En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial examinamos la reciente decisión de Ubisoft de detener temporalmente su cotización en la Bolsa de París tras posponer la presentación de sus resultados trimestrales. La compañía francesa ha solicitado volver al índice una vez que publique sus cuentas, algo que, según ha asegurado, sucederá en breve. En el último informe difundido, fechado el 22 de julio, la empresa ya mostraba una reducción del 3,9% en su facturación. El director financiero, Frédérick Duguet, comunicó internamente que la suspensión buscaba “evitar movimientos especulativos y fluctuaciones innecesarias mientras se completa el cierre del semestre”, justificando que necesitaban un margen adicional para finalizar este proceso. La medida abre la puerta a analizar el estado real del grupo, que viene atravesando varios años complicados. El rendimiento de sus títulos principales sigue siendo clave para entender su situación, y 2024 fue especialmente difícil. El lanzamiento de Star Wars Outlaws, llamado a convertirse en un éxito de ventas, terminó siendo uno de sus mayores tropiezos recientes. El juego apenas alcanzó el millón de copias vendidas durante su primer mes en el mercado, muy por debajo de las previsiones internas, que oscilaban entre 5,5 y 7,5 millones. Aunque las ventas repuntaron ligeramente tras varias actualizaciones y su llegada a Switch, el impacto inicial fue un golpe duro para la firma. El ejercicio 2025 comenzó con un panorama algo más alentador gracias al nuevo título de su saga estrella: Assassin's Creed. En agosto, Assassin's Creed Shadows se posicionó como el juego más vendido en Europa, pese a la controversia inicial provocada por su protagonista y las críticas sobre su plausibilidad histórica. Finalmente, el éxito comercial fue contundente: cinco millones de copias solo en agosto, convirtiéndose en la principal baza de Ubisoft para contrarrestar un 2024 marcado por pérdidas de 159 millones de dólares y un descenso del 17,5% en ingresos. Hablar de Ubisoft implica también mencionar a Tencent, su segundo mayor accionista con un 10% del capital, solo superado por la familia Guillemot, que controla el 15%. Ambas compañías anunciaron recientemente la creación de una nueva filial, Vantage, destinada a gestionar franquicias clave como Assassin's Creed, Far Cry y Rainbow Six, en un intento por reforzar la estabilidad y el futuro de estas marcas emblemáticas.

I veckans avsnitt pratar vi om den uppdaterade PS Portal, om svenska spelframgångar, om den nya Mario-filmen och om Sonys senaste State of play. Dessutom blir det snack om purfärska Valve-annonseringen. Vi har spelat Absolum, Dispatch, Little Misfortune, Far Cry 6, Ball x Pit, Alabaster Dawn och mycket mer.

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Dopo The Veilguard volevi il woke fuori dai giochini e adesso EA si è venduta agli arabi. E al genero di Donald Trump, che ad occhio e croce non mi sembra una delle 10 personalità più inclusive d'America. Gran ficata, vedrai che adesso Dragon Age torna ad essere una cosa per very giocatory lasciando perdere tutte quelle porcate che ci hanno voluto infilare di forza nel gozzo. Solo che ne sei sicuro? Perché l'idea della nuova proprietà è di recuperare quei 20 miliardi di debito che hanno accumulato lasciando a casa un sacco di gente e facendo fare tutto il possibile all'Intelligenza Artificiale. I risultati sono disastrosi già adesso, perché le IA (quantomeno per ora) non possono sostituire un programmatore, un grafico, un designer: producono roba che si vede già ad occhio essere evidentemente sbagliata e finiscono per abbassare la qualità di quello che poi pretendi di vendere ad 80€ su PSN. E sarà anche peggio, perché questa idea di avere degli asset stock da riciclare tra le varie produzioni era già venuta ad Ubisoft nella sua parentesi che va dal 2017 al 2020, quella dove il drone di Ghost Recon Wildlands era identico all'aquila che usavi su Assassin's Creed per spottare i nemici negli avamposti. Ti ricordi com'è finita? Ad un certo punto ti sei rotto il cazzo di comprare e giocare sempre lo stesso gioco e adesso Ubisoft ha dovuto chiedere i soldi a Tencent per continuare a fare Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six e Far Cry. Che poi com'è che Far Cry faccia ancora i soldi visto che dal 3 in poi so tutti uguali è un mistero, ma è un altro discorso. L'acquisizione di EA è uno di quei casi in cui devi stare attento a quello che desideri, perché potrebbe avverarsi. E forse tra qualche anno dovremmo rimpiangere quel periodo storico in cui il peggio che faceva EA erano le microtransazioni.

