SECTOR GAMING 59 | ¿Qué consola comprar? + ¿Forza Horizon 5 GOTY? + The Game Awards
Episode notes
The program analyzes video game news ahead of The Game Awards, beginning with a new third-person shooter developed by former DICE staff and the situation surrounding Battlefield and Call of Duty. It also discusses whether release dates disadvantage games arriving late in the year, focusing especially on Forza Horizon 5’s absence from the Game of the Year nominees. The team reviews its strengths, variety of activities, and the option to play it through Game Pass.
The news continues with the limited version of Godfall on PlayStation Plus, Take-Two’s lawsuit against Hazelight over the name It Takes Two, and the growth of cloud gaming services. Steam Deck, new handheld devices, Sony virtual-reality prototypes, Ubisoft Quartz, and Ubisoft’s strategy for future productions are also discussed.
In the second half, the panel answers which console to buy with a budget of 500 euros, comparing Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Finally, it reviews the GOTY nominations, strongly defends It Takes Two and Metroid Dread, discusses expected The Game Awards announcements, and looks ahead to a 2022 packed with releases.
