Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! Are physical releases dying? With the PS5 Pro going fully digital by default, is the industry finally moving away from physical media for good? What does that mean for the mountains of games sitting on our shelves? Trev and Stu tackle all of these questions and more, as we debate the pro’s and cons of a disc-less future.

  • Stu is still addicted to Call of Duty!
  • Trev dives back into the Ratchet & Clank series.
  • PS3 on the Steam Deck vs an actual PS3.
  • Did the PS2 do mascot platformers better than the GameCube?
  • Is streaming a good solution for backwards compatibility?
  • How movies and TV shows maintain forwards compatibility.
  • Is it reasonable to expect every old game to work on every new console?
  • Are official remasters and small official emulated game collections as good as it will ever get?
  • Current-era games, and how they could be handled by future consoles.
  • Is piracy the only way to preserve old games?
