Sacred Games Daily: Video Games News Podcast Sacred Icon

We've got an absolute whopper for you today dedicated solely to one news story; Xbox leads the way on the PlayStation storefront with various games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare II (2022) and Sea of Thieves topping the sales charts.

This leads us to question: what are Xbox's current and future plans in this new era and whether we, as gamers, need to try a little harder to gain perspective when assessing what we truly value in our oh-so-prestigious hobby. All of this and more on today's episode!

A rather upsetting news episode for Bryan and Joe today as industry insider and journalist, Jeff Grubb reported EA Motive - the developers behind the 2023 Dead Space Remake - have scrapped or shelved the sequel which was in its concept phase.

But with every cloud, there's a silver lining; Ubisoft reveals new details for their exciting upcoming blaster-abundant adventure, Star Wars Outlaws, and Amazon's Fallout TV show gets rave out-the-door reviews making your hosts contemplate giving this video game adaptation a try.

Between the news of the KOTOR Remake not quite being dead in the water as we once thought and the upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake supposedly to feature heavily in Sony's May event showcase, Bryan and Joe take this episode to question the quality of where the industry sits with remakes as well as whether the aforementioned two will be true heavy hitters going forward.

After 80 hours Bryan has finally rolled credits on one of the most anticipated games of the year. Does Rebirth have the chops to follow up on 2020’s Remake? Is it faithful to the original? Our first full review awaits.

Wondering where Xbox fit into the console sphere right now? Well, you're not the only one, as Phil Spencer examines handheld consoles and industry analysts question Game Pass viability, we are too! We discuss this and more on today's episode.

Rise of the Ronin reviews are out. It’s definitely good, but not a knockout once in a generation Sony first party title. Are the standards for what makes a good exclusive unfairly skewed between Xbox and PlayStation? It certainly seems that way.
