Summary

Strange and potentially exciting things are happening at Electronic Arts, the once-maligned super-publisher that seems intent on turning things around, at least when it comes to hardcore players' perceptions of its brand. After ruining Mass Effect, nearly running BioWare into the ground, closing down storied dev Visceral, and botching most of its exclusive run of Star Wars games, it seems EA finally gets it: The audience demands more single-player games. And rumors are EA's about to deliver another one in the form of a Dead Space revival. That makes what was once dead very much alive, and we're very excited to talk about it. Plus: It appears Castlevania is getting a new collection, Sony expects PS5 to break sales records once it can adequately manufacture units, Ghost of Tsushima may be getting a standalone expansion, and much more. Then: Is Microsoft's xCloud a really big deal? What does it mean for a developer to be "media trained?" Will Sony wow us when they return to the mobile market? Does Chris know the difference between Cesar Romero and George Romero? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:29.2

This is episode number 156. My name is column warrior. I'm joined as always by Chris Reagan, who apparently is dressed up as

0:36.8

ACG today. So yeah, yeah, you had to make sure to like fill in the void. Yeah. No, I'm doing all right. I was just outside and

0:45.7

I don't know where my normal normal glasses are. I miss place them. So this is just awesome. So you put on your Delson row slash ACG

0:55.3

costume. Well, welcome. How you doing? I'm doing good. I'm having a good time. You know, just having a good time. I'm having a good time.

1:03.8

You know, just just chilling, going with the flow. You know, cool. When are you? Are you ever going to leave California?

1:09.4

Yeah, I mean, I don't want to be here. So like I'm sure I'll definitely get the hell out of here eventually, but

1:16.3

they're well fair enough. That's a pretty logical conclusion, I think. Dustin Furman, executive producer of last stand media,

1:22.6

I'll slow co-host of Sacred Symbols. How are you today, my friend? I'm adequate. I'm neither good nor bad. I'm just kind of like

1:29.2

waiting in the water, which I guess is good. Things that's why I wish you got to keep in perspective. You could be, you know,

1:35.2

hungry or

1:36.2

homeless or or something. So I guess I am doing good in that context. Well, I'm happy to see you and you're wearing your PlayStation

1:43.2

shirt. I'm also wearing my play. Oh, one of my PlayStation shirts here. It was on top of the pile. It's time. I was thinking that I kind of need to buy some new t-shirts because

1:50.4

indeed, I don't buy clothes. Like I just don't buy clothes and so I have a shit ton of t-shirts, but if you actually go back and watch

1:57.7

videos from even like IGN and obviously kind of fun, you see me sitting wearing the same exact things like over and over and over again,

2:02.7

because I just don't care that much. And so you know what I was thinking would be a fun shirt, and I'm going to look into see if

2:07.4

if it exists or if it'll get, you get it made, which would be an ash rush shirt with the logo from Returnal on it, the

2:13.6

like the corporation. Yeah, cool shirts like that. So that's what I kind of want to look into with some neat stuff like that. And by the way, did you guys, if you guys pre-ordered

2:20.9

ratcheting clank, you may have gotten a $5 coupon in your email for the PlayStation merch store. And there's like a bunch of new merch over there. So

2:29.6
