SG 120 | Zelda TOTK + Nuevo PS Showcase + Europa aprueba la compra de Activision Blizzard
Episode notes
The episode opens with the technical issues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: a loss of progress forced the hosts to replay nearly ten hours, even though they rate its campaign very highly. They then recommend different entry points to Zelda, discuss the mech indie Uragan on Steam Deck, and cover news including the development of Grand Theft Auto VI, the PlayStation Access controller, Overwatch 2, BlizzCon, Lords of the Fallen, Mortal Kombat 1, and Steam’s free trials. They also address Europe’s conditional approval of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard King and expectations for the upcoming PlayStation Showcase, especially regarding PSVR2, possible announcements, and remakes.
The central section is devoted to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The team highlights its freedom of exploration, building possibilities, vertical design, and the abundance of shrines, puzzles, and activities. They praise its story, atmosphere, music, and ability to encourage experimentation, while warning that it requires players to adapt to its progression style. They also point out Nintendo Switch’s technical limitations, such as pop-in and performance drops, without these overshadowing a very positive final assessment.
