ShockCast Ep. 163 - "Next-Gen*"
Watch the video version here (http://buff.ly/1gCuYVh)
We’ve spent a lot of time debating some of the more major aspects of the next generation of video games here on the ShockCast. Tonight however, we’re going to spend some time talking about what the term “next-gen” actually means. Everyone seems to have their own definition despite the term being thrown around haphazardly enough.
And with that, what of the games that are released alongside the start of a new generation? What do IPs need to do to establish themselves in a climate that is very different from that of the 90s and early 2000s. How does a game like Watch_Dogs establish its relevance and how does Mario maintain his relevance?
As usual, we’ll also be discussing some big news regarding Xbox One and PS4, Titanfall, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III, Halo 5, Doom, and others.
This week David Rodriguez was joined by Dianna Lora (Community Manager), Jorge Jimenez (Staff Writer), Ryan Meitzler (Staff Writer), and Tony Polanco (Staff Writer). Many thanks to @elblanconino for our custom intro and outro.
