SG 246 | PROJECT GENIE + RECOMENDAMOS CAIRN + SWITCH 2 SORPRENDE + ACTUALIDAD
Episode notes
The program opens by recommending Cairn, a climbing adventure in which each limb of a mountaineer is controlled and resources, grips, and protection points are managed throughout the ascent. It then reviews Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch sales data, and discusses whether the price of games for the new console is affecting their forecasts. It also covers Obsidian’s situation, the Resident Evil 9 and Pragmata demos on Switch 2, news about Resident Evil Requiem, and the controversy around visual censorship in Dispatch on Switch.
In the second half, the show discusses a definitive edition of The Division, possible news for ID Software’s anniversary, and the company closure following the early access release of Ashes of Creation. The main segment focuses on Project Genie, Google’s generative AI tool for creating explorable worlds through text. The participants highlight its potential as a starting point for video games, while stressing its current limitations and opening a discussion about copyright, use of others’ material, creativity, and employment in the industry.
