Who do you want to play Sam Fisher?

Ashunderfire864358d ago

George Clooney is my top pick, and he is at least 8 years younger. Pierce Brosnan is still good I comment about him on my post without knowing that you comment about him first.

coolbeans4358d ago

Just dye my hair black, give me a personal trainer to help me put on 20-30 more pounds of muscle, and you're good to go. :)

Ashunderfire864358d ago

George Clooney would be great for the role, did you see him in the movie The American? Maybe retired Jame bond Pierce Brosnan. Both man in their 50s still have that action movie feel in them.

HaMM4R4358d ago

if pierce brosnan played him, it would just be james bond with a different name.

avengers19784358d ago

If Sam is older go Bruce Willis

TGF_Zero4358d ago

George Clooney or Pierce Brosnan my top pics.

"Jake Gyllenhaal, Shia Labeouf"

:|

Is this guy high

No No and No

Paradicia4358d ago

They should go for a fairly unknown actor that actually looks like Sam.

jamesensor4358d ago

Sometimes people post here gaming news related to the games themselves and they get reported for not being "gaming related". Now this article has 7 approvals and it's about a movie based on a game lol way to go. (I don't really care that much, I'm just pointing out the incoherence)

Hicken4358d ago

It's a movie based on a game based on books. Is this even Ubisoft's decision to make? Wouldn't they have to get the OKAY from Tom Clancy first?

jamesensor4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Probably everyone gets a share of the cake, they just have to come to an agreement where all parties give a go on this.

Zovfreullia4358d ago

I say Daniel Craig or Clive Owen.

daggertoes834358d ago

It will not be someone who has played James bond. Pierce to old and Craig is doing bond right now. Splinter cell producers would not want people to think James bond while watching the fim. So no James bond actor.

Ashunderfire864358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

"Pierce to old and Craig is doing bond right now." Heck Bruce Willis(57) is at least 2 years younger than Pierce, and still have action movie feel in him:

Pierce can still do it. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger(64) and Sylvester Stallone(65) still have it in them for the next Expendables 2:

I guess your never too old to be in a action movie LOL!!! Don't get me started on Tommy Lee Jones(65) and Morgan Freeeman(75), because that is as far as it goes.

Ubisoft say AC Shadows protagonists will be "romantically attracted to different types of people"

Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.

Hugodastrevas2d ago

That should please everyone I'm sure...

RpgSama1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.

Crows901d 14h ago

Or even modern day accuracy.....

Lexreborn21d 13h ago

You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.

So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.

VenomUK1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

This story has cracked me up so much! Bravo Ubisoft, bravo! 🤣. So last week everyone was upset that in the long-awaited first Assassin’s Creed: Japan game the protagonist is black. But NOW he is also LGBTQ+ ! It’s like the Ubisoft creative team sat around a table and said “How can we best impress our Kotaku/IGN/Polygon friends and antagonise gamers? Let’s make it woke x 100!’ And then they all silent clapped!

Just you wait until the Star Wars: Outlaws details come out, there better not be anybody complaining about Kay Vess’ dating preferences and the gay droid armies.

Christopher1d 12h ago

It actually is.

Japanese were very Greek in their sexual experiences.

lodossrage1d 12h ago

Lexreborn2 is right

Go read up on Japan's feudal era homosexuality and bisexuality was a very common thing in that time.

I just have to laugh because the same people complaining about this are the same ones crying about wanting "historical accuracy". When it's clear most of the whiners don't even know history themselves.

Christopher1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Facts don't care about downvotes, btw. You either claim to understand historical accuracy or you just admit you don't like the stuff people did throughout history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

thorstein1d 7h ago

Japan had no Christian stupidity about sexuality.

That's where your nonsensical puritanical view comes from: the Abraham's faiths.

It's feudal Japan, they don't believe in your religion's made up nonsense.

I mean, if you're going to embrace a particular viewpoint, you should at least be aware of where it comes from. Most of the world doesn't care about your ideals.

In those days, they certainly didn't care about your religion.

Get over yourself.

RpgSama1d 6h ago

All of you guys missed the point, I even said I'm very sure they did it ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate. Stop defending this, we all know why they did it and who they want to pander, it's not out newfound respect for history.

lodossrage1d 5h ago

@RpgSama

Nobody is defending anything.

People are just pointing out the fact that after they just cried about the game not being historically accurate, when they SHOW they're accurate, they cry about it because they don't like certain parts of history

Not to mention you contradicted yourself RPGSama. You just pointed out you said they "ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate". Then turn around and accuse them of pandering and/or having an agenda. Those two things are opposing statements

Cacabunga1d 4h ago

Dumbest decision ever.. always online was a pass for me but now not even for free I’ll try it..

LordoftheCritics1d 2h ago

It's made by Ubisoft Montreal.

Obviously we'll be allowed to bang anything that moves.

RiseNShine1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Yeha pretty sure.

H923h ago

People actually telling you that Japan had sexual deviancy which is correct however what's hilarious is that they will act as if it holds the same moral value that the LGBT community holds today, oh the things men used to say about themselves when they are attracted to other men, it's not empowering in the least bit

senorfartcushion21h ago

It was more common to be attracted to the same sex before the crusades.

