Dealspwn writes: Ubisoft Toronto head, Jade Raymond, has pointed towards the indie scene as a hotbed of new concepts as the games industry prepares to make the jump to a new generation of consoles, suggesting that increased power does not necessarily equal innovation.
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…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
Wow! Jade you're fine as hell and you make perfect sense.
What? A woman is the head of a division of Ubisoft? No way. Everyone knows there are no women in gaming. Obviously she's an effeminette man trying to keep women down.
On Topic: Only fools think that graphical fidelity is important. There will come a point where graphics won't be able to go any further, then what? Story and gameplay are vastly more important than visuals.
Hear that pc gamers. Keep all the high specs to yourself because in the end they don't matter.
I'm so upset that Olivia Munn was being promoted as some FAKE gamer girl meanwhile a REAL smart and sexy Jade Raymond got no publicity.
Well I'm happy to know about her now!
Her point of view is correct as many PC Indie titles have shown Great innovation while using like NO POWER like the current Hits FTL, Darkwood, or Valley without Wind 2.
But hopefully those great innovations in gameplay will be given a BOOST to appeal the graphics whores like myself.
(Hoping Star Citizen and X-Rebirth break my PC)
eventually the physical limitations of hardware will catch up. You can only draw instructions/logical circuits so small 'physically'. we got 22nm manufactory tech for the current ivybridge processors for example. there is only so much smaller we can go physically. So unless we find a new means of manufactoring and drawing instructions onto a dye, the processing poweress and graphic fidelty that people want will come to a hault. pretty much every process will. Not quite reached that barrier yet, but it'll come :P
