The GamesIndustry.biz Podcast: Getting Lucky on Xbox One X, with Playful's Paul Bettner
We discuss cutesy platformers and virtual reality on the newest episode of our podcast
The latest episode of The GamesIndustry.biz Podcast is available to download now, where we're joined by Playful CEO Paul Bettner to discuss his studio's forthcoming release - colourful platformer Super Lucky's Tale - and more.
During the episode, we talk about the potential for family-friendly titles on the traditionally hardcore Xbox One, how less realistic art styles might benefit from the power of Xbox One X and the leap from VR to standard 3D gaming for Playful's Lucky franchise.
We also touch upon recent pessimism surrounding virtual reality, why Playful isn't about to give up on the technology, and how it hopes to break new ground for VR with its upcoming adventure Star Child.
