Game & Gadget Podcast #35 – Retro Vs Modern Gaming, Subscriptions Galore & More…

I am joined by Tony Warriner who is one of the founders of Revolution Software as we discuss more gaming, gadgets and technology both retro and modern.

Topics include:

• James hunting for a SEGA Genesis in the USA
• Broken Sword Reforged Kickstarter blasts through £50,000 target to over half a million!
• Broken Sword 2 remastered?
• Did Tony from Revolution Software realise Broken Sword on its original release would be so popular?
• The design differences between Lure of the Temptress, Beneath a Steel Sky & Broken Sword
• Balancing PC minimum spec and recommended levels in development of games
• Sony PlayStation 5 Pro details leaked splitting the PS5 target specs
• Triple AAA titles and layoffs in the industry
• Netflix, Disney Plus etc and how we are cancelling subscriptions due to raising prices
• The needless pain of grinding in a game to progress
• Match 3 games and the lightning energy nonsense
• Apple EU App Stores
• Tony’s first article on Pixel Refresh, Beneath A Steel Sky Sets as Broken Sword Dawns – Revolution Book Preview
• James’ article on Pixel Refresh, CRT TV for Retro Gaming – The Beauty, Buying, Repair & Despair

• YouTube Premium, if only they would separate YouTube Music
• Apple Music for lossless, even on Android
• Where is Spotify HiFi lossless audio??? Literally years since the original announcement
• WearOS versus Tizen on smartwatches

NOTE: Tony or I lost connection at the very end, so the conversation goes a little odd as we wonder where the other person went :) Luckily the software locally records so Tony continued recording!
