Ghost of Tsushima pushed the graphics of the PS4 Pro and got close to PS5. Welcome back, everyone. So today I just want to talk about ghosts of Tsushima. And how amazing the graphics are. This game has a lot of next gen features when it comes to graphics and how the grass and wind blows against the gainst. The background, I mean, when you're traveling and goes into Shima, it's so neat to see the grass blow, I haven't seen grass physics this good ever, like this game got it completely correct. And when you're going across the field off into the distance as a samurai, and seeing the reflections that this game does so well, often the distance with the field and the wind blowing, there's nothing like this I've seen in gaming on this level, props to the developers of ghosts of Tsushima. and developing this game with such love and such heart, when it comes to the graphics, I haven't. And there's just one scene near the beginning, where you're fighting, and you're training as a samurai, and the leaves are blowing across the fighting scene. And it's just those little touches, that really bring this game to an incredible level of what we want to see. And that's what's so amazing with this game and the samurai culture that it takes on and creates in this open world that hasn't been seen before. And the way that you call your horse. And if you sit there for a while, you'll see your horse go and grab some water in the stream even thinks about you not playing. And then when you come back, you see that they're just hanging out by the stream, enjoying the beautiful scenery that has built around this game of Go Tsushima. This is a PlayStation exclusive. I do think this has a lot to do with how the next gen is going to look. They create these features, I don't know how you can make graphics much better in this game, I know I'm going to shoot myself in the foot later on. But the way the physics work on a ps4 Pro, it's going to be take a big leap on the PS five to replicate what we see in this game. And that is props to these developers and putting that time in. And the lighting oh my gosh, the lighting in this is incredible. And that's really what brings the truth to this game is that lighting the way they used it to where they could shorten the scenery yet make it look really nice. And objects off the distance and then focus on those close objects. I love what they did there. And the ability of that changing scenery, and how it goes from nines a day. And I know that's fairly old technology when it comes to graphics. But it's well done. like seeing everything off in the distance and, and being able to see your character right there. Traveling through that scenery, they did such a good job, the lighting, I don't know what ray tracing is going to be able to do with this is on par with anything ray tracing is going to be able to do in the future. And the reflections off the armor was so well, meticulously detailed. And you can tell they spent many years designing this game. It just goes to prove that the future of gaming is all about those people who put the details in who put the time in for graphics and really creating those next gen graphics, that it doesn't just happen overnight that it takes six years of development up to that like a game like this to really etch into those final finer details, even like the footsteps in the game. And how those show up is it's just fun, amazing. And, and the faces in this game, the only thing I can think of is like eleonore type faces of how well they did the faces and really capturing the emotion of a samurai culture and then the Mongols and how they're there and they're there to conquer. And if you don't follow their ways, then they will get angry. And you can see that emotion and go Tsushima and it's very well done. I cannot stress this that is so well done. And then you feel the atmosphere, the Japanese culture, and how it just flows and ebbs and flows, especially in the beginning, we see this and they..

