I have only listened/watched Sacred Symbols since inception on UA-cam. I am one of the 10k that watched a static thumbnail move across the screen . Never been on Spotify and have no idea what people mean when they reference RSS feeds.
I kept having playback issues using the RSS feed with my podcasts apps and I had to start watching the UA-cam videos because they would load and playback perfectly. Now I can't go back...how could you go back after seeing that perfectly round headed boy?
13:02 I really like the idea of a show where Colin and Dustin have Chris muted for the whole show and he just comments on their discussion the entire time. 🤣
Colin, it might interest you to know that Marvel's Hydra is actually the basis for Cobra from G.I. Joe. Larry Hama, who wrote Marvel's G.I. Joe comic, reused a lot of ideas he had for an unmade S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Hydra series when developing G.I. Joe.
@@BLonsdale912 "Why do you need Hydra, you already have the Nazis." Probably because the Nazis were defeated in 1945, and they wanted an organization that they could bring into modern times. Probably also because comic books like to have fake villains instead of using real world villains, because it gives them the freedom to do different things with the villains and not have people get offended one way or another. As far as I remember, from watching Agents of Shield, Hydra in its modern form isn't racist, at least in the sense that they don't care about ethnicity or skin color.
Agreed, I’ve found myself skipping the whole segment in the past because occasionally they’re talking about a game I want to go into fresh without knowing people’s thoughts ahead of time
Colin, you’ll probably never see this but I had same issue with the ring, then my psychiatrist suggested to get a rounded one on the inside , so instead of it gripping your finger it rest on it and you eventually won’t even realize your wearing it, the term is called “comfort-fit” wedding band , it will be truly life changing, a good jeweler will have no problem changing your existing one
PS VR2: The only platform that you can play Resident Evil 8, REmake 4, Gran Turismo 7. Crazy good platform. I love SS but they do not have the experience to really speak about it because none (other than Dustin) has played it.
26:45 I started to wear a silicone wedding room when I go to work because it’s too dangerous to wear my metal ring. But it became so convenient to just wear the silicone one that I only wear my metal (cobalt with white gold inlay) on special occasions or dressed in a more than casual outfit. And yes - I do have a small groove on my old DS3’s and a couple of my DS4’s. Once I made that change, those groves no longer grew. Also my metal ring gets less wear and tear and stays shiny.
PSVR2 is awesome. Quest 3 is great too The pannel should check out more of the games. There are loads of lesser known gems out there that get next to no exposure or coverage from bigger channels
Exactly. Sadly they don't hear about any 1st party game releases so they think there's nothing worth playing. It's probably how the general public see it too, which is truly unfortunate
It's safe to say that Colin is just not interested in VR and by suggesting him to play more VR, just by behavior, will not give it another chance. Personally, I dont know how anyone could say the stuff they say about PS VR2 without even playing through RE VIII, REmake 4, GT7, Red Matter 2, Legendary Tales..man I can keep going. Long live PS VR2
I know that back in 2007 the Army raised the max age to 42 so there's still a chance for Colin to fulfill his dreams of becoming an artillery brigade Commander or some shit. If you join enlisted with a college degree you start out as E-4 Specialist. If you go in as a commissioner officer you start as a 2nd LT
I don’t see a tangible benefit for PS5 pro. When the ps4 got a pro, it was because the ps4 struggled, along with Xbox one, so hard on many games. The pro and X helped to smooth that out as well resolution bump with the coming 4K tv’s. But the PS5 and Xbox series X, work so well in every game I own. Sure you have an outlier like Star Wars Jedi survivor, but that’s more the devs than the console.
I think GT7 could benefit from the Pro5 greatly. GT7 already runs 4k/60 out the box or up to 120 but they have to disable the superior RTX on track. The new RTX+PSSR stuff could be what GT7 needs to run RTX real time vs just replay mode.
