SGF 2024: Ubisoft Forward, Future Games Showcase [Arcade Couch Podcast]

In the last of our SGF specials, we discuss Ubisoft Direct and The Future Game Show.

Show Dot Points

• The Ubisoft Forward event had a strong start and finish, but the middle section felt like filler content.
• The open-world Star Wars game Star Wars Outlaws received mixed reactions, with some finding it generic and others intrigued by its mechanics.
• Ciaran felt that Ubisoft should reconsider its presentation format and focus on delivering more impactful announcements. Skull and Bones presentation was lackluster and focused on requested features and desperate pleas for players to keep playing
• Prince of Persia received mixed reactions, with a new DLC announced but a delay for the game announced in 2020
• Assassin’s Creed Shadows showcased gameplay with two protagonists, a samurai and a ninja, with the ninja gameplay receiving more positive feedback
• The future game show featured upcoming games like Nobody Wants to Die, Parcel Corps, and Dustborn
