John, Alex and a freshly returned Rich deliver a 'come down' Direct that's a little more relaxed after the mania of the summer showcase events. The team bemoan the state of the Ubisoft Forward stream quality, ruining the visual quality of some great games, then move onto the discourse surrounding the Gears of War: E-Day cinematic. John's excited about the UE5 Riven remake, while Alex is even more excited about Sweeney's Prophecy - a brand new store leak promising a range of intriguing PC releases. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:58 News 01: Star Wars Outlaws demo analyzed! 0:28:11 News 02: Assassin’s Creed Shadows unveiled 0:46:24 News 03: Clarifying the Gears of War cinematic trailer 0:54:34 News 04: Epic Games Store leaks upcoming games 1:00:34 News 05: Riven demo released 1:08:28 Supporter Q1: Has any console generation been more boring than this one? 1:13:12 Supporter Q2: Was Microsoft showing Series X or PC footage at their games showcase? 1:19:49 Supporter Q3: Is delaying a physical release the best option for modern games? 1:26:35 Supporter Q4: Will you make an updated PC Gaming on a Budget video? 1:34:01 Supporter Q5: Do you have ambitions for growing your audience?
