Sacred Symbols, Episode 350 | The Unending Sixth Extinction

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?

Queefer Sutherland broke me 🤣🤣🤣

Marco Maluf

Mega mans awesome tho, and the franchise hasn't gotten fuck all in like a decade

Bailey Callis

bro chill

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

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

Andrew

Colin is built different to us normies

Beaver diva

Games Im playing this week, Fallout 76 (daily challenges) Cozy Grove(Daily Quests) Dungeon Top Game of Life 2 Mostly just short experience games for now as I’m catching up on shows I’m watching.

Robbie Cooper

11:57 Chris wasn't impressed with the Patreon tiers lol

I ate George Washington's ill-fitting dentures

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!

Cormac

Agreed, the big bad religion storyline is tired

Ahlickaloo

Chris never ceases to amaze me with his stupidity in regard to laughing at tragic things that happen to animals.

Butthole Surfers

I will never get got with this 3 day early access bullshit, lol

Jacob Lesperance

I’m glad someone finally gave Colin shit for constantly asking for more Megaman!

Glen Yelenovic

Haha I felt that way for a long time but I dunno it's kinda soothing now after hearing it thousands of times 😂.

Caleb Engle

All I ask if for Chris to not to answer every question with "Yeah...I dunno"

Andrew

Ayyy Runescape shout out at the end! I still play that shit. I recommend looking into the falador massacre. Very similar to the corrupted blood WOW incident.

Eric the human

Every time Colin "umm actually it isn't one of the best JRPGs" 's on Chrono Trigger I audibly say "I hope you never get another megaman game in your lifetime"

dead again

Chris saying “come on what are we doing” while Colin is doing the Patreon housekeeping was like a real time Lockmort edit 🤣

Play me like a Bionicle

Holy shit Dustin I remember Pushmo. I played this way back in the early 3DS days. It is a great game indeed. Thanks for reminding me of a core memory.

Cyprus Davis

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.

Mike Held

Colin wastes his time watching Karen freak outs, body cam videos, and predator hunters. Not exactly high brow content...

Mike Held

Can we get a Sacred+ episode with both Dan Harmon and Dan Houser? I want Dan Houser on how he would improve Dan Harmon products and vice versa.

Jerry McCoy

I could give a shit what Colin thinks. I come here to listen to a PlayStation podcast and they constantly have to address the current state of their commenters and I’m like bro who cares just talk about shitting your pants and PlayStation please 😂

The Devmeister

lol bro speaks for Colin apparently

Adam Barnes

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.

Wayde

Dustin clapping back at Colin with the Megaman comment was hilarious!

Tim

True, but to be fair Xbox is offering digital or physical for Doom: The Dark Ages. PS could absolutely do the same.

Nick Vieu

Colin bashing One Piece like he doesn’t love the most mid media imaginable.

Thomas

Definitely cranked it with you in the background lol

Jackie Rheu

Was really hoping for a Chris Trump “Everything’s computer!?”

Gray Gordon

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.

Caleb Engle

This episode gets off to a rowdy start!! Love it!

Del Griffith

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.

Kenneth Koepnick

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

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! 🤣

The Devmeister

You get treated with the disrespect you deserve.

DOGE enthusiast

thank you for continuing to prove my point and Colin's

peanutbutterloveer

Fucking losing it over this episode's cover art 🤣🤣🤣

Chris's Closeted Weeabo Side

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.

WhatDarrenPlays

I’m not trying to take the high ground, I simply said people like you are annoying cry babies and I’m unable to help myself. I just didn’t NameDrop you and yet you still found a way

DOGE enthusiast

The One Piece is indeed real 🔥🤣

Romeo

Dustin getting a little saucey at the start, love it 😅

Yalingo

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.

peanutbutterloveer

Excellent thumbnail Dustin

dead again

It’s hard to deny the behavior going sideways with growth, but I really do think it’s the current climate more than the size of the community.

Dante B

I can take jokes all day buddy. But being offensive and belittling people because you think you better then everyone isn't a joke. I'm not mad about it. Just calling it out. Calm down guys

Kevin Miller

There's no lack of awareness at all.

