It’s been seven years since Sony-owned studio Media Molecule released a full-fledged triple-A game, which is ridiculous. So today, we figured we’d answer a …

Hey All!
I hope you're well. A few notes!
1.) People are continuing to ask for video, which is fine. I always want to hear what you have to say. But, I say this just so you don't continue to waste your time, or feel like you're not being heard: Sacred Symbols is never going to be a video. It's an audio podcast, and I post it here as a courtesy, so that folks can enjoy it on a platform they prefer.
Your feedback is always welcome, but the answer is going to continue to be no. If that's a super important component for you to enjoy the show, I totally understand! Podcast Beyond is a PlayStation show that also does video, and that might be more your speed. I won't be offended at all if that's the case. I'm one person running a company by himself, and am doing the best I can.
2.) Folks want timestamps. I'm totally open to that! If anyone wants to timestamp any episode, just do so and put it in a comment, and when I see it, I'll sticky it or otherwise elevate it so folks can check it out.
3.) Thank you for your continued support and kindness! Chris and I are so pleased with how the podcast is doing, and how much it's resonating with people. It's really awesome to see.
We're working hard, and we're glad it shows!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. -Colin
Not a PlayStation guy, but I love hearing your insights.
I thought we were supporting you so don't get annoyed by these ads so disappointing
Ain't nobody gonna hook their computer all the way in their computer room up to the tv in the living room. More consoles to come.
Un-fucking-believable that Colin is now doing "baked in ads" considering how much we support him on Patreon. Wow.
A game set in rome where you are a soilder who grows his own estate and conquers the city like sulla or ceasar. but it be a third person action adventure game. Like shadow of mordor but real and rome.
I’m a big fan of the 50’s aesthetic as well
The problem wasn’t just that they weren’t full triple A it was more because Drawn to Death really was an awful game
I absolutely would like Insomniac to go back and make a new Spyro. Very much disagree with you guys there!
Enjoying the podcasts!
Yes, we're still wondering about Dreams' release date and we can go back and forth about what the game is. It's pretty clear by this point what the game is. What baffles me is that people can't comprehend what the game will bring us. Have you seen what we were able to make in LBP? The worlds and things that we're going to see from the players in Dreams are going to be absolutely stunning. What we've seen so far IS stunning. Did you not see the trailer? People are going to go fucking nuts about this once it comes out. The game will win a lot of awards. People just can't see what is coming but I can see it very clearly. This isn't Tearaway or LBP. Just listening to you guys talking about the game as if it's a trainwreck is just hilarious. "We'll see.." Yeah you WILL see.
Lots of us are hyped for Dreams, it's going to be huge.
Fortnite is making money hand over fist but great episode!
I like the show and have followed Colin for years, but I found it a little strange that you don't cite your sources for the news section, especially when you read the articles verbatim. As a former journalist yourself wouldn't be important to give credit where credit is due? It feels like stealing.
In regards to Dreams, they have confirmed that PSVR will be coming day one. Although it has been delayed again and again, Dreams is definitely my most anticipated game! It just seems like there's so much possibilities with it and everytime they show it I get even more excited!
I was hoping that you guys would have had more insight on it (since this was the title of the episode), but it honestly seemed like you barely researched this game. Most of the people that I've seen talk about Dreams are super excited. It's essentially LBP with no limitations! Plus you can create more than just games like music and movies!
I like Steins;Gate, so I can confirm there are some people that care about it. One or two people, but some people nonetheless.
Animated Video Game Shows can be great. Castlevania was excellent. An animated God of War series could be great.
Dislike
Really dope logo Colin, but DAMN the intro/theme music for this podcast is awful. Like it doesn't work at all. Hope it's not too late to change it and keep up the good work!
I missed this in my work week. So glad it’s back
Great show! Just wanted to let the co-host know you can play Red Dead Redemption via back compatibility (with disc or pay $15) on Xbox One… if you have an Xbox One.
Can you put this podcast on itunes? I love listening to you guys, and would be awesome to hear you in the car..
I think you guys are completely wrong about Dreams. It's going to be worth the wait.
"Yeah I don't know…"
I hope Days Gone does well amd they eat their fucking words
Such. A Bizarre hate for Dreams…what an asshole
Loving the new podcast Colin!
Solid ep guys. Feels like now you’ve gotten into the groove. 👍🏼
I know its a podcast but where is your face man?
Love the podcast Collin. I listen on iTunes, but I'm gonna comment here. Would you consider including a weekly Trophy segment? Love to know of your thoughts on easy or difficult platinums in games you are playing, or have read about.
My hot take for Days gone. The reason they didn't make a big push is because They need to fill a PSX or a PGW (whatever they go with) so spiderman was the big E3 push because its out sept, then Days gone will push at the end of the year
Hi this is great, but consider making it a video podcast.
Play Octopath Traveler the game is great. I am having a lot of fun with it, I like it a lot. I wouldn't wait for a ps4 version, if they make one.
All because Greg Miller sucks….if colin jumps off a cliff will I follow, yes, yes I will
YES! 100% Yes! Crash Team Racing is easily the best cart racing game ever made, and this coming from a snes kid who considers snes Mario Kart the definitive Mario Kart entry and one of my fav couch co-op games of all time. Still surprised to this day there hasn't been a CTR remastered or at the least a port with online multiplayer added. CTR 2 (Nitro) was good too but failed to capture the same feeling of top speeds the first did.

Top notch.I would expect nothing less from colin
Colin will remember this @ 59:04
Totally agree with you guys that Twitter has ruined society
Chris is a great choice for this, really brings a lot to the convo 😀
Is this the first time Colin admitted publicly to smoking!?
I’ve always wanted a god of war tv show or movie
