a few skins and a WB water tower map were shown off for multiversus today my favourite skin is banana guards I’m probably going to replace the banana in my profile picture when they release that skins render

WB water tower stage

I get the feeling this would have sold better as a console game because of how many Disney rpgs are on phones

These price increases make every subscription services less and less appealing to me. They are in complete control, sooner or later the subscription will change in price or features and will not fit your needs. I will use gamepass as before, as an occasional way to try new games. What I really dislike is the fact that cloud gaming is not used to let us try games before buying them. At least Steam has a 2 hour refund policy. On consoles, once you download 1 bit of the game you could not try in any way, there is no way to get a refund.
I would like to see the Game Pass Discover edition where you can try any game for
a limited time. What’s the problem, publishers and devs?

Nintendo, on twitter, out of nowhere this morning, posts “Who is Emio?” along with a link to this tiny teaser trailer for… something. An M-rated horror-looking game.

And… so far this seems to be a first-party promo? Are we actually getting an M-rated Nintendo horror game in 2024?? :exploding_head:

Sean Murray tweeted some Globe emojis recently. I assumed it was related to their next “One Procedural Planet” game, but no. Still! More! No Mans Sky additions!

I still gotta try this in VR, I’m sure the OLED really makes planets POP! :hugs:


IGN showing off a typical Ubisoft fetch quest.

This game so far has looked pretty enticing in official showcases, but this one was kinda ehhh…
Im also worried with how often they end up cutting out the “travel” sequences between locations. Like, is there just nothing interesting between Tattooine locations? No trinkets to find or random encounters to stumble on?

That’s… hmm… :neutral_face:
I feel like some of the outrage against Yasuke for this game are a little overblown. Ubi didn’t need to issue a statement about this.

People want to play as an Asian protagonist? There is a second playable character.
People want to play as a MALE Asian Protagonist? There are tons of other games that feature Male Asian Protagonists, also depicted as samurai or ninjas.

Feels like a really weird case of racism (and maybe a bit of sexism) they’re getting so much flack for including this real historical figure in their fictionally historical game series.
I wasn’t aware of the series at the time, but I haven’t heard of any major outrage for a fist fight between The Pope and an Italian Assassin for a sci-fi golden apple for AC2. People actually like how fictionally weird that gets!

(Honestly what they should receive flack for is adding a Hip Hop trap beat to Yasuke’s combat theme as seen in the recent gameplay trailer. That’s really weird for a game set in Japan with a character who is not African American IMO :sweat_smile:)

This whole story reminds me of this meme

And maybe Ubi should do themselves a favor and just say that they don’t try to be historical accurate whenever they release a new AC game because some people out there just get the memo.

It’s Japan, what did you expect. I imagine most Asian countries are like that.

While he was a real person, it’s still debatable if Yasuke was a legit ninja or not but for a fictional game, who cares?

Did Afro Samurai ever got this kind of attention? Nvm, seems China wasn’t happy about it.
