The boss of Ubisoft Toronto, Jade Raymond, announces the company is set to unveil the studio's first project which has been labeled as a "Triple A" title.

It appears the game will most likely be a new Splinter Cell game and not a brand new IP or series based on what was hinted in the announcement.

Quote:
“We are about to announce our first big triple-A being developed by the studio,” she told CVG. “I’ve got to say I think it’s going better than I could’ve imagined. I’m really amazed at the team we’ve put together and what we’ve been able to accomplish and I think Ubisoft is pretty excited too. Soon we’ll find out what everyone else thinks!”

Back in 2010, the studio announced it was working on its first title, an installment in the “Splinter Cell” franchise, which Raymond confirms the studio is ”100% focused” on. Furthermore, Raymond denies any involvement with a new IP at this time, saying, “We’re not actually working on a big new IP yet within the studio. It’s one of the mandates, and we’re definitely starting up some things in that direction, but we’re not working on a big new IP yet. Right now we’re 100% focused on Splinter Cell.”
Ubisoft created the Toronto studio in 2009 and promoted the producer of the Assassin's Creed series as the boss for the studio. While the studio's is currently helping out Ubisoft Montreal with the new Rainbow Six game, this "Triple A" project would be the first full title they are developing on their own.

You mean they're not Capcpom?

Captain of Fun 03-10-2012 02:38 AM
I hope they keep the Conviction style gameplay for the new Splinter Cell. I know some hardcore fans didn't like it, because it was more mainstream gameplay (i.e. dumbed down), but I thought it was a lot of fun. Must have spent hours playing through deniable ops missions. It's just one of those games that made you feel like a total badass.

One thing I would change, is that enemies need to get a little nervous when you start taking out their comrades. It's kind of silly when an enemy is yelling out that sam is a pussy and going to die, when a dozen of his friends are lying dead around him. It was even more noticable since I played it right after Arkham Asylum which actually does have enemies who get scared.

At only 15 dollars, I could definitely see this being a fake.

People are tripping over UMvC3X, even though it seems like it'll be what they wanted UMvC3 to be - a DLC expansion.

Whatever man, I wanna see those fucking characters. I take it this time there will be fan faves across the board.

If this is true.

KaosDarksol 03-10-2012 02:51 PM
Megaman should have been in the game from the beginning and it is fake but wouldn't put it past capcom anyways

Yeah, no way would Capcpom charge less than 40 dollars for one of their expansions.

Crytek to announce 'spectacular' console/PC project in April

'It's the best of this kind of project we've ever done,' teases Crysis dev

Crysis dev Crytek is set to announce a "spectacular" console/PC game next month, the studio's told CVG.

Speaking in a GDC interview last week, Crytek's GM of games, Nick Button-Brown teased that the soon-to-be-announced game will be unveiled in April and is "the best of that kind of project we've ever done."

The confession came after the developer decided to focus on free-to-play and its first mobile game at the San Francisco event.

"There are so many things I can't talk about," Button-Brown told CVG, stressing that the studio's still dedicated to triple-A development.

"A big part of our business is big budget console and PC games. We are doing all these other things, but they're on top of that and we're doing them because they're interesting.

"We still want to deliver the highest quality that we can, wherever we go," he added. "You know about Homefront, you know about Ryse. We are working on another project... [laughs] all three of which are looking really good."

Pressed for more detail, the games GM continued: "The other project looks absolutely fantastic - I mean, genuinely the best of that kind of project we've ever done.

"It looks spectacular, the team are doing really, really well and it's just really nice to see the team really enthusiastic about what they're doing. They're really happy.

"We're going to carry on doing those games. We like doing mobile games, we like doing free-to-play, but we also like blowing things up in a visually stunning style."

Last month an EA job ad confirmed it's working on a new title with Crytek, following its role as publisher of the first two Crysis games.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com...VG-General-RSS

So, any speculations?

I'm hearing people speculate that it could be the long awaited TimeSplitters 4, but I don't think Crytek would hype up a TimeSplitters game like that. Keeping it a secret and claiming that it's the "best kind of project they've ever done", but I'm hoping I'm wrong with that.

I've been waiting on TimeSplitters 4 for years now.

The Rogerer 03-12-2012 04:44 PM
It won't be TimeSplitters 4

#BROKEN Hasney 03-12-2012 04:49 PM
Meaning it won't blow people away when they announce it. You think TS4 and almost anything is a step down from that.

Cool King 03-12-2012 05:16 PM
Yeah, I won't be surprised if it's some kind of COD style FPS war game. I'm sort of expecting it to be anyway.

