Hasta La Gadget!

We know that Ubisoft has plans to release Assassin’s Creed on an annual basis, which some aren’t exactly too thrilled about since it does feel like they could be rushing out a game for the sake of it. However Ubisoft has recently stated that they will not be releasing any Assassin’s Creed game if they feel that it is not good enough, and will have no qualms in delaying it until it is fixed. This is a response to some who felt that last year’s Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed 3, was a bit rushed due to the numerous bugs and glitches that were found within the game.

According to a statement released by Ubisoft, “If we think we’ve ended up with a 70 percent Assassin’s Creed game, we’re not going to ship it. That damages the brand. I’m not going to give you the names of products, because you know them as well as I do, but if you start to make games at 70 percent, even with a big brand, eventually people are going to change their mind about that brand. They won’t want it anymore.”

 While Ubisoft was not explicit in naming names, chances are they could be talking about EA’s Battlefield 4, where the publisher is currently looking at a lawsuit over the game’s bugginess, which was a stark contrast from the confidence EA exuded when making statements about the game prior to its release. In any case hopefully Ubisoft and other developers will learn from EA’s predicament.

Fans of Assassin’s Creed 4, here is some good news to help you start the day right – the first DLC for the gaming franchise is made available already, and do bear in mind that this DLC will concentrate on just the multiplayer aspect, so do not get too excited if you prefer to fly it solo most of the time. The DLC, known as Blackbeard’s Wrath, will see the introduction of a trio of new characters to the roster, where they will obviously include the notorious Blackbeard himself, accompanied by a pair of rather stereotypical ethnic characters.

The other two choices apart from Blackbeard would be the the Chinese and Aztec Assassins. One of them has been given the name “The Orchid,” while the other is better known as “The Jaguar”, and without having to let you know which is which, you would already be able to figure out the owner of the respective monikers. Just a quick note – folks who already have the Black Flag Season Pass, you would not need to fork out a single cent for the DLC. As for the rest of the masses (meaning those who own a PC, Xbox or PlayStation console), it will cost you $2.99 a pop.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag has officially been launched on every platform under the bright, gaming sun and has been played thoroughly by gamers who picked the game up on their platform of choice. If you happen to complete the game, you may find yourself randomly hunting big cats on a beach somewhere in order to find something to do with the game until some kind of DLC is released. Well – you won’t have to wait too long as Ubisoft will launch Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag’s first single player DLC, called Freedom Cry.  (more…)

The world of video games have certainly come a long way since it first enthralled the minds of kids and adults alike, and we have moved from CGA graphics to modern day Full HD interpretations of the real world. In fact, Assassin’s Creed 4 is said to render at 900p, which would have been unthinkable of just half a decade ago, and we also have word that there will be a future update which will boost this to native 1080p, now how about that? This would truly help you maximize the use of your Full HD TV in your living room, wouldn’t it?

Ubisoft has also revealed that players are required to download a title update which is coming shortly after the release in order to enjoy the full 1080p native resolution. Heck, I am quite sure that without the title update, most folks would already be taken in by the stunning visuals when playing the game on next-gen consoles, and it would be pretty difficult for the untrained eye to tell whether there is any difference between 900p and 1080p when playing. Apart from 1080p resolution with the title update, it will also introduce a new anti-aliasing technique which is touted to deliver an even cleaner, clearer and more brilliant moving image.

Movies that are inspired by video games? Mortal Kombat did not fare too well on the silver screen, and recently, we have heard that Temple Run might actually be turned into a movie as well thanks to the folks over at Warner Bros. Well, it seems that Temple Run is not the only game to receive the movie treatment in the near future, as 20th Century Fox too, wants in on the action by adapting Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed and the Independence Day sequel. It will surely offer a far more solid backdrop for a story compared to Temple Run, but we have just received word that it will delay its silver screen debut. Instead of kicking off on June 19th, 2015 in the US, it has been pushed back to August 7th, a date that right now, remains unchallenged.

Will this particular title be a hit when it finally arrives? Who knows, as with Prometheus and X-Men star Michael Fassbender acting and co-producing the movie, it might on track for a stellar release. Basically, do you have much faith in movies that were spawned because of a video game inspiration? I mean, Doom did not do too well either, despite having the pulling power of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
