A big hit with the more casually inclined of gamers, Just Dance 4 shook up the events of Ubisoft's conference with a performance from Jason Derulo and some very big fans of the series as well. Even though the predominant amount of people who tuned in to watch the conference will care little for Just Dance, its presence on the floor merely illustrates just how popular the series is with the general public as a whole, with its appeal reaching far beyond what titles like Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six can achieve. The big reveal for the franchise this evening was the implementation of Just Dance Unlimited - a streaming service that allows players to experience new music and dances to expand the vanilla game when it releases. (At the cost of a subscription of course) Dancers can opt out of this experience however, as the main game will come pre-packaged with a plethora of chart-topping tunes to get down to that weren't featured in previous releases. Happy gamers can get dancing this October 22nd, and can even use their smartphone instead of a camera add-on to join in too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgtj-p8etus
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
