HorsePLAY! EP111 - Beyond Better Graphics Innovation - With Esgee Of R9Cast

HURRY! GOG.com has an encore Winter Sale going on #RIGHTMEOW! Save up to 80% OF on DRM-FREE games for PC!!! Esgee of R9Cast, one of the best-produced podcasts/shows out there, joins us. It's a GeekyAntics-AllGames crossover! We look at gaming tech fads like VR, AR, 4K, framerates, etc and wonder why we aren't seeing real innovation? Where are the new experiences and performance optimizations? Our point: hardware is moving faster than the software. It used to be that it was the other way around and games used to be judged by their uniqueness and how FUN they were.. Not merely how "visually striking" they are. Also, why aren't gaming consoles more open like PC? We need more content and diversity.. Cross-platform should be a given by now, right? We look at modern and retro games that we feel have a real impact and could inspire some great ideas in the future. On SEGA Saturn: Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Dragon Force make the cut.. So far! Lots of SEGA love with Esgee and Yogizilla, y0, because they took risks and put their stamp on unique titles. Other games pushing the industry forward: Tom Clancy's The Division, The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing, Heroes Of The Storm, Scrolls, Speedrunners, Mass Effect, and MORE! We'll be back with more prospectives and contemplations of where we hope the video game industry will be heading!