It's not a lie. It can output an 8k video signal. They never said it could play all games at 8k. The touyrst runs at 8k on ps5. It's marketing speak. Like when you see absurd contrast ratio's for tvs. There is no standard testing so some companies have the tv off when they measure the low end contrast ratio (obviously this is 0 since the tv is off). When I saw 8k, I immediately figured they were talking about video pass through or games that looked like nes games. It's up to the consumer to do their research and understand what they're buying.
@@Keepitcivil_ most consumers aren't educated or willing to research what they buy. To frame this as a sony thing and them lying is just not factually accurate. I see companies use "Egyptian cotton" label on cheap sheets when they aren't using the long staple single ply Egyptian cotton which makes good sheets expensive.

It bothers me that nobody stepped in when Chris was saying how he doesn’t like the DualSense microphone being on by default, to tell him that it can be changed to be off by default from the PS5 settings.
Also Colin's comment that he would remove the mic if he could. It takes less than 5 minutes to open up your controller and take it out if that's really what he wants to do
Or listen to me guys, how about they don't include it in the controller at all. I think the sounds coming out of the dualsense are annoying, just like the dualshock 4. They are annoying. Just give me a normal controller. NORMAL. No annoying gimmicks. I complained about the sounds coming out of the wii-mote having it, even though I knew I could turn it off
I remember a long time ago they mentioned how the controller doesn't turn off on its own when they watch Netflix and how it wastes battery. I was banging my head against the wall with how they didn't know you can adjust the time it takes for a controller to turn off when idle. It has been a thing since the PS3 days
If GTA VI was PSVR2 compatible, that's the one game that I would bet would increase sales quite a bit. The idea of popular games having really good VR modes is awesome. GT7, RE4 and RE8 show that. But you need more than 3 games, you need a lot more of those and much bigger games.
I love how people say everything is Marvel and/or Star Wars, but there's maybe 5 games combined a year out of thousands of games. Nobody ever says this about platformers or shooters, etc.

My brother and I always have this FPS vs. Fidelity debate, and ultimately we realized that sensitivity to them differs person to person. There is just no way, these 2 groups of people will see each others dilemma. For me, not sure its due to my near perfect vision, every single artifact, unsmooth edges, visual softness sticks out too much and throws me off of the immersion that I am usually looking for and my eyes never get adjusted to them. FPS however, eventually settles in.
They seriously named it PSSR? when you guys were saying it fast it sounded like pisser. No way can they keep that name for the official release, right?
Must play VR2 games library to those NOT informed; GT7 COTM Paradise hotel (insane good) RE Village RE4 Beat sabre NMS Pavlov Legendary tales Saints and sinners Star wars Switchback Kayak Red matter 1 and 2 Tripp Vertigo 2 After the fall Puzzling places Synapse Moss 1 and 2 Room VR 7th guest Affected the manor C Smash Tin hearts Demeo Before your eyes VR skater All those great vr games in it's first year and we have metro and Madison VR, zombie army and wanderer soon during the 2nd year. It boggles my mind you guys haven't spent any time with VR and I suggest you don't bother talking about VR tbh as you seem pretty clueless about the medium if we're honest.
If a PS5 with a $70 game can sell for $399 in March of this year why couldn't a PS5 Pro without a game sell for a $170 markup in November and hit that $499 sweet spot? I'd bet that it does.
I only got my ps5 about 6 months ago but FF7 Rebirth in particular looks insanely good on performance mode, same with Spiderman 2. At times I can barely believe what I'm seeing. I see no reason to get a ps5 pro personally but each to their own.
Callisto Protocol was a PS Plus monthly game back in Oct( I believe) I could not beat it as my PS5 would constantly overheat from that game. No other game before that or since has done that to my PS5. I even opened up my system to clean the air vents and it still happened. Am I the only person that had this happen to them on this game? Just felt like it was not optimized for my PS5.
In good faith & with respect to Colin. I’m not an expert in community managers. However one google search does tell me there’s 1.4 million users who follow the last of us Reddit. Sounds to me like there could be some work there IMO 😂 I would imagine (and perhaps incorrectly) if you have a single player game/ franchise that sells millions of copies there’s probably plenty of work for a community manager to do. Note I’m not making an argument that what a CM does in this instance is the most important. In fact it’s probably one of the least important things for a single player game. But I bet there’s plenty of work to be done regardless. Seems reductive to assume they have nothing to do.
