The next Nintendo Direct may be happening sooner than we thought. A new post from the official Just Dance account says Ubisoft will reveal more about Just Dance: Decades of Hits on September 10, and that date is now fueling speculation that Nintendo's next Direct could happen the same day. Just Dance has regularly appeared in Nintendo Direct presentations, Nintendo traditionally holds a presentation ahead of Tokyo Game Show, and September 10 is now being mentioned by multiple people following Nintendo news. Nothing has been officially announced by Nintendo yet, but the pieces are starting to line up. Tonight on the Nintendo PowerCast, we're breaking down the September 10 Nintendo Direct rumor, why the date makes sense, and what Nintendo could potentially show if a Direct really is coming next week.

  Title: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced [

Just as a reminder we won't have a new show next weekend. As for this show we spend it mostly talking about two things. Gamescom and GTA6. To start with GTA6 was a pretty successful showcase. It left me coming away with more positives than negatives, but I still hope that mini-map gets some attention. All in all, it's more GTA, and there's not much else you could ask for except maybe a bigger map and we're getting that. I'm still probably there on day one but we'll see. It's a heavy asking price so it's really gonna depend on if I can throw that kind of money at a game at that time or not. Gamescom's big showcase, by comparison, felt like a dud. It suffers the same problem as all the other big game shows (organized and hosted by the same guy no less) – they're just too long and overstuffed. By the time you get to the end of the show you've forgotten nearly everything that came before the last reveal save for a game or two that struck you personally. For me it was the Lego Skylines game. A city builder in the Lego world. Otherwise I don't remember much from that presentation. But cutting it down to an hour and cutting back on how many you show in that hour might actually be helpful. Not only to us but to the people whose games are being shown. But if any of these big shows ever got another Splinter Cell to show off – that I'd remember. Ubisoft…it's been 4,759 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 10,618 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

I think we might see the fall of Ubisoft sometime after GTA VI releases.

Ubisoft clearly DGAF anymore. They released the original version of Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete Edition on Steam... but forgot to upload the actual game file! So players bought the game and... nada. The backlash was swift and severe, of course. Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

A Podcast is a friend who will welcome you home. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, after an admittedly long wait, we're finally talking about Expedition 33, the turn based RPG from an Ubisoft ex-pat that took the world by storm at its release. A game with both a narrative focus, and the mechanical hook of being able to dodge and parry in a turn based game, it manages to reach across the aisle, presuming both sides of that aisle contain fans of single player RPG campaigns. Not to say the game isn't successful at what it does and I can imagine this bringing people into the fold who were enticed to try it out due to the hype. However, in our experience this one takes a little while to get going, and maybe finishes a little too quickly to get the most out of its systems and even its story. That being said, the narrative strengths are a lot of what its reputation was built on, and it contains a lot of strong concepts, performances, and good character writing which do elevate it beyond what you would typically see. We're going to be talking about defensive options as they apply to a turn based RPG, the major narrative events of the game and our feelings on them, and we make profound revelations about love that will change your life. Thank you for joining us again this week (and for waiting as long as it took us to finish this one)! This game was sort of forced onto our list by the insane response to it, which, is understandable given just how big it was and all the awards it won, etc., but even so we're probably pretty far beyond the zeitgeist talking about it a year later. Still, it does have a lot of interesting things going on, and is also notable for the team that made it, so it does feel like an important game in context. Did you play the game when it came out, were you swayed by the hype surrounding it? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord server! Next time, we're going to be talking about Indika, so we hope you'll join us for that.

Level up your leadership: https://forms.gle/nqRTUvgFrtdYuCbr6 Why is game narrative so frequently dismissed, despite its responsibility for player connection? In this episode, we sit down with industry veteran Richard Dansky to break down why story isn't just dialogue - it's a core framework that helps gameplay make sense. Richard's the former central Clancy writer for Ubisoft with 27 years in game narrative and he joins the show to dismantle common myths about game writing. They dive deep into the essential separation between writers and narrative designers, why late-stage story changes cost studios massive amounts of time and money, and how proper leadership can empower narrative teams to drive long-term player investment. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What game narrative really is How everything from environmental storytelling to enemy barks helps shape the player's experience Why treating narrative as a late-stage "flavor pass" often leads to budget overruns, production headaches, and disconnected experiences How narrative can strengthen design, art, and gameplay when it's integrated from the start How successful studios structure their narrative teams How game leaders can embed narrative early in development If you're a leader in game dev who wants to build games players care about, but struggles to integrate narrative into your core production pipeline, this episode is for you.

