Ahead of Ubisoft's pre-E3 press conference, AusGamers had a chance to go hands-on with an early build of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and writes:
"And the word “options” here is poignant. Because while traditional AC pillars remain in traversal, stealth, combat and more, there’s a greater emphasis on decisive -- and divisive -- action. For example, a new option is Conquest Mode -- here, the player tackles a new Nation Power system (given there are multiple nations you encounter throughout Ancient Greece and the Aegean Sea) where you work to sabotage and weaken a nation’s power (naturally), and when ready, based on decisions you’ve made through the earlier-mentioned conversation and choice combinations, you can enter Conquest Mode -- a true 150 Vs 150 soldier battle where you also join the fight on the battlefield..."
A fullscreen pop-up ad appeared in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for some players this week.
Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.
Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.
The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.
"Start screen, cool."
Uhm, no. Start screen very much NOT cool either. There really need to be new laws implemented banning these companies from shoving ads down out throats at every opportunity they see fit.
For free to play which is a market of games needing monetization through different venues. In those games this stuff is fine by me. But when you pay ..20, 40 ,60, or $70 that's when it is not okay to any degree.
That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
