Showcase Showdown | Sacred Symbols: A PlayStation Podcast, Episode 255
Unbelievably, the moment has finally come: A PlayStation showcase draws near. By the time the hour-plus event concludes, it’ll have been more than 600 days since the last showcase in ’21. In other words, Sony simply has to bring the heat, and we suspect they will. This week, let’s take the time to dissect PlayStation’s potential first, second, and third party plans for its mid-gen coming-out, and get into some other news in the ecosystem, too, including the reveal of a Mortal Kombat reboot and strong indications that Grand Theft Auto VI is nearing its end-phase of development. Listener inquiries help us explore other interesting topics as well, including nudity in games, Sony’s potential to sell Zelda-like numbers, and how we “earn“ our gaming time. Colin also nails himself in the nuts mid-show, much to everyone’s delight.