Tapani19h ago

You are completely lost on Japanese history. Japan was one of the most liberal places in the world, and in many ways still is. You can slice and dice it from your western hubris and whatever point of view, but the reality is that history tells great stories about freedom of choice and people not being judgemental on this island. Also one of the reasons I want to raise my family here, no need to have those whatever Western woke bullshit here, because everyone just respects each other without using all that nonsense.

Geezus, just make a good game… holy sh*t this is becoming insufferable.

Crows901d 14h ago

Oh yeah!!!! What about being inclusive???

I'm sorry
..please replace the word inclusive with stupid.

notachance1d 10h ago

If they truly aimed for inclusivity they’d make the protagonist an Ainu tribe, this is just Ubisoft getting comfy with Sweet Baby Inc as always.

Hofstaderman1d 12h ago

You asking UbiSoft to make a good game? This is not 2002.

thorstein1d 7h ago

I thought you crybabies wanted "historical accuracy." Now that your going to get it, you're going to cry more.

PRIMORDUS1d 7h ago

It's past the point of retarded, everyone seems forced to do this bullshit now in games. 😑

Barlos1d 2h ago

Hell no. A good game or film is secondary now to the agenda and the 'message'.

It's not enough to be simply entertained these days, there has to be an overarching real world narrative. I mean look at Dr Who as a recent example. Disney have completely destroyed it all in the name of 'diversity'.

senorfartcushion21h ago

You sound like you don't have a very active sex life ,😅

CrimsonWing6921h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Are you projecting? 😝

senorfartcushion20h ago

It's the only thing that explains the incel crap. They can't simply be angry virgins who don't get any, so then a lack of a sex life i.e. a dad of three or something, is also a good additional explanation. They're either lonely and don't get any or too busy to get any. There's a horrible news for sexual control with incels, and they're angry because they simply aren't the right people to achieve that control. They're weaker animals.

notachance19h ago

dude’s too busy commenting on other people’s sex life to actually stay on topic.

That or he’s angry but didn’t have half the brain needed to refute back so he went for the classic ad hominem fallacy.

senorfartcushion18h ago

Notachance

It's a fact that remains true. The only way it can't be true is if humans were not greedy and heavily reliant on procreation.

Your username is fitting.

CrimsonWing6914h ago(Edited 14h ago)

dude, let’s be real, you’re on a video game news site going into the comments section and taking time out of your life to go to war with people you think don’t f*ck. You sound as much of a virgin as any incel does.

Let’s be real, bub you’re just as pathetic as the rest of them. Anyone who would look at this who doesn’t waste their time on a video game news site or video games in general probably thinks the only thing you f*ck is your crusty ass pillow.

C’mon, man. Anyone who f*cks doesn’t immediately go into a comment section claiming others have no sex life. It’s just one of those things if you are getting your d*ck wet. It just comes off like you’re projecting in hopes to god nobody figures out you can’t get any, so you try to flex, even though you’re completely full of sh*t.

I mean, that’s the only thing that makes sense to me 😅.

I take my hat off to you good sir. Brilliant.

Laskin1d 12h ago

Thanks… I was originally going to write Samu-Bi but then I realized it was right there already so it works better

darthv721d 14h ago

Is that genuinely a selling point for people?

RpgSama1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

They sure as hell want to see if it is, time and time and time again.

VincentVanBro1d 13h ago

You have to understand they’re incapable of writing a good story so this is the best they could come up with

thorstein1d 7h ago

Well, after last weeks crying about historical accuracy. Now Ubi days, " Oh, okay, historical accuracy: here you go."

Now you're saying you don't want the accuracy? Can you guys just make up your minds?

notachance1d 5h ago

Many entertainment medias do this nowadays because in an effort to boost the so called “EGS score”, investment companies such as Black Rock stipulated contracts that obligated fund recipient to conform to certain inclusivity standards, either by themselves or consulting with agencies like Sweet Baby Inc or Gaymerx.

notatallsurprisinggg1d 5h ago

It's a genuine click-bait snippet to rile up people like you to push traffic.

Profchaos1d 2h ago

Sweet baby told them it was

Barlos1d 2h ago

They can't help themselves. This path leads to failure. Every single time. But there's no stopping this ESG DEI train. If you don't buy it then the developers will say everyone is racist hompohobes. They will never, ever look inwards and admit that hey, we made a mistake, we gave people what we decided they wanted, not what they actually wanted. They'll blame the fans when it fails.

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

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.

enkiduxiv9d ago

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

excaliburps9d ago

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.

shinoff21838d ago

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

Kornholic8d ago

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.

Aphrodia8d ago

YO dont' talk bad about the General. There'll be problems...

isarai9d ago

You were never the leader bro 🤣

shinoff21839d ago (Edited 9d ago )

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

Ubisoft's Recent Antics Have Me Fearful For The Sands of Time Remake

Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."

thorstein37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*

Chocoburger37d ago

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.
