The First Party Party | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 120

At 15 studios strong, Sony's first party family of exclusive teams is looking mighty strong. This is especially true at a time when their arch-rival -- Microsoft and its Xbox brand -- are rapidly and aggressively expanding their development reach. Now that things have died-down a bit post-PlayStation Showcase, however, I (Colin!) thought I'd sit down and go through each Sony team, from Asobi through Sucker Punch, talk about what they're working on (or what they may be working on!), whether I was surprised to see them during the Showcase (or not, as is mostly the case!), and more. If you're a nerd for PlayStation exclusives, well... this episode is right up your alley, my friends

I look at first party teams like playing for the Yankees. You play at an all-star level, or you get cut. Bend kind of put out an average to above average game, which doesn't cut it for a first party studio.

If PlayStation got rid of Media Molecule, Xbox would surely pick them up and stick it on Gamepass, feel like it would do a lot better over on the xbox/PC systems. Playstation need to get Nixxes to port it to PC

I thought the Showcase was great! People you have to remember, we didn't see either HZD or FFXVI

This has no relation to the episode but I just turned on my PS5 and there’s an update for LittleBigPlanet 3, WTF

LastStandMedia

Well, it kinda does in that the doom-and-gloom I had for LBP came to fruition. That update is because they shut all of the other versions of the game down outside of LBP3!

Hey Colin Just to say your content is very special, keep doing what you are doing!

Awesome, just the topic I wanted. I haven’t been 100% plugged into feedback at all on here but I’ll try to get more engaged.

Great episode as always. I would love a true triple-A $70 Astro bot platformer. I feel like that IP can be used in a myriad of ways. Party games, kart racer...who knows. I know PlayStation's upper management is less interested in trying new things with higher risk factors but I truly believe Astro bot has the capabilities to become a PlayStation mascot if they put the time and effort in at Team Asobi.

Colin, I really appreciated this episode. I’ve been in the industry for a while now and the analysis of other studios is so fascinating!

Great video, so glad someone else remembers Cory not directing Ragnarok was information we already had.
