SG 137 | Probamos Mario Wonder + Meta Quest 3 + Forza Motorsport & GOTYs
Episode notes
The episode opens with the situation surrounding Lords of the Fallen, a release debated for its lack of polish, and with an assessment of Assassin’s Creed Mirage after completing its story: they highlight its more compact approach and return to stealth. They then share first impressions of Forza Motorsport, praised for its driving and presentation, although some of the panel prefer the open world and arcade tone of Forza Horizon. They also cover other driving games and introduce Samba de Amigo in virtual reality.
Meta Quest 3 takes up a large part of the show: they discuss using it as a virtual display for PC and Nintendo Switch, battery life, color passthrough, and storage options. In the news section, they assess the reception of Spider-Man2, explain what Mario Wonder is like, and discuss Activision Blizzard games coming to Game Pass. The final stretch covers EA Sports FC 24’s technical problems and a wide-ranging debate about 2023 GOTY contenders, with particular attention to Baldur’s Gate 3, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Starfield, and other releases from the year. They close by looking at Assassin’s Creed Nexus and Asgard’s Wrath 2 for virtual reality.
