Summary
EGP 323 kicks off diving into some quirky hardware and game talk. First up: a solar-powered laptop that sounds cool until you remember some gamers live nowhere near sunlight. From there, things get slightly depressing with the shutdown of the Until Dawn Remake studio, another reminder that the industry giveth and taketh away. Hardware talk heats up with debates over 240Hz vs. 1000Hz monitors (because apparently we all want to play games that look like potatoes at warp speed). On the console side, rumors around PS6 vs. Xbox Project Helix spark a big discussion about hybrid PC-console futures. The crew also reacts to showcase game trailers like Ready or Not, Atmosfar, Ritual Tides, and Hello Sunshine, ranging from “this looks interesting” to “we need actual gameplay, please.” As always: opinions, sarcasm, tangents and just plain fun. discord.gg/extremegamingpodcast (Extreme Hollywood Podcast lives here too)
