Defining Duke, Episode 62: New Bethesda Game Leaks + Halo Infinite In Trouble

All is quiet on the Xbox front as they churn away on their plans for late 2022. In the meantime, fans are beginning to get a tad restless and with the recent update on Halo Infinite, it seems those feelings may persist. Delays, developers leaving, and an unclear road map paint a not so good picture for the service game. Beyon...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 58: The Xbox Direct

Xbox is growing mighty large these days with Zenimax in house and, hopefully by summer 2023, Activision as well. This will present Xbox with a plethora of riches and a relatively good problem to have. That problem being, they have so many games to show off and how they approach such a monumental task? They must still honor th...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 170: 22 Questions With Colin

It's been a while since we've conducted a Colin-centric mailbag -- you'd have to go back to November to find the last one -- but the wait, my friends, is over. On today's Q&A special, I delve into many a fan-submitted topic. How ugly is Babylon Fall's reception and performance? Has developing games given me a new out...

KnockBack, Episode 213: Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)

While Ghost in the Shell began its life as a manga in the late '80s, the 1995 animated feature film that interpreted its story is what most people are familiar with. Created by renowned artist and writer Masamune Shirow and brought to the big screen by Mamoru Oshii, Ghost in the Shell deals with surprisingly heady subject mat...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 169: Uncharted Movie Spoilercast and Review Discussion

Tom Holland as Nathan Drake? On paper, it's a tough sell. But, having seen the Uncharted film in all its big-screen glory, we were left surprised. Why? Because Holland's Drake is a lot better than we thought it'd be. Indeed, the entire film is. Not everything is well done -- are they kidding with Mark Wahlberg's rendition of ...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 192: Modern Warfare

The eyes of the world are on Eastern Europe, where the Russian invasion of Ukraine has unsettled the post-World War II order. Perhaps not surprisingly, external forces in the west are bringing their economic might to bear to help halt the senseless violence. While Ukrainian politicians ask the gaming industry to do more, some...

Defining Duke, Episode 61: Obsidian Making Fallout New Vegas 2 + Game Pass To Steam Deck

A new Fallout game has long been the request of the Dukes, especially Matty. Finally, we have a nugget of information that suggests this one day might finally become a reality. If reports are to be believed then the talks have begun in earnest at Microsoft to make this a reality. What does this mean for the likes of Fallout 7...

Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 57: Mark Darrah on BioWare, Dragon Age 4, & EA's Impact

Mark Darrah spent over 20 years with BioWare and has overseen its many incredible RPGs such as Baldur's Gate, Knights Of The Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and most notably on his portfolio, Dragon Age. He was also present during the pre-EA era and experienced much of the changes within the company after BioWare had ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 168: Fighting Frenzy

We like to be as all-encompassing as possible here on Sacred Symbols. PlayStation, after all, is a mighty large topic. Yet -- between the three of us -- there are some games and genres that slip through the cracks. In our continuing effort to ameliorate that issue, I (Colin) invited fighting game expert Vince Ingenito back to...

KnockBack, Episode 212 | Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

It's no exaggeration to say that 2007's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune launched at the perfect time. Naughty Dog's Indiana Jones-and-Tomb Raider-inspired adventure was released exclusively on PlayStation 3 when the console was in dire straits, getting beaten badly on the market by both Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii. In ...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 167: Gaming While Christian

It's interesting: Nearly a third of the Earth's population is Christian, and yet they have virtually no meaningful representation in video games, whether in the products themselves, in the studios and publishers that make and manufacture them, and in the outlets and entities that cover them. Yet, on the periphery are peo...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 191: Forbidden Whispers

It's been five years since Horizon: Zero Dawn launched, and finally, we have its sequel. Forbidden West has arrived on PS5 and PS4, and it's awesome. We have a lot to say about it, so we dedicate over an hour to talking about Guerrilla's new open-world action-RPG in spoiler-free terms. But of course, we can't ignore the news....

Defining Duke, Episode 60: Xbox-Activision Deal Gets Spicy & Dragon Age 4 In Trouble

After weeks of reports, an SEC filing to the FTC has unveiled the ins-and-outs of the dealing between Xbox and Activision. It is fascinating to learn that a mere day after Phil Spencer sent out an e-mail stating he was deeply disturbed by Activision and revising their relationships that he had made the call one day later to i...
