongs and that is NOT on a PlayStation podcast forum. Haha
The Devmeister
2025-03-15 15:07:09 +0000 UTC
I agree about the political discourse in podcasts.
I just don’t understand at all why commenters get so toxic on the forum for a PlayStation podcast haha. Also why people listen to these guys and Micah yet slang so much hate towards them. I don’t agree with all their opinions but the vitriol is completely unnecessary - just keep it chill and STAND DOWN! 🤣

Just my two cents on ad-free video:
Render one with ads, one without. The one without stays unlisted on YouTube forever. The one with ads is the live version.
Making a video go out to 1000’s unlisted, then making it live 3 days later, is almost as suicidal as not using ads algorithmically, and imo its why you’d don’t grow on YT much.
You won’t get any algorithm benefit having seperate audiences on one video.
Having a public video where all non-patrons jump in at once to a fresh 0 views video is much better. You could even schedule a premiere to increase visibility then and optionally earn money through super chats or memberships if you wanted on YT.
I’m a decent sized YouTuber, ask Matty, I’m sure he’d tell you the same.

don’t take the high ground doge, i’ve seen your comments basically do the opposite in glazing everything trump does, ie your username…
however the comments really only get political if the show talks about it. last week tariffs were discussed, so some of the comments brought it up. i’m not saying for the show to not bring up politics bc it is important, and people DO need to be respectful, but at the same time they can’t be surprised if people are discussing it since it’s such a sensitive topic nowadays and we hear it in the show.

Is it possible that the issue with this community is simply the size? Back when CLS started it was much smaller. I don’t remember these issues. But now the audience is way bigger and politics are only getting more and more heated. People care more about being smart than they do about being kind, so they fall down whatever conspiratorial rabbit holes they like the best. I think Colin is being far too optimistic. He keeps saying he wants people to “control themselves” but let’s be honest- they can’t.

They probably wouldn’t bring that up since it has nothing to do with PlayStation. They generally only cover Xbox if it also pertains to PlayStation in some way, like multi platform releases and acquisitions.

I honestly thought the real reason they don't put discs in collectors editions anymore is because a lot of ps5 owners don't even have a disc drive, whether its the digital ps5 or the ps5 pro. So just to cut out any confusion it's just all digital codes. Plus the Series S on the xbox side

Death Stranding 2 looked really good. I played like 5 hours of the first game and just wasn’t feeling it. This trailer though got me to re-buy it on PS5 and I’m going to give it another try.
The reason why people are annoyed that Debra Wilson is in the game might not be the same reason why I am (though I think it is). My main reason goes back to not liking actual people or actors being “cast” in the game. I don’t want one person to be 90 different characters in games. I don’t go to games to get a Hollywood feel. I know Kojima gets real people for some of his games but I just don’t like the trend. It completely takes me out of the experience.
Also about Dustin talking about religion in Intergalactic. I get what you mean Dustin, it’s interesting when something does something different with different talking points about a subject. I’d argue though that the whole berating religion is the trope and actually saying good things about it would be something different for a change. I can’t really think of a game in recent memory that touches on it in a good way. A lot of JRPGs usually go the route of the church is actually evil thing and it’s done decently most of the time but it’s sorta the same thing over and over
