  • As you well-know, Sacred Symbols doesn't work with any publishers, developers, or manufacturers. As such, we're excited to talk about PSVR2 for the very first time now that we've gotten our own purchased units in the mail. We go into some of our varying experiences so far, particularly with Horizon: Call of the Mountain, and Colin in particular wonders if his unit is broken or just permanently blurry ('sweet spot' be damned). We also get into all of the week's news, of course, starting with IO Interactive's big reveal of a new fantasy RPG in the works, Elden Ring's mysterious upcoming DLC, the closure of Square Enix's Luminous Productions, and more. As usual, listener inquiries round things out for us on topics like 3D platformers, endemic industry negativity, the potentially offensive nature of the term 'JRPG', and one funny anecdote from our live show in Houston about a few mystified men who thought they were there to see Moulin Rouge.

    Dustin they took until 14 minutes in a 15 minute demo to tell us there will be a battle pass they know the type of game they have made and trying mitigate as much damage as possible. The fact you must play with bots at all times show it’s not a single player game at all . And the most frustrating is they all shoot king shark is a Melli fighter and captain boomerang doesn’t use his boomerang’s unless it’s a finisher. I hope you love it but my heart sank the further we went into the demo.

    Can we get lockmort to do a Colin’s best rants edit? Many times Colin rants, to say rant is too strong of a word because he isn’t literally screaming or frothing at the mouth is a bit disingenuous. A rant is a passionate speech, a little louder than normal, and rolling from one point into the next without letting others speak until you’re done. 100% happens almost every show, like toward the end “I DARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT CHRONO TRIGGER ISNT A JRPG, I DARE YOU”

    PSVR2 is definitely a softer image than I thought it would be. I’m new to VR and assumed it would be crisp like the tv. It’s not crisp hd, it’s softer but it’s definitely not blurry. The res just isn’t as impressive as I expected being so used to PS5 and its super sharp image. That said, I quickly got used to it as the overall experience is amazing. GT7… RE8? Freakin amazing. Horizon was awesome as a first experience and Kayak as well.

    Rez Infinite Area X is incredible in VR2! It feels like you got pulled into the matrix. A must play in VR. The OLED with the deep blacks makes it that much better. Another must play is Thumper. The game is a bit easier in VR due to better depth perception but what a trip! Switchback also looks very promising.. comes out in a couple of weeks and this could potentially be the system seller we are all hoping for. The only way we can get great games on this is if it sells so it's critical that we get a killer app soon that can move units off the shelf and I dont know about you but to me Switchback looks like the game to do this. This coupled with the fact that PS5s are now easy to get shines a light of hope for the future of Sony's VR. Let's hope this won't end up like the Dreamcast or Vita where impressive tech with so much potential gets buried by horrible business decisions

    From my experience, a lot of younger women hate video games because they are seen as competition and as a waste of time (they just buy into the negative stereotypes associated with them and don't care to learn more). The Lana Del Rey song "Video Games" pretty much perfectly encapsulates that idea. I dated a few girls like that before. I'd assume it has changed somewhat with the younger generations though and the sentiment is less common now.

    JRPG talk was interesting. One thing I will say as someone who spent way too much time on forums in the 90s while you did occasionally see the term JRPG most people literally just said RPG. Final Fantasy was just a RPG when we talked about it, rarely the J was used. JRPG did not have widespread use until that point Yoshi-p is talking about and it was used as a negative. Also it wasn't really because of games like Hyperdimension Neptunia (which isn't even 15 years old fwiw), it was literally just people who thought WRPGs were better and wanted to create a barrier between something like Fallout 3 and Final Fantasy. Remember, mid 2000s is when companies like BioWare and Bethesda were starting to find a mainstream audience. Essentially the mid 2000s is to WRPGs what the mid 90s was for JRPGs.
    Also in terms of Rogue-stuff, funny Colin should bring up Rogue Legacy because it is THE game that started to popularize the term Rogue-lite (go look up the steam page for the original game, they capitalize and quotation lite for emphasis.) And it's not because it's an action platformer or anything, it's entirely because there is persistence between death. That is the origin of the "lite." In a traditional roguelike you lose everything upon death and when starting another character it's functionally a new save file. Rogue Legacy wanted to have that flow but they realized most people hate losing everything when they die. Hence you have a "lighter" version of the Rogue experience or: Rogue-lite.
    From their Steam page again: "Rogue-lite. Your character dies, but with each passing your lineage grows and becomes stronger."
    A decade ago when it was a cult genre that is how people would use it. But of course as things grow and bring in new players that kind of nuance gets lost to time.

    Colin's sister not letting her kids play games on week nights is quite understandable, if a bit drastic (I mean, not even an hour?). Playing video games, unlike watching TV, listening to music, reading, etc., is so much more engaging. It's a very active form of entertainment, and most games are designed to be rewarding, causing short bursts of dopamine rush. It's why it's so easy to loose track of time when playing.

