Kind of not good news... it looked like a whole lot of fun, and this probably means there's something wrong with it... but at least it will probably be cheaper?

Oh goody. Lets make a survival game, make it kind of sucky, then NOT make plans to release it on the PC. Cause its not like that sort of game thrives in certain PC-only audiences.

Argh! Stop saying Ubisoft sucks because they don't have faith in the game. They never said that!

Moral of the story: when using a non-english source, find someone who reads that language to avoid spreading false rumors.

Interesting, and good to know. It's still a cause for concern, though; getting the game to fit into XBLA size limits means content has almost surely been cut. Unless the plan is to go episodic? If so, consider me hopeful that it doesn't come out on the PC. I've had my fill of that crap.

We'll see what, if anything, Ubisoft has to say about it.

I did. I call it the "You Guys Translation Service." Thanks, you guys!

I think this is a great initiative. They have sunk money into it and they should try to recoup the cost as best they can. I think they should release this on the PC and offer up some modding tools so people can improve it beyond what they have done. You can't blame them for not having faith in a product, which despite the updated portion of it, they definitely do not. They can save themselves a lot of money with going by digital distribution only. That is why indie develops do it. I wish I knew more about the game though.

Really? I think it sounds very interesting. (Or did, at least.) Sort of a Mirror's-Edge-meets-Fallout kind of thing, maybe. Besides, it's hard to judge it a waste of money when you don't know how much money it will cost.

Dammit not the game I was thinking. Does anyone remember a game where you are on a island full of Zombies? Can't remember the title now.

Why do you develop something you have no faith in? Confusing, especially since its the same studio which did AC, if I'm not mistaken.

I didn't forget, and was just waiting for something new to pop up about it, though I admit I thought it was a dead project after all this time. Either way, I'll be sure to keep an eye on it- I'll be happy as long as "Digital Release" means "Steam Release". I like all my games in one place.

It wouldn't be very unlikely either, most ubi games are available on Steam already.

Im not even a graphic whore but that looks shocking. It looks like they got Vice City and shoved it in a new game.

Maybe that's why they won't launch it full retail, because people like you won't buy it because it doesn't have enough polygons?

Fuck yes... I favorited the now famous Youtube trailer back in early 2009. Can't wait to see what has been going on all this time.

This is from the guys that release BEOWULF, ASSASSIN'S CREED, FAR CRY 2, AVATAR and JUST DANCE.

I expect this game to be worse than ET.

I actually like that this is going to be a digital only title. If this is going to be on xbla/psn, it'll be $15, which is a great deal. And there are plenty of great and memorable games that digital only (castle crashers, braid, battlefield 1943, etc). Glass half full, fellas.
