Ubisoft has released a new video for Assassin’s Creed III that sheds some light on what it takes to redesign one of gaming’s most iconic franchises from the ground up.

I tell you – Ubisoft is playing a joke on us. Remember when they complained about the PC piracy rates being too high? Well, instead of focusing on the F2P market – something that was stated by the company’s CEO – the French publisher and developer has released a PC version of I Am Alive and has confirmed to RPS that they’ll be ditching the controversial ‘always-online’ DRM system.

Facts: we love Assassin’s Creed and we love parkour. Therefore, it was to be expected to share this video. YouTube’s member ‘devinsupertramp’ has created an Assassin’s Creed film in which Ronnie Shalvis is dressed up as Connor Altair – a costume that was made by Devin’s friend Allison Dredge – and showcases his parkour/free running skills. This is a great parkour video and for the love of God, don’t try this at home. Enjoy! Continue reading Assassin’s Creed III In Real Life – Parkour/Free Running Showcase→
Splinter Cell fans, the moment you’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. Ubisoft has released a new trailer for Splinter Cell: Blacklist that focuses on the stealth gameplay that will be featured in this Splinter Cell game. The level that is showcased here is the same with the one that was demonstrated in this year’s E3 and shows a completely new way to complete it. Now we know, the AI seems a bit off, but then again that’s how things were in previous Splinter Cell games. Yes, the dog should have noticed Sam when he jumped over the wall and yes, the enemies have no peripheral vision. Let’s hope that Ubisoft will tweak the AI and that they’ll feature similar stealth routes in every mission. Enjoy! Continue reading Splinter Cell Blacklist – Ghost/Stealth PlayThrough→
