In this exciting episode of the Game Deflators podcast, John and Ryan dive into the official release of Pokémon TCG Pocket's new expansion, Space-Time Smackdown. With over 140 new cards to collect, including fan favorites like Dialga and Palkia, they'll discuss how this new set aims to invigorate the game and its community. They'll also talk about the new trading feature that comes with this update.
Next, our hosts examine the latest GDC survey results, revealing that a third of AAA developers are working on live service games. They'll unpack the data to discuss what this means for the industry, why not all developers are on board, and the potential risks and rewards of live service models.
Finally, John and Ryan will review Starcraft 64, the N64 port of the iconic strategy game. They'll explore its unique qualities, the challenges of adapting a PC game for console, and whether it holds up against its original counterpart.
