I'm all for taking a year off from the formula. Last year felt one-note with Mad Max, Batman, and AC: Syndicate all sharing that same style of combat.

It's nice to hear that, but since almost every Ubi game is practically the same but reskinned now, i'll see it when I believe it.

GreetingsfromCanada3388d ago

Far Cry, Rainbow 6, The Division, Assassin’s Creed, etc. Really all the same things, can't tell a difference.

Garethvk3388d ago

I think this is wise. The pressure is huge as look at COD. Sure more time would be great but your stock holders want a new game every year. So they added a third developer which allowed a game a year and gave the other two an extra year of development time.

itsjustexuma3388d ago

They just have to release Beyond Good and Evil 2 by the end of the year and that could replace Assassin's Creed this year

WiiWareWave3388d ago

Yeah and no bugs or glitches this time right?

Alexious3388d ago

In theory, taking more time should also translate in more polish. Then again, open world games will always have some bugs.

-Foxtrot3388d ago

Until you reboot it and give the series a meaningful overall story so it doesn't just feel we are jumping from location to location where that's basically the only "wow" factor of the new instalment I can't imagine people getting excited again no matter how long you spend on it

NovusTerminus3388d ago

It doesn't need a reboot, just another story arc so it's not just mindless locations with no real plot.

-Foxtrot3388d ago

Course it does. It's went no where and is going no where

They need to go back and filter out most of this First Civilisation stuff while having someone like Desmond to keep everything together

TFJWM3388d ago

@-Foxtrot (POSSIBLE SPOILER)I have a feeling Desmond is going to be brought back to life with the shroud in the next one...

A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo20h ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac20h ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo10h ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT6h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr6h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas1h ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Vits15h ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos4h ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS16h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran81d 16h ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

PrecursorOrb1d 1h ago

Kojima states the obvious lol

mastershredder23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake23h ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

__y2jb20h ago

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.