Tales of eternia and Tales of symphonia (I know she didnt work on that one, but have to be honest) - even if they havnt aged the best and I have no intrest in replaying them today, will still be some of my favorite jrpgs of all time and was an awesome experience as a kid.
Ps5 to ps5 pro is like upgrading from 6700 (non xt) to 6800 XT with better RT. The 6800 XT can play any game at 4k Medium, and most games on high/ultra. Add PSSR in the equation and the ps5 pro should be able to achieve 4k 60 fps (with pssr) in 99% of games with ease.
Remember when Bungie’s influence helped to get The Last of Us Multiplayer cancelled? I said it back then and I still feel that they did that to prevent any competition in their live service market. Did Bungie have any say on Helldivers 2? Not sure but we know that game launched.
I think it’s stupid how Colin continuous to say that the best solution for Sony is to sell Bungie at a loss. That’s insane lol. Sony might not know FPS but they do know business better than Bungie. They can for sure run Bungie from a business stand point and let the creatives come up with the games like they do with every other first party studio
per usual, the PS VR2 conversation was brutal to listen to. glad that Colin admits he doesn't use it. blown away by Chris' comment on it being a hassle to use (essentially admitting he has likely never used it). next time there's VR news Colin & Chris should refrain from talking. just state that you won't be commenting on a product you have little to no experience with.
@@X82BIGBLUE82X they had a nearly 30 min conversation on it and you mention poor sales? how do you quantify "poorly"? since there aren't official numbers on its profit margins or sales or sales goals then it'd be odd to say that. the conversation was sparked by a Bloomberg article regarding production. and Sony has debunked previous Bloomberg reports in the past. my comment and point is this. go back through the SS episodes and listen to both Colin & Chris' feedback on PS VR 1 & 2. and it's blatantly obvious from their comments that they aren't interested in using it as a median for video games (Chris didn't even know which one he owns). yet every time they do comment it's clear they don't use it. saying it is a hassle to use is a joke. you plug it into the PS5. you turn it on. you play. there is no hassle. and the constant bitching about it having a cord is ridiculous. much like the constant framerate whining. both complaints fall in the minority. it's tiresome to hear bad takes on a product they don't use.
OK that’s pretty much how I took it but the way Colin responded made me think there was more to it like it was some great insight lol. I hate when things fly over my head. Thanks for easing my mind!
For PSVR2, I was super stoked when it was announced. Wanted to buy one day 1. Then just like the Vita the bad mews came in... No backwards compatible with the PS VR games I collected for free with my plus subscription that I never got to play. Price way too high for my taste (I know it's mostly priced well, but for someone looking to jump into vr by curiosity, it is way too expensive)
I think the sacred boys are bit overly pessimistic on the PS5 Pro. There are way way way more games that are GPU limited rather than CPU limited. Framerate will go up across the board for the most part.
I enjoy listening to this podcast a lot of the time but man, listening to it as a comic book fan is infuriating sometimes. Y'all aren't comic book fans so of course you aren't going to be interested in Marvel 1943 but as someone who is a big fan of Captain America and Black Panther, I am very much looking forward to it. We've never gotten a Black Panther game and the last Captain America game was in 2011. They might all be in the same universe but that doesn't make all the characters identical. We used to get Marvel games like crazy, this is nothing new, they just went on hiatus for a while after the Activision deal expired in 2014.
@Tatman2TheResQ Because it's annoying to hear them say the same thing every time they have to talk about them. Like how Colin keeps wondering how people aren't sick of them yet, which I think is silly. There are plenty of anime inspired JRPGs that come out all the time but they don't say anything about those because they like those types of games, and that's fine. But if they really don't like superheroes this much, just say the game is releasing and move on, idk.
I'm with you there I understand them not liking the genre, but I don't get why they don't understand the appeal of it to others Is getting 1 Marvel game every 1-2 years as of right now really any different to new Final Fantasy games releasing in the same timespan?
