Episode 2 - Thanks, We Hate It: The Future Of Gaming Is Mobile
Send us a text
To gain clues about the future, it's helpful to look at the past. But if the dominance of mobile, digital, and free-to-play video games in 2021 is anything to go by, the future of video games may be unrecognizable to those of us who grew up blowing into our NES cartridges. But is it all bleak, or can we find some ray of gaming hope in the face of these dark, dystopian days?
We'll also be discussing PlayStation's newly patented system for coaching players who have "fallen below a skill threshold," how Square Enix's president already knows you hate NFTs, Ed Boon's blessing on a petition to remake the original Mortal Kombat trilogy, and the wrestler who owns 2,706 copies of the Burger King game Sneak King.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking back at the legacy of the game design giant, Gunpei Yokoi.
