Gamesradar: Ikaruga, Treasure's legendary shmup, is a damnably clever game. How clever? Clever enough to have its central game mechanic ripped off nine years later by a game of a completely different genre. That game is Ubisoft's upcoming downloadable platformer Outland, and it looks rather natty indeed.
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…
Daddy WANT NOW!!!
Day one download.
Games like this should get the big budget, full retail release treatment. Amazing, creative ideas instead of FPS/TPS number 123203183901.
Oh well, I'm sure I'll buy this.
What does Patapon have to do with this game? I don't see any resemblance... and I'm an expert
Looks great, hate the narrators voice though.