Especially when the super hero games are 15-25 hours and FF is 60+ lol I am sick of super hero movies but games...games are different as you really get to live that power fantasy. Just hope they get a bit edgier as Spiderman 2 felt like a kids movie to me at times@@Billyb311
I don't care about Star Wars but stilled loved the Jedi games from Respawn because it had great gameplay. I actually do like Marvel stuff, even though they are over exposed. But I feel like 1943: Rise of Hydra could just play like Uncharted but with suoer strength. That sounds great to me
Psvr2 is not a hassle to set up. You plug it in and put it on your head... it literally takes away all the hassle from the prior one. I think the main barrier is just locking people off inside the headset. For me to play, I have to have free time without a toddler running around and be fully focused on just that experience. That is my main issue with vr, no multi tasking like I can with normal games. When I do get the chance to play psvr 2 and be fully immersed, it's fantastic and definitely something totally different and special when compared to flat gaming. But the barrier is the headset itself, not the set up being a hassle.
Agreed, it takes me 4 mins to take VR2 out the box, put the controllers on the sofa, get my breakfast stool to sit on, place the headset on my head and I'm ready to go.
@sprinter1boy I don't even have mine in the box. Mine is on a shelf above the ps5, so it's literally 20 seconds of lifting the headset and plugging the wire in, get controllers out of the dock fully charged and ready to go. Very accessible and easy compared to the first one. I just wish I had more time alone to use the thing but I feel that way about gaming in general now, guess I'm getting old 😅
@@funzbunz highly recommend paradise hotel, about 7 hours long and puzzling places with 3D jigsaws was a suprise great game (if you like jigsaws that is) I was kinda annoyed at Colin, Chris and Justin for how little knowledge they have really of VR in general, especially twds good VR2 games they know off.
Ps5 pro will increase the res to near 4k for those games running at 60fps, so performance mode with have much better resolution instead of being like 1200p
On the PS5 Pro discussion, its quite possible if you cant get a game from 30 to 60, the Pro might still have enough CPU grunt to enable a locked 40fps mode, which many have enjoyed as a happy medium.
Personally if the Pro is not enough to get us to 60 fps, I am not sure I will get it. Unless games become almost unplayable on the base PS5 like they were on base PS4 by the end...
Why are gamers such mindless consumers and bad financial managers? “Hell yea I’m going to waste 800 dollars on a machine to give me marginal improvements over the PS5!”
PS5 Pro hasn't even been announced yet. A lot will depend on the effectiveness of PSSR. If it works well, it could greatly improve frame rates in games, which would by no means be a marginal improvement.
@@Marcus_K I'm just saying you can't bitch and whine about a bad economy and inflation and yada yada when you're perfectly willing to shell out more than 600 bucks on a slightly better PS5 (can't imagine the improvement would be that massive because these GTA 6 reports wouldn't be out there)
I agree that PS should've ported regular games to VR, there's a huge library that could've received a port to make it work. However, the way I see it VR in general is on the way out. It's a gimmicky and people didn't buy it. There's not much there aside from a first person shooter here or a party game there.
I just played RE5, maybe the tribal zombies could be offensive to some, but anything can be offensive to someone. But like Chris said, it's a remake, remake the cringy bits, edit them out. Set it in South Africa where you can have a variety of races to be zombies if that's necessary. 🤷♂️ and btw RE6 is not bad, currently playing on XSX, looks amazing for that generation. VERY fast, quicktime events, and action heavy compared to past entries. Also a lot of cinematics for better or worse. ✌️
VR in general just doesn't meet the baseline cost/benefit for me yet. I'd assume that VR (or some version of it) is the future of games, but I just don't think the tech is there yet. I'd rather spend the money on a really nice GPU to play better games at their best (which is what I did personally).
