original text in german

Ubisoft soll bereits mit der Entwicklung von Revolutionsoftware begonnen haben (was zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ohnehin denkbar ist). Beim ersten Projekt soll es sich um eine Art Doom-Klon handeln. Dieses Projekt befindet sich angeblich zurzeit bei der kanadischen Niederlassung in der Entwicklung. Mit ersten handfesten Infos oder gar Bilder kann man aber erst auf der E3 2006 rechnen. Bis dahin heißt es abwarten...


english translation
Ubisoft is to have already begun with the development of revolution often commodity (which at the current time is anyway conceivable). With the first project it is to concern a kind Doom clone. This project is allegedly to time during the Canadian address in the development. On first strong information or one can count pictures however only on the E3 2006. Up to then means it are waiting...


which willmean i am guess that the game is running on unreal 3.0 since ubisoft is well know for using epic engines. take that mark rein lol.

I think Ubisoft should exclusively support Revolution next generation.

The less crap games on Xbox 360/PS3, the better. :D

Well logically, if a game is coming out on a Nintendo system, it has to be crap.

Look at the sales numbers. Sales don't lie.

Good games sell. Games on Nintendo systems don't.

It's not hard to see that therefore, just about all games on Nintendo systems are crap.

And if your games on one system are crap, you must be a crap developer. By this logic, no Ubisoft games should be on X360 or PS3, and instead should be exclusive to Nintendo systems.

I hope they mean a FPS and not a game like Doom. I´d like something more in the vein of PD or Half Life :-/

Do you work for EA or something?

Last I checked, EA was trying to buy Ubisoft. It wouldn't be good of me to bash a potential acquisition, would it? Unless, perhaps, I was trying to sabotage the stock value of Ubi... but one man can only do so much.

Nope, I'm just the rare Ubisoft-hating Xbot. Don't mind me.

Excelion said:
yeah, it must be really hard for them to not buy Far Cry Instincts, Brother in Arms or Rainbow Six when they're not even released on GC.

That makes them lucky, too.
 
It may have been. I don't follow stuff like that.

When a publisher says they'll be making a game, I never look into who's actually developing it.
 
Better translation (not that the first was terrible, but I dislike sub-par Spanish translations):

Ubisoft has recently confirmed their immediate plans with respect to the Revolution, a platform for which it will actively collaborate, based on their own statements after receiving a demonstration of the innovative controller for Nintendo's next console.

This information will be well received among fans of FPS, who see in the Revolution a hope for the genre insofar as gameplay is concerned, given what the unique features the controller will bring to the world of videogames. The project in question has already been assigned to Ubisoft Canada, who developed Splinter Cell and Beyond Good and Evil. The first details, along with the first audio-visual demonstrations may come during the next E3, held each May in Los Angeles.

Ubisoft was the best 3rd party developer of the gen. PoP, SC, BG&E...



Anyways, new fps, hmmm, XIII II maybe?

Since when were Ubisoft crap? Are Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil and Far Cry bad games?

It was already confirmed by Jeux-France here : http://www.jeux-france.com/articles_dossiers232_x05-a-amsterdam.html

- FPS for Nintendo Revolution
- Assassin for Xbox 360

So Ubisoft has actually 2 FPS for Nintendo Revolution in work :

- FPS for Nintendo Revolution (Paris)
- FPS for Nintendo Revolution (Montreal)

Splinter Cell 4: the secrecy will be revealed soon We could discover at the time of the press conference the first teaser of Tom Clancy' S Splinter Cell 4 on Xbox 360 planned for next spring in Europe, certainly one of the plays most awaited on the console of Microsoft. The play will profit from an important innovation compared to the series, certainly on the level of the gameplay, but Ubisoft did not want to reveal this detail for the moment (even with the pressure of Microsoft...). The editor is also even developing an exclusive FPS in Nintendo Revolution in his buildings in Paris, as well as a new title entitled Assassin on Xbox 360. Nothing official for the moment.


nice to exclusive fps from ubisoft. go nintendo
 
Heck I think Ubisoft is one of the most overrated developers out there and I still think saying they're all crap is ridiculous. I thought PoP and BGE were both decent, but extremely overrated, but Splinter Cell was genuinely a great game. They make some crap, but I don't see how you could think ALL of their games suck.

A man should be allowed to have one developer and/or publisher to universally lampoon, regardless of other gamers' and/or critics' opinions of said developer/publisher. (You know, sort of like how all you Nbots can't stop dumping on Rare.) I choose Ubisoft for their unique blend of crap Tom Clancy shooters and should-have-died-with-2D platformers.
 
Ecrofirt said:
Well logically, if a game is coming out on a Nintendo system, it has to be crap.

Look at the sales numbers. Sales don't lie.

Good games sell. Games on Nintendo systems don't.

It's not hard to see that therefore, just about all games on Nintendo systems are crap.

And if your games on one system are crap, you must be a crap developer. By this logic, no Ubisoft games should be on X360 or PS3, and instead should be exclusive to Nintendo systems.

:lol good logic
 
Nintendo actively going after exclusive content from competent western developement houses? I'll believe that shit when I see it.

But there are so many others worthy of contempt. Like EA, Eidos, or acclaim

You're kidding right? Ever hear of Capcom? Or Konami? Or Namco?

Not that PoP:SoT, SC, and BG&E were bad games...
 
Nice. I was wondering who the first third party dev to make a Rev third person shooter would be. Ubi is a nice choice.
 
jeuxfrance commenting on their own news after i fleshed it out hahahhahah :lol :lol :lol :lol



At the time of X05 in Amsterdam, we had obtained information of official sources concerning the development of an exclusive FPS in Nintendo Revolution in the studios of development ofUbisoft with Montreuil in the East of Paris, Ubisoft was one of the first developers to have discovered Nintendo Revolution in the world. Rumours evoke already a play with a gameplay which consists in handling a sword. It would seem that a second FPS is also under development at Ubisoft in its studios in Montreal according to several sources on Internet. One of these plays would be Killing Day which one could see on PlayStation 3... To follow.
 
An exclusive FPS before the system is even out is already more than Gamecube got during its entire lifespan (I dont count Geist)

Hopefully the sign of more to come.
