BYFY.game The Podcast

What to expect at the Spring Events from Apple and Microsoft

Apple Spring Event

• On March 23 Apple will hold it's Spring Event - It’s not officially confirmed
• Will be another of these High Value Produced Online Events
• My guess what will be shown at the Event in the order I think that that has the most possibility:
• Release of iOS 14.5
• AirTags
• New AirPods3
• New iPadPro
• New iPad 9th-Gen
• New iPad Mini
• New AppleTV
• iPhone MagSafe Battery
• M1X MacMini
• New iMac

Microsoft Spring Event

• many rumours talk about an event on 23 of March
• this has to be taken with a big sceptics, because officials of MS have denied this
• why do I think that something will happen?
• Elden Ring trailer leak - would be the major burner if it’s MS Exclusive
• Halo infinite update - this made so big improvements since the disappointing Trailer at the release of Series SX - 343 studio promised monthly updates - MS gave them all the time they need to craft the best Halo
• Bethesda is acquired by MS - does this mean that B is only developing exclusively for MS? At least until now the games that have already been announced for PS5 are coming to Sony’s console. Deathloop - MS talked about releasing all the games for all platforms which support GamePass.
• GamePass - does the announcement mean that it will come to PlayStation?

Gaming things

1

• Apple Arcade - Fantasian - Hironobu Sakaguchi the creator of the legendary final fantasy series is the creative head behind this classic RPG
• two things make this look outstanding - over 150 handmade dioramas where crafted and then digitalised and then the 3D characters are put in - you can always avoid or better postpone the encounters - this means that you can send your enemies to a dungeon in a separate dimension and encounter them in a row I think. Then call it the Dimengeon mechanic
• story - you awake with only one memory left in a machine ruled multi dimensional world. And now you’re sent out to reclaim your memories and to investigate the mysterious mechanical infestation
• I will definitely try this game out and tell you what I think about it

2

• Shadow of the Tomb Raider - I love the environmental riddles - hate the combat

• Children of Morta - You play as one of six members of the Bergson family and fight your way through three random generated dungeons to cure the disease named corruption. You’re kind of forced to switch between the characters, because after going trough the dungeons they get exhausted. But there is an object to heal the exhausted character instantly. Characters have a very unique playstile - Swordsman, Bowhunter, Firekid, KungFuGuy, scissors boy, and two others that I haven’t activated yet. Conclusion: very addictive gameplay because of the 15 to 30 Minute chunks on Run takes, colorful and nice 16bit graphics, I have to come to an end, I have played it too many hours.

• looking for:

• Narita Boy - a 16 bit looking game that takes it self not so serious. It’s story is about the game Narita Boy on the console Narita one, wich is the most anticipated game of the 80s and sold out. You play as Narita boy who fights his way through the colourful world. My guess is that you’re not only playing the game, but that it’s becoming a mixture of reality and game

• what’s up next:
• explore how to make it possible to record let’s plays
• cyberpunk round trip - one hour in my city
• idea to speed run Resident Evil remake - BUT I have to check if I can play it because of the old tank controls