We go over GeForce now and how it could be the future of gaming!What's up everyone. So today we're just gonna talk about streaming services. So today Chromebook is now has GeForce Now. And the quality is actually there. I'm really excited about this. Because I don't have a high powered PC, I tend to game on systems. And this is really cool approach, just being able to stream my games from my stream from my Steam library. And having access to those and the more libraries I have access to such as origin and steam and all that jazz, the better off, you're going to be if you're able to play those demanding games, without having the system in place, that's just going to open the door for more people to get into PC gaming, especially if those streaming services really do take off, but really impressed with what GeForce Now is doing. And they're really opening the door for a lot of different streaming services, I hope they can knock off their competitors, they have a great price point at $5 a month as an incredible price point to get access to our TX cards and R TX technology. And even though it's streaming and it may not look as good is still a great deal to get access to your library and get access to ultra graphics on the go. And that is one of the most amazing things about this new streaming technology is it provides a backdoor entry way for people who may not want to pay that upfront cost when it comes to PC gaming. And this will provide that ability to do that. And yes, streaming is it can be a little bit of a pain. But now that's on Chromebook. That means people have access. There is no excuse on Chromebooks on PC. It's on. It's on the just everything. And now everyone has access to PC gaming, I wish they would have had this 10 years ago, online was kind of that first service that started this whole technology and streaming games. Unfortunately, it failed. But now these other companies took that off, which is PS now. And then Xbox here in the future is going to have their own service that's going to be streaming, and then GeForce Now. And vortex is another one that allows PC game streaming and disability to play games on the go is just going to improve as 5g takes off. So a lot of these new entries are in the hopes that 5g will take off and take over that market, which it will eventually be a very good streaming way on the go. And if you can't tell eventually on a small screen that what you're playing is being streamed that is going to be the game changer. Whoever is able to pull that off. First is going to change I My bet is on the video right now. I do think they have the platform in place to do this because they are already supporting a lot of PC games on stream. As they expand their platform to even supporting all PC games. This is going to be an amazing technology people and it's going to allow entry into the gaming market for let's say young kid, they don't have the money to buy the hardware and their parents maybe don't want to fork out the cash for a high gaming PC. Well now a child for $5 a month can get on GeForce Now and play PC games with their friends. The whole market and door is open now for a lot of people when it comes to these streaming services and after trying out GeForce Now it is legit. Now I will say this, you do need to have a very high internet connection to be able to do it. So you got to have a very robust internet connection. So that's kind of the catch. But if your family has a robust internet connection, you're a kid. This is a great opportunity to break into PC gaming, because a lot of those free games are already on GeForce Now and that's one of the neat things about it. So guys, we're gonna take a quick break. For this podcasts the first sponsorship and we'll be right back. Welcome back to the podcasts. And I just want to thank you all for listening in, I'm really excited about all the theories, we're going to go over. I'm actually let's, I'm actually playing gosa to Shima. So eventually do..

The new graphics technology in a flight simulator 2020 is amazing. Especially, with Azure cloud being added. This game is true next generation! Welcome back to next gen video game theory by Nick awesome. And today we're going to talk about flight simulator, the new one that's coming out and how it's really bringing on an usher on the next generation of video game systems. I'm so incredibly excited for flight simulator, because it is what the graphics are going to be with the next generation. And when you see this iteration, and these videos of these planes flying, the graphics are absolutely astounding. It's using all the new technology, when it comes to graphics and is pushing GPUs that Max, it's only getting like 38 frames per second right now as it today, there may be some optimization done, it's only getting 38 frames per second on 4k with some of the best graphics technology and components that you could possibly have. I am incredibly excited about this system. And what it has to offer. Coming into this year, we have so much excitement coming with the PS five, and the new Xbox. And I've even heard that this new flight simulator is going to be on the new Xbox, eventually you're gonna be able to play with the controller. So definitely excited about that, because I'm looking forward to getting one of those. But one of the neat things about flight simulator is the just the, they're going to add ray tracing to it eventually, right now they don't have it because it hasn't. And they're going to add a lot of different other things to this game. And one of the neat things is that has azura Cloud and what it does, it renders This is a new technology, it renders in the background, the graphics on top of your GPU adding more power to your game. And wow, that is incredible. Being able to have that extra power right there for you is something that is very helpful when it comes to being able to render high graphics, especially in the background, where you can't necessarily see it. So let's say you fly to a city, it's going to be a see real time planes throughout the world and being able to render those planes, and the cities will have updates quickly that way. So you're going to be able to see those updates. And it can use up to like seven gigabytes in a 10 hour period, or more depending on what your settings are. And if you have a really fast internet connection, you can kind of see where your graphics can really increase. So kind of seeing the combo of cloud with a with a dedicated graphics card, as an incredibly new concept that could if takes off can really quadruple the ability of video games to up their graphics fidelity very quickly. The problem with that is when that's on, it requires an internet connection. So you're kind of having to balance that out when it's coming from a graphical perspective, and being able to do that. But the limitless idea of being able to use cloud with this, and bringing on let's say your system's not up to par, maybe this is a way you can get up to ultra, when you may not have the components to do that maybe you have a mid range PC, and you add the cloud gaming, you're able to get an ultra at that point if you render it just a little bit. So I don't know exactly how that works from a technical perspective. But you can see like from a lighting perspective, maybe your internal lighting through a cloud gaming system, such as ray tracing, which takes an incredible amount of power to run. And you have to have the top line performance cards. And maybe we can just run it out through the cloud and use servers that are already out there. Now I'm sure there's a cost to developers, and being able to use this technology because you have to have the server's running, which renders that which can be a cost for the game. Now, it would probably be a game, it's going to have DLC and stuff like that, like flight simulators, probably eventually going to have new planes, and stuff like that, that people are willing to..

