Ubisoft E3 2017 Conference

Over the last five years or so, Ubisoft has become the master of the E3 press conference. With the always-charismatic Aisha Tyler introducing the publisher’s upcoming lineup of blockbuster games, past shows have given us first looks at games like Ghost Recon: Wildlands,

Watch Dogs, The Division, and Rainbow Six Siege, all of which came as surprises and put a bow on the end of the show. We expect Ubisoft to have a few surprises in store for this year’s show as well, so you’re not going to want to miss it. Here is how you can stream the Ubisoft E3 2017 press conference.

What to watch for

Ubisoft’s 2016 was relatively light, with Watch Dogs 2 filling the void left by Assassin’s Creed’s absence and Steep arriving just before the end of the year. This year has already been huge for the publisher with the launch of both For Honor and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and we expect to hear more information on those games’ post-launch support during the show. For Honor will likely gain additional maps, characters, and potential single-player storylines, while Ghost Recon: Wildlands will likely get more cooperative story content and a more substantial competitive multiplayer component.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins is a sure thing for the show (it already appeared at the Xbox conference). Far Cry 5, which is rumored to launch in September, could also be seen.

The same goes for South Park: The Fractured But Whole, which has been missing and action following a lengthy delay — the game was originally planned for a late 2016 release.

Our “big surprise” for Ubisoft’s press conference is the return of Splinter Cell. One of Ubisoft’s flagship franchises, it hasn’t received a new installment since 2013’s Splinter Cell Blacklist, and developer Ubisoft Toronto has mostly acted in a supporting role on other projects ever since. Actor Michael Ironside, who voiced protagonist Sam Fisher through the first five games, is also rumored to be returning to the role.

NYT Crossword: answers for Friday, November 8

The New York Times has plenty of word games on its roster today — with Wordle, Connections, Strands, and the Mini Crossword, there's something for everyone — but the newspaper's standard crossword puzzle still reigns supreme. The daily crossword is full of interesting trivia, helps improve mental flexibility and, of course, gives you some bragging rights if you manage to finish it every day.

While the NYT puzzle might feel like an impossible task some days, solving a crossword is a skill and it takes practice — don't get discouraged if you can't get every single word in a puzzle.

The PS5 Pro holds the key to the PS6’s success

The hero of Shadow of the Colossus stands in a temple.

When the PlayStation 5 Pro was revealed, the big buzzword to come out of the presentation was PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This was PlayStation's "secret sauce" intended to sell the $700 upgrade to new customers and existing PS5 owners alike. Similar to AI upscaling seen in technology like DLSS, PSSR allows games rendered at a lower resolution to be upscaled using AI to appear more detailed. For the PS5 Pro, this means removing the need to choose between a performance mode that prioritizes frame rate and a resolution mode that sacrifices frame rate for a clearer picture.

PSSR is the first time any kind of AI upscaling has been used on consoles ... and will be key in PlayStation's success for its true next-generation console.
Sidestepping the graphical arms race
With rare exceptions, new game consoles have mainly sold themselves based on providing a graphical leap above its predecessor. This was clear as day going from 8- to 16-bit systems, and perhaps at its peak going from 16-bit to 3D, but has since hit a level of diminishing returns. PS5 games are undeniably better looking than PS4 games of the same scale, but the differences are in the margins.

This is a good week for strategy game fans subscribed to Xbox Game Pass because November's first new additions to the service all fall within that genre. Two of them are real-time strategy game classics from Blizzard Entertainment, and the other is a strategic take on an arcade classic. If you're playing on a console, these additions may not mean as much to you, but for Game Pass subscribers with access to a PC, these recently added strategy game games are well worth your time.
StarCraft: Remastered
StarCraft Remastered Announcement

The original StarCraft is a monumental release for Blizzard Entertainment. It gave the studio a third pillar franchise alongside Warcraft and Diablo, was one of the first major esports games, and set a standard that most RTS games after it have tried to follow. In 2017, Blizzard released StarCraft: Remastered, updating the classics' visuals, audio, and online features; that's the version of StarCraft that has come to Xbox Game Pass. While there are more approachable RTS games nowadays, PC gamers should check out the original StarCraft if they've never played it before to better understand the foundational building blocks of the RTS genre.
