If it weren't for Tom Clancy's Politika, 2008 would mark the ten-year anniversary of the famous Tom Clancy game title prefix - and with the intellectual property rights to the man's good name securely in pocket, Ubisoft celebrated those ten years at their Ubidays 2008 press event, broadcast live from the Louvre this morning. Following a brief montage honoring titles ranging from the original Rainbow Six to the latest Splinter Cell and Advanced Warfighter, Ubisoft showcased the future of the franchise with live demos of HAWX and EndWar.
Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. was a series that showed promise, but after 2010's Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2, all we have is backwards compatibility.
I remember buying Hawx2 back on PS3 after Microsoft bought exclusivity of Ace Combat6.
So to fill that dog fighting space I bought Hawx2, a very basic game that only had a gimmick of evasion that was overused if I remember correctly. I never even finished the game and still own it and my super slim ps3 so who knows I might pop it in one day and see if I can feel the need, I he need for speed.
The PlayStation Network is back again for its weekly sale which currently features games from the Tom Clancy franchise like the recently released Rainbow Six Seige and Splinter Cell Blacklist.
The sale has a variety of titles spanning across the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita. The sale will be starting today and will run until next Tuesday 11:00 am. This is the time for gamers to give the tactical Rainbox Six Siege shooter a chance as you can save up to 45%.
Forget discounts,If they want to compete with EA Access, they need to bump up the AAA Games that are on the PS Store and on PS Now. There weren't a lot of games on PS Now that interested me, especially for that price point.
Let's take a moment and think about this..
Sony, I love you, but take notes! EA Access has a lot of extras that sound great if you’re looking for a new loyalty program, that blanket 10% off digital video games will definitely save subscribers some money if they’re big fans of Electronic Arts’ video games. Users who purchase a brand new Electronic Arts Xbox One title a month will break even on that first game, saving $6 off a $60 purchase.
PSN store trying to compete with EA Access? What nonsense!
Total different things!
And they need to bump up the AAA games on the PSN store? What? All the AAA games can be bought on the PSN store.
And no, PS Now is also not trying to compete with EA Access, again something else entirely...
And no, EA Access is not good value at all if you do not live in the US! They give 10% off on digital game purchases, MSRP of games is €70, 10% off means they are €63 but I can buy physical copies during initial release for between €50-55. Then there are a gazillion sports titles for free that I have no interest in. The games I'm interested in I already buy so don't need free copies a year after their release. The only nice thing about it is the 10 hours early access, that's it!
Ubisoft have today announced that Tom Clancy’s EndWar Online has completed its Alpha and is kicking off the Beta Test phase. The Closed Beta will start on September 1 and will run until the beginning of November and will come with two brand new commanders on each side, a brand new PvE mode called Special Operations, support for multiple characters on an account, a new VIP system and tons of additional improvements.
