Ubisoft and Techland are set to release their newest off road racer this month on the 30th with Mad Riders. It looks a lot like Techland’s previous off road racer, Nail’d which was a total blast. Use a huge selection of ATVs and Buggies to fling mud and complete insane jumps across 45 tracks and 3 mulitplayer modes. With up to 12 players online it should make for one heck of a ride. All of this for the price of a pizza its a no brainer!! Check out the brand new video below!
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen
If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?
Follow the Leader.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Anyway, trailer looks very good (a bit dark but hopefully that's just a problem with the video), and I'm glad this is coming as an XBLA release instead of full-priced retail game, cause the brilliant Pure also suffered a bit, sales-wise, for releasing at full-price and not really finding an audience because of it...
Will have to wait if the gameplay holds up to the graphics, but first impressions are positive.
