"Too old for this sh**?
Being a massive fan of the franchise since day 1 of the first title, I anxiously (but professionally) grilled our presenter of the game after our behind-closed-doors presentation at E3 2012.
The answer is reasonable, but fans still may not be happy."
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.
I think the game will be fine, it'll just take some getting used to as the author says.
I love Ironside. His gritty sardonic tone cannot be repeated.
I'll miss him :(
I think there could of been a way for Ubisoft to get past this problem...I don't know how myself but it can't be impossible.
A younger actor huh....I wonder if really it was just cheaper to get a new actor to do it instead. I'd be ticked off it that was true, he might not be the action star he once was but he still might of been able to pull it off.
Richard McGonagle is 65, older then Ironside, and he does all the motion capturing for Uncharted...I mean of course he dosen't play Drake getting involved in almost every action scene but still he gets his fair share of the action while acting it out.
Ironside had menace and sarcasm down pat.
I guess with less subtle gameplay comes less subtle voice acting...
That does stink but maybe the new motion capture tech will make up for it and make the game that much more realistic.
