It is Thursday, so it is time to cover recent gaming news over the last seven days.
I am your host, Paul, and joining me, he's busy failing to stay in stealth while trying to break out of the Pyke's base along with his best friend, Nyx.
It's Josh.
Everybody knows I don't do stealth very well.
I do try. I really try to do stealth, and then I just start shooting.
Yeah, then I started blasting. that's exactly my same strategy yeah
anyway i started blasting all right and joining me and josh he's busy learning what it means to
be a navi and no matter what the rda does to him he's going to remain loyal and would never turn
on his people it's ryan yeah never i would never go to the bad side that doesn't sound like me at all
never i'm pretty sure avatar is not going to give you a choice to join the rda but that would that
would be pretty interesting that would make me get that game yeah kill all the navi yeah that
would probably not not do very well all right so guys we have a lot to cover here today we have to
talk about the Ubisoft
Forward, which I know now took place a little bit more than a week ago. But last Thursday when we
recorded Gaming News, it was right before the Ubisoft Forward. So we weren't able to cover
anything that was there. We have a lot to talk about regarding Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar Frontiers
of Pandora, X-Defiant, and Assassin's Creed Mirage.
Let's start off by talking about Star Wars Outlaws, because I think this is the one we
were most curious to see, especially because we just hadn't really seen anything yet.
We got a 10-minute video that shows us, frankly, quite a bit of content here in Outlaws. Basically,
long story short, you play as a rogue
outlaw. It takes place in between the movies The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
I know for me, I had very low expectations going into this presentation. I was not really convinced
that Ubisoft could make a good open world Star Wars game. But I'm very curious to hear from you
guys. Now that we've finally been able to see footage, what are your impressions? I'm pretty impressed.
I didn't expect a lot from this either, to be honest. And then when we initially saw this,
we got a little snippet of just like the story part where she's in the cantina.
And then we didn't really get to see
the rest of it and then later on they said okay well here's 10 minutes of gameplay and that is
when i was like dude this game actually looks pretty good like the the fact that they have
done so much with it because initially i was like okay here's she's yeah she's hiding behind cover
she's pew-pewing people from afar oh look she hit him in the head and they died like that part was kind of like
all right whatever but then they show her on like a speeder bike making her getaway
that gave me a little bit of pod racer vibes for for like a little bit and i was like oh okay and
then they get to where she takes off and she blasts off into space. And now you're flying around space controlling your ship and dogfights and stuff.
And I went, whoa, wait a minute now.
Is this like a full-fledged Star Wars game from top to bottom?
Because now I'm excited.
It looked like that to me too.
She comes through.
I thought it was cool too.
You got the explosive container. she's switching through guns and then you got uh you know this
there's this little like uh alien animal helper friend she's got and you can command it to go do
stuff she saw a gun from an enemy she killed earlier commands him over there boom then she
gets a rifle and she can start mowing down guys from there and then like you said she jumped on
the speeder bike which i loved because you know with all the destiny i played i loved the sparrow races and then same
thing with the pod racers i loved that part of it um and then shooting up into space the the
once she gets up there it looked really really good and then the the the fight the fighting of
it the dog fights she was doing also i, I was like, okay, can we actually
get some good fight scenes in space, you know, in a ship cruising around with actual, you know,
mechanics that work in our, I guess, you know, realistic quote-unquote for space. But yeah,
to me, it looked super sweet. I'm excited. Yeah, there's a lot to love here. And I was
so much more impressed than I thought I was going to be. First of all, I love this new trend where every Star Wars game now just gives you a companion, whether it's a creature or a droid. Yeah, I think that's a really cool device because it allows the character to kind of talk and narrate and see how they feel in different scenes. And it is also really funny to just tell this creature,
Nick's,
Hey,
go push that button.
And then it starts like the conveyor belts and all the things moving.
And you can like,
it's almost like she can talk to animals,
Paul,
as we covered in our,
our squad cast episode from last Tuesday for our Patreon supporters.
Yeah.
I thought that was really neat.