Always awesome to see Bungie fans/players treating the company like a unicorn while it's on a huge downhill. "Oh no, don't touch that, Bungie is really good at it". The holy leadership that apparently can't leave or the company will practically die is basically the reason the company has been operating so poorly recently. It won't be the end of the world if some of these people leave. Did Naughty Dog ended after Rubin and Gavin left? As an outsider who would love Bungie doing new "finite" games again... Fuck it, change, transform. Bungie has more than 1300 devs. No need to have everyone working on the same game that will last 10 years.
Rise of the ronin feels like a video game that would have been made years ago. Its fun, don't just take in the reviews, its open world ninja gaiden, cool systems and fighting mechanics
Hey Chris, the difference between someone complaining a game is woke and journalists whining that a game is politically incorrect is the journalist is demanding censorship while the anti-woke person is simply bitching. If I complain about The Last Of Us 2 then how does that affect your experience? It seems like it only bothers you because you agree with the agenda that's being implemented.
Watching Colin buy the PSVR2 and never use it because he knows it’s crap. he should gave this type of good will to Microsoft. Always being an apologist will never force Sony to get GOOD. The device is paperweight. Doesn’t stand a chance and yall defended it being tethered because you have ps5 powering it. What a joke 😂
Sorry, but as someone who has listened to Tom since 2020, he did push ‘muh SSD’ quite a bit for the PS5, and said that some games could only run on PS5 because of it. I do like his tech analysis when it comes to Nvidia/AMD/Intel though.

I will buy one soon
I love that we get maybe 3 to 4 superhero games and it’s called over saturation but godforbid we release the 50th first person shooter game lmao
Because they enjoy ranting about superhero stuff it seems like. They’re nerds, but the cool kind that don’t like gay stuff like comics.🤷🏻♂️

My brother and I always have this FPS vs. Fidelity debate, and ultimately we realized that sensitivity to them differs person to person. There is just no way, these 2 groups of people will see each others dilemma. For me, not sure its due to my near perfect vision, every single artifact, unsmooth edges, visual softness sticks out too much and throws me off of the immersion that I am usually looking for and my eyes never get adjusted to them. FPS however, eventually settles in.
Even if I haven't been eating, I will go and wash my hands before using my controller, just to keep from getting skin oil on it.
They seriously named it PSSR? when you guys were saying it fast it sounded like pisser. No way can they keep that name for the official release, right?
Colin saying ‘hard no’ for amy henning’s first game since Uncharted, just because its Marvel, is so strange

All those great vr games in it's first year and we have metro and Madison VR, zombie army and wanderer soon during the 2nd year.
It boggles my mind you guys haven't spent any time with VR and I suggest you don't bother talking about VR tbh as you seem pretty clueless about the medium if we're honest.
Chris you can have the dual sense mic muted by default on a system level on the PS5
Is this show actually about PlayStation or is this just the “Why Games Media Sucks” podcast now
Colin’s petty
If a PS5 with a $70 game can sell for $399 in March of this year why couldn't a PS5 Pro without a game sell for a $170 markup in November and hit that $499 sweet spot? I'd bet that it does.
No way.
Colin doesn't know what energy drinks are? What?
He didn't know that GamerFuel WAS an energy drink or not.
I only got my ps5 about 6 months ago but FF7 Rebirth in particular looks insanely good on performance mode, same with Spiderman 2. At times I can barely believe what I'm seeing. I see no reason to get a ps5 pro personally but each to their own.
Callisto Protocol was a PS Plus monthly game back in Oct( I believe) I could not beat it as my PS5 would constantly overheat from that game. No other game before that or since has done that to my PS5. I even opened up my system to clean the air vents and it still happened. Am I the only person that had this happen to them on this game? Just felt like it was not optimized for my PS5.
I like the original DS more than the lite. For me, it was more comfortable.
Apparently devs have Jedi Survivor running in 4K @ 120FPS on PS5 Pro dev kits...
MF SACRAMENT DAY
In good faith & with respect to Colin. I’m not an expert in community managers. However one google search does tell me there’s 1.4 million users who follow the last of us Reddit. Sounds to me like there could be some work there IMO 😂
I would imagine (and perhaps incorrectly) if you have a single player game/ franchise that sells millions of copies there’s probably plenty of work for a community manager to do.
