Just when E3 2012 was looking to be a bit of a letdown, Ubisoft unveiled Watch_Dogs, the new title from Ubisoft Montreal that looks set to prove to the world that current-gen still has a ton of life left. With incredible graphics, a refreshing take on free-roam action games, and an exciting narrative, Watch_Dogs raises the bar for innovation and creativity in an industry driven by derivative sequels and an overabundance of shooters.
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.
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…
"The gorgeous and incredibly unique aesthetic could almost be considered next-gen"
If only he knew it was running on PC and won't look as detailed on console.
Um what about Last of Us and Beyond? It didn't 'single handedly' save current gen gaming.
Yes, because The Last of Us, Beyond, Tomb Raider, maybe Halo 4, and Assassins Creed obviously show us that the current gen is dead right? /s.
Feel free to add more amazing games to this list, proving that this gen is not dying yet. Or disagree and give me a reason why.
if only people's usernames reflected their thought process...
Okay Logic I think calling Last of Us an Uncharted clone and Beyond just an interactive movie just shows the level of ignorance you have despite the amount of bubbles you have or your name. QD already have said they have move beyond just the interactivity of Heavy Rain and calling Last of Us an Uncharted clone because it looks like Uncharted is really stupid.
OF COURSE it will look like Uncharted you idiots. ND made Uncharted so OF COURSE it will look like it. Is every Halo game a clone because it looks like the last one? Why does Quantum Conundrum look like Portal. Because it is a clone? NO! because it was the same company that made it.Is Fallout 3 a clone because it shares similarities to Oblivion. No! So stop the Last of Us is an Uncharted clone crap.
