Ubi appears to be taking multiplayer serious in Watch Dogs. The bit I found particularly interesting:

Or you can grief someone – ram into them with a car when they’re trying to stop a crime, for example.

Watch Dogs – Hacking into Multiplayer - UbiBlog - Ubisoft®Just like the Chicagoans in Watch Dogs, we were caught off guard when we were hacked in the game. This time, though, it was another player who was after us.

Because I completely forgot all about it. But good news, its still in development.

Despite being announced in 2011 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key has confirmed to IGN that Rainbow 6 will now be headed to next-gen platforms.

The original Mirror’s Edge gave you the illusion the city was open, with multiple routes to take when transversing the roof tops. It pulled off the illusion on non-linearity really well, but letting me run anywhere I want in a world as beautiful as Mirror’s Edge makes me want to play this so much more.

The way we approach these things is definitely kind of – they’re connected in weird ways. And definitely for Remedy fans, there will be a lot of familiar things from a Remedy game.

I can picture it now. At the end of Quantum Break, the camera pans away to reveal the entire thing was a show, written by Alan Wake.

Continuing from my last post about the Xbox One reveal, I wanted to talk a little more about what happened yesterday at the Microsoft E3 press conference.

More specifically, what didn’t happen. Originally I gave Microsoft the benefit of the doubt when they raised a number of suspicious red flags. Always On DRM? How will used games be handled? Why does the Kinect sensor need to always be on and watching me? Given that the Xbox announcement was only two weeks away from E3, naturally I assumed th

David Hayter (Original voice actor for Solid Snake):

“Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. Like New Coke!”

A lot of people are under the impression this is all an act, and Hayter’s voice may very well appear in the game. I really have my doubts, but Kojima has shown the lengths he’s willing to go to mess with gamers [http://www.psu.com/a018925/] …so anything may happen.

I’m kind of livid myself, I just see him as the overly-entitled gamer saying ‘I deserve this because I want it!’ I was saying earlier on Twitter ‘Halo: Spartan Assault only on Windows 8 devices! That Russian guy should port it FOR GREAT JUSTICE!’ Like James though, he’s going to do what he’s going to do and it’s kind of impressive but trying to justify it morally really irks me.

For great justice, indeed.
