Show notes
This has been an exciting week in Sacred Symbols World. We're riding high off of our two hour interview with ex-Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida, and we're eager to reminisce and reflect on it. (You can watch or listen for yourself on Sacred Symbols+.) But as far as news is concerned? Well, this week is a little slower than most, which is why we packed extra listener inquiries into the show, and still covered what was there: Fresh rumors of a Tony Hawk 3+4 Remastered Collection, leaker updates concerning Square Enix's remakes of Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, clarity on HBO's seasonal plans with The Last of Us, the potential emergence of a major Rainbow Six Siege update, and much more. As usual, we then round things out with listener inquiries on a variety of subjects. What are our thoughts about the recent layoffs on the Marvel Rivals team? Does SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku run the risk of overexposing the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise? Why are many creators so eager to politically and socially alienate their audiences? Is Colin on the verge of converting to Islam?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.Timestamps:0:00:00 - Intro0:12:23 - Clipping our show0:22:25 - Status of TLOU2 Season 2 spoilercasts and Side Quest0:31:29 - Patreon RSS changes0:48:00 - Gaming full circle moment0:50:08 - RIP Bullet0:56:21 - Husky problems1:13:50 - Colin's secret identity1:17:37 - Colin's Italian citizenship1:31:38 - Last week's stolen idea1:34:47 - Roger Clark meeting1:42:46 - Creating stories in Civilization1:51:01 - Colin got Radec'ed1:59:01 - Lost Soul Aside is getting a physical release2:03:29 - Final Fantasy IX remake rumors2:08:24 - Xbox will start including PS5 logos during events2:15:39 - THPS 3+4 remake is real2:23:15 - System Shock 2 remake is coming2:28:43 - Rainbow Six Siege X2:36:51 - TLOU will be four seasons long2:40:00 - KCD2 and Dynasty Warriors sales2:41:20 - What Are We Playing?3:25:05 - Stick deadzone3:30:15 - Marvel Rivals layoffs3:37:20 - Like a Dragon's continued success3:45:01 - Strong competition in the console market3:52:14 - Dice Awards drama4:01:44 - Amazon's failure to disrupt Steam Learn more about your ad choices.
