Story x Story #169: Romantic Roundtable For Four (Video Games)

It's our first video game roundtable of 2024! This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome brand new guests to the podcast to talk about the games we’ve been playing and the outlook for the three main platform holders over the year (starting at 30:31). Content Creators Atari and Mini Midas both bring their perspective to what has already been a busy start to the news cycle, as we debate Microsoft’s apparent multiplatform strategy, the relentless move to games as a service model, and how video game publishers may have lost the romance and mystery when it comes to promoting games to their audience. Games we’re enjoying (or not): Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Dinkum, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Tekken 8, Apex Legends, Lies of P, Ratchet and Clank, (reluctantly) Palworld, Call of Duty Mobile, Nintendo Game Garage Builder, Dreams, GameMaker, Gears of War 4, Hi-Fi Rush, Rollerdrome, Mario Wonder, Spider-Man 2, Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