And what I also really loved is so
the whole beginning of this trailer is like the main character working her way out of this base
it starts with stealth ends up being caught turns into a gunfight and then escapes but when the
mission's over there is someone who works for the empire who says hey um i know what you're up to you might be a threat to the empire
huh and then it gives you a choice to either offer a bribe or don't and the and i love having choice
like that in games oh yeah and in this trailer they say no bribe and then she's like well you'll
never leave this system alive and all of a sudden on all the TVs, it starts showing Wanted by the Empire with her face
on it. And it was kind of like the movie The Fugitive, where you get like Dr. Richard Kimball
on the run and he's in the newspapers and on the TVs. I didn't kill my wife. I don't care.
And I thought that was really neat where the game gives you choices, but then you also saw
how it kind of changes the world at large. And all of those things to me looked absolutely incredible.
I thought the combat looks fine. I don't know that the gunplay is really anything all that special,
but it looks serviceable. And the dogfighting, honestly, in my opinion, looked a little bit
better than Starfield. So all of a sudden, I'm pretty hyped for Star Wars Outlaws. Yeah. This is a good example of a lot of pieces that make up a greater whole in this case,
because you're right. I kind of picked on the gunplay a little bit. It doesn't look great.
And how many times have we seen somebody ducked behind cover shooting at somebody,
as far as that goes? But you take all this together. That's why I said,
this starts to feel like star Wars at this point. I mean, there is a speeder bike chase where you
are fighting other people on the speeder bike. You go up and you do dog fighting in space,
like all that stuff that to me feels like star Wars. It's not one aspect of it. It's everything
all put together, the characters, the the world i'll tell you what it
doesn't hurt that this game is absolutely gorgeous as well now we'll see if they dumb that down a
little bit you know i feel like they always do this like a game gameplay comes out and this game
looks phenomenal and then it's like two years later it's like half as good looking because
they go oh well nothing's going to be able to run this but this game is gorgeous too man so i
even coming off the the slight disappointment that Jedi
Survivor was to me, I'm really looking forward to this one because it touches on so many different
aspects that all look good to me. Yeah. And this had pretty thrilling sequences,
whether it's the speeder bike chase or even in the middle of the dog fight, like they start
plotting the course to go into hyperdrive, but then all of a sudden they get shot at.
So they have to like jump out of the way, but then all of a sudden they get shot at, so they have to jump out of the way.
But then it goes back to recalibrating, and then it goes into hyperdrive.
And those kind of sequences, to me, very much felt like what it is like to watch Star Wars, but you get to play inside the universe.
This one does not come out until next year, so we still have a long ways to wait but i was very excited by what i saw here and i haven't been really excited about a star wars game in a while
so this one just might might fit the bill yeah um before we move into our next story we do want
to let our listeners know about patreon support if you head over to multiplayer squad.com you can
sign up starting at five dollars a, and we have some amazing perks like
getting bonus episodes twice a month. We just released one earlier this week where we may have
debated whether you would rather know every language known to man or have the ability to
talk to animals. We do primarily talk about gaming, but there are also some other topics,
so please consider signing up for that. And once again, that's over at MultiplayerSquad.com. All right, moving off of Star Wars Outlaws, we also got a six-minute trailer
for Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. We have seen a little bit in the past. This trailer here
started out where they don't necessarily show a whole lot of gameplay per se, but it was a lot
of narration of the story
and they gave us quite a few peeks at what the world of pandora looks like of what the gameplay
is going to look like similarly to star wars outlaws i came into this with zero expectations
as well and um i'll say it it looks better than i thought it was going to and i think that josh has just poisoned me too
much against ubisoft um we have trashed ubisoft hard on this podcast they deserve it for things
like skull and bones skull and bones looks atrocious cry six i mean come on yeah the old
ubisoft formula the assassin's creed series has grown quite stale now we're going to talk about mirage in a minute maybe this will be the outlier but i think in watching this i just
kind of came to the realization okay ubisoft is still a company they're not all bangers but they
know how to pump out occasional good content i thought avatar actually looked kind of interesting
what did you guys think i this one really honestly wasn't that
much on my radar at all um it's you know it's avatar i still haven't even seen the second one
i saw the first one i liked it but as far as the game goes i was kind of lukewarm on it once i
watched uh the trailer and saw the different areas you can go through i mean there was a lot of cool
features that i thought were neat you know you go through. I mean there was a lot of cool features that I thought were neat.