Ubisoft might be one of the worst gaming companies of all time.

At the beginning of this episode we have a wonderful interview with Katie & Micah. They're a husband and wife team working on their first game together. The pull of which is styled on Roller Coaster Tycoon but for national parks. It's a very indie title due to release sometime before the end of the year and you can currently wish list it now on Steam. After that we talk about some updates from previous stories from last weekend and dive into those leaks of GTA6 and Microsoft decided not to disclose sales numbers anymore. To expand upon both of those it's really just two companies who want to keep information from the general public. The GTA leak is a result of that, apparently, and the Microsoft thing – well, that's kind of a mystery as to why they want to do that. Because now you've removed yourself from representation at the table, so to speak. Either way, it doesn't matter much on both ends. GTA will eventually get released and we'll enjoy it for ourselves and Microsoft will just keep doing what they're doing without us knowing how successful or unsuccessful they were at doing it. There are plenty of other metrics to go on that can tell you if something was successful or not. It won't be near as official but you can easily “read the room” of the internet for the most part. Someone else who clearly has not read the room is Ubisoft. Because there are at least a dozen of us waiting for a new Splinter Cell. Ubisoft…it's been 4,752 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 10,618 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

The unforeseen consequences of this war led to the first scientific history book, the birth of philosophy. and the rise of Alexander the Great. Assassin's Creed Odyssey puts us at the heart of the expansive conflict that occurred when Athens went to war with Sparta: the Peloponnesian War. Guest host Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Roel Konijnendijk to recount the causes, events and legacy of this pivotal war in the ancient Greek world.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

Read transcriptLet's talk about the year 2007, when Ubisoft looked at Konami's TMNT license, going up for grabs after three straight beat-em-ups, and said “yeah, we'll take it,” the video game equivalent of adopting somebody else's very large, very established pet. They tied the whole thing to Imagi's brand new fully CGI turtle movie and then, in an act of scheduling chaos I can only respect, shipped the game three entire days before the film hit theaters. Bold! Confusing! Possibly the result of someone losing a calendar! And then, because apparently one platform was never going to cut it, Ubisoft just kept going. PlayStation 2! GameCube! Xbox 360! Wii! PC! A PlayStation 3 version that got paraded around at trade shows like a prize pony and then quietly put out to pasture, never to be seen again! And just when you think the roster's full, Nintendo DS and PSP roll in with an entirely separate game wearing the same name tag, because why make one turtle game when you could make several turtle games and let the consumer sort it out. Also, bonus points to whoever in marketing decided the title needed zero subtitles, zero colons, zero numbers, just “TMNT,” like it's the only one that's ever existed. Confidence! Climbing out of the sewer to help me survey this multi-console fever dream is Jeremy Powers, host and creator of the Zenspath Entertainment Network, a man who apparently collects retro hardware, works as an engineer, and still finds time to run a podcast, which is either elite time management or a full refusal to acknowledge the concept of a day off. So track down whichever version of this thing actually ended up in your house back in 2007, because statistically there's a good chance it wasn't the same one as your neighbor's, and let's find out if TMNT earned its spot in the turtle hall of fame, or if it should've stayed a trade show prototype. Learn such things as: Do we ever stop to think that maybe the people making these games knew what they were doing all along? Will we ever get that chance to see Splinter and Iroh together? How much retreading is acceptable when you're the new guy making things? And so much more! You can find Jeremy on YouTube @Zenspathcom and of course at the Zenspath Entertainment Network.

