Ubisoft continues to impress us as arguably the only major AAA game publisher that covers such a wide variety of franchises that differ in theme, tone, budget, and scale. Bethesda, for example, leans heavily upon first person immersive experiences, while EA has historically depended on more traditional AAA properties outside of sports and extending a few olive branches to smaller studios. Ubisoft’s E3 press conference is the only media briefing that you don’t quite know what to expect. And what Ubisoft had to bring to the show this year was one of the publisher’s best examples of this.
An independent UK developer says it’s been forced to announce and postpone its game on the same day, and lay off more than half of its staff, due to the sharp downturn in investment in the games industry.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
The good old days of Driver and Stuntman. Unfortunately both games are long gone.
Hopefully this gets Embracer group back on track