The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Ep#203 End of Line Hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate Foo discuss video games, entertainment, technology, and personal life updates in a casual, banter-filled episode. They note this might be the last with the current cast due to Nate's upcoming personal changes. Opening and Setup The episode starts with technical glitches (freezes during recording setup) and casual chit-chat about sleep, caffeine, and weather. They spin a "topic wheel" landing on video games. Video Games (Main Focus) News and Rumors: Free Assassin's Creed Mirage expansion (funded by Saudi government, adding 5-10 hours of content, releasing Nov 18). Debunked rumor of Microsoft canceling a handheld due to AMD sales demands. Positive reviews for ROG Ally X handhelds ($800-$1100 models), praised as strong Steam Deck competitors but criticized for Xbox-PC library confusion. Windows 10 end-of-support (Oct 2025), pushing users to Windows 11 with workarounds for older hardware. Nintendo's unexplained animated short revealed as Pikmin-related, with plans for more in-house CGI shorts. Astroneer spin-off Star Seeker (2026, multiplayer-focused, handcrafted levels). Game Pass changes: PC tier crippled (no day-one releases, reduced library); premium tier required for full access, causing confusion and backlash. Games Mentioned: Space Adventure Cobra (Metroidvania adapting 1980s anime, recommended). Tron Identity and Catalyst (picked up by Tim). Fortnite Tron Ares skins (Tim frustrated by purchase issues due to timed exclusivity). Minecraft Tron pack. Death of Team Ninja founder Tomonobu Itagaki (58), praised for Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive despite controversies. Games Played: Nate enjoyed Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (funny, retro FPS with Michael Biehn voicing). Tim beat Hollow Knight (48 hours, 86% completion; critiques it harshly for "artificially hard" design, inconsistent controls, and cheap difficulty, calling it "the best game I don't recommend"). Started Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (highly praised Metroidvania). Brief mentions of Dead Cells and Castlevania for better controls. Entertainment In-depth review of Tron Ares (spoilers avoided): Both hosts loved it as a fun, visually stunning sequel blending old and new grids. Praised direction, action (light cycles, disc fights), Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, and themes (AI, identity). Minor critiques: heavy-handed callbacks, some sound inconsistencies, Jared Leto's performance (good but uneven). Tim notes it's his wife's favorite Tron film; appeals to non-fans. Discussed CGI evolution and fan reactions. Technology Apple surprise press release: M5 chip (best single-core performance ever), new M5 MacBook Pros and iPad Pros (available now, with faster SSDs). Apple TV+ rebranding to Apple TV (confusing due to hardware overlap); bundling with Peacock. Rivian CEO doubles down on skipping Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, accepting lost sales. Nate recommends CMF Headphone Pros ($100: excellent noise-canceling, on-device EQ, 60+ hour battery, replaceable ear cushions). Tim's ad-driven interests: Bearskin Hoodie 4.0 (tried one, praises pockets and fit but notes rain issues). Ridge Wallet Tracker Card ($45: slim, rechargeable Find My-compatible). Brief home improvement/Tool Time parody idea for a hypothetical YouTube channel. Life Updates Nate shares his drinking problem; intake for rehab starts Monday (hoping for outpatient to avoid work disruption). Wife stayed elsewhere last night due to issues. Tim's doctor visit: Stage 2 hypertension (unexpected spike); quitting alcohol post-current stock, limiting caffeine to one morning cup. Pursuing heart scans for genetic concerns (related to late father's issues). Leg physical therapy ongoing. Mom moving in end-Oct/early-Nov. Haunted house crawl tomorrow (waiver-required, including friends he matchmade). Friends' new relationship progressing adorably (poems, dates). Bought Nine Inch Nails tickets; Mariners baseball hype noted. The episode runs long (~3 hours), filled with humor, rants (e.g., Tim's Hollow Knight frustration), and mutual support. Ends with plans for editing and future episodes, uncertain due to Nate's situation.   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

