Episode 4 - Video Games Do What The Metaverse Don't
Send us a text
The metaverse is being touted as the do-all, be-all platform of the future where we will work, play, live, and get married. There's only one problem -- video games have already been offering all of that for years. So what's left for the metaverse to give us? Or better yet, do we really need a metaverse at all?
We're also discussing the new Sega Sapporo studio led by the former Phantasy Star Online 2 producer, how Xbox's Phil Spencer is calling for a cross-platform ban program, why Take-Two wants to pay nearly $13 billion for Zynga (the maker of FarmVille), and the Bob Saget video game you didn't know you needed in your life.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking back at the strange hybrid console known as the Nintendo Playstation.
