Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about developing games across the generations of consoles, and the various issues with how older generations have hung on.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
The Topic
What goes into making a game across console generations? Why are games still being made for the PS4 this many years into the new generation? What would the next generation of consoles even look like? Where can anyone get a Switch 2 dev kit?
The Actual Discussion
Honestly, we get pretty off topic in this one, but it’s still a good discussion. We talk a lot about the Switch 2 and why it’s been so successful despite what seems like so much working against it. We also talk about how few games most gamers actually buy in a year, and what that could mean for the next generation of consoles. Plus, we wonder how one even makes sure that everything runs on all the different kinds of PC out there.
