SG 148 | Xbox Developer Direct 2024 + Hablamos de Apple Vision Pro & Debate
Episode notes
The program opens with impressions of Star Ocean Second Story R, an RPG remake that Carlos recommends after around twenty hours of play, and Book of Demons, a paper-styled dungeon game designed to adapt sessions to the time available. They then discuss the demos of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Tekken 8, highlighting the former’s mobility, traps and combat, as well as the latter’s modes, story and fluidity.
Current affairs focus on Apple Vision Pro: they debate its high estimated price in Spain, weight, external battery, in-person fitting and possible motion sickness, but also its immersive capacity and ability to create workspaces. They also consider whether Apple can drive virtual-reality adoption. They cover Ubisoft Plus price and plan changes before following the Xbox Developer Direct 2024. They analyze Avowed, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Visions of Mana and Ara: History Untold; the event’s closing section especially highlights the presentation of the new Indiana Jones game and the release windows announced for 2024.
