Well thats great news, Maasive are a good dev hopefully Ubisoft puts them to good use.

Although I love Massives strategy games they always have amazing tech in their games I really hope they try there hand at something else one day.

Read it all and acknowledge the emphasis on the swearing

Assassins Creed is awesome, and it worked very well.

Forgot about the BG&E 2 announcement, but is Ancel still at Ubisoft?

You must be dead inside to have loved Double Agent, that was a complete piece of shit, I have WAY more faith in Conviction if it gets back on track to normal Splinter Cellery.

Next Pop is nasty as. Homage is good, Homage is nice, Still Alive trailer is basically the ‘Children of Men’ intro and Ubisoft like their homages, but PoP just reeks of taselessly stuffing all the things that have made artistic games artistic into a tired IP, that could have been left to rest in peace.

It’s a travesty, and cel shading is SUCH a fucking cop out.

I liked Double Agent. I loved it, in fact. I also think the next PoP will be excellent, just not as mind-blowingly good as first thought.

They have also kind of announced a BG&E sequel, Splinter Cel is getting a complete makeover and more will be revealed early next year as to that game. There’s that Still Alive game, Jade Raymond’s new one (Ass Cred 2) and probably a lot more.

If you can’t find something to look forward to in all of that you’re dead inside…or something.

Bah it’s Ubisoft, they will be working on Catz 12 next week.

Rememeber the days when Ubisoft produced quality…

Ahh…

BG&E
Sands of Time
SC: Chaos Thoery

This generation, nothing but shit, they even killed Double Agent, no Amon Tobin Soundtrack and an awful unresponsive interface. New Prince of Persia looks fake and god damn awful, and there’s been nothing in the claiber of BG&E from Ubisoft at all ths generation.

I think the undeserving Assassins Creed backlash taught Ubisoft peope can’t appreciate good innovative games, so just make some shovelware.

Now EA is taking the reins. Man, I never thought I’d see the day.

This generation has been the generation of immensely unexpected stuff! This generation has been so out there and wild, I will compile a list… One day.

I hope this means the WiC expansion is getting completed soonish, I was rather looking forward to it.

Really pleased for them. Met them at SSB and they were a nice, self-effacing bunch.
