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

  • Apple Music for lossless, even on Android
  • Where is Spotify HiFi lossless audio??? Literally years since the original announcement
