Could it be? How badly is Ubisoft going to botch this one? Find out at PAX East!

No

NO

FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What's the fucking point of this? Next gen doesn't care about M&M. Old fags will probably hate it (popamole etc.). So why fucking bother and rape the franchise? o_O

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

It'll be fiiiine.

Same reason why it happened with every old franchise rape ever. Math apparently says that brand recognition, as minor as it may be considering this generation has no idea what it's about, is going to get them more money than going with a new IP.

Then again, April 1 is coming so there's still some hope left.

Imagine the M&M equivalent of HoMM6.

Imagine the M&M equivalent of HoMM6.

if M&M9 is the equivalent of HoMM4, then M&M10.... HOLY SHIT

 

[majestik12]

Ubi are not the worst people around. And M&M was probably one of the most accessible dungeon crawler series. So X might turn out quite an enjoyable good-for-what-it-is popamole RPG.

 

[Infinitron]

in before developed by Obsidian

 

[Crooked Bee]

Am cautiously curious.

JVC's still at EA though.

 

[Jaesun]

Since UBISoft does not make PC exclusive games, moving this for now.

In before shitty 24/7 online DRM. r00fles!

pax east = furries and kotaku. and penny-arcade.

doubt it will be anything of interest. if it's for PC/nextgens... I'm expecting a single-character RT arpg. I can imagine that Ubisoft guy going "ech guyz we need ze skyrim gamez ja??"

if it's turn/party-based... ipad game for the masses.

 

[ohWOW]

God damn, penny-arcade is one of the shittiest things internet has spawn. I hate it so sincerely much.

 

[Hobz]

"ech guyz we need ze skyrim gamez ja??"

What kind of accent is that supposed to be ?

fuck do I know

I added the 'ja' because I thought he was german but apparently he's french.

 

[abnaxus]

Why are they finally stepping out of the Heroes universe?

 

[nublard]

What about the Children of the Void project that's been trundling along at:
http://www.thegaminguniverse.org/forum/index.php?board=211.0

IIRC, CotV staff members said that had a green light from the publisher for their project.

Is Ubi hijacking it / supporting it / destroying it?

 

[Hobz]

Yeah that's what confused me. He his french indeed, and so is Ubisoft.

 

[Angthoron]

pax east = furries

Well M&M7 and 8 had dragons and minotaurs in the party so sounds about right.

 

[visions]

7 had neither dragons nor minotaurs in the party. Only 8 did.

Not even the recruitables? I might be forgetting things.

They do make PC exclusives, quite a few actually. But it's incredibly unlikely that this is a proper M&MX.

 

[octavius]

Rather amateurish to misspell the name Migh and Magic.
