TMG Podcast #197 - Doom Resident Eternal
/ Carlos Hernandez
Episode 197. Three more episodes until episode 200. How time flies and we honestly don't know what to do when we reach this milestone, but it's safe to say a weekly schedule is definitely possible, so get ready as we got something to say each week!
But enough of that, this episode focuses on the latest details on the PS5 thanks to a detailed presentation by Mark Cerny, the PS5 lead system architect at PlayStation. Then, we talk about Doom Eternal, the latest entry in the Doom franchise. Towards the end, the crew share their thoughts on the Resident Evil 3 demo, now out on consoles and PC. It's a great demo to get a feel of what you can expect when the game comes out on April 3, but it also got us excited about the possibilities of remakes being the new trend in the next generation.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a mixed bag, with some genuinely likeable characters and engaging story arcs, alongside others that fall flat. You then have a final act that had me banging my head against the wall. Still, its satisfying combat system, strong party synergy, and striking visual style make it an enjoyable JRPG overall.