You know you go through these areas.
And there's different tribes.
And I'm assuming probably you know north, south, east, west.
You know wherever the map's set up.
But there's different tribes that offer you different abilities that you can learn. Or you know develop through them.
Which I thought was neat.
And then you can get you know you can use the human weapons throughout the game uh you know
guns and rocket launchers and all kinds of cool crazy stuff or the typical you know traditional
navi weapons you know long bows and and uh you know some sort of like focus thing so it seems
really cool the features of that aspect and then you can get crafting and skill upgrades um you can go hunting and uh the thing that really
got me excited for it and and and made me think maybe i will get this is the uh there's an option
for a two-player co-op yes which is cool so i thought that was super super neat other than you
know the game looks beautiful the cool forestieras you know if you've seen the movie you know how
cool it looks so the option to to sit and play that with a friend or whatever, your kids or whoever,
and play co-op again, I thought that was really neat. And that kind of perked my interest for
sure. This trailer caught me off guard because I remember we covered this a while back and we
kind of went, yeah, we need to see some more about it. But this game looks really good.
I mean, graphically speaking, it's pretty darn impressive.
Yeah.
And then it just gets more so because it's like,
this feels like a full-fledged game.
I mean, Ryan touched on it.
You can use machine guns and weapons,
and the gunplay actually looks pretty decent.
Yeah.
And then if you want to go traditional traditional navi with your bow and arrow they show them like sliding along the ground and just shooting a big arrow straight into like a
flying hovercraft chopper and then it kind of starts to stagger because you just got hit by a
six foot arrow and i mean i i everything i saw on this was super impressive to me. They showed you flying around on the little dragon things.
I don't know all the Avatar lore.
It's very vertical.
Yes.
Yeah.
I mean, it almost reminds me of Anthem in a way where it's like you're just flying all over the place, man.
You're diving down waterfalls.
You're flying up to mountains and stuff.
Ryan mentioned you go to see another tribe, but these tribes ride the horses.
So now it's like you can learn from that tribe
and then tame the horse,
which you'll use in some aspect or another.
I think this game looks fantastic.
I will say after watching the whole trailer
and being really, really impressed,
I did at the very end get the,
oh, wait a minute, this is Far Cry,
but in Pandora. Honestly, if you watch the whole
thing and then you start to see some of where you're liberating bases and all that stuff,
it doesn't seem like it's a pure rehash, thankfully, but it's definitely drawing from
that Far Cry DNA. But I'm okay with that, dude. Far Cry, they're good games. They just started
to get too routine and they weren't
mixing it up enough and it became the annual release of whatever the Far Cry was. But there's
a lot that Far Cry does right. So you give me that in Pandora and I'm in. Yeah, I thought this
one looked really exciting. I really loved the fact that you can use the human weapons. So kind
of the story of this one is where you get kidnapped as a Na'vi,
and they're trying to brainwash you to fight against other Na'vi and convert you to the humans.
But then you somehow fall into a coma for 15 years with an abandoned outpost or something.
And so now you wake up and you have to reintegrate into Na'vi culture, which has
changed over the last 15 years. And the only thing I'll
say is that it's kind of the exact same story as both Avatar movies. I don't know how many times
it needs to be, oh, this is what it means to be a true Navi. And it's that the human pollution is
bad and we got to protect the environment. Yes, that's a fine message. I'm all for it. But it did seem
like, is this just going to be the exact same story that I've already heard multiple times in
the movies? I'm hoping that it'll be something a little more significant than that, or not
significant, but a little bit different than that. We got to have some really interesting
side characters, side missions, world building. It can't just be pollution is bad so i'm hoping that there's
a little bit more of a draw story-wise yeah releases releases on december 7th also thankfully
so we don't have december completely chock full of games yet either yeah at least not yet yeah
yeah all right well we're going to take a short break and we'll be right back all right guys we still have a little bit to talk about here with the ubisoft forward
so there is a game here that i know josh and i have commented on in the past called x defiant
this is really just the long and short of it is it's ubisoft's take on call of duty
uh in this we did not get any new gameplay. They basically just showed some
compilation footage of different streamers playing X-Defiant for a minute or two. But then we did
get to learn a lot more about how the game is going to launch and the plan for the first year.
