PODTALKS 2023 | Nuestra historia con los videojuegos & GOTY 2023 + Presentación Iniciativa Podgaming
Episode notes
A special recorded live at PodTalks 2023 in which Sector Gaming looks back on its personal relationship with video games and consoles. The talk begins with the show’s format and travels through the rivalry between the NES and Master System 2, the first Game Boy and Game Gear handhelds, and the 16-bit generation with Super Nintendo and Mega Drive. It then covers the arrival of PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, blending memories of controllers, peripherals, game libraries and technological changes.
The second part brings together their GOTY 2023 candidates. They discuss the strengths and reservations surrounding titles such as Starfield, Final Fantasy XVI, Hogwarts Legacy and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, before choosing Baldur's Gate 3 for its options, narrative, art, music and its connection between old school players and newer audiences. The closing section introduces the Podgaming Initiative: a network of video game podcasts that promotes crossovers, playlists, themed series, awards and mutual support to improve the visibility and production of its members.