Note I’m not making an argument that what a CM does in this instance is the most important. In fact it’s probably one of the least important things for a single player game. But I bet there’s plenty of work to be done regardless. Seems reductive to assume they have nothing to do.
Oh damn Chris is back.
Tales of eternia and Tales of symphonia (I know she didnt work on that one, but have to be honest) - even if they havnt aged the best and I have no intrest in replaying them today, will still be some of my favorite jrpgs of all time and was an awesome experience as a kid.
Mass effect 2 knockback when? ty that is all
Ps5 to ps5 pro is like upgrading from 6700 (non xt) to 6800 XT with better RT.
The 6800 XT can play any game at 4k Medium, and most games on high/ultra. Add PSSR in the equation and the ps5 pro should be able to achieve 4k 60 fps (with pssr) in 99% of games with ease.
is chris picking his neck and sniffing it?? gross dude lol
Remember when Bungie’s influence helped to get The Last of Us Multiplayer cancelled? I said it back then and I still feel that they did that to prevent any competition in their live service market. Did Bungie have any say on Helldivers 2? Not sure but we know that game launched.
I think it’s stupid how Colin continuous to say that the best solution for Sony is to sell Bungie at a loss. That’s insane lol. Sony might not know FPS but they do know business better than Bungie. They can for sure run Bungie from a business stand point and let the creatives come up with the games like they do with every other first party studio
Agreed. Bungie needs a change in management. They still have the creative talent but they’re being run by idiots
Bungie Name alone holds weight “ being able to say in ads, from the creators of halo and destiny” alone is worth millions
@xwers1234 but is that worth billions?
per usual, the PS VR2 conversation was brutal to listen to. glad that Colin admits he doesn't use it. blown away by Chris' comment on it being a hassle to use (essentially admitting he has likely never used it). next time there's VR news Colin & Chris should refrain from talking. just state that you won't be commenting on a product you have little to no experience with.
What? They weren’t even talking about if it is a good or bad product. They were talking about how it has sold poorly, which is a fact at this point.
@@X82BIGBLUE82X they had a nearly 30 min conversation on it and you mention poor sales? how do you quantify "poorly"? since there aren't official numbers on its profit margins or sales or sales goals then it'd be odd to say that. the conversation was sparked by a Bloomberg article regarding production. and Sony has debunked previous Bloomberg reports in the past.
my comment and point is this. go back through the SS episodes and listen to both Colin & Chris' feedback on PS VR 1 & 2. and it's blatantly obvious from their comments that they aren't interested in using it as a median for video games (Chris didn't even know which one he owns). yet every time they do comment it's clear they don't use it. saying it is a hassle to use is a joke. you plug it into the PS5. you turn it on. you play. there is no hassle. and the constant bitching about it having a cord is ridiculous. much like the constant framerate whining. both complaints fall in the minority. it's tiresome to hear bad takes on a product they don't use.
PSVR2 is trash. Quest is top of the line..
@@Keepitcivil_ very civil response. amazed by your intelligence.
can't watch for more then 10 minutes so much sadness in this podcast
lol
Best handheld console is the Vita OLED
I'm stupid what did Chris mean when he said "and the tragedy of that is we are..."
in response to Colin saying that we should be smarter than ever.
As far as I can tell, he means "We are smarter than we have ever been, and yet we see people do the dumbest things all the time.
OK that’s pretty much how I took it but the way Colin responded made me think there was more to it like it was some great insight lol. I hate when things fly over my head.
Thanks for easing my mind!
22:02 poo-pourri? poo-pourri? Its potpourri. As in Edgar Alan Poe.😂

Jenova is controlling Sephiroth and trying to control Cloud. She is Madara.
2024 is already better than 2023 for me, the releases so far have been so good.
For PSVR2, I was super stoked when it was announced. Wanted to buy one day 1.
Then just like the Vita the bad mews came in...
No backwards compatible with the PS VR games I collected for free with my plus subscription that I never got to play.
