The main topic of conversation following Ubisoft’s statement revolves around how leaks have a peculiar knack for dampening enthusiasm. A user quipped, “Did they accidentally leak a complete build or something?” recalling similar incidents with cherished franchises. Some even reminisced about turning off their console to avoid spoilers, implying that sometimes, not knowing can be blissful in the gaming world. However, for others, the excitement for the game seems to begin at an initially low level. “Who’s excited for this?” another user asked, demonstrating a growing cynicism towards the franchise.

One recurring theme in comments is the perception of the PS5 Pro’s cost, which some users find exorbitant. For instance, one user stated, “It feels like it’s outrageously expensive.” This sentiment mirrors a widespread belief that the price doesn’t align with the performance improvements offered.

The series “The Day” doesn’t commence as expected on the title day, but instead, we find ourselves eagerly anticipating its unveiling. Instead, it begins on a different day, far in the past: October 28, 1962. The nail-biting end of the Cuban Missile Crisis has just occurred, and an American Air Force Colonel seeks solace with a drink at home after this close brush with nuclear catastrophe. His wife implores him to go to bed, to which he reveals how precariously the world had teetered on the edge of destruction. In reality, it was one man, Vasily Arkhipov, on a Soviet submarine carrying a nuclear warhead, who refused to give authorization for deployment when the sub lost contact with Moscow and believed they were under attack. One man! This individual has been referred to as “the man who saved the world.” Our Air Force Colonel understands how fortunate we are, yet also recognizes that the world will likely find itself on the brink of nuclear war again in the future. He ponders aloud, “What if the wrong person is in control next time?” This thought is a chilling one for him, and us. Before retiring to bed, he turns his room light on and off a few times, perhaps symbolizing how effortlessly the world could be ended or a thought process unfolding. The ensuing episode will reveal more about this intriguing opening scene.
