SECTOR GAMING 25: Vuelve Lucas Arts + ENDLING: un indie emocional y ecologico para 2021 + Actualidad
Episode notes
The episode opens with the participants’ recent experiences in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, before discussing which platform to recommend to someone starting to play. They compare the cost of a PC and consoles, along with their services, prices, libraries and backward compatibility. They also recommend taking advantage of Star Wars Battlefront 2 being distributed free on Epic Games.
The central debate focuses on new IPs, reboots and the revival of known franchises. Examples such as Tomb Raider, Doom and Duke Nukem Forever are discussed, as are expectations for Ubisoft’s open-world Star Wars project and Ubisoft Massive’s work. The programme also considers the length of Ubisoft games, online co-op and how a title’s prior reputation shapes expectations for games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3.
Another prominent section presents Endling: Extinction is Forever, covering its ecological focus, protagonist and survival mechanics. The news section reviews Indiana Jones, Ubisoft Massive’s new Star Wars game and the return of Lucas Arts, alongside Cyberpunk 2077’s development problems, 2020 sales, delays, CES 2021 technology and Spanish streamers’ success. The closing includes audience comments and Nioh Collection for PS5.
