TG writes: With the arrival of the PS4 on November 15th, next gen gaming will officially hit the market. Between now and then, we will be taking a look at several different third party and first party developers who are working hard to make next gen gaming the best possible. Ubisoft is the first third party developer we are going to look at and we will be checking out four of their upcoming next gen releases.
It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
It's been almost 10 years since we first stepped foot in Ubisoft's extraction shooter, The Division and it looks like the developer will celebrate by giving fans a chance to replay the experience in "definitive edition" form.
Back in 2023, Ubisoft announced it would shut down The Crew's servers on 31st March, 2024, which would make the game unplayable due to its always online requirements - even those with physical copies of the game were to be locked out. Needless to say, many were unhappy with Ubisoft's decision.
Some, though, decided not to just leave it there, and set about reviving the game on their own time and dime. Now a little over a year later, the fan lead Crew revival project - known as The Crew Unlimited - is gearing up for its release on 15th September.
The companion app feature seems pretty cool.
Can't wait for second-screen stuff. Sometimes I just want to be mildly entertained by my triple-A gaming.
The cool thing about this is that whenever a bar is set for a generation, this early, it is of course raised up within the first year. And then again, and again, and again before the console goes out. That makes this awesome news :)
Ubisoft is setting the bar? Those are current generation games, not next generation.
*Sigh*
