SG 108 | ¿Está condenado el formato físico? + Microsoft presenta batalla con Nintendo y Geforce + ATOMIC HEART
Episode notes
The show opens with impressions after finishing Hogwarts Legacy, trying the Octopath Traveler 2 demo, and starting Atomic Heart through Game Pass. It then reviews Steam sale and NextFest dates, discusses Netflix price cuts in several markets, and reflects on Warner's potential in games after the success of Hogwarts Legacy. It also covers the launch of PlayStation VR2: its features, showcase games, price, catalogue, and comparison with Quest and SteamVR alternatives. In corporate news, it analyses the ten-year agreements Microsoft announced with Nintendo and Nvidia around the Activision Blizzard acquisition and Call of Duty. The central debate concerns the future of physical media, increasingly tied to collecting and editions with added incentives. The final section is devoted extensively to Atomic Heart: its retrofuturist Soviet setting, slow opening, combat, differences between PC and console, availability, and expectations the team recommends keeping moderate.
