A Tech Affair episode 193: PS5 Pro, Nvidia AI, "3 Body Problem", "Dragon's Dogma 2"
Does the PS5 Pro justify a console upgrade? Will Nvidia's AI chips revolutionise conversations in games? Is "3 Body Problem" the new "Black Mirror"? And we celebrate open world galore with "Dragon's or "Rise of the Ronin".
The Playstation 5 Pro Pro is due to be released at the end of the year. New leaks provide concrete information on what we can expect. But will the upgrade be good enough? Nvidia has unveiled the latest generation of AI accelerators. It should be revolutionary. The AI chatbots in games presented by Ubisoft and Nvidia could also be groundbreaking in the future. The question is: do we even want to talk to our games?
Disney has released the first trailer for the upcoming "Star Wars" series "The Acolyte". Luca is pumped, the rest of us are still hesitating with anticipation.
On the other hand, we're getting caught up in the hype with "3 Body Problem". The latest Netflix series promises dark end-time fare with a dash of sci-fi.
"Dragon's Dogma 2" is set entirely in the fantasy world. The open-world role-playing game delights with talkative minions and wonderfully chaotic action. The latter also takes centre stage in "Rise of the Ronin". In 19th century Japan, a civil war is imminent and heads are rolling - literally. Princess Peach Showtime" is more child-friendly. For once, she is the star and not Mario. With different outfits, Peach fights against theatre thieves, sometimes as a ninja, sometimes as a cowgirl.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
