New Blizzard IP _ new Star Wars games and Pokemon Legends_ Arceus _ This Week In Videogames - Part 1

 This video is brought to you by a friend of the Squarespace channel. Stay close to learn more about them as well as a special offer they are making available through my channel. I'm late because the world-shaking purchase of Activision Blizzard was such huge news that I dedicated an entire video to it earlier this week. So if you missed this video find the link in the description below, this news was so big you could be forgiven for thinking that nothing else happened in the video game industry this week, but that's not the case. Lots of things happened like did you know Italian politicians accidentally aired Final Fantasy Vii Hentai? Straight to the news, as Activision Blizzard sucks up the headlines, you must be wondering how Bethesda feels just a week ago there with a crown jewel in Microsoft's acquisition CA Talogue and now Uncle feels like I'm not playing with you anymore wants, but todd remains undeterred and this week we got the tiniest sliver of starfield news as bethesda showed more concept art for the game this time around for the port city there's not much of new atlantis here but there's a good sense where the art team at bethesda parks this one, with high-tech cityscapes nestled in natural wooded settings, not dissimilar, say, anthem let's hope starfield lands a little bit better one did, though we also know a very tiny bit of Received Elder Scrolls 6 messages. A job posting for Bethesda made it clear that Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in pre-production and will move into full production after Starfield has shipped Little stands out, as it reminds us that we probably won't be playing Elder Scrolls 6 until around 2026, ouch amid the Elden Ring hype. You may have heard a story doing the rounds that Dark Souls PvPS is in you now here's the deal the Dark Souls community spotted this week

A very nasty vulnerability related to the netcode that powers most Fromsoft titles. The vulnerability allows what is known as Remote Code Execution, or RCE, which basically allows hackers to do whatever they want on your computer, essentially using it as a remote control device with full access, stealing your most personal files or might start posting on social media, so yeah that's a big deal, it's a particularly big deal at the moment as Eldon Ring is likely facing the same exploit and for a few million people will be playing Elden Ring in just under a month , which is quite worrying, luckily Bamco is on the case and has just disabled all network functionality in the affected games and is working on a fix. Hopefully it will rain in time for Eldon Ring Damn I'm so excited for this video game you know what else I'm for Pokemon Arceus that's a lie I'm not excited at all for that have you guys seen this visu? While the whole thing looks like you're starting a game for the first time and the textures haven't loaded yet, the Pokemon is Arceus. The good news is that the reviews for this one came out this morning and are pretty green The Board Many outlets give this eight out of ten nine out of ten many claim it's the Pokémon revival that fans have been waiting forever for, too if it looks like us, so that's a great thing, but I'll be honest with you and say that when it comes to critics and the media, I'm very skeptical about their take on Pokemon. I mean, ign and Gamespot gave Pokemon Sword and Shield nine out of 10 shakes I was hoping for when I played Sword and Shield a few years ago, so I'll stay open to this one where we're talking Pokemon. Have you seen this new trailer for Pal World Man? like game where you can capture enslave pokemon and enslave the pokemon and make the pokemon make m4 guns in a sweatshop and then you can ride the pokemon and then mow down other pokemon with a minigun is a real one

Video game, by the way, might not have a release date yet, but Watchdogs Legion shipped in 2019 and it was met with a mixed reception, while the game had some interesting ideas that it mostly leaned toward overall recruitment and players, which also just wasn't quite as fun As it should have been, the online mode for the game was delayed and arrived after launch, promising the kind of co-op shenanigans you can expect in any open-world co-op game, all through regular content Updates Well, it looks like Ubisoft has run out of runways in this case, as the developers sent out an update this week indicating that their previous title update was the last and that the existing seasonal content in the game would start to repeat itself, it is difficult to know exactly whether Ubisoft had always planned this or not, it is necessary to imagine that They would have loved their online stuff to take off completely, resulting in an endless tail of microtransactions on revenue, but equally they could have just planned to exit at that point from the start. I think it's okay that video games don't have to live forever. Ubisoft made a decent game that they've updated a couple of times and now they're moving on. On other things, in fairness, I wonder if they're planning a sequel for Watchdogs. Both Watchdogs 2 and 3 didn't set the world on fire, so one has to wonder if Ubisoft is ready for Round 4, or if they plan to redirect their resources to more profitable franchises like Far Cry and Assassin's Creed and whatever Teufel das nft [ __ ] is a game that we know was Battlefield 2042. Last week I mentioned that Battlefield 5 had a higher average daily player count than 2042. Even hackers abandoned the game since it died so quickly. This player drop is too big for EA's bigwigs to ignore and rumor has it that they are considering some big games. Freelancer Tom Henderson has a number of sources at dice and this week he tweeted quote ea is alleged