So this game is going to be in open beta from June 21st to the 23rd, which means if you're listening
to this the day of release or the day after, you can still hop in and get a taste of X-Defiant.
The game is going to be free to play. It is set for launch this summer. And Josh and I already
said that we're quite optimistic about this one. We've kind of turned the corner with Ubisoft where
everything looked bad for just so long. X-Defiant, I think, might be really, really interesting. If nothing else, I think
it's a lot more fun to look at than Call of Duty. And if it's just Call of Duty with bright,
colorful skins and more interesting environments, I'm all about it. How do you guys feel about
X-Defiant at this point? I cannot wait to try this open beta because I think this game looks really, really good.
And I like having a shooter to fall back on when I just want to hop on for 5 or 10 minutes.
Or, hey, nobody's on playing anything. What am I going to play? My two go-tos are Rocket League
and Overwatch. And I'll be honest, I'm getting pretty fed up with Overwatch at this point.
And so having that shooter game that I can just hop into, play a few matches, it's new, it's fresh.
This game looks really good to me, man. I cannot wait to try the beta to see if it holds up in
that regard. But I love so many things about what I see.
I love the different classes, the abilities.
You can play... It is a fast-paced shooter,
but there is some tactical stuff involved with like,
do you go active camo or heals for your team
or stuff like that as well.
I'm pretty pumped on this one, man.
So I love that it's going to be free to play too.
There's zero commitment in that regard's going to be free to play, too.
There's zero commitment in that regard.
If you wind up loving it, of course they're going to have monetization.
And that's fine.
I don't begrudge somebody earning money on something in regards to this. But I love the fact that it's going to be free.
I can hop in at any point.
I'm really excited about this one.
Yeah.
I never played X-Defiant.
So I'm interested to see.
I'm happy to know that it is free to play so I can get on and check it out.
I mean, even with – I was always more of a Battlefield guy than Call of Duty.
But I did think some of the stuff looked cool to me, the active camo, the different abilities that you could do.
So that stuff looked neat.
The gameplay from what I saw, the little bits of the streamers did look pretty neat.
So, I mean, it's one of those things if you guys are on, I'm down to try it and check it out and play together because that's what makes those types of games fun anyways.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, I saw, is it in the world of Division or what is it?
I think it is in the world of Division.
Yeah, with some of the different factions and stuff.
Yeah, I love Division, so I played a ton of that.
So, yeah, that also kind of perked me up a little bit.
I love the options of different classes, so you can kind of perked me up a little bit and i love the options
different classes so you can kind of channel to what what your gameplay style is the best uh at
so yeah no i i'm interested to try it out it looked pretty sweet and uh yeah yeah i totally
agree i was gonna say the first time we covered it they i remember it was like they had the cleaners
from the division which those people all had like flamethrowers for their ultimates and stuff like that.
This game, it is, I mean, it's a run and gun shooter kind of game.
I mean, very much all a Call of Duty, but I think that they add enough stuff to it to set it apart.
And I'll be honest, the maps look great.
The gameplay looks smooth and fluid.
It just, it seems to be doing everything right that you want to see from a game like this.
And so, I mean, man, let's hope it has good matchmaking or wait actually isn't this the game where they said that matchmaking wasn't going to exist where they said i don't remember
if that was this or the finals because to me we keep getting news about both and they're both
free-to-play shooters so i'm not entirely sure i don't know how the matchmaking works. I think it's this one.
And they came out and said,
now I could be wrong on that,
but I remember them coming out and saying,
like the problem with MMR and matchmaking is,
is that you wind up with this kind of bland scenario
all the time where it's fun to be the guy
that's wrecking house occasionally, you know?
And sometimes you should come up against a guy
that's kicking your butt.
And I think that's what they said they're doing in this one.
