Czy twórcy gier promują broń palną? Czy karabiny z Call of Duty i Battlefielda są tylko „estetyką”, czy może częścią większej strategii marketingowej producentów uzbrojenia?W dzisiejszym odcinku Push START zagłębiamy się w temat, o którym rzadko się mówi głośno: współpraca branży gier z producentami broni.

Ubisoft, géant du jeu vidéo français, navigue en eaux troubles. Entre chute de sa valeur boursière, retards de production, ventes en berne et un procès pour harcèlement, l'éditeur a traversé une période critique. L'échec commercial de Star Wars Outlaws, lancé l'an dernier, a symbolisé ces difficultés. Heureusement, Ubisoft a pu s'appuyer sur ses licences phares, comme Assassin's Creed, pour attirer un acteur majeur de l'industrie : Tencent.Depuis plusieurs mois, des rumeurs circulaient sur un rapprochement entre Ubisoft et le géant chinois. Elles se confirment aujourd'hui avec l'annonce d'un investissement massif de Tencent, qui prend une participation de 10 % au capital et 25 % dans une nouvelle entité regroupant les équipes de développement des plus grandes franchises. Yves Guillemot, cofondateur et PDG d'Ubisoft, salue une étape clé : « Cette alliance marque un tournant dans notre transformation. Elle nous permettra d'être plus agiles et ambitieux. »L'objectif ? Améliorer la qualité des jeux solo et accélérer le développement des expériences multijoueur, avec une publication plus régulière de contenus. Un souffle financier bienvenu pour Ubisoft, qui pourra aussi se concentrer sur d'autres licences comme Ghost Recon et The Division. Pour Tencent, cet investissement s'inscrit dans sa stratégie d'expansion à l'international. Le président du groupe, Martin Lau, affiche son enthousiasme : « Nous avons confiance en la vision créative d'Ubisoft. Nous voyons un énorme potentiel pour développer ces franchises sur le long terme et offrir de nouvelles expériences aux joueurs. » Cette alliance pourrait bien permettre à Ubisoft de conquérir le marché asiatique, un territoire clé dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo.

He took part in many productions including feature films like X-MEN: Dark Phoenix, the new series Three Pines and he was also offered the part of Martin Baldwyn in season 2 of The Art of More alongside Kate Bosworth and Dennis Quaid.

He wrote, produced and acted in his first feature film, The Badge (which is now available on Itunes. wink, wink.) where he portrays Martin Goulet, a reckless detective in a corrupted city doing what he can to get by, co-starring Vincent Leclerc and under the direction of Joseph-Antoine Clavet.

Austin reviews Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. Xbox had a lot riding on Ninja Theory deliving a banger with this game but unfortunately it doesn't live up to the  first one aside from a mega graphics upgrade. Brett also dives into xDefiant, the new shooter from Ubisoft featuring characters from all their major franchises such as Watch Dogs, The Division, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Far Cry. We also review Content Warning. A game developed by a few people and costing under 8 dollars, this game provides hours of fun with friends. Record something scary, record it and go viral. That's the pitch but unfortunately it rarely ever goes your way!We also talk about the reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows. No gameplay yet but this game is set in feudal Japan where you can play either a female Ninja or a male Samurai. We're not sure how this mixture of characters will play into the Assassin's Creed lens, but we're waiting to see gameplay. We also look at the leaked footage of Deadlock from Valve. It's a hero shooter that mixes MOBA mechanics with a third person shooter game. It looks really good with a unique art style that has us intrigued.Show Notes:1:02 - Housekeeping2:23 - Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 Review: It's Boring.

It's no secret that Nintendo's 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom' is going to be one of the biggest games of the year (if not THE biggest)! We've been obsessed with the game since it came out and this most recent return to Hyrule is the best yet! That's why I'm super excited to have Zelda voice actress Patricia Summersett on the show to talk about playing the legendary character herself! We talk about getting the role, the difference between recording a voice role like Zelda and a mocap role like Patricia did for Ghost Recon and much more! For sure we talk about some of the more creative "builds" we've seen from the community, Patricia's move to Los Angeles paying off and performing in her band 'Summersett'... which you can listen to right here at summersettband.com!