On this week's episode, the guys dive into a stimulating and timely discussion about the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) and its rapid evolution in various sectors. Joe shares his insights with Cody, highlighting the transformative impact AI is having on industries ranging from healthcare to entertainment, and the ethical dilemmas that come along with its advancement. He emphasizes the importance of understanding AI's capabilities and limitations as society navigates this technological frontier. Following this engaging conversation, Joe shifts gears to talk about his recent experience with the open beta for Battlefield 6 multiplayer. He describes the thrill of jumping into the action, detailing the game's graphics, mechanics, and the overall gameplay experience. This leads to a broader discussion about the Battlefield franchise itself, where they reminisce about the evolution of the series, its iconic moments, and how it has shaped the first-person shooter genre over the years. They also explore the competitive landscape of multiplayer gaming and how Battlefield 6 stacks up against its rivals. As the episode progresses, there is a brief yet exciting talk about the revival of the beloved animated series King of the Hill. The guys reflect on the show's cultural significance and its unique portrayal of American suburban life, pondering what new storylines and character developments might be in store for the revival. They speculate about the potential for nostalgia to play a role in the new episodes and how the creators might balance honoring the original series while introducing fresh content for both old fans and new viewers. The episode takes an intriguing turn when they discuss a recent story suggesting that Ubisoft may have inadvertently leaked information regarding FX's plans to develop a live-action television series based on the popular video game franchise, Far Cry. Joe and Cody examine the implications of this potential adaptation, considering how the rich narratives and diverse settings of the Far Cry games could translate to the small screen. They also talk about the involvement of notable creators Rob McElhenney and Noah Hawley, speculating on how their unique storytelling styles might shape the series. This leads to a broader conversation about the trend of adapting video games into television and film, discussing both successes and failures in the industry. Overall, this episode is packed with insightful commentary and lively discussions that not only entertain but also provoke thought about the intersections of technology, gaming, and storytelling in contemporary culture.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Gimpy and Chip discuss the state of Ubisoft after the announcement that the Ceo's son will be heading a subsidiary responsible for shepherding new entries in the Assassins Creed, Far Cry and Rainbowsix franchises.youtube available: https://youtu.be/hTmbfFHwllU

It's been said that Muriel Spark's career was not so much a life as a plot, and she did indeed repeatedly reinvent herself, closing one chapter of her life and opening another, regardless of how many friends and business associates she abandoned along the way. This month the Slightly Foxed team were joined by Muriel Spark's biographer Martin Stannard, and Spark enthusiast Emily Rhodes of Emily's Walking Book Club, to discuss the work of this highly original and somewhat forgotten writer and learn how Muriel first invited Martin to write her biography and then did her best to prevent it seeing the light of day. Born in 1918, Muriel grew up in a working class family in Edinburgh – the setting for her most famous novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which was based on a charismatic teacher at her own school. At the age of 19 she closed that chapter of her life by marrying an older maths teacher, Sydney Oswald Spark, known (appropriately) thereafter as SOS, and going with him to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) where their son Robin was born. Unfortunately it soon became obvious that Sydney had severe psychiatric problems and in 1943 Muriel left husband and son and returned to London where she began her career as a novelist. Several times shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and much admired by Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, Muriel produced 22 novels, most of them drawing on events in her own life. Everyone at the Slightly Foxed table had their favourites, including The Girls of Slender Means, A Far Cry from Kensington, Loitering with Intent, and Memento Mori, a clear eyed and also very funny look at old age. Everyone agreed on the brilliance of her writing with its dark humour, preoccupation with the supernatural and with the presence of evil in unlikely places. Her life was equally fascinating, moving from poverty to great wealth and success, and from the shabbier parts of London to intellectual life in New York centred on The New Yorker magazine, to which she became a contributor. In 1954 she was received into the Roman Catholic church and for some time she lived in Rome, relishing the glitter of Italian high society, finally settling in Tuscany with her friend Penelope Jardine, where she died in 2005. Summer reading recommendations included Caledonian Road by Andrew O'Hagan, Death at the Sign of the Rook by Kate Atkinson, Homework by Geoff Dyer and Of Thorn and Briar by Paul Lamb. Martin also praised Electric Spark, the new – and very different – biography of Muriel Spark by Frances Wilson. For episode show notes, please see the Slightly Foxed website.