So we'll see how that goes.
Yeah,
I I'm very excited to try it.
I love the idea of call of duty with a couple abilities,
but not,
not necessarily as sweaty as Valorant where you can't even peek corners.
So if it finds a good match between those two,
I'm excited.
They also have a very aggressive roadmap for the first year.
So the game is going to launch in what they are calling preseason, I'm excited. They also have a very aggressive roadmap for the first year.
So the game is going to launch in what they are calling preseason,
which will have 14 maps, 24 weapons, and 5 factions.
And then over the course of a year, they are going to add on top of that 12 new maps, 12 new weapons, and 4 new factions.
So every single month, you're going to be getting pretty major updates to this game,
and I'm excited to try it. I've played the finals a little bit. I think the game has a lot of
promise, but I'm a little bit more excited to try X-Defiant, personally. All right, and then moving
on, the last thing from the Ubisoft forward that I think we have to mention is Assassin's Creed
Mirage. We have talked a little bit about this the last few weeks, but we got video which takes Basim through
what I would say is a pretty thrilling mission in Baghdad.
You kind of get to see the whole mission
from beginning to end.
And what'd you guys think about this gameplay?
It definitely feels like we're back to the basics.
I loved it.
I was so excited.
Yeah, I was watching it.
I'm like like oh my gosh
it took me back to being like 19 years old
just playing it in my apartment you know like Assassin's Creed
the first one or second
I love you know he takes
off right away throws down that
stand or the shelf cart
area thing and then just boom puff of smoke
all the guys fly back and then he's running
along you can get
blow darts you can get sleeping blow darts and you just you see him he creeps in the weeds and then he he's running along you can get blow darts you can get sleeping blow darts
and he just you see him he creeps in the the weeds and then he's and then of course the guard goes to
check out the body and then you assassinate him from behind i'm like yeah yes perfect that is
that's the gameplay that i loved in the assassin's creed and then other games like that too where you
can put guys to sleep and then knock the other ones.
The one other thing that I thought was really, really cool is that there's a part where you can do like a sequence kill.
Yes.
Yeah, you can line them up and then you see like
it's almost like a ghost shadow of him through the areas.
You select each guy that you're going to attack
and then you start the sequence and it's boom, boom, boom
and you take out each one of them.
And so you can like plan these attacks when you're doing these kind of big assassinations where you've got a big boss and he's got a bunch of guards.
And so you've got to kind of take out a bunch of these top guys.
And then you can move down to the boss and attack him.
So I was so geeked out watching this trailer.
I'm excited and I haven't been excited for Assassin's Creed in a very long time.
I feel the same way,
man.
I,
I was very hesitant.
I've been,
I'm like you,
I've been down on the Assassin's Creed series forever in a day.
It's all felt the same and it's gotten too big and bloated and all that
stuff.
And they kept saying,
Oh,
well we're going to return to our roots.
And I went,
yeah,
right.
Yeah.
You know,
but dude,
this legitimately looks like they went back to their roots,
made it look phenomenal, made the gameplay look really good, added enough tweaks. Like you said,
that sequence kill. And it's weird because on the screen, there was a bar with little segments.
And so I think those segments are how many people you can kill in the sequence. And then you have
to spend those. And I don't know how hard they are to regenerate or whatever, but I thought that was really,
really cool.
They showed him throw down a poison trap because he knew after he
assassinated the captain or whatever,
that it was like the guard was going to come running.
So then the guard comes running and the poison explodes and then the guard
passes out.
It is runs right by him.
Yes.
Like this touches on everything that made assassins Creed.
Great man.
You know? And so I didn't want to get
excited for this because, again, we have trashed Ubisoft in a while. But I'll tell you what, man,
this is the kind of Assassin's Creed game that I miss playing, that I am actually really excited
about. And I hate to say this, but between Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar's Frontiers of Pandora,
X-Defiant, the new Assassin's Creed Mirage,
like Ubisoft.
Yeah.
Are you back?
Are you back?
I want you to be because I'm tired of trashing you all the time.
But me, I'm going to do.
We're skull and bones on that list, Josh.