Price way too high for my taste (I know it's mostly priced well, but for someone looking to jump into vr by curiosity, it is way too expensive)
I think the sacred boys are bit overly pessimistic on the PS5 Pro. There are way way way more games that are GPU limited rather than CPU limited. Framerate will go up across the board for the most part.
I enjoy listening to this podcast a lot of the time but man, listening to it as a comic book fan is infuriating sometimes.
Y'all aren't comic book fans so of course you aren't going to be interested in Marvel 1943 but as someone who is a big fan of Captain America and Black Panther, I am very much looking forward to it. We've never gotten a Black Panther game and the last Captain America game was in 2011. They might all be in the same universe but that doesn't make all the characters identical.
We used to get Marvel games like crazy, this is nothing new, they just went on hiatus for a while after the Activision deal expired in 2014.
If you know they aren't comic fans, why would their opinions still be infuriating?
@Tatman2TheResQ Because it's annoying to hear them say the same thing every time they have to talk about them. Like how Colin keeps wondering how people aren't sick of them yet, which I think is silly. There are plenty of anime inspired JRPGs that come out all the time but they don't say anything about those because they like those types of games, and that's fine. But if they really don't like superheroes this much, just say the game is releasing and move on, idk.
@@RedKnightInGotham Yeah, not sure what kind of balance they can really do with that. I get it though.
I'm with you there
I understand them not liking the genre, but I don't get why they don't understand the appeal of it to others
Is getting 1 Marvel game every 1-2 years as of right now really any different to new Final Fantasy games releasing in the same timespan?
Especially when the super hero games are 15-25 hours and FF is 60+ lol I am sick of super hero movies but games...games are different as you really get to live that power fantasy. Just hope they get a bit edgier as Spiderman 2 felt like a kids movie to me at times@@Billyb311
I don't care about Star Wars but stilled loved the Jedi games from Respawn because it had great gameplay. I actually do like Marvel stuff, even though they are over exposed. But I feel like 1943: Rise of Hydra could just play like Uncharted but with suoer strength. That sounds great to me
Psvr2 is not a hassle to set up. You plug it in and put it on your head... it literally takes away all the hassle from the prior one.
I think the main barrier is just locking people off inside the headset. For me to play, I have to have free time without a toddler running around and be fully focused on just that experience. That is my main issue with vr, no multi tasking like I can with normal games. When I do get the chance to play psvr 2 and be fully immersed, it's fantastic and definitely something totally different and special when compared to flat gaming. But the barrier is the headset itself, not the set up being a hassle.
Agreed, it takes me 4 mins to take VR2 out the box, put the controllers on the sofa, get my breakfast stool to sit on, place the headset on my head and I'm ready to go.
@sprinter1boy I don't even have mine in the box. Mine is on a shelf above the ps5, so it's literally 20 seconds of lifting the headset and plugging the wire in, get controllers out of the dock fully charged and ready to go. Very accessible and easy compared to the first one. I just wish I had more time alone to use the thing but I feel that way about gaming in general now, guess I'm getting old 😅
@@funzbunz highly recommend paradise hotel, about 7 hours long and puzzling places with 3D jigsaws was a suprise great game (if you like jigsaws that is)
I was kinda annoyed at Colin, Chris and Justin for how little knowledge they have really of VR in general, especially twds good VR2 games they know off.
Ps5 pro will increase the res to near 4k for those games running at 60fps, so performance mode with have much better resolution instead of being like 1200p
I see you finally talk about PSVR.
On the PS5 Pro discussion, its quite possible if you cant get a game from 30 to 60, the Pro might still have enough CPU grunt to enable a locked 40fps mode, which many have enjoyed as a happy medium.
Personally if the Pro is not enough to get us to 60 fps, I am not sure I will get it. Unless games become almost unplayable on the base PS5 like they were on base PS4 by the end...
As lots of games have dynamic resolution, i would think alot of ganes on performance mode going 1440p+
I’ve always just purchased the original versions of the consoles. I like it that way because it maximises each generational leap.
