Pray They Don't Alter It Any Further | Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast Episode 217
For the first time in the history of the gaming industry, a major piece of hardware is getting a price increase across virtually the entire world. PlayStation 5, launched in 2020 at $500 or your local equivalent, will still cost that much (with a disc drive) here in the States. But virtually everywhere else in the world — from the UK and Europe to Australia, Japan, and beyond — PS5’s price is about to go up modestly, but noticeably. Sony no doubt isn’t taking this PR catastrophe lightly — you have to imagine there’s a need here — and, indeed, this highly-controversial will help them make an additional half-a-billion bucks this year alone. But with market conditions as they are, inflation running rampant, and production as trying as ever, the only question is whether any of their competitors follow-suit, and whether Sony itself is done upping the ante. Other news includes the reveal of PlayStation’s long-awaited Elite-style controller called DualSense Edge, confirmation that PSVR2 will launch in early 2023, release dates for Dead Island 2, Sonic Frontiers, and more. and so on. Then, we wrap things up (as we always do) with listener inquiries. What’s with some outlets slamming Saints Row, then accepting money to promote it anyway? Is it becoming increasingly difficult to avoid the industry’s inherent negativity? Will Sony ever begin caring about their PlayStation Mobile initiative? Should one listener’s public bathroom encounter have left him as scared as it has?

I played a demo of Jack Move, didn't get to go any further when they released more demos / updated demos, but it has promise. I hope more attention comes to it.
Freeloaders unite!
Sony’s greed is astounding.
Does Chris understand that there's more mediums other than games that people watch? So these games that are turning into movies, maybe will bring in more people. Cuz trust me, my sister is never going to ever ever play a game, she might want to watch a movie though. He needs to stop this whole gatekeeping of this can't be a movie cuz it's already a game BS.
Not sure i agree with the idea of giving their IPs breaks. Nintendo has been living off of mario, mario kart, zelda, pokemon etc… for decades. (Not that they haven't tried new IP)
I imagine PS would like to be in that same space with their IPs. They might be able to turn Tlou, uncharted, R&C, etc… into franchises they can milk for decades.
Ps 5 price hike?.. laaaaaame.
I agree with Colin, I don’t like any company so deeply associated with the CCPD having so much ownership in the gaming industry.
Speaking as someone who purchased Destiny 2 and it's early expansions and not touched it since? Reinstalling it and firing it up for the first time last weekend is a total clusterfuck. It is the most unuser-friendly experience imaginable. Not including the frustration of discovering all progress, legendaries, currencies, and unlocks are gone. Can't recommend it.
2:43:00 🤣👌
2:31:00 A+ AC joke from Chris 😂😂
"No more zombies!!"
*Spends $70 on the 2nd remake of a zombie game.
*Dedicates time on show to discuss zombie HBO show's individual episodes.
I’ve just seen Sony & tencent have joined together to buy 30% of fromsoftware lol
Everyone who are making excuse for sony, are forgetting how PS5 console design is irrational and because of that is that expensive to produce and there is no room to improve price of produce it.
We've already essentially had a Gravity Rush anime with Edens Zero 👌
GTA is gonna suck without Dan Houser.
You really talked about the PS5 price increase for only 10 minutes? I don't know what you guys smoke or take but at that point, I don't even care anymore, when I want a good laugh, I just come listen to some opinions from Playstation fanboys.
I’ve never looked at you guys as being on the negative side. This podcast is a favourite of mine and it’s refreshing that you don’t constantly praise every single trailer that comes out. I’ve tried to watch multiple other podcasts and a lot of them are just identical. No difference of opinion, no criticism towards any game they are playing, just everything is blind praise and it gives no legitimacy to them or their opinions.
I don’t buy into this 24/7 positivity stuff you often see with a lot of these influencers, it’s not realistic.
3:43:50 thank you Dustin! Same shit happened with 2042 last year, EA were trying to play coy and act like nothing was wrong with the game. Along with several "Battlefield veterans" who were basically trying their hardest to make 2042 the next thing and diluted their criticism.
This is not negativity but reality.
Totally!!! Games are too Big!!! I just want 8-20 hours… i felt Detroit become human was perfect
Regarding the size of Destiny 2, I dont know how but FF14 on PS5 up to date with all expansions and loads of patch content is around 50GB.
No it's not as good looking as Destiny, but to me that's the bar set for live service games.
Wonder what the response would have been if MS increased the price instead of Sony 🤔
Hey guyz I have a rebuttal to if Sony is still the thought leaders in the Industry and I think they are and I agree with Dustin in that they have to show I.P. I think they truly want to be the high end boutique company when it comes to games but on all levels whether it's home console,Pc,Mobile,Vr. If you go back to the beginning Jim Ryan said we are going to let the games do the talking. This is why Herman with all the purchases is always talking about technical expertise if you check that's always mentioned. So with the expansion of all there studios and getting people that on a technical level are the best. I think they are going to leverage that aspect. There already have the best studios but when the games start rolling it's not even going to be a question it is going to be definitive. That's how they will withstand the onslaught of these behemoth companies (not saying they aren't 1 themselves) Calm before the storm guyz.
My man Chris lookin like every folk singer who ever did a showcase at a random bar with a scene and some stools laying around.
2:57:46 probably the most blasphemous thing I've ever heard Chris say, Escape From the City is one of the best video game songs ever
Really respect you stance on advertising. Sponsored streams or vods nearly always feel like dishonest advertising to me, even from none critics. I feel the same way about unboxings and when people display all the stuff they get for free, in this case they are just advertising for the companies without proper payment
Did not appreciate Dustin's tone to last week's inquiry. I understand he was trying to defend his friend but comon he's the most boring guest that has appeared on ss+ and Colin knows what's up because he hasn't been invited again to the shows.
Why do Chris look like Edward Snowden
In Lies of P, the lying mechanic makes his P grow longer. Think long and hard about it.
Cheesecake is goat tier dessert
It's not the price increase as much as it's the principle. Besides that, this is hardly Sony's first blunder this gen.
Sony has become practically known for bad PR this whole generation. They aren't the same company. Period. In fact if I recall, albeit vaguely, didn't Shawn Laden leave due to that very fact? That he saw where the company was headed and really, wanted no part? Guess time will tell.
18:41 – why does she have to not speak English HUH HUH?
Guys, I'll just go out and say it. If you don't know Comix Zone, do yourself a favour and have a look at it. The game is sooo good (for it's time). Wish they would just remake the game rather than make a movie.
Yeah I feel Italian food is mid af in California, I would much rather make it or go to my mom's house.
As for fish in California, a lot of it comes from Oregon, so it's not as fresh or good more south you go in Cali.
But Mexican, Thai, Viet food and brewery's are pretty damn good here in Cali imo