At the start of this episode I mentioned that AI and RAM prices and all that doom and gloom is still out there but that hopefully we could talk about other things. And we did. But I could NOT pass up talking about the week that was for Saber and their situation with AI use. They got called out for it. Not from gamers by the way, no. This call came from inside the house. Or, at least, someone who used to be inside the house. The head writer for one of their games brought up the fact that she was fired and replaced by ChatGPT. What follows seems an almost text book lesson in how NOT to respond to something like this. We cover the whole situation, but you can easily look it all up yourself. And, maybe, try to avoid buying anything Saber in the future. Outside of that is a discussion as to what could, so far, be on this year's game of the year contender list. Going on vibes alone, there's not much. Going on sales, there's also not much but you'd see games like Mecha Chameleon or Big Walk on that list and other games of the sort – not something I disagree with but the triple A games are lacking so far this year. There's still a lot of year left to go, however. One game that won't make that list is, you guessed it, Splinter Cell. Ubisoft…it's been 4,745 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 10,608 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

Will Paramount actually leave California? Will RamRod ever bee a thing? Will Nicholas Hoult be a good Gilderoy Lockhart? Is Netflix the right place for a GTA extended look? Why was there a Giant Rat outside of the Bethesda office? And will Jim Carrey really be George Jetson? The Answer to all those questions and more in this weeks episode.

This week, Brett, Austin, and Jason cover four very different corners of gaming — starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved. Brett played the entire thing with zero nostalgia, and the remake genuinely won him over. But the three new prequel missions, the only original content in the release, tell a different story: reused assets, thin characters, and a baffling choice to have a new character openly dismiss Master Chief. That firsthand breakdown gets weighed against the discourse, the layoffs that hit the studio a week after launch, and what it all means for a $50 price tag. From there, the crew takes a first look at Funnel Runners, an early access co-op survival game where the real threat is a terrifyingly realistic tornado — thin on content right now, but building real community buzz. Then it's a generational showdown on Ghost Recon Wildlands' 25th anniversary update: Jason's 195 hours deep, Brett's walking in cold, and the two compare notes on the new 4K/60fps upgrade, the Last Rites mission, and what Ubisoft's silence on Breakpoint says about where the franchise is really headed. Closing things out, Austin replays Spider-Man 2018 in the wake of Brand New Day's record-breaking box office run, using it as a lens for what Marvel's Wolverine — Insomniac's next big swing — might look like when it lands in September. Time-value takes, honest tradeoffs, and opinions throughout — no hype, just the real talk busy gamers actually need.

durée : 00:59:19 - Cultures monde - Jusqu'en mars 2025, une nouvelle polémique secoue le studio français Ubisoft. Loin d'être fondée sur la qualité du jeu, elle se concentre sur la présence d'un samouraï noir. Depuis plusieurs années, ce type de polémique gagne en importance alors que le secteur semble de plus en plus inclusif. Vous aimez ce podcast ?

We're back and in the two weeks away…nothing has changed. In fact, it's only gotten worse but what do you expect from an AI world taking in all the ram (and water). PlayStation tells us it has enough ram for systems through the end of the year and more so during the release of GTA6 but Samsung has said we're gonna be in the funk for the foreseeable future. Also, both Nvidia and AMD are raising their GPU prices this month. With Microsoft increasing the Xbox price in the UK and Europe. Speaking of GTA6, the boss of Take-Two Interactive says we're getting the game at a STEAL for $80/$100. He's kinda right, if I'm honest. We've said before but that's a game you could put an outrageous price on (kinda is already) and it wouldn't surprise anyone to see the kind of numbers it would generate. Still, the way he put it came off like some over the top movie villain. Then again, he's a CEO, so… EA would really like the cut of that guy's jib, given what their CEO walked away with from the success of Battlefield 6. I mean, AFTER they laid off a good number of people first. Given the way these companies are handled it's no wonder we're still waiting on another Splinter Cell game. At this rate it'll release for a console no one can really afford. Ubisoft, it's been 4,738 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 9,128 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

En wat vinden we van deze aanpak? Ook kijken de drie heren naar de 25-jarige verjaardag van de Ghost Recon franchise. Hoe gaat Ubisoft dat vieren en vieren we de verjaardag met ze mee? Het antwoord op al die vragen krijg je in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 7 augustus 2026. Rockstar gaat meer van GTA 6 laten zien op Netflix Andere onderwerpen die behandeld worden zijn onder meer de reden waarom de Borderlands film zo hard flopte, de eerste beelden van de DLC van de laatste Mafia-game en de rating van Wolverine, die toch wel wat zegt over wat we van het spel kunnen verwachten.