If it is something like that, it'll just be a massive disappointment to me. :-\

LoDownM 03-12-2012 05:35 PM
If it's Crysis 3 or Timesplitters 4, I'll be happy.

Microsoft announces small changes are on its way in regards to Gamerscores as Xbox Live Arcade titles will be getting an increase from the standard 200 points possible to now a 400 points possible per arcade title.

No changes are expected to be done to retail games which will keep the 1000 points as a max and to DLC games which will still keep their own points and kept together with their retail counter-part.

Quote:
Starting next month (April 2012) all new Xbox LIVE Arcade games will have the option to increase from 200 to 400 Gamerscore points, with the addition of up to 30 Achievements. Even better, this Gamerscore increase will be required in all new Xbox LIVE Arcade games starting in June 2012.
It is very unlikely the new changes will carry over to older titles but have been confirmed to be the new standard for all XBLA titles after March.

The move is being done to please Gamerscore chasers who have felt either arcade titles provided way too few points or kept demanding for more increases.

Why?! I should probably read the article.

That at least explains why mine went from 20000 to 10.

Mine is 35G. I unlocked 1 in ME3 before I realized it. Hope it either gets added or lets me do it again. I will absolutely die if I miss out on "Mail Slot".

Kotaku says that MS says it should be fixed and, if it's not, try redownloading your profile.
I'll be trying that when I'm online later tonight.

I'll try it now. brb ttfn

Back to normal, although I think I lost Mail Slot forever. The in game counter shows 10/10 kills completed, but I don't have the achievement. If I was going for 1000 I would be very upset.

Try and get 10 more. See if it will reset and reunlock.

It's okay. My year long hiatus from the 360 curbed my need for achievements.

According to Ono, the two part set for the Versus series involving Street Fighter and Tekken will be taking a lot longer than originally expected.

Either Capcom was assuming the entire set would be finished by a certain date or at least assumed Namco's turn with Tekken X Street Fighter would take about the same amount of time Capcom needed for SFxT.

Instead the project might have added more years from its original estimate based on Ono's request for a status report from Namco which contained absolutely nothing. It was later revealed Namco did not have any basic design documents nor any idea of how they want their version of the game to be made.

Quote:
There’s a reason for this. Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono told GamesMaster in its April issue that Namco Bandai is “way behind schedule” on the project. Actually, the company has yet to make “a single design document”.

“It might take a really long time to come out because they haven’t made a single design document yet, so they’re way behind schedule. But we definitely trust them, so whenever that game gets out the door we think they’ll have a really good thing.

“Just to reiterate that point, they really haven’t made any progress on the game at all. It might be 2018 before the game comes out for all we know, and in the mean time, we want people to enjoy Street Fighter X Tekken. Hopefully we can make it past the Mayan end-of-the-world apocalypse at the end of 2012 and then maybe they can get around to making the game.”
While Capcom was aware of no details regarding Namco's project and knew Namco wanted to wait until after SFxT was released, Ono's request for a status report was the first time Capcom wanted any real details regarding Namco's project.

Ono was joking, it is part of the kayfabe between him and Harada. TxSF revealed some assets months ago (Chun-Li stance and Shoryuken animation tests).

That source kinda missed the punchline big time.

Emperor Smeat 03-14-2012 06:43 PM
The current CEO of Epic Games and creator of the first Unreal Engine, Tim Sweeney, hints or implies there might be one last major console generation before the mobile market claims dominance over the video game industry.

He implied the console market has around 6-8 more years left of its dominance or around 1-2 more generations of consoles before mobile devices can both match and surpass anything capable on a console.

Quote:
The big difference between a console and a tablet is the console can consume 100 or 200 watts of power, while the tablet consumes one or two or three or four watts. That's really the limiting factor of performance there. Just on the grounds of the laws of physics, you'd have to think it is three to four hardware generations, or six to eight years before the current highest end desktop or console performance you can achieve becomes achievable on tablets. To me, that really defines the role of consoles in the world. They define the highest and most impressive graphics experience anywhere in the industry. They focus on delivering teraflops of computing performance in a way that a portable device or an economical computer really couldn't, despite sheer focus on that one aspect.
He feels the future of the industry might be following Apple's way once the mobile market claims dominance. This would mean a lot more quicker advancements and "generations" replacing the slower life cycles of consoles.

Quote:
Apple is by far the leading phone provider in terms of profits or any other objective measure of how well they are doing. A company in that position could just rest on their laurels and keep making more and more profit from each new phone. Apple doesn't take that approach. Rather, they push the technology forward as fast, or faster than possible to go from lower resolution displays.
He also feels web browsers in devices will become a new standard in gaming and touted how even the Unreal Engine 3 was able to be modified to work on current web browsers.
