Ubisoft Delays Server Shutdown for Older Games Like Assassin's Creed 2 and Far Cry 3

Ubisoft has delayed the shutdown date of several multiplayer servers for some of its games. The shutdowns were supposed to go into effect on September 1 , but now they will stay up for an additional month, shutting down on October 1 instead. "Decommissioning online services for older games is something we do not take lightly, but it is also a necessity as the technology that drove those services becomes obsolete," Ubisoft says in an update to the original post. "Over the last month, our teams have been hard at work exploring what is possible to reduce disruption." The games which will continue seeing online services include: Assassin’s Creed II Assassin’s Creed III Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Assassin’s Creed Revelations Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD Driver San Francisco Far Cry 3 Ghost Recon Future Soldier Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Rayman Legends Silent Hunter 5 Splinter Cell: Blacklist ZombiU The only exception to the new shutd...

Unseen Half-Life Concept Art Released - Including a Spin-Off That Never Came Out

Many Half-Life projects have never come to fruition, from Half-Life 2: Episode 3, to spin-offs that never reached development. Thanks to some new concept art, we at least know what they could have looked like. 2K developer and Half-Life fan David McGreavy (via Kotaku ) has released a selection of never-before-seen images from the long-awaited Half-Life 2: Episode 3 – confirming some previously-released plot points – not to mention a game idea that never saw the light of day. Although McGreavy never worked on Half-Life 2 , he has become a an avid collector, and found himself in possession of concept art that give us a glimpse into the chapter of Half-Life 2 that never came to be.

Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and Witcher: How You Can (and Can't) Adapt Famous Fantasies To Games

As a 12-year-old Christian Cantamessa sat in bed and read The Lord of the Rings, he never imagined having the chance to one day create his own story set in Tolkien’s world with Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Nor could Brad Kane, as he walked down the aisle on his wedding day to the Game of Thrones theme tune, picture himself writing a Westerosi tale of his own through the Telltale series. And the same goes for CD Projekt Red’s Marcin Blacha and Magdalena Zych, who as kids read Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher books - Wiedźmin in the original Polish, where it’s practically required reading. These writers have each created video game stories set in established and beloved fantasy epics