No, skull and bones.
They're not perfect yet.
They're still getting over whatever disease they had.
And so they're shaking off some of that effects. But I'll tell you what, I love this lineup.
I love the fact that they look like they're not just regurgitating content and spamming 50 gajillion icons on a map. But Assassin's Creed Mirage, I think, looks phenomenal.
There's also one part that I thought was really interesting where he goes to climb into the
prince's palace or whatever it's labeled, and it immediately pops up like you're in
an area you're not supposed to be, right?
Like it turns red.
But then he drops in next to a group of women and starts making small talk with them while
the guards are walking by.
And I thought that was a really funny touch, like trying to blend in with the crowd as an assassin,
right?
Like that's kind of part of the whole thing.
So all of that,
I thought looked absolutely incredible.
They also showed like a job board,
which started the mission and the different missions have different parameters.
So you get like a bonus if you complete this assassination without taking any
damage or,
you know,
things of that
nature but yeah i mean guys we're back to just parkour running the rooftops doing assassinations
fighting your way out i mean it looks like a absolute blast we're gonna have to deep dive
this one i think yeah i'm in i'm in i'm in too i mean i i really liked what i saw in this one i
liked it they like like I said,
Ryan mentioned the blow dart,
but it's like you've got a guy,
he walks up and he's like,
hey, I've got some new tools for you.
And then you get to pick which one you want.
And they didn't show what all the different tools were,
but I'm like, I like this idea too
because maybe I just need to get away, right?
So maybe I get like a good smoke bomb
where it gives me a headstart on running from the thing. I i like that aspect i like the sequence aspect that they showed you know of
course they showed the dive into the cart of hay because that's an assassin's creed calling card
i did i did have to laugh at the dive into the rose bush oh that would hurt yeah i laughed at
that too because it's like that is not a good thing to dive into man he should crawl out and be like ow covered in scratches picking thorns out
of them yeah so uh but yeah this i i like you said the parkour looked really good um graphics
looked great gameplay looked good i'm i i don't want to get burned by ubisoft but i don't think
we are on this one either. No.
This one, I think this one's going to be as close to a guarantee as it is.
I hope so. There was another spot, too, where, like you said, the smoke bombs.
When he was running out, he throws that red smoke bomb down.
Boom.
And then the guards are all blinded, and he just runs past three of them and just, boom, takes out.
And then I saw this part where um
you can do like continuation kills so you have two guys you know obviously if you just nuke one
the other guard's gonna see you and they're gonna get alerted so you can kill the one guard and then
look over and target and throw the knife yeah paul just did the gesture you can throw the knife and
just hit the other one boom you took him out them out. You're still undiscovered.
And then you can carry on sneaking around and lurking.
But yeah, if you can't tell, I'm very excited for this game.
I am too.
What's more fun than playing a really fun assassin game?
To me, it's being an assassin and being a bank robber.
Those are the two that if you can make it run well, it's 100% up my alley.
I like this too for somebody like me
where I do enjoy some stealth,
but I don't want a fully stealth-based game.
I don't want my game to be 100% stealth.
So this works perfect for me
because it's like I get to do a little bit of stealth,
but then I get to fight or I get to run, you know?
And then I get that little mix of that
where it's not
just 100% of the time I'm creeping around and oh, no, somebody saw you mission over kind of thing.
Like, so I love the balance on this one. He pulled out that big old sword like that one battle when
you saw the boss fight, and then he just whips out the big old sword and then you can start
sword fighting guys and then just then sneak away. So, oh, man, it looks great.
So, yeah, rare praise for Ubisoft all around.
I don't know about you guys.
I felt like the Ubisoft forward kind of blew everything from last week out of the water.
I think the Starfield showcase is maybe the one instance where it was right up there with
this one.
But I felt like this really blew out the Xbox showcase and certainly the PC gaming show.
I can't believe I'm going to agree with you on this one,
Paul,
but you know what?
I have to,
I have to say good job.
It would be soft,
man.
Oh my God.
Hey,

This is like on par when I was referencing arc and I just typed,
I ate my poop and Josh took a screenshot and just started sharing it
