It was just a couple of weeks ago that we were discussing the newest PlayStation 5 Pro rumors, and now we have fresh scuttlebutt to parse through, particularly concerning our precious framerates and the potential of the still-unannounced console. But we can't help but also wonder what PS5's market potential will be. Will it spread the field or, as it's recently been suggested, merely sell to existing PS5 players? Heck, is there any saving console gaming at all in the long-term? Let's take some time to chat about all of that, plus other news: Helldivers 2's new patch, day-one games coming to PS+ Extra, Silent Hill 2 Remake's ESRB rating, revised PlayStation 2 sales numbers, and so much more. Then: Listener inquiries! How much to we absorb a given game's internal lore, codices, documentation, and so on? Are we ever going to figure out what a 'Soulsborne' actually is? Could a new Shark Tank-like show aimed at indie games help exciting products find their audience? Is Dustin hiding anything else from Colin and Chris that he'd like to talk about?Start building credit at https://www.chime.com/sacredPlease keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:27:41 - Is game drama exclusive on Twitter?0:44:39 - Universal LSM fans0:59:49 - Retro PlayStation Magazine1:04:05 - Chris's Red Pants1:12:37 - Tips for moving in together1:18:10 - IGN's Zelda April Fools1:21:19 - PlayStation Store Spring Sale1:27:56 - New PS5 Pro news1:41:51 - Helldivers 2 update1:44:42 - PS+ Game Catalogue Day One games1:50:55 - New PS2 sales data1:57:16 - Portal hack reported to Sony2:01:38 - Silent Hill 2 rated2:19:10 - KOTOR Remake is alive2:29:03 - Dragon's Dogman 2 Sales2:29:59 - Unicorn Overlord 500k Copies sold2:31:47 - Hollow Knight: Silksong incoming?2:37:33 - PS5 Minecraft port2:40:12 - What are we playing?3:33:30 - Do we read collectibles and lore?3:44:51 - "this will make me sound like a hater"3:54:20 - Updated thoughts on the Portal4:08:48 - What does SoulsBorne really mean?4:20:54 - Pixel Pitch4:31:20 - Post-game emptiness Learn more about your ad choices.