We've got Comic-Con Updates! Marvel did not disappoint, as it lit up the airwaves, DC brought the Lanterns, and Spaceballs went to ludicrous speed! PlayStation got a big reality check as to why going digital is bad. Rick and Morty gave President Curtis his own show. And I went back to Installation 04 on legendary!

This week’s Gaming Flashback is Halo 3. Monster Hunter Wilds’ latest patch makes online-only missions playable offline Bethesda yet again reassures fans that The Elder Scrolls 6’s roadmap is unaffected by recent Xbox layoffs Atari signs deal with Universal Pictures to develop movies – Asteroids, Adventure, Berzerk, Breakout, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, Yars' Revenge PlayStation ‘blackout' week is coming to protest Sony's disc-Less future Dev: “Sony had the strictest social media guidelines they’ve ever seen issued” Xbox grants PC versions of select Ubisoft games to digital copy owners Let us know what you think.The post Episode 785: Digital Abuse first appeared on .

The second of the major releases is out now everywhere on PC, XBOX, and yes, even PlayStation 5, as HALO Campaign Evolved has come out of its early access period, and both Sean and Marc have played it, so they have thoughts on whether it delivers and if this really is the definitive way to play the first HALO game. Also, XBOX has begun its backwards compatibility program to PC beginning with four original XBOX games, with promises of more to come, and it may even possibly extend to third-party games as well. There's even the promise of achievements being added to the games as well. Could we see PlayStation doing anything similar to this at all? And will this eventually extend to a large portion of the library? Plus, a blackout is being organized to continue the rebellion against PlayStation for stopping the production of physical discs in 2028. Could this be the thing that gets their attention? Alanah Pearce also has evidence that Sony knows full well there would be backlash against them and gave very strict social media guidelines to follow as well.

Welcome to this week's episode of the PEBCAK Podcast!  We've got three amazing stories this week so sit back, relax, and keep being awesome!  Be sure to stick around for our Dad Joke of the Week. (DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast   Please share this podcast with someone you know!  It helps us grow the podcast and we really appreciate it!   Simple 6 signup link https://simple6.co/r/CFUR98   Hugging Face allegedly had to fall back on China's GLM 5.2 to investigate the OpenAI hack after US frontier models refused to help with forensic analysis, unable to distinguish attacker from defender. - https://x.com/coinbureau/status/2079663328021057654?s=46 - https://x.com/t3chfalcon/status/2079998873183949221 Per the claim, safety guardrails on US frontier models blocked forensic assistance during the incident response because the models couldn't tell the investigating security team apart from the attacker, forcing Hugging Face to run GLM 5.2 on its own servers to complete the analysis — a notable reversal given the assumption that domestic models would be the trusted fallback in a crisis.   VW drivers running GrapheneOS say the automaker's app has locked them out entirely, deepening fears carmakers are forcing users back into Google's ecosystem.  VW has now confirmed to German outlet heise that it deliberately blocked GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and /e/OS users via Google's Play Integrity API — the same certification gatekeeper already used by Barclays, HSBC, Monzo, Netflix, and Disney+. - https://cybernews.com/privacy/volkswagen-grapheneos-app-issues/ - https://x.com/intcyberdigest/status/2079992915972018246?s=46 - https://x.com/orwellday/status/2079704437241610443?s=46 Roughly 500,000 GrapheneOS users are affected; VW's app still supports outdated Android versions but rejects the privacy-focused OS, and VW told one user GrapheneOS "is not an official Volkswagen offering." The lockout follows a recent VW API change that also cut off third-party smart-charging and home-automation tools, raising questions about EU Data Act compliance.   A 19-year-old alleged Scattered Spider member's globe-trotting VPN op-sec got shredded by a Windows telemetry ID he probably didn't know existed. - https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-device-identifier-tracking/ Peter Stokes (dual US-Estonian, 19) allegedly ran an $8M extortion hit on a luxury retailer using voice-phishing, ngrok tunneling, and 77GB of S3 exfil — but the FBI cross-referenced his Microsoft Global Device Identifier (GDID) across Apple, Snapchat, Facebook, and even a Ubisoft login to place the same device on the same IPs in Tallinn, NYC, and Thailand, matching his travel records. Microsoft has since acknowledged using the GDID to track the user across three countries — meaning the VPN masked his network endpoint, but the GDID rendered that protection moot.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Glenn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennmedina/ Jason - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-seemann-12b7075/