Are next-gen consoles just hype? What's up guys? Welcome back to next gen video game theory. Today we're going to talk about what exactly is going on is this hype really with worth it for next gen, it almost feels like there's not as much hype this time around. Because these days graphics don't tend to upgrade as much as they did in the past. So if you were to look at in 64, to the Dreamcast, that would have been a huge upgrade in graphics capabilities, and to the PS two, to the 64, a massive upgrade. So to kind of reach where this generation where they're, everything's anatomically correct. And it's kind of gotten to that point. So what do you improve upon you improve upon lightning, lightning in the world, and you also improve upon the vastness of the world, and then really touching up a lot of that closeness when it comes to that. So I think we're still going to see this upgrade, but it's more incremental, because it's harder to tell, with the graphics cards today, VR will be a big factor in that, and kind of using that further poll of the technology. But we haven't seen that on the level as of yet, that's really gonna get that buy in. So I'm hoping it does take off because then it's going to, it's going to cause that further push that we're used to seeing when it comes to video games, a lot of people think that, hey, games are just the same as they used to be. But VR, did push those limits. And that view that you have within virtual reality, I would consider is the next big upgrade that you see from a generational standpoint, versus HDS kind of been maxed out. It's kind of one of the technologies, what's the difference in 8k and 4k, besides the performance drop, okay, on your graphics card. So I think we really need to get away from just HD and there needs to be a new technology that rolls in its place that convinces you. So what I think even like 3d monitors that don't require a, they don't require a headset would be really neat. We haven't gotten there yet, kind of HD. And then maybe you have to have like multiple layers within that monitor of lighting to create that 3d effect, kind of like what the Nintendo 3ds did. But just on a better level of HD capability, that would definitely be something that would be catch a lot of people and pull them in, and also cause graphics cards, or really have to be pushed up to get the leaps and bounds. So I don't agree necessarily at the leaps and bounds theory, that there hasn't been improvement in graphics when you upgrade systems. It's just not true. Because VR was not possible in the previous systems. It wasn't like you could not run VR and Xbox 360, it would have died. Okay, this is similar to had the red ring of death than a few minutes, and it would have been over. So we got to take those factors into account when people say that, hey, there hasn't been a leap and bound upgrade the systems. Yeah, there has been, you just aren't on the platform, or the leaps and bounds have occurred, because there hasn't been as much buying into VR, which could change in the next generation if they make it 4k vr on these headsets. And I'm interested to see what PlayStation does with the next virtual reality headsets, as that can really cause a take off of this technology, which is going to cause a graphical leap to the extreme level, because it takes a tremendous amount of hardware to run virtual reality hardware. And from an HD perspective, like I said, this hasn't been there. I think we are going to see the hype increase as we get a little bit closer and we see some more games come out as a gets shown off. I'm really excited for cyberpunk. I think that's going to really push those limits from a graphical perspective. And cyberpunk has a really good graphics engine, they created the Witcher and that franchise and grew that franchise up. So we have a good developer working on that technology. The only problem is cyberpunk, it is a multi platform release. So it's gonna be really so current gen..

