SG 154 | MAS DESPIDOS: ¿HA COLAPSADO LA INDUSTRIA? + Ya hemos jugado a FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH & ACTUALIDAD
Episode notes
Sector Gaming Podcast looks back at its FNAC event with Redbook Ediciones, including giveaways and the publication of the video on YouTube, before discussing several games. They highlight that Helldivers 2 is very fun and straightforward, although its bugs, crashes, and match ejections call for patience. They also give first impressions of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH after several hours: they emphasize the move to an open world, the new combat, customization, and crafting mechanics, but note that some areas and secondary towns feel sparsely populated.
The news segment brings together reports about Nintendo Switch 2, the commercial reception of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rise of the Ronin's co-op mode, and news from other studios. The central section addresses layoffs at Sony, Electronic Arts, and Supermassive, linking them to cancellations, post-COVID overhiring, business decisions, and the saturation of live-service games. The team argues for more focused experiences aligned with what audiences want, using Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 as reference points. They close with the Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds documentary and news around the Souls series.
