Doesn't excuse it, fuck that, and they can fuck themselves either way.
Not excusing it, just saying its not something inherent to the game industry, its just a factor of it being a popular medium and the rise of the internet lowering the barrier for communication.

Good to know. They can still go fuck themselves.

Free DKC Returns update on Switch, and performance upgrade on Switch 2.

It deserves to fail. It's a slop game with shitty character design and game design that's just a copy and paste of any other hero shooter out there.
Honestly, it does look way better than Concord. And it is also F2P.

But no, i am not interested in a new Hero shooter either. Particularly ones that don't even try to bring in something unique.

Obsidian Entertainment made 1 good game and that was only by direct comparison to Bethesda's version of the same game.
What ?
They made KOTOR 2, NWN2, both PIllar Games and Tyranny which i all enjoyed a lot. Enough that i would call all of them good games (for their time at least). Additionally New Vegas, Stick of Truth and Pentinent are generally well received, even if not my cup of tea.

I personally am disappointed with Avowed, but thir overall track record is still pretty great.

But they haven't cancelled Beyond Good and Evil 2 despite not hearing anything for like 10 years.
I liked the original Beyond good and evil and played it through several times.

I wasn't impressed by either trailer.
But as they obviously restarted development from scratch at least two times, those trailers don't matter much anymore.

Currently Ubisoft is in a lot of trouble and grasping at straws. They have nothing promising coming up and most of their IPs are currently mishandled.

Typical Ubi-shit behavior.

You know, all things considered, it's kinda miracle that they made the SW: Outlaw and that Avatar game. They seem to be resistant to make new games that doesn't bring in the big bucks, especially for IPs that they abandoned or has never worked with before.

AAANNNDDD here we go again with the layoffs! It's always MS, EA, or Ubisoft that starts this in the industry, aren't they?

Well its clear ubisoft needed a major reset, but sadly odds are that the best remaining employee will be let go, while the people that need to shown the door will be in charge of the reset.

Good. Screw remake culture. Far more cynical than it is in movies. Make new games, *******s. The leaks didn't look good anyway.

'There is no longer a need to protect her’: Farah may be stronger in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, leak suggests

https://www.videogameschronicle.com...ersia-the-sands-of-time-remake-leak-suggests/

The upcoming remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time may make the Prince’s companion Farah a stronger character, a leaked document suggests.

Slides from an internal 2024 Ubisoft presentation deck were revealed in a YouTube video earlier today, including motion capture clips, alpha gameplay shots and concept art.

The video was quickly taken offline following a copyright claim by Ubisoft, but not before The Game Post was able to report on its contents.

One of the key focuses in the presentation is Princess Farah, who appeared in the original 2003 version of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

In the original game, Farah would accompany the Prince through most of his quest and would also be involved in battles, but would often call for help when in trouble. If an enemy killed Farah, the mission would be failed.

According to the leaked presentation, Farah returns in the Sands of Time remake and once again accompanies the player, with no plans to make her a playable character.

However, the presentation appears to stress that there will no longer be a requirement to save Farah during battles, suggesting that she should be able to take of herself now.

Farah fought alongside the player in the original game, but the player had to keep an eye on her to make sure she didn’t die.

“In this new game, combat has been modernized, blending familiar acrobatic attacks with new advanced acrobatic moves,” it reads. “Time powers have been enhanced to offer a wider array of options in battles.

“The combat system and enemies have been revamped (new ways to defeat enemies, improved boss fights). From now on, Farah is a true ally, capable of fighting independently with her bow and executing cooperative attacks. There is no longer a need to protect her.”

When it was announced in September 2020, the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake had been in development for two and a half years at Indian studios Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, and was planned for release in January 2021.

Following a negative reaction to the game’s reveal trailer, however, it was delayed several times, and in 2023 it was announced that Ubisoft Montreal, which made 2003’s original Sands of Time, had taken over development duties.

The remake is now planned for release in 2026, with Ubisoft stating last year that its Toronto studio (Far Cry 5, Watch Dogs Legion) had come on board to collaborate with Ubisoft Montreal on the project.