What will happen to indie games in the next generation of video games? Welcome back to next gen video game theory by Nick. Awesome. Glad to have you guys back to the podcast, please click subscribe if you have not already. And let's get started. So today we're just going to talk about indie games and kind of what happened here. Are they still the thing? And I think that's a good question to ask yourself, because if it's going to be the future of gaming, we have to know where indie games are going. We cannot doubt that it's easier to produce video games than it has been in the past at a higher graphics level, which is a good thing for indie games. So I think it just really comes down to is the Unity engine there to help indie developers is the Unreal Engine there to help indie developers, I'd like to see more support for these indie developers. So they can produce those 3d games. That's the future of gaming. And so we can continue to get innovation because a lot of triple A developers are scared to innovate. We got pub G, because people were willing to innovate in the indie game area. And PlayStation kind of started out this past generation ps4 with really trying to support the indie developers. And they brought in a lot of indie developers, because they didn't have a huge lineup when they first started the ps4 system, when it first launched, they really support those indie developers. And we kind of see that faded back to where we are nowadays, we're AAA seems to be the thing. And then as we end the the last part of our generation, we're starting to see some little bit of indie developers start to pick back up, I would assume this is just gonna pick right back up that next generation, and there's still going to be a lot of indies there that are going to be able to thrive in that market. And the reason is, anytime you have a new system, it's a new hardware, and there's not as many games. So that really opens the door as an opportunity for indie developers really to hone their craft with that new system early on, because they're a lot more flexible. And agile compared to those triple A developers, which spend years developing games, the indie developers have a smaller staff are able to really hone in on what they want to do from a gaming perspective. So I do think in these next couple of years, we're going to see indie developers continue to take off, these small mom and pop developers are really what drive innovation and gaming, and we have to make sure they are supported, and that it's easier than ever to create content for them, because and then they get paid. Because they really do need our support. That's why crowdfunding crowdfunding is so important. And the support of Microsoft, PlayStation, and even Nintendo, although Nintendo doesn't have as many indie developers, but they're naturally going to have more because their technologies older, it's probably easier to developer to develop on. So they're gonna have a little bit more innovation products, and they have a little bit more at international perspective as Nintendo when it comes to that. So as the generations continue to go on, I think at first we're gonna have an indie developer, then we're gonna hit that triple a period where indies aren't able to really fit into that mold, as much, so I want to see them, I want to see these guys because they continue to innovate the industry. So we're gonna have this because we need the innovation more than anything. And we want to support people who do love gaming, because we are all gamers. And what I would encourage you to do is if you want to see a future where indie developers are able to make it and thrive, you need to make sure you're supporting them, much like you would support anyone. Now in PC gaming, indie developers are very established, they are not going away. And a lot of that has to do with steam and their supportive indie developers. You have to have a support structure and a platform that supports these developers

Will gaming system be upgraded like iphones? Welcome back, guys. And as always, please click subscribe to the podcast where we talk about the future of gaming. So what I want to talk about today, guys is incremental counsel, or system upgrades throughout generations. And is this something that's going to take off like I did for iPhone, or like iPhone, one iPhone to iPhone three, etc. And just through incremental upgrades versus do an Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox, you know, go into where we are now. So when we look at is this going to happen to the next generation, I think it might happen once. So we have with PlayStation and the Xbox where the Xbox One X come out this past generation, then we also had the PlayStation get upgraded to the ps4 Pro. And that was kind of like just a small upgrade that gave you that extra power that was needed for what was coming out. I'm sure developers asked for it. But just from a marketing perspective, it just honestly made the most sense to be doing that. And why not? Why not upgrade if people are willing to buy the upgrade, why not upgrade. And I think it's good for gaming to have these incremental upgrades. I still like the idea of having a new system come out. But if it's cheaper to do incremental upgrades and say I don't want to upgrade one year, but the next year, I have the cash upgrade, then I do it. And that way you're able to keep more people came in kind of like iPhone, you could still play a couple generations back at the Games, it's on the App Store. Same thing with Google Play. And it keeps more people on the platform, which in the end, you want to have more people on the platform to buy the games. So if there's an entry level there or hindrance, you're going to have less people on your platform, which is going to end up hurting game sales. And the idea of having full commitment to one system I've heard people say, and I don't think that's just realistic, because these incremental upgrades are great. And are you really getting more bang for your buck through a new generation of systems that aren't upgraded throughout. Because what they're gonna do is they're gonna release a slim A few years later, we all know that they've done it for every generation. And that just seems like what goes on. When it comes to these systems, they release small compact systems after the release the main base system, they work out the bugs, and then they move on from there. So you definitely have an issue from a new technology perspective and working out the bugs. As we all know, we've heard the old red ring of death for the Xbox 360 days. And I remember I tried to return a system to the store. And Xbox, it was before they really knew about it, and Xbox wouldn't let me return it because I was like one of those new people. And eventually, luckily, I was able to get returned home after going through like a couple management people. So you're gonna have issues like that as a new adopter of any product. So just be aware of that. So when you buy psi, there could be issues, you buy a new Xbox, it could be issues, but they're going to work those bugs out, and they're going to refund your money if there is an issue normally, unless it's your fault, which I don't know what it would be in the new system. But I'm sure there's some type of area where it would be. So as we see these incremental upgrades like the iPhone, I kind of liked the idea of it because it provides a window to having that little extra graphics, if you want to maybe you don't care about 4k, well go a bit lower. Stuff like that, that just doesn't matter to you then why upgrade. But if it does matter to you, then you get the graphical up of that system. And it can extend the life of the system. But the issue that you have is you lose optimization every time you have different systems running. So if PlayStation as a pro, and an on PlayStation, you're losing that optimization, because you have to account for all the systems that are running on the...