Kevin Miller

Gatekeeper of kindness

Stephen Lucey

The word you're looking for is "edifying" Colin. Art can be just entertaining or edifying

Jake Z

What do you mean you don’t wanna see the same 10-15 people whining in the commons about whatever Trump/musk did the following week? Honestly they take the joy out of it and I’m to stupid to leave it alone

DOGE enthusiast

There’s nothing wrong with Chris but clearly there is something wrong with you. STAND DOWN! 🤣

The Devmeister

What I don’t understand is this is a VIDEO GAME podcast with jackasses that talk about dumb shit and it’s hilarious and informative. I come here to escape not to talk about the state of the world or politics. Every one needs to chill out. STAND DOWN PEOPLE! 🤣

The Devmeister

The thumbnail is cursed

GenesisPoint

This place was a lot friendlier in the beginning, that’s for certain. The biggest asshole back then was Jesse, I almost miss him

Adam Barnes

This thumbnail is top Tier boys 👌

lazer_josh

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.

Diddy’s Dong Quest

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.

Bogey

No YOU are what’s wrong with this country. Not your political alignment, but your inability to even hear other points of view or take a joke without getting mad about it.

Bogey

😅🤣

Robbie Agnew

Dustin giving me PTSD reminding me of that episode of Black Mirror. 😭

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

respect

Eric the human

I'm surprised Colin doesn't think religion will be a major part of Intergalactic. I mean the subtitle is literally "The Heretic Prophet". I don't know how much more you can evoke religious themes other than that

Zac

Comical lack of self awareness here. You are the exact person he’s talking about.

Dante B

Geez, i didn’t even listen to the podcast yet

DOGE enthusiast

cringe man, comments like yours are the problem.

peanutbutterloveer

Kevin Miller

Hahahahahahahaha

Adam Barnes

I’m not superstitious… but I am a little stitious

Adam Barnes

I really like these episode lengths, beyond 4 hours feels like too much but this is much more digestible to me.

Drew Hamilton

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

Tanner Triv

oooooh yeeeeuuhhhh

Louis Armstrong transforms into Louis Strongarm by shouting WOW, Shazam-style

WHAT A THUMBNAIL

Robbie Agnew

Wonder if this story happened to late for this episode for anyone to comment about Xbox taking Alan Wake Remake out of your library even if you bought it but not at the price point they wanted. Also removing all the mistaken free copies.

Jason Thompson

ban this man

Halphworm

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

PairOfShuse

Damn all this conduct code talk is nontent though

Stephen Lucey

“Someone has probably jerked it with our content on”. I wait all week for Friday just TO jerk it with them on in the background.

Garrett Shelton

The thumbnail is a potential Tshirt

Marcos Aquino Pimentel

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve cranked it with LSM on and I’ll do it again.

Dante B

I read the Neil interview. TLOU 2 is one of my favorite games of all time I’m really glad they laugh at the hate. Cream always rises to the top you dusty bitches. 😂

Big titty drinker

I’ve not even listened this podcast. I might never listen to it. I’ve just come here to say I want this thumbnail printed off super large and hung over the head of my bed. And I don’t care what my wife has to say about it.

Benji_B2sick

Chris, the word you're looking for is telomeres (a marker of age)

DRoot21

This is the best thumbnail you have ever done - genuinely laugh out loud like a mad man

Gabriel SG

I heard Chris say “oh come on, what are we doing” and was so confused 🤣🤣

Ross Stoddart

The actual Japanese word for "one piece" translates better into English as "MacGuffin"

Pauly Twos

That dog drug supposedly only extends life by about one year only

My guy this thumbnail 😂😂

Doug Abaire

I’m glad you didn’t think I’m crazy Colin lol it’s going to be pretty cool if my hunch is right

Ben Haner

That thumbnail! 💯

Dustin wasn't having a crumb of One Piece slander today

Love when Colin was reading the normal rigamarole that Chris said, "Oh Come on, what are we doing!?" 😂😂😂 Sometimes technical difficulties create some good humor

This thumbnail 😂

Stu Pedasso

That thumbnail is eldritch

Deemac

Holy shit hahahaha I need this shirt. Please.

Not gonna lie I read “Kojima Femboy Podcast” at first.