    Colin about The Sweet Spot in VR. I think you and a lot of people are getting The Sweet Spot and the general resolution confused. The Sweet Spot is simply having your eyes in the center of the lenses which you can tell if you are doing with that visibility setting where you put your pupils in the center of the holes. What you are describing about seeing your hands and it not looking perfectly clear is just the resolution of the image. Vr gaming still has a long way to go and it is not Crystal Clear yet despite Sony saying the lenses are 4K and this and that. I know what you are talking about when you look at your hands and it kind of looks like a depth of field blurriness on them. That is also the case if you ever play Half Life Alex on a monster rig. One day VR Gaming will get so advanced the image will be crystal clear and and there won't be a sweet spot to worry about. Sorry about the grammar and possible spelling errors.

      Even the Vive Pro 2 with the 5K per eye still cant match pancake graphics on a monitor. But it's still impressive how far we come from Atari to this. For a headset under $1G it's not bad at all. In addition to the PSVR2 sweetspot another trick you can try to greatly reduce the filmgrain (Mura) effect is to lower the brightness down to 40% and given that it's OLED it's still pretty bright but it significantly reduces the screendoor/filmgrain effect. Once you found the sweetspot and lowered the brightness down to 40% it's pretty impressive for a headset under $1G. Moss and Rez Infinite looks very crisp on it

    Getting down to the comments about people contributing to the overall "Toxicity" in the industry, what colin said about (And I'm paraphrasing) "Stop taking things so personally" is the biggest issue I have with many fandoms for other creators, you can't even have a normal discussion about a game because disliking or liking something turns into a political discussion or personal insult.
    And the issue tends to come up the most from the same crowd preaching "Love" "Respect" or "Like what you want to like" but they rarely internalize these aspects. Not saying the creators themselves have this issue, but the fandoms or just randos online definitely do.
    It gets tiring, people seemingly just want to hear their opinions from the people they watch and get furious over any amount of deviation. It makes you wonder why they would even care about other people's opinion on things when they've already formed their own passionate opinion.

    Someone has to jump up and defend TellTale here. I remember those games back in the day and why you guys might not have like them. We loved The Walking Dead season one. It’s sold well. Tales from the borderlands critically acclaimed that man that’s another one that’s critically acclaimed. The wolf among us many of us agree that is a game that was great, but sadly overlooked. While these games may not have worked for you guys, there’s a reason why telltale stayed in business. There’s a reason why they took on more and more projects and ultimately went into debt. They signed contracts like crazy because people wanted them to make games for them. How do you think they got the Batman license? They don’t just give that away. Like I said, well, these games may not have been for you guys, but set a foundation for a new type of game or you could argue for a revival of this type of walking simulator. Progressive story game. Life is strange took everything from them, and added to it. If you were to take those games of the past and put them in a modern engine and do them right people would buy them remember back in the day we bought them. I hate to say it but many people didn’t agree with the reviews you guys are giving right now because the numbers don’t lie some of those games sold really well. I cried at the end of The Walking Dead season one.

    My theory about Suicide Squad, is they originally had the intention of making a game like Guardians of the Galaxy, but because of the size and scope of the IP they needed to recoup more money and that's where a lot of the changes were made, leading up to it's release.

    The Walking Dead Season 1 was one of the most impactful storytelling I've seen. The end was so sad and stuck with me these many years later after beating it. TellTale games are about the story not gameplay, that being said many of their games have poor stories.

    The worst part of Suicide Squad is the always online for even single player. That means it has a ticking time bomb. It will die at some point when they turn off the servers. It happened to Crossfire X and it will happen to Suicide Squad. Same shit like GT7 and Redfall.

    I would imagine that Colin (and others) big problem with PSVR2's blurriness is that they're not quite setting it up properly. It might be harder to set up than people expect, but I can assure you that it's not supposed to just be "blurry."

      @sam805236 Рік тому

      You talking about the DLC for Elden Ring? If so, they're not "giving" anything, they're selling it. I share Colin's view of DLC, the only DLC I bought is a map pack for the OG COD: Modern Warfare, after that nothing ever again. I just don't understand it, once I've beat the game I feel like I've conquered the world and anything added after that just diminishes the world for me.
      Presumably they're going to create many more bosses that are probably more difficult than the final bosses of the main game. How does that make sense? They've created a world where there's a story and bosses and hierarchy of difficulty, now they're going to introduce more to this world that are harder than that of the base game? It just diminishes the main game imo. Like Colin said, just put that time and energy in a new game.

    When you talked about the game being released on a PlayStation with Xbox button props, I don’t think that speaks to a special pipeline I think that speaks to a lack of testing on behalf of Sony. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a game released on a PlayStation platform that was broken I’m Sony let it be released someone at Stoneys and was supposed to test that game to make sure it at least function and they didn’t. Do you remember cyberpunk 2077 who tested that game at Sony. We know the game shouldn’t have been released because they literally took it off their own store but I asked the question how did it get there in the first place. Again these two games are not the only times this is happened we don’t have it happen often, but it does happen so you have to ask yourself the Sony honestly test games before they go on the store?

    JRPG was a term that was used in the 90s but most japanese devs didnt hear that term until the advent of the internet and forums which was around 2006 when more people started getting common access to the internet.
