A new Sony handheld is rumored to be in the works, but don't get all hot-and-bothered. It's not another PSP or Vita, but rather a device codenamed Q-Lite, essentially a DualSense controller with an 8-inch screen affixed to it that facilitates (presumably high quality) local remote play. But with PSVR2 seemingly floundering, is it a good idea to release another distraction from the main goal? That being the production and release of the highest-quality AAA games imaginable. We discuss Sony's presumed strategy. We also delve into awesome Final Fantasy-related news, including word that XVI has gone gold on PS5, with the Pixel Remasters right around the corner for PS4, while the Saudi Arabian government is preparing tens of billions of dollars in new gaming investments that will undoubtedly encroach into our space. Also: Listener inquiries! Will Spider-Man 2 be co-op? Why aren't Monster Hunter fans showing Wild Hearts any respect? If Sony purchased Square Enix, would it be left alone (a la Bungie)? Was Queen Elizabeth II a closet Sacred Symbols listener?

The Saudi news is unfortunate but I just made peace by rolling with your take. It’s hard to live a moral economic life in this world. While I may be against things, I can’t guarantee that I’m going to boycott everything consistently, so I will ignore it and play games I want to play.

Hell fucking yess

For some reason the chapter end screens in RE4 were like a viscerally warm blanket, yeah it is super gamey and I love that. Feels so refreshing in a modern AAA game.

Brannon H

Why doesn't Sony put PSVR2 on PC? More expensive VR units appeal more to the PC crowd that is much more willing to spend than console gamers.

Colin: Nintendo just puts out the same games again and again. Also Colin: Final Fantasy 42! Fuck yeah! (just joking around)

James Hill

If Square Enix was open to being bought (I don't think SE wants to be),I think Nintendo would equally be in the mix as Sony. There is no way the big N would be willing to risk losing SE games

Dylan Michael

Square Enix treats their classics better than any company I’ve seen. Being able to shut off random encounters just makes it so much more pleasant. I know some people will complain about “pure” playthroughs, but I think as long as you’re not breaking the game by getting to level 99 in the first 5 hours you’re good.

Remote Play devices don’t have to be connected at home. You can remote play anywhere there’s a Wi-Fi connection. I remote play on my iPad at work all the time with a dualsense. I’d imagine this Q lite device would be the same. It kinda just sounded like Dustin was implying you’d have to play this at home.

Jason Bolla

I'll finally get to start listening on Spotify instead of this, that's the best news from the ep!

I’ve gotta back up my boy Dustin about PSVR2. My first play through of RE Village was in VR and it was a top 10 gaming moment for me. Been playing games for 35 years. It’s kind of disorienting and a little finicky, but you’re legit IN the game - I could draw a map of the grounds from memory. I tried to play the DLC normally afterwards and gave up because it felt like a pale imitation. PSVR2 has no juice and will languish because reasons, but I’m a believer.

FourEyes Malone

There are other Monster Hunter clones like God Eater and Dauntless. Wild Hearts is okay but they missed the mark with it having less depth along with it having major technical issues and the graphics aren’t good.

Kenneth Oms

Great episode boys. The EA FC logo is a pyramid because of football tactics. The most common player position on the pitch is 4-4-2 which creates the pyramid shape. There’s a famous book called inverting the pyramid about soccer tactics and how it’s evolved from the games inception till now.

Devlin England

Colin’s issue with Dustin’s psvr recommendation not being a game made for psvr(resident evil) is the exact problem I have with the ps5. They’re all ps4 games.

Gareth Handa

Colin, glad you mentioned having to drop GOW Ragnarok down to story a couple of times. I did the same, I got through most the game on normal but at the end got so annoyed I just didn't care too much anymore.

Michael Mashpotato

Shout out to Chris. Good luck next weekend. 😎✌️

Jeff Caseres

Glad to see our PSVR2 lord and savior Dusting standing up for us PSVR2 nerds! It’s becoming a super underrated piece of tech for no good reason. Other than “where are the games?” Meanwhile the PS5 is also in the same camp since most games don’t feel next gen at all. Not seeing the same energy there.

Retlaw

As someone who games on a tv that my wife and kids also use, I’m not against the dedicated Sony stream handheld. But price is important, but it also has to work good enough that it doesn’t get in the way. I’m not so sure….

larry Seitz

With how bad crime across the entire usa maybe public beheading or hands being chopped off might work because whatever has been goings on the last 3 years isnt working...

That’s insane, we just need to not release repeat violent criminals multiple times.

B00ch

RE 4 original and remake we are talking Michael Jordan, GOAT status, Dead Space is like Kevin Durant, great, but on a lesser tier. RE 4 I think is definitely a 10, one of the best games of all time.