I'm very disappointed with Battlefield 2042's performance and am looking at all the options when it comes to the title. That includes looking at free-to-play in some capacity as I talked about the fact that charging 60 for this broken, unfinished mess was ridiculous. I mean hell, even a good competitive shooter would struggle in today's market with a premium price tag as it's largely free to play across the board when it comes to competitive shooting, so yes free-to-play would be one Little help, but the biggest problem with Battlefield 2042 isn't the business model, it's pretty much everything else, making Battlefield 2042 free to play doesn't make it immediately ready to compete with Halo Infinite or Apex Legends or Cod Warzone i mean it was just this week that 2042 got a scoreboard, for goodness sake the road to 2042 redemption is a very long one and I really wonder if EA's leadership team has the guts f or I suspect they don't , it's been a long time since we heard anything about Ghost Wire Tokyo, the horror-action hybrid of Bethesda's Tango works. We still haven't heard anything official but a release date may have been leaked as reported by mpfirst.com the PSN listing for the game has been updated briefly to include a March 24 release date, this date has been removed but it is consistent with the Northern Spring's previously stated release windows. Take this one with a grain of salt though, as I would have expected a little more marketing hype for this one if the release date was so tight. One title that got an official release date was Lego Star Wars, the Skywalker Saga, but what should have been a moment of celebration quickly went sour due to Polygon's reporting The Crunch is currently with the developers at tt Games, so is initially set the release date for april 5th and it was revealed in a banging new trailer that this game looks really amazing, the lego games almost always deliver ys and it looks like this one will stand out from the rest, so definitely something to look forward to when reporting

by polygon's jack yarwood certainly dampens that excitement, he spoke to over 30 current and former tt developers and they paint a sadly familiar picture of working conditions there, with claims of ongoing crises aggravated by unsympathetic management, some of them the staff would yell at them if they did that tried to leave on time it seems it's always been that way at tt games but with the skywalker saga it got a lot worse because of the game's massive scope and because the team just started it decided to use a new engine built in-house, and it was. The unfinished management did this to cut costs so they didn't have to pay licensing fees to use the Unreal engine. The new studio leadership seems to be helping in some cases but not in others and it's clear the tt staff Polygon spoke to are. I'm not exactly excited about the future direction of the studio as it continues to focus on more and more Lego projects. It's a shame that so many games are made this way, especially a game as wholesome as this one kind of sucks to know that the joy brought to so many children comes at the expense of the physical and mental well-being of so many people , so coverage like this is important, hopefully it serves as a wake-up call. Call management and they can start fixing the ship while we're on the subject of Star Wars. Have you heard that Respawn is making three Star Wars games and zero Titanfall games? This is no joke a release this week confirming that respawn makers from Apex Legends and Jedi Falled Order and long ago Titanfall are working on three separate Star Wars projects. The first is a sequel to Jedi Falled Order the semi open world soul light released a few years ago strong reviews great game am very happy this series is continuing the second title is the rumored first person shooter respawn has been working on there already There had been rumors about this one for a while and everyone was super hopeful that this would be the long awaited much touted Titanfall 3, those hopes were dashed when this blog post confirmed that this game has nothing to do with Titanfall at all and
