They showed a truck fatality straight from T2 ditches-chase scene in an earlier teaser and it was so sick. Thanks for sharing this. Looks awesome and the audio FX for his moveset are too good; I love the various metal, polyalloy clangs.

Yep, I seen that.
Honestly it doesn't look as good as the Ghostface DLC.

The issue is, obviously, the T-1000 is impervious to physical strikes and cannot be killed by anything other than molten metal... so the idea of fighting it with punches, kicks, and it being killed by a fatality.... there's going to be very humorous montages on YouTube.
 
You guys have maybe heard both EA and Microsoft are in talks with Ubi for piecemeal portfolio acquisition. This came out after shareholders learnt Ubi has held undisclosed talks with the publishers.

Full read here.

In a statement seen by IGN, Juraj Krúpa, CEO of AJ Investments, claimed Ubisoft is "horribly mismanaged by current management," and wants a "clear roadmap for recovery" from the senior team to address "declining shareholder value, lackluster operational execution, and failure to adapt effectively to market trends."

I wanted to share read because I think we've nailed it here so many times in calling out Ubi's for obvious mismanagement. I'm such a big Division fan but these guys absolutely suck, lol.

Related, one thing I've read that has me wincing is apparently in any talks to date of Ubi outright acquisition, CEO Yves Guillemot requests to remain in situ. Dude...wow, let go; you and your fat cat brothers ran the company aground and set the hull on fire. None of you game nor have any heart in the space. Tone-deaf all around.

The sad thing is that I don’t feel that any of Ubisoft’s IPs, whether we’re talking Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry or any of the Tom Clancy stuff would be in “good hands” with either EA or Microsoft. I mean maybe if Microsoft handed Far Cry off to say Machine Games they could do something good with it, but EA taking over any of Ubisoft’s portfolio would basically be just this:

TIL there's an anchor power up in Mario 3.
 
@Valhoven



The most ridiculous fatality on the T-1000, and that's saying something because the vast majority of them would just delay him by two minutes.
 
Wreckfest2 Early Access Trailer -



Edited streamer preview of Early Access -



As an experienced Wreckfest player, as of now, it looks to be too similar to the original I'm looking forward to seeing its evolution over the next months and years.
 
Tencent acquires 25℅ of Ubisoft's new gaming subsidiary.

More micro transactions but no more ugly female lead.
 
Warner Bros. has cancelled the Hogwarts Legacy expansion, it's reported. The Definitive Edition planned alongside the story expansion has also been cancelled.

Only grapevine on why but I'm thinking it's getting absorbed into the sequel, which will sell a lot more than any DLC. The HL sequel was confirmed in production in February by WB, to add.

I thought it was weird to cancel the DLC for such a high selling game but you're right it makes sense that it would just be absorbed into a sequel for the game.
 
So there's a Minecraft movie incoming with Jack Black or is this a joke? I learnt about it around April Fool's but now I don't know if real. Lol.

Wow, must have done very little marketing; first I’m hearing of it. I also can’t imagine there’s much of a story outside by the numbers feel-good or comedy?
