Ubisoft’s Gamescom 2017 lineup is in ahead of the big event later this month.
With the help of former Red Dead Redemption lead designer.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was one of the best Ubisoft games in the last decade. For such an overused property as Mario, it actually felt really fresh! (Or Rabbids for that matter... and i never really cared about the Rabids b4 that) Maybe I'm partial too bc tactical rpgs are one of my absolute favorite subgenres.
I believe it's bc Ubisoft put a lot of trust into this guy. He strikes me as very genuine and passionate. I was glad that this game wasn't overloaded w microtransactions, just some nice DLC and a strong focus on really nice, refined tactical gameplay. I really didn't expect the game to be that good! I'm glad he got out from under the clutches of Ubisoft b4 they run him into the ground too. But I'll definitely keep an eye on what he makes next!
Following the creative director's exit in July.
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
