Note: Due to a scheduling conflict, we're rearranging the schedule this week by releasing Defining Duke Ultimate today and Sacred Symbols+ tomorrow. This is not a permeant change and we'll be back on our normal schedule next week.

PlayStation has delivered a sample size of what to expect in their renovated service that will attempt to stand toe-to-toe with Xbox Game Pass. With Matty and Cog being Game Pass vets, we know that PlayStation Plus will need time to establish an identity much like its competitor did. So, with that, we take an early inspection...

The fifth season of Game of Thrones, which first aired on HBO in 2015, represents somewhat of a plateau for the critically-acclaimed show. While the first four seasons presented a steady progression in quality, intrigue, and execution, season five seems outright rushed, with too much content in too little time. It's still awe...

It's a little slow in the games industry right now, so let's enjoy the quiet. For the first time ever, I (Colin) conducted a mailbag-centric episode using Discord inquiries only. Our Discord, nearing 5,000 strong and made up of all $5+/month LSM Patrons, provides a different flavor of inquiry, but ones still very much in line...

Sony's annual financial report brings with it good news for the brand. PlayStation, as usual, is the most important vertical in its corporate family in Japan, pulling in the most revenue and raking in the highest profit (even more than Sony Pictures, currently in a renaissance of its own). Yet, with PlayStation 5 do...

Xbox and Bethesda's partnership was destined to bear fruit in 2022. Now, that has been pushed back as it has been confirmed that Starfield and Redfall are now slated for the first half of 2023. To say this is catastrophic would be an understatement even if it means we receive better games at the end of the road. The showcase,...

Following a major network outage for Xbox, the rumors of Xbox Everywhere hit a little different. While an all digital future has much promise, as spotlighted in our last DDU, knowing how easily all of that could vanish calls us back to the table for an incidental part two to this discussion. Is a smart TV app or streaming puc...

We promised we would break down our individual lists, and now we're here to deliver. I (Dustin), will be revealing my full list of the top 25 PS4 games I submitted for Sacred 200. Are there a few weeb games on there? Sure. All the PS4 FromSoftware hits? Absolutely. Along with those, there may be a few that even shock you. Rem...

At first blush, Sam Raimi wasn't a natural fit to direct a Spider-Man film, and yet his 2002 entry into the series did awesome at the box office and is much-beloved to this day. Two years later, he -- along with Tobey Mcguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and others -- delivered Spider-Man 2, an even better film than the orig...

Producer note: I'm aware of the choppiness of my face cam. I've been working on my new camera setup and thought I was downsampling a 4K image to 1080p for ultimate clarity, but I accidentally was in actual 4K and screwed up the recording. I flew too close to the sun. :(...
As you no doubt remember, tech company NVIDIA inadvertently leaked a shit-ton of games in September of 2021, falling victim to database scraping that revealed the existence of many unannounced projects from far outside its own walls. Though the company desperately tried to deny the veracity of the data, as did some ...

The Embracer Group's appetite for developers cannot be satiated. The never-ending expansion of what is rapidly becoming gaming's largest publishing entity has gobbled up three more studios from rival Square Enix (as well as a bunch of IP) for cash money. Does this say anything about Embracer? Probably not. It s...

It's been a busy week in gaming. Between Square Enix, WB Games, and Ubisoft, the acquisition conversation has never been hotter and now with a move by Embracer yet another piece has been removed from the chess board. Bringing this Embracer Group to a staggering 14,000 employees and 200+ games in development, this move to acqu...

In a sobering conversation, Matty and Cog talk about the direction our industry is trending in. Standing on the edge of the abyss, we talk about the AAA power players who are shaking off traditional game development as they chase down the likes of blockchain gaming. With NPD data showing that physical game collecting is now a...

As you're no doubt aware, we recently recorded Sacred Symbols 200 in front of a live audience, which we've even more recently released to the public via YouTube and audio feeds. While not a major production, Sacred 200 was nonetheless an enormous feat for an operation our size, and we're frankly really proud of it, from stem ...
