Ready to journey through the captivating world of gaming with us? We’re thrilled to have retro gaming legend RGT join our host, Sebastian Malden aka Triple S, for an in-depth discussion that spans the current state of gaming in 2024, the storytelling mastery of titles like "Horizon Forbidden West," and a nostalgic trip back to the glory days of 8-bit consoles. RGT dives into his newfound passion for "Horizon Forbidden West," comparing its stunning visuals and narrative depth to behemoths like "Breath of the Wild" and "Elden Ring." We also dissect how Horizon's intricate world-building stacks up against the Zelda series and the evolution of storytelling in games.

Ever wondered what makes a game’s narrative truly compelling? We tackle this question by comparing the storytelling techniques of "Horizon Zero Dawn" and "Assassin's Creed Valhalla." While "Horizon" earns high marks for its streamlined gameplay and gripping story, we express our disappointment with recent "Assassin's Creed" titles that seem trapped in a cycle of repetition. We also draw parallels between high-budget TV shows and open-world games, discussing whether Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars game might break out of the traditional Ubisoft formula and offer something genuinely innovative.

As we wrap up, join us on a trip down memory lane with a heartfelt exploration of retro gaming and the joys of collecting classic consoles. From the host's personal anecdotes about childhood gaming aspirations and the creation of a dedicated game shed to the impact of digital store closures on game preservation, we cover it all. Plus, we share our excitement for future releases like "Indiana Jones," "Fable," and "Perfect Dark," and talk about how the scarcity of new must-have games this year has pushed us to explore new genres. Whether you're a retro gaming enthusiast or a modern-day gamer, this episode promises a rich blend of insights, nostalgia, and excitement for what's to come.