PS4 pro was a must own for me as my base PS4 was a freaking jet engine with the late generation PS4 games, but this time I am not convinced yet.

Why are gamers such mindless consumers and bad financial managers? “Hell yea I’m going to waste 800 dollars on a machine to give me marginal improvements over the PS5!”
PS5 Pro hasn't even been announced yet. A lot will depend on the effectiveness of PSSR. If it works well, it could greatly improve frame rates in games, which would by no means be a marginal improvement.
@@Marcus_K I'm just saying you can't bitch and whine about a bad economy and inflation and yada yada when you're perfectly willing to shell out more than 600 bucks on a slightly better PS5 (can't imagine the improvement would be that massive because these GTA 6 reports wouldn't be out there)
@@HardcoreGamer101508Why are you assuming that a lot of people will buy the Pro?
What was said that needed to be cut in the intro about the medical and dentist conversation ✌🏻👀👇🏻😜
2:55 What did Chris see???
I agree that PS should've ported regular games to VR, there's a huge library that could've received a port to make it work. However, the way I see it VR in general is on the way out. It's a gimmicky and people didn't buy it. There's not much there aside from a first person shooter here or a party game there.
UA-cam also same my live and Money. Only thing I watch now is UA-cam premium and don’t get any other subscription apps
I just played RE5, maybe the tribal zombies could be offensive to some, but anything can be offensive to someone. But like Chris said, it's a remake, remake the cringy bits, edit them out. Set it in South Africa where you can have a variety of races to be zombies if that's necessary. 🤷♂️ and btw RE6 is not bad, currently playing on XSX, looks amazing for that generation. VERY fast, quicktime events, and action heavy compared to past entries. Also a lot of cinematics for better or worse. ✌️
VR in general just doesn't meet the baseline cost/benefit for me yet. I'd assume that VR (or some version of it) is the future of games, but I just don't think the tech is there yet. I'd rather spend the money on a really nice GPU to play better games at their best (which is what I did personally).
Always awesome to see Bungie fans/players treating the company like a unicorn while it's on a huge downhill.
"Oh no, don't touch that, Bungie is really good at it". The holy leadership that apparently can't leave or the company will practically die is basically the reason the company has been operating so poorly recently. It won't be the end of the world if some of these people leave. Did Naughty Dog ended after Rubin and Gavin left?
As an outsider who would love Bungie doing new "finite" games again... Fuck it, change, transform. Bungie has more than 1300 devs. No need to have everyone working on the same game that will last 10 years.
Absolutely love UA-cam premium
Rise of the ronin feels like a video game that would have been made years ago. Its fun, don't just take in the reviews, its open world ninja gaiden, cool systems and fighting mechanics
Hey Chris, the difference between someone complaining a game is woke and journalists whining that a game is politically incorrect is the journalist is demanding censorship while the anti-woke person is simply bitching. If I complain about The Last Of Us 2 then how does that affect your experience? It seems like it only bothers you because you agree with the agenda that's being implemented.
Both are trash
@@daksans6764 - No one is valid and the other isn't. Anyone that accepts the woke stuff is human trash.
Sony needs to give up on VR.
Watching Colin buy the PSVR2 and never use it because he knows it’s crap. he should gave this type of good will to Microsoft. Always being an apologist will never force Sony to get GOOD. The device is paperweight. Doesn’t stand a chance and yall defended it being tethered because you have ps5 powering it. What a joke 😂
Yeah he should have bought Microsoft's Xbox VR too!
@@TopTwomIs that really your argument?
@@EvernhamNo9 halo is coming to PlayStation. Just a reminder
Shout-out to Tom. I also felt sites were disrespectful towards him or didn't even acknowledge his leak.
He’s dealt with that forever since he started this. His analysis and predictions is better than theirs
Sorry, but as someone who has listened to Tom since 2020, he did push ‘muh SSD’ quite a bit for the PS5, and said that some games could only run on PS5 because of it. I do like his tech analysis when it comes to Nvidia/AMD/Intel though.