Learn about virtual reality and the future of it. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the podcast, please click subscribe. It'd be awesome if you did. Alright, let's get started. Today we're going to talk about virtual reality and the effects it's going to have on gaming in the future. So virtual reality is going to require some high powered systems. In the last podcast, we talked about augmented reality and how that's going to help real life. Madden games occur in the middle of field and people are just going to be like jacked all the time playing these games. So everyone's going to be like be an NFL player, virtual reality, I think kind of could be the performance based system, we're going to see that's going to deliver the most realism and power of any system. And that's why virtual reality is such a great thing because it brings on the power of a GPU, a dedicated system, and a 360 view that can't be seen anywhere. Now, I don't think it's true 360 right now, but eventually will be that type of fidelity, when you see virtual reality, virtual reality does need to get some more buy in, it's not there yet. And we need to see that buying occur from triple A developers for this technology to really take off. When Facebook bought Oculus that sent a message to the world that virtual reality was here to stay. And you had seen other game believe and try to get on the action and the neogeo. And all that taken back in the early 90s. Taking virtual reality and putting those headsets on but it just wasn't what it is today. And that is for sure. Because they didn't have the technology. But nowadays, we do have a technology, we have the computer systems to implement it. And I would say within five years, you're going to have just flawless virtual reality, that's going to really look great. from just a graphical perspective. Now we've seen PlayStation get on this action. We haven't seen a lot of other companies take this off. Besides the PC market. Well, there's a couple companies like HTC had their own. And then Oculus, which is bought by Facebook. So Facebook is really all in. When it comes to virtual reality. We even saw Samsung get on that action here, we're kind of producing a type of VR that you plug into your phone you put on your face, there's even some companies where you just go and you play top of the line virtual reality and you spend a day there playing virtual reality games. And that's, that's really that amusement park, I can see that taking off, it's going to take selling that atmosphere to people to cause people to want to go play virtual reality somewhere. But once you have an interconnected network of people who really enjoy it, who want to play together who want to see each other, I think you can have businesses built around the virtual reality concepts, especially if you add in haptic feedback, and stuff that normal people cannot afford. And you have an entire business built around this. It'd be a fun place to go to eat pizza, maybe have a few drinks, and play with your friends on a really high powered system for virtual reality. And if they can implement exercise virtual reality, I think that would take off too. I do think the systems have to get a lot smaller to take on the type of exercise that we're talking about here. We are not there yet. When it comes to those systems but exercise and virtual reality can you see like a boxing match and VR and beyond a punch, punch and kick and kick box and see if you can win the match. I would play that all day long. Like if you develop a good fighting game, put me in Street Fighter put me on Mortal Kombat and I would be so hooked to virtual reality that it won't even matter like I would be exercising all day long playing those games. Do that. And it would just be seriously virtual reality, Street Fighter type stuff, and you can really get in shape from kickboxing. And if you have something that motivates you to take on that extra

See why augmented reality is the future of gaming. Can you imagine playing madden in real life! Welcome back to next gen video game theory by Nick. Awesome. Please click subscribe if you have not. Today we're gonna talk about augmented reality and how that's going to really change the gaming industry, it's going to be a huge leap forward, because Can you imagine going out there playing some Pokemon Go, and it looks real. And it's not just through your phone, it's through like, glasses that you're wearing. Like the sunglasses and they augment reality, and the Pokemon are right there right in front of you. That would be such a huge hit, it would take off. And I think we're really talking so far into the future right now, because I can't, you could maybe do this, but I feel like the classes might just explode at this point in time. So we really have to see this technology, when it comes to CPC use and being on film and video cards to be able to fit them into a small space like sunglasses to get true augmented reality that can ultimately change the entire industry. But if you could have such a awesome thing like that, and what if they were able to do for instance, if they were able to take that on and get a really good augmented reality system going, can you imagine like Call of Duty and a field and you go out there and you play. And