"The art of deception can be pretty slick if it’s played to the right extent. An espionage-based movie, for instance, will keep our attention if it has a hero who’s a master of con games, or an extraordinary twist midway through that changes everything you’ve come to realize in the film. Ubisoft has adapted the art of deception into its latest game, the real-time strategy title R.U.S.E. And while it has some interesting concepts behind it, the general flow of the game and lack of interest in characters keep us from being just as intrigued as we would any given chapter in the Bourne trilogy."
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.
that stinks...i was hopping that this game was goingto be good :(
the characters aren't important.....it's WAR WAR.... TANKS WAR..
WAr doesnt need a story.... fighting is fighting....
(half comical ment)
"Even worse, the battles take forever to unfold. You could have all the solid tactics in the world, but is all that time for planning worth anything if they take several minutes to unfold?"
Wow - several minutes = forever? So the lesson here is don't get this game if you have ADD and can't wait a couple of minutes for a battle to unfold.
That said I think people should check out the demo rather than listening to these reviews. They are all over the place and this one reads like the guy playing it has experienced very few RTS games in his day.
