E3 2010: First Look At Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood MultiplayerTue, Jun 29th, 2010, 2:55 pm (EST) BY NICK
Assassin's Creed has always been a single player experience. Throughout the series, the main focus has been between delivering an interesting and engaging storyline mixed with gameplay ideas that would only work in a single player environment. Or would they? Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will be the first Assassin's Creed title to include a multiplayer mode which Gaming Union had the honour of playing at Ubisoft's booth at this year's E3. Though the demo was particularly short, it's clear what Ubisoft are doing and how much thought has been put into making the multiplayer modes different from the usual deathmatch settings found in almost everything else. |

E3 2010 Preview: UbisoftFri, Jun 11th, 2010, 1:32 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
While Ubisoft haven't been most popular publisher in the PC gaming arena recently, they have had a much better reception on consoles. Recent releases such as Assassin's Creed II, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands have given Ubisoft momentum heading into E3 next week. What can we expect from the French publisher? Well, we know Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, R.U.S.E., Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and HAWX 2 will all be at the show, but there is still a great deal of mystery surrounding Ubisoft's lineup, including a heavily rumored new Driver title. |
Draconian DRM Will Only Hurt PublishersFri, Jun 11th, 2010, 1:05 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
Digital Rights Management (DRM) has been getting a lot of attention in the PC gaming community as of late. Efforts from certain publishers to crack down on game piracy through increasingly invasive DRM measures have started to create a backlash. In particular, Ubisoft has been vilified for its “always online” requirement for many single player games. While publishers have every right to protect their property, hurting legitimate consumers in the process is unacceptable - a more reasonable approach is required. Many of these problems arise due to console ports that fail to recognize the PC as a distinct platform. Games built from the ground up on PC are far better equipped to reasonably safeguard against piracy without taxing legitimate buyers. |
