Episode 04: Preparing for Next Gen Gaming

Michael McGinnis and Sharla-Rose Rogic return to the podcast after a busy week of vet visits and care with their cat and testing out special audio in the new Apple Airpods Pro ready to talk about Hardware and what should and could be needed in preparation for next gen gaming. We cover the topic of consoles vs pc and the need for TVs with HDMI 2.1 and all the features it has. Michael also adds some recommendations for TVs that support great gaming. And we also quickly cover the topic of sound and which systems we think are best for different circumstances and which we use the most.

The POTLUCK topic brought to the show by Sharla this week is all about Quality VS Quantity in large open-world games as well as the fatigue that we can feel from those games and how the hours exploring may not feel rewarding.

News this week includes the changes to trophies on PlayStation and the video released by PlayStation about the teardown of the new console (the sides can be taken off!), more information released about Hyrule Warriors and Pikman 3 Deluxe from Nintendo, the delay and shortages of graphics cards, AMD event and prices for processors and notable phone news and releases including prices.

Michael covers the notable new releases and updates for games, while Sharla covers the new releases for TV and films on streaming services as well as covering a massive news week for entertainment – with updates and rumours for the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 film, Warner Bros and DC delaying the releases of all upcoming films including Dune, plus a release date for The Matrix 4, new trailers and the highly-anticipated Resident Evil live-action movie that has been confirmed and has a notable cast.
