Chasing Amy | Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast Episode 175

We have some awesome news for long-time PlayStation fans: The Mother of Uncharted, Amy Hennig, is finally returning with something new. Seriously. And it's just in the nick of time, since it's been a staggering 10 years since Uncharted 3 launched on PS3, which was her last brainchild. Heck, it's been nearly eight years since she left Naughty Dog! So it's great to know what she's working on next, but there's a catch, of course: She's making a Marvel game. And thus, both the excitement and complaining begin in earnest, and naturally, we must take part. Other news also crossed our desk this week, including the $50 million loss Take Two is taking on a cancelled game codenamed Volt, the going-public nature of publisher Devolver Digital (which Sony now owns 5% of), the potential rise of a true AAA console game out of China, Call of Duty 2022 rumors, and so much more. We also get into listener questions, as is our wont. Will Sony ever create a dedicated PC launcher? Did Guardians of the Galaxy benefit greatly from not being overexposed? Is there a stigma attached with Game Pass games? Did Chris accidentally leave his "jerk tissues" in-frame? Get some Sacred Symbols merch! https://LastStandMedia.shop Follow the hosts on Twitter!

I think I speak on behalf of everybody if I say we need a "Have no fear, Shrink the deer" shirt now.

Just started listening. My wife needed me to tell you her favorite color is purple 😂

If you are into jrpgs you are a weeb and a degenerate.

This guy wants to swing with his friend so badly but knows that he will open Pandora’s box that will likely ruin the relationships between all parties once it’s all said and done.

Tried to get the PS5 from Walmart. Figured I would secure it and celebrate with some SS. 3 devices F5 constantly anddddd gone. Wild this is happening for almost a year now.

Here's my what I perceive will be hot take. The people that complain about Marvel are more annoying than Marvel fans. Kinda like the people that complain about COD or used to complain about Assassin's Creed being released every year. To steal something that's been said before: Vote with your wallet. People like me don't mind more Marvel, we didn't mind when Assassin's Creed was being released every year. I play so many games that a new one doesn't make me feel 'burnt out." I know exactly what I'm getting when it comes to COD or AC or a Marvel game and that excites me. I don't force myself to play something that I don't feel like playing. Maybe others do? I don't get the complaints. No one is forcing anyone to buy any of these games and the market is flooded with new ips and new games all the time. Diversity is out there if you look. Going to end my post here for now. (everything above this was posted after I listened to the Marvel/Amy discussion) To add on after listening to the COD discussion. When it comes to Chris' points, the internet is a jaded and negative place and people parrot what others are saying and like to join in on people shitting on something. Does it mean that they're wrong? Not necessarily but to dismiss sales and say it's just because its annualized is wrong. If people are having fun and are enjoying what they're playing that's what matters.

Colin: Am I a weeb or am I not a weeb? I don't know Colin, oh is that a Monokuma bear behind you?

Brian Salazar

Avatar The Last Airbender is the only good anime.

Jordan campos

From minute 40 to about minute 42 If I didn't see Chris's fan moving I would assume the video paused. He remained so still that it's actually impressive.

Richard Duflo

Man. a song at the end takes me back to the Beyond days in a way that I did not expect. Cool throwback and funny song.

Tristen Wilbers

Liu Cixin is the author of perhaps my favorite trilogy of hard science fiction novels, and he's very very well regarded worldwide for those books (The Three Body Problem is the first of the 3). Some of the concepts he introduces are actually applicable in real world space exploration, a la the Fermi paradox, relativity theory, etc. I genuinely was surprised at his attitude towards the CCP, when his commentary in the books is starkly critical of The Great Leap Forward, censorship, and similar Communist programs. (Those sections are apparently moved to the middle in the Chinese version to appeal to the censors) Regardless, I actually think you'd really enjoy them.

FourEyes Malone

ending song caught me off guard LOL you guys really are must listen/watch every week. I really appreciate the work yall do.

Zack Fair

Dustin, im surprised you are struggling! Are you equipping charms to negate bosses wind/earth etc elements

Cannonball_Jones

I would love for you guys to consider matching what Easy Allies does and provide Patrons with a video free of ads. I understand you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do but just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks for the great episode.

Michael Miller

Shoot. Even 2004 saw a Call of Duty game if you include United Offensive. The standalone expansion they released for the original COD. It had its own campaign and everything.

Kaleb

Kena is pronounced Kay-nuh they say it a million times in the game. Though I don't blame you because everyone has said it every which way. At least you're not like Hoeg who pronounced it Kenya on Virtual Legality.

RFK Rodgers 2024

Lol that song was actually pretty good/funny, dare i say it was….kinda funny

Anonymous

just wanted to stop in and say that you guys are a bright spot in my week! and I thank you. I'll make another comment in a year or two. peace

Zack Fair

I honestly can't remember when I last bought a Call if Duty game, its so long ago now, its become like a Fifa where its just a different skin slapped on

Domenico Smarto

To say call of duty is a hit would be an understatement it’s not just the biggest juggernaut in gaming. It’s one of the biggest juggernauts in all of entertainment in one fiscal year it made 3 billion dollars. Why on earth would they stop releasing it every year when racking in that much money. The reason AC stopped annualizing is because sales went down. In terms of Marvel IMO a very average show like winter solider and Falcon was Disney + biggest hit. That’s why your going to see tons of marvel games even though I’ve also been personally over Marvel for awhile.

Zack Fair

Discs are cheaper, I can get PS5 games for £45-£50 for AAA games, couldn't do that if I bought them off the ps store, also I just love having a physical collection. To Christopher, as someone who has had depression before, I hope you get the much needed help dude!

LastStandMedia

We can't render the videos twice, sorry. We don't promise ad-free videos; only early access. <3

LastStandMedia

Discs are definitely not cheaper if you wait. Games plummet massively on PSN. Like, comically.

Cod has had player choices before I believe black ops 2 had like 8 endings with various choices throughout the campaign. Colin you mention how cod isn't very controversial anymore but the MW 2019 campaign definitely pushed for a more controversial approach as there were missions based on recent events such as Benghazi, terrorist attacks, Syrian conflicts and much more. I highly recommend I think you would enjoy it and its only about 8 hours long.

Colin: "I wanna end on a song that I thinks kinda cute" 🎶 Hey, Cunt, you're not even pretty 🎶 😂😂

NickBLeaveIt

Wish Laura Bailey had the ending song last year (Well maybe not the last line...)

Ok what’s the jewelry website again?

Chris was on fire this entire episode. Love it, cheers boys!

RD_21

JRPG doesn't really mean it's coming from Japan anymore. It's more of a recipe. Just like a white American can make Tacos and Burritos and it's still considered mexican food.

Simon Winstanley

Loved the song at the end! Does your friend release her music or put it on spotify? (I couldn’t seem to find it by searching her name but that could be my weed addled mind 😅)

Joey Burgos

COD Ghosts was far from the worst COD

Ben

Apparently the Amy Hennig game is likely either Ant Man or Fantastic 4. And Kevin Smith is kinda the reason we know that. So it’s serendipitous that this episode is titled Chasing Amy.

Swing Away Merril - Signs reference. Again, none of your kids got it....