you can see the scores and stuff like that, that would just be such a new thing. And you would also be getting some exercise with your little sunglasses on in the augmented reality world. And you could play like computer players during that time, and they would come at you and try to take you down and you have to be able to adapt to that. So you could see people like running around, and then the real police trying to chase you down because they think you have a because you're running around acting crazy in the middle of a park. This is the future my friends. And there's going to be a lot of change because of augmented reality, and being able to put your glasses on, I won't even go into like the social media aspects of it, and how you can wear glasses and meet people that way and see their Facebook profile through augmented reality. That to me just sounds absolutes, scariness right there. Do not like that idea. But I do like the gaming options, and adding that augmented reality element to games. And just being able to go around, I think there's a few games that use augmented reality, like Pokemon Gold, there's even a Harry Potter game out there that uses it. And there's so many different options that you could use for this, that, if it's done correctly, will be a game changer. You could even make a Minecraft world. Within the world where you're putting blocks together, you're stacking blocks, you're building buildings. And it could be a 3d world just built with on top of a layer of our world that we live in through augmented reality when you put those sunglasses on, eventually augmented reality, it gets so good that those sunglasses you put on could be like a VR headset to so you could flip between the two and have even a more crazy gaming experience. But that's way into the future of video games, but would be a very innovative technology that would grow in popularity, and likely be what the future of gaming is kind of like how smartphones and gaming took off for I don't know if it really catch the crowd of hardcore gamers. But it definitely would catch the crowd of gamers who are not as hardcore. And I don't know, I think AR can eventually pass from a gimmick to being one of the main technologies from mobile standpoint, there's a lot you can do there, especially if the you have HD AR technologies that take off there. And it's very uncommon at this time, but it is a future technology that will have a tremendous impact on the gaming industry. Because we've seen Pokemon Go work so well you can imagine AR Pokemon Go and going to catch them all throughout your town and not even having to take your phone..

We go over the gaming systems and if it really matters to have power? What's up everyone? Welcome back to the to the podcast today. As always, please click subscribe. It's much appreciated. And if you can't please rate me, I think on Apple podcasts, you can rate me there. So today we're just going to talk about how does powerful gaming systems matter? Does it really matter from that perspective, and is the future going to be powerful gaming systems. And I think that's a really interesting topic when you think about it, because you see the systems like the Nintendo Switch, which have decided not to use the power at hand per se. And I think that's a interesting thing, because they've always kind of lagged behind whether it was the Nintendo WI, and then moving on to the next version of that and going to the Nintendo Switch, you did notice that it really did not have improvement. Now, they've always been able to put kind of like this small form factor in where you had the portability, which was always always been really, kind of a neat concept when it comes to gaming is they've kind of taken the portability approach where they no longer produces Gameboy colors, Gameboy advances, the 3ds and all those different technologies, they went ahead and decide to put portability, and also have the plug in docking station into the TV, which has worked very well for Nintendo just from that aspect and giving them that ability to really bring their gaming systems into innovation. Because they've lagged about a generation behind on the technology they're able to focus on, hey, what can I improve here that maybe a lot of companies are not doing. And that has just been phenomenal for them from the switch being at a dock that out, undock that the joy pads, having the detachable joysticks, and then allowing multiplayer through that approach for, for instance, Mario Kart really did that? Well, then Zelda had some innovation, when it came to gameplay and being able to use the different features of that controller slash screen to allow you to do that, and also having the maps on the little controller when you have it on the TV and stuff like that. So that's stuff that has improved the Nintendo Switch tremendously, and really allowed the marketability of that system. So I'm kind of curious what Nintendo is going to do in the future, because they don't have the most powerful system, they've never gone down that road, I think for sure, they're gonna have a lot of HD capability that run natively at 1080 P, no problem, for sure. With this next generation, the question you're going to have is it going to be portable. And I think they'll still go to that