The latest landscape of interactive entertainment presents a striking study in corporate consolidation and preservation, as Microsoft expands Xbox backward compatibility to PC players while European regulators clear Saudi Arabia's historic $55bn acquisition of Electronic Arts. Meanwhile, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has posted a formidable three million sales in its opening week, underscoring an enduring commercial appetite for modernized heritage titles alongside Bethesda's ambitious Fallout roadmap and Jagex's expanding ambitions for RuneScape. In this week's episode, hosts Gary Blower, Jerome, and Taylor weigh in on these macro industry shifts before turning to their individual highlights. Their weekly picks span the hardware charm of the Super Pocket Rare edition and HERO GP, the indie allure of Vampire Crawlers, and a sharp retrospective on Batman Beyond's rogues' gallery. #gameburst Featured YouTube Links Casually Comics - Was Inque Batman Beyond's Best Villain?: https://youtu.be/hepnxhWZI-w?si=2YY1yQ_5cHtgCIwk

Not the busiest of weeks for news, especially compared to previous weeks, but I guess it isn't all bad. On my end, we might be getting another shot at someone making a Burnout game. However they've tried before and missed the mark so we'll have to wait and see how this next attempt shakes out. We don't have detailed pre-order data for GTA6, but we do know it's been number one on PlayStation for a while now. Given that, I could probably bet money there will be server issues on one or both of the consoles it's releasing for on that day. That many people trying to download and play that one game is bound to clog some pipes. It sure would be nice to get some news on Splinter Cell, but I'll take that Ghost Recon news next month so long as it's better than what they previously released. Wildlands was great, I'm talking about the game that came after that. Ubisoft, it's been 4,724 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released. Also, there's been 8,701 job losses in the gaming industry since January 1, 2026.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we revisit our Splinter Cell conversation with a return interview with Clint Hocking. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Podcast breakdown: 1:08 Interview 1:04:47 Break 1:05:11 Outro Issues covered: who is responsible for the MDA framework, moving to Montreal and working with New Yorkers, world-relative cameras, figuring out console cameras, the struggles with camera and controls, a game that had all the elements, neoconservative fantasy to save the world from future threats, having a team form around the ashes of disagreement, doing three jobs, clarity in the goals, design sins, having invited moments vs supporting being better than the designer, establishing a systemic language, the most complicated doors in video games, being bottom-up, negotiating all the types of doors, everyone being on board with the approach, intrinically motivated engagement, motivating the desired experience, real-world examples of what it means to get 100%, the one job, being remote vs being in the job, level design and script writing between entwined, the state of the industry. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: UbiSoft, LucasArts, Valve, Amazon, Build Machine Games, Far Cry 2, Robin Hunicke, Mark LeBlanc, Robert Zubek, Doug Church, Red Storm Entertainment, Hitman, Halo, Xbox, Bounty Hunter, Jedi Knight, Metal Gear Solid (series), Resident Evil (series), The Fifth Element, James Bond, J.

This week's games represent two ends of the video game spectrum. On one side, we have Denshattack, an indie game about a train that performs skateboard-style tricks in a fantastical version of Japan. On the other end, we have Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, a decadent remake of a beloved but dusty Ubisoft open-world game. Guest Jeff Grubb from Giant Bomb helps us chat about these two very different delights! Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes?
