Episode notes

The episode reviews several news items and dedicates much of the program to assessing the New World beta. It first discusses Abandoned’s enigmatic promotion, speculation about Hideo Kojima and Silent Hill, and the announced dates for its application and demonstration. It also covers the problem affecting some EVGA RTX 3090 graphics cards during the New World beta, along with measures announced by EVGA and the game.

Pets No More is then presented as a frisbee arcade game starring zombified companion animals, with obstacles, special attacks and local versus mode. The main New World analysis explains its setting, three factions, impressive visuals, environmental interaction and weapon-based progression system without predefined classes. The hosts discuss aiming-based combat, the freedom to change builds, optional PvP, camps and the healer experience. The main criticism concerns repetitive quests and a lack of long-term content, although crafting, technical presentation, aesthetics and the economy are viewed positively. The provisional verdict is positive, pending the final version. Finally, the episode reviews its planned PC release, approximate price and monthly-subscription-free model.
