Okay, UbiSoft is doing a "forward" thing today.

Preshow- strong rumors from Edgar Wright and Brian Lee O'Malley about something Scott Pilgrim related. The brawler game has long been MIA, so possible return?

* For The Division- a 100 level tower climb mode "The Summit" and a "Nightmare" mode for winter. And both new consoles will support it

*First up in the show -Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Ubi's little god brawler. Dec 3rd. Looks like a cross between Far Cry, Borderlands and God of War. Stadia users get a unique demo

*Sand? Gasp! Can it be? Oh. Prince of Persia Sands of Time remake. Not a new one. So close yet so far away. Jan 21. And it's being imbued with the spirit of India? Because India is the Middle East?!? Oh, Ubi. What are you doing? Same voice actors as the original, BTW

*Hyperscape- Ubi's BR game.

*Rainbow Six gets a World Cup. Country teams face off. Oh, and Sam Fisher's in it now. Yeah, don't give him his own game or anything. And Rainbow 6 owners get an upgrade to the next console too

*And it's Scott Pilgrim. This Christmas. Seriously, this was a gem when it was released.

*Watch Dogs Legion. Now with a soundtrack from Stormzy. No idea who that is. Aiden Pierce from Watch Dogs 1 is going to be part of the season 1.

*Riders Republic. Bikes. Snow boards. Skis. Gliders. Parasails. Jetpacks. Wingsuits. But maybe mostly bikes. (shrug)

So , stuff!

Anamanaguchi, who did the OST, are friends of mine, and were before they did the OST, so I guess I could say I knew them before they were famous.

Nice!  My girlfriend and I loved playing River City Girls together, and we were recommended Scott Pilgrim. So I tried to get an emulator to work. It kind of worked, but I couldn’t get it to save progress for player 1, only for player 2 (weird, I know). And so we just kind of gave up on it. Really glad to hear it’ll be on the Switch.

Also, River City Girls has a very similar play style and sense of humor if you’re already a fan or Scott Pilgrim. It’s great.

A short film to tie into Star Wars Squadons has been released...

Ahhh! Mario's Super Picross! The only one in the series I can't play without either an emulator or a Japanese SNES!

[Edward J Grug III]

I'm less than one page from finishing Picross S1 (the mega picross puzzles), so this is timed perfectly.

I’ll play it. The first was never my favorite, but hopefully they will change it enough to make it interesting. They have plenty of versions that preserve the original. I hope they change up the puzzles in this one. But I love the Myst series, and the chance to explore the world in VR is enough for me.

Oh, the Sony PS 5 conference. Sorry, I was on the Rifftrax Twitch channel.


*The Spider-Man expansion with Miles
*Warner announces a Harry Potter game or more accurately, a Hogwarts game with you in the role of a student. Hogwarts Legacy.
*Raven software, talking about CoD Black Ops Cold War. That name is a bit unwieldy. This has Sniper Elite style sniper zoom shots, it seems.
*From Capcom- Resident Evil Viii - Village
*Deathloop-the time looping assassins game. Ps 5 exclusive
*More from Capcom- DMC 5 Special Edition
*Oddworld Soulstorm. Um, it's a game? Kinda Pikmin/Lemmings-y
*Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach. Nice look for this. Don't think it's a traditional Freddy's game though
*Japan Studios- I think this is the Demon Souls Remaster. And it is. It's like Dark Souls, but earlier
*Fortnite. Which is available no where other than PS5. (cough)
*The PS Plus Collection- Looks like PS4 games for plus members- a whole bunch available at launch for download.

Oh hey, the actual unit. It still has those curvy surfaces that don't really work well.
Nov 12. $499 for the version with a drive. $399 for the digital only version.

Last look-something Norse, so I'm guessing AC: Valhalla? No "Ragnarok" so possibly a God of War sequel since it's from Santa Monica studios?

Anyway, price and date.
