XDefiant is almost here... is your system ready? Let's check the specs!

If you're not familiar with the upcoming free to play 6v6 shooter... let's break it down a bit, AFTER this trailer (and then we'll get into the specs):

XDefiant is a free-to-play, first-person arena shooter developed by Ubisoft San Francisco. In this fast-paced online game, you compete for the W in 6v6 matches. The gameplay is reminiscent of Call of Duty multiplayer action, which some have even called the COD killer, and it features playable character classes from various factions across Ubisoft franchises. While I won't call it the COD killer, it will certainly pull gamers in Ubisoft's direction. And don't get it twisted if you aren't familiar with Ubisoft shooters, the publisher is far from being a noob to all this (hence the mention of factions from different Ubisoft Franchises). This game basically serves up a crazy cross over shooter that reminds me of... Ghost Recon Wildlands, but and all the features it had, but who knows what future factions will be in this FPS game?

I'm definitely intereested in giving it a whirl, and my fingers are crossed that it's packed with fun factor, it's not a hacker's paradise, and bugs are at a minimum. You can play XDefiant on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The release date is set for May 21, 2024

Are you ready for... Star Wars Outlaws?

Have you seen the trailer for Star Wars Outlaws? It's one of those games that I'm waiting for with bated breath. And as a lover of open-world adventures done right, the idea of exploring the Star Wars universe in a way its supposed to be set up is giving me goosebumps (fingers crossed). Blu is still hopeful for a co-op adventure with Star Wars Bad Batch, but perhaps that's next up. Anyway, check out the trailer for Star Wars Outlaws:

Now, let's talk editions. They have your standard version, of course, but you also have the limited and gold editions. The Limited Edition comes with the Rogue Infiltrator Character Pack, which includes ultra-cool cosmetic items for Kay and Nix. And the Gold Edition? It gets you access up to three days early, as well as the base game and the season pass. It better have some damn good stuff for the $109.99 price tag. This is something that hung up some gamers, while others are on something else right now because the main character is a woman. The previous Star Wars game featured a man, but something tells me everythings going to be just fine.

Get ready to explore a galaxy far far away that's full of opportunity. Dive into bustling cities and cantinas, and race across sprawling outdoor landscapes on your speeder. Each location holds new adventures, exciting challenges, and rewards that are totally tempting, if you're willing to take the risk.

You get to experience a totally original scoundrel story, living that high-stakes outlaw lifestyle. With Nix by your side, there's nothing you can't turn to your advantage. Fight with your blaster, outsmart your enemies with gadgets and stealth, or use the right moments to distract your attackers and take the upper hand.

Take on those high-risk, high-reward tasks from the galaxy's most notorious crime syndicates. Steal precious goods, infiltrate top-secret locations, and outwit your enemies, all while becoming the galaxy's most wanted. Every choice you make changes your ever-evolving reputation.

Are you ready to take to the stars? Buckle up and get behind the pilot seat of the Trailblazer, because we're about to engage in thrilling dogfights with the Empire and other foes. Chase, evade, and attack your enemies to get the upper hand.

So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendars for August 30th, 2024, and get ready to jump aboard Star Wars Outlaws when it lands on PC, Playstation, and Xbox!

Beyond Good & Evil 2's Creative Director Emile Morel Dies At 40!

The video game industry lost a great talent with the passing of Emile Morel, the creative director of Beyond Good & Evil 2. Morel was only 40 years old when he passed away, leaving behind a legacy of creativity and innovation that will be sorely missed.

Morel was a visionary in the gaming industry, known for his ability to think outside the box and create truly unique experiences for players. He was instrumental in the development of Beyond Good & Evil 2, a highly anticipated sequel to the 2003 cult classic that has been in development for years.

Morel's passing is a reminder of the importance of appreciating life and the people around us. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind and forget to take a step back and appreciate the moments we have with our loved ones.

As gamers, it's also important to take a moment to appreciate the creativity and passion that goes into the games we play. Behind every great game is a team of talented individuals who pour their hearts and souls into bringing their vision to life for our delight. Great games go down in history and have lifelong fans.

Morel's legacy will live on through the games he helped create and the impact he had on the industry as a whole. His passing is a reminder to cherish our time on this earth and to never take the people and experiences in our lives for granted. So consider navigating through this thing called life a little better.

In honor of Morel, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty and joy that video games bring to our lives. 

Let's celebrate the creativity and innovation of those who work tirelessly to bring these games to fruition.

E3 2023 Canceled... but does it matter anymore?

E3... E3, if you haven't heard by now, it's canceled... again! Does it matter though?

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) didn't have to let it go this route, they could have... and technically still could do a digital presentation (but they aren't). Did they wait to the point that people are now shrugging off the legendary Superbowl of video game events? I believe so.

Waiting around wasn't going to present them to emerging audiences, and more adults are hanging up their headsets more often because of time constraints (although we're challenging some to just try different games). Those who may have wanted to see them come back, they've begun enjoying other video game presentations. 

Is it all on them? Not at all, when you consider major publishers like Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Tencent reportedly withdrawing, but... you don't back down if E3 is something you want to happen. You double down, and fill those freaking slots!

Again, E3 could have gone digital this year, and these companies aren't the only ones around (duh of the day), but the ESA has to be willing to stand with Indie and other lesser-known companies. Look at Devolver Digital, I salute them because they aren't just crossing their fingers during the traditional game expo window, they're going in with a middle finger up + all their craziness. The ESA can learn a thing or two from them. 

I'm also disappointed because it's another year that opportunities are stripped from those who could've worked the event or done the work to deliver a digital showcase. It also is one less place where other developers and publishers were able to get shine. I don't know what they'll do for the sake of bouncing back, but if it gives the ESA solace... no one that's interested in game expos will just turn away E3.

EA had merger talks with Amazon, Apple, Disney, and NBCUniversal?!

The merger of EA and NBCUniversal might have been a huge discussion in the gaming industry. Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson had negotiations with NBCUniversal CEO Brian Roberts to combine their companies together, however, no conclusion was made about this deal.

A report that EA also had discussions with Amazon, Apple, and Disney was also in the recent past. The timeline was not stated except for Disney where they were said to have been held as recently as March of this year.

However, the discussion between NBCUniversal ultimately fell through in the last month because of a lack of approval over price and structure, having talked to four close sources about the matter.

After weeks of negotiations, the merger between these two companies would have seen NBCUniversal take most control of the newly formed entity, which is headed up by Andrew Wilson.

EA has not commented on the speculation associated, while Apple, Amazon, and Disney refused to give comments.

The persistent pursuit of a sale has been the theme in recent years of EA, but why?

Lastly, Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot has debunked the reported news of his company being for sale. In an earnings call following their FY2022 financial results, he said they intend to remain independent. As long as the developers don't end up in the wrong has to limit our platform options and quality, then there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
