SG 123 | Repaso al NO E3 + Valoramos DIABLO IV + FF XVI Demo

Episode notes

The episode reviews the aftermath of the NO E3, with an uneven assessment of its presentations: they criticise Summer Game Fest’s pacing, celebrate Xbox’s performance, and highlight Ubisoft’s event for its dates and lengthy demonstrations. They discuss announcements such as Starfield, Avowed, Clockwork Revolution, Alan Wake 2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Star Wars Outlaws, the latter being one of the titles that generates the most enthusiasm.

They also try and assess several demos. Lies of P appeals to them because of its concept and aesthetic, although they see room for improvement in its pacing, combat, and polish. By contrast, the Final Fantasy XVI demo leaves very positive impressions because of its action combat, narrative presentation, save transfer, and accessibility options.

The central section is devoted to Diablo IV. They describe it as a darker entry closer to Diablo II, with a story centred on Lilith, character customisation, character progression, and co-op. They analyse its world tiers, enemy scaling, endgame, items, mounts, and classes, and consider it a strong recommendation for fans of the genre and the series. The programme also mentions Timberborn and recent sessions with Cyberpunk 2077 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.