Taylor kazemba

It’s not selling out if you agree with their government

Taylor kazemba

Fightin cowboy’s 100% walkthroughs for souls games are amazing. It’s how I platinumed bloodborne.

joefray_

Random question but why is Dustin playing MGS on a PS2? Is that better than popping the disc into a PS3?

Deemac

Gotta disagree with Chris about people just going with the game called "FIFA" rather than the EA Sports game, as the majority of casual gamers who have that as their main game, extensively play the Ultimate Team mode - which is staying with the EA brand. I'm sure there will be a handful of unaware people who aren't sure and go for the FIFA game at the very start, but I'm sure EA will be doing a huge marketing campaign to get the point across that this is the new game. They'll be advertising during and alongside Premier League, La Liga, Bundeliga etc. games, and this is where the casual fans will be watching. More hardcore fans already know the deal

Johnny Shoulder

Agreed. Plus I'm pretty sure the next fifa game will not be out this year, so EA will already have a head start

Jordan Falduto

I'm just so happy to hear Colin is enjoying the best turn-based RPG in decades with Octopath 2. Next stop Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars!

Carlos Moreno

I'm not into JRPG's much but i picked up Chained Echos on a whim recently and haven't been able to put it down! I wanted to see what people with extensive JRPG experience compare it to other JRPG's.

Romeo

I never thought I would see the day when Colin reviewed Walter Mercado’s drip.

Michael Mashpotato

That video of TLOU part 1 PC glitch where they get progressively wet reminds me of that scene from scary movie 3 where the sheriffs hat keeps getting bigger. 🤣

Piyush Pant

If the q lite is real I hope it has an option to display out ps5's video directly via a usb-c cable also

Maxx Lazos

The game that Colin would like most on PSVR2 is The Light Brigade. Roguelite shooter. Such a great loop. Feels great. Challenging but not crazy

NeO JD

Using walkthroughs is part of what I hate about jumping into classics.

Anonymous

Just a heads up - the Shrek mod discussion has spoilers for The Last of Us that didn't end up getting censored. You mentioned Joel was holding a character as they died and named them. Kinda late for me but might want to consider bleeping that out.

Marc Cairney

Do you ever wonder just how many of us are pooping and listening?

thor magnusson

'Imagine buying the PS4, and only playing Knack, then judging the entire console based off that'. Well said Dustin, thanks for encouraging the others to give this awesome headset an actual proper chance. I was getting a little frustrated as it felt like it was quickly dismissed and I am loving it personally. Look forward to the conversation next week...enjoy Colin (and GT7 is worth a look too, it really is, even Dustin said he was worried it would put you off).

Sam Lee

I hope Square Enix is considering remakes of FF 1-6 with HD-2D graphics and all the additional content(FF 4 The After Year etc...). This would be the perfect opportunity for them to create the definitive versions of these games that will be playable forever. Similar to what Capcom is doing with the Resident Evil franchise. Final Fantasy is as historic as Resident Evil and deserves that treatment.

drivebyjoe

Love Wild hearts. 200+hrs already..I like it way more then monster hunter rise and world

Fenixrisingxl21

Square Enix’s practices are so odd to me, and I need someone to draw me a map. Lol. If it’s “obvious” that Square’s games don’t sell on Xbox, and “there’s a price to port to Xbox,” then I need someone to explain why Star Ocean Divine Force, Diofield Chronicle, and Final Fantasy Crisis Core Reunion all released on Xbox, but titles like Live A Live and Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster(s) aren’t. I would assume Square’s best chance of selling their games on Xbox would reside with the Final Fantasy series, which would explain Crisis Core Reunion appearing, but still leave me scratching my head on the Pixel Remasters missing the platform. Can’t believe there’s a bigger market for Star Ocean and Diofield Chronicles on Xbox, than there is for Final Fantasy. In the words of Commodus, “It vexes me so. I’m terribly vexxed.” Lol.

Austin Evans

I’m at the point now that I have been burned to many times by Sony to invest in playstation besides the main consoles. I bought both the Vita and PS VR day one I really loved the hardware in both and loved some games on them. But with both it seemed that Sony gave up on them quickly, and if Sony gave up on them I don’t understand why they would expect third party developers not to give up on them as well. So as much as I would love to get a PSVR 2 I really don’t want to be burned again when they give up on it in a year.

@Jacob - Good context, thanks! I haven't yet played TLOU but it makes more sense to not bleep it out if that's the case.

Chris

ps vr 2 has a chance depending on future support. They started out gimped because the improvements make backward compatibility impossible, the launch lineup was horizon and some ports to re-buy, and they’ve given 0 indication of what’s coming. I bought it because I’m a dumb adult baby, but it’s silly to expect most people to pay $600 for a console without telling them why.

Did Chris just called himself a professional boxer ?