portable route, I don't see why they wouldn't. But I would assume they're just going to lag a little bit behind see what's going to happen with the Xbox and the PS five, and go from there, I don't think they're going to jump the gun necessarily, and take on those two systems. So they're going to let that kind of blow over which is going to give them an opportunity to really focus on what kind of hardware do they want to make, and then their launch systems, I can definitely see a Zelda coming into play. Here you have your new Mario Kart, of course, that's given. And using those the travel feature as a major selling point for the system. For instance, being able to play Skyrim on a portable system was such a neat concept. When that first came out, and they've really done a good job of being able to integrate like games, you wouldn't think I'd be able to run outer worlds. For instance, the game I never thought would be able to run a Nintendo Switch is they got a port over there. So they've been doing a really good job of supporting, which was one of their fallouts with the Wii is they weren't able to port a lot of those over and nowadays, they're able to do that. And that's really been highly beneficial for Nintendo to have that ability to get some of those t

Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast today. So I just want to talk about headsets and like, how did they do they really make a difference? And I think that's a good, a good question to ask yourself, like, do you really need a headset to play competitive? I think you do. And the reason I say that is you want to be able to have a 7.1 surround sound system headset that can let you hear the footsteps of enemies while they come at you on the gaming world in the competitive space. And that's going to kind of give you that extra advantage. So if you're playing someone who maybe doesn't have that, and then maybe have just a two speaker system, they're going to feel a lot less ability to be able to take on what they need to take on. So if you're able to hear someone walk into a room, you're gonna get the jump on them, basically. And that's going to help you out from a competitive perspective. So just be kind of aware that when you're playing Call of Duty, and that will help you out. Now, if you have a headset, that is a piece of crap, that doesn't work as one speaker, you're also going to feel kind of stuck in those moments. And yeah, so if you have a mono system is what they used to call it back in the day of like Sega Genesis, and all that other stuff. So you just want to be aware of how you're playing Call of Duty, because it does matter in that aspect. So if you're playing Call of Duty, or you're playing another game, you got to have a good headset, it's decent. There's a lot of options out there, I think the main thing is that you find like a 7.1 surround sound system that can assist you with that ability to take on heavy level Call of Duty, or Halo or any of those other games, it because if you can hear the enemy, you're going to have that much more success when you're playing a game like that, and it's just gonna help you out a lot more. And in the end isn't that the goal is you want to be as competitive as possible. Now I know people a lot of times will like listen to podcasts or listen to audiobooks while they play. And that's definitely an awesome option when it comes to playing video games. Because you're able to have fun while you are playing a game. It's just, you know, it's it's kind of like the grind, some throwing your favorite podcast or something to help you through the grind. And maybe you're not fully actively involved. But you are able to level up your character, which who doesn't want to do that. Especially if you've kind of got the system down of how to play that game. Maybe just throw the headset off and play that way with some audio in the background. That can be very helpful when it comes to gaming. So lots of good options there a lot of good stuff. But your headset does matter if you're really competitive. If you want to take it to the next level. There's plenty of them out there. Just make sure you're shopping on the good old. Whatever your favorite shopping services was Amazon eBay, you could probably find a good deal on eBay. I wouldn't recommend like buying a headset used because sometimes you get like a smelly headset that someone was wearing. And yeah, do you really want all that sweat nastiness that they had when they were competitively playing Call of Duty? I said? I don't think so people. So you just want to be like really smart. That's why I don't recommend buying used headsets? Because it doesn't feel good about us headset because it stinks. And yeah. So yeah, don't buy us jet set on eBay. If you want to have a happy life. Now outside of that just buy it new, find a good one don't have to buy most expensive one unless like you're on a you're like on an Xbox or ps4 and you're totally like bought into that. One thing that's kind of going to change I don't think like the PS five, I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure the PS five is going to make you buy a completely new headset, which is Yeah, not cool at all. So that's just like something that they need a really kind of be nice about. Because you go..
