The process of aging beloved video game heroes is becoming common place these days. Especially in Ubisoft titles where gamers have been shown older versions of Sam Fisher and, coming up in Assassin's Creed Revelations, a much older Ezio. On the other hand, other hit game franchises have upcoming series reboots that will reintroduce fans to a younger version of the game's protagonist such as Tomb Raider's Lara Croft and Devil May Cry's Dante.
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.
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…
Honestly, I love the idea of getting to play an older Ezio