Is the planet also forbidden?The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button is back in control and it has chosen the one-and-only game that will ever be developed by Typhoon Studios. Published by 505 Games, this first-person title is billed as "action-adventure" but feels a bit more like "exploration-survival" to us. If you start with inspiration from Far Cry, add comedy science fiction films, and then mix that with Metroidvania elements, you may start to form an idea of what playing this game could be like. Fortunately for you, Tom and Chris have each dedicated an hour of their busy schedules to do some real reconnaissance on this wild world and are ready to determine if this interstellar investigation warrants increased investment.

Carl-Edwin Michel s'entretient avec Ludger Saintélien, directeur créatif chez Gearbox et vétéran du jeu vidéo passé par EA, Ubisoft, Warner et Activision. Ludger revient sur son parcours, entre design, narration visuelle et grandes franchises comme Far Cry, Batman ou Call of Duty. Il partage sa vision du rôle du directeur créatif, au croisement de l'artistique et de la coordination d'équipe. Sur l'IA, il évoque un équilibre à préserver : l'outil est prometteur, mais il ne doit pas effacer la sensibilité humaine. Chez Gearbox, l'automatisation touche les pipelines, mais la création reste entre les mains d'artistes. Pour lui, l'intuition et la touche unique de chaque créateur demeurent irremplaçables.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series of series on the independent games of the last couple of decades, starting with 2012's Fez. We set the game in its time, talk a bit about its precedents and the landscape of independent games in the middle of that console generation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Single-digit cubes Issues covered: our real plan or lack thereof, early games, the indie revolution, the influences back and forth, the pressure of the space we're in, a highly visible indie, games from that year, sequels vs the different stuff in the indies, democratization of the market, the console cycle, always online fiasco, getting on the Steam store, opening console store fronts to independents, limitations, the broadband market and bandwidth costs, the publicity on the store, low cost of goods, continuing power of retail, a two dimensional puzzle game in a three dimensional world, charm, great music and MIDI with an unsettling feel, rotating the world, rebooting the game, achieving the effect without perspective, the Trixel engine, having a hard time getting it, trusting the game, having a new lens on a game, taking the time to infuse the whole experience, team sizes, telling a different story with an existing language, having fewer people to get on board, independent publishers and producers, influences, glitch aesthetics, map language, climbing on the sides of things, stopping time while the world rotates, how the editor might work, games from the past, CONFIG.SYS (dang it, could not remember), skipping over generations. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Will Wright, Indie Game: The Movie, Polytron, Phil Fish, Dishonored, Halo 4, AW American Nightmare, X-COM, Firaxis, Mass Effect 3, Forza Horizon, Far Cry (series), Counterstrike: Go, Assassin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2, Diablo III, Dragon's Dogma, Journey, The Walking Dead, Telltale Games, FTL, Spelunky, Papo y Yo, Bastion, Super Hexagon, Terry Cavanaugh, Supergiant, Hades, Transistor, UFO 50, Derek Yu, That Game Company, Sky, Sony, PlayStation, Microsoft, Steam, XBLA, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Nintendo, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Zelda (series), Super Mario (series), Metroid (series), Outer Wilds, The Sixth Sense (obliquely), Renaud Bedard, Trapdoor, Penny Arcade, blitworks, Tetris, Axiom Verge, Tron, Out of this World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Super Mario 3D Land, Minecraft, Sam, Interstate '76, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Would you play a Miles Morales-style God of War interstitial? If you said "yes," we have good news: Just such a product is apparently slated for PS5 this fall, and it's rumored to return the series to its Greek roots. But is this really the best use of Santa Monica Studio's time? Shouldn't all eyes be on what's truly next? We discuss. Then: Ubisoft has announced its long-rumored financial deal with tech conglomerate Tencent, one that will give the Chinese firm a 25% stake in a new entity encompassing Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. What does this $1+ billion infusion in capital do for the ailing publisher? Is it too little, too late? Plus: Indiana Jones' PS5 release date draws very near, Until Dawn's original PS3 version leaks in full, Rocksteady's upcoming Batman game may be the first confirmed PlayStation 6 title, Bandai Namco and Sony get together on more retro PlayStation ports, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With Naughty Dog's Intergalactic unlikely to come to market before 2027, could it end up being PlayStation 5's swan song? Will Game Informer's unexpected comeback prove a triumphant success or a predictable failure? How can Housemarque best position Saros to succeed with Returnal fans?
