GamesIndustry: "Ubisoft Quebec leads the second-screen dev effort, sees tablets soon reaching parity with consoles."
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
No shit. Otherwise they wouldnt have used it in almost all their games at E3
The Wii u controller is my only second screen. Gaming on a phone is just lame IMO. I'm not a fruit ninja guy. A casual session is playing a couple levels of Quantum Conundrum on my plasma TV.
I'm die hard Sony but I gotta say Nintendo has some great potential with the new controller for Wii u. I love gaming hard on my LED TV playing last of us then climb into bed and being able to emotionally recover with mario. Storage wars on in the back ground and playing on the controller is sweet. If I get into it I hit one button and its on the plasma. I really hope Bethesda changes their stance and ports the next fallout to Wii u. Having a always open pip boy would be extremely badass.
Since they are the only big 3rd party company releasing games for the WiiU, they have to believe in second-screen gaming.
lol instead of posting a wiiU gaming pad pic
It's pretty fun doing stuff like that on Wii U or Vita/PS3. So, I think it definitely has a place. It may be another generation before we get there, however.
