Episode notes

I think the value of games media is on a few fronts. There's certainly a curation aspect to it, but even more important now, as we are, there are fewer and fewer of these publications. And I think what we're seeing right now and we're going to see even more of is just, there's more competition than ever before. But like overall, I'm optimistic. Like it's a place that I still enjoy working in.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is an exceptionally beautiful, technologically modern video game built with a blueprint from a different era. The Resties discuss the comfort and frustration of Xbox 360-era video game design, the power of graphics, and what makes a great tutorial. Then they empty out the remainder of the mailbag, talking about the future of games, media, and games media. Discussed on this episode: A Plague Tale: Requiem, No Man's Sky, The Invisible Man, House of the Dragon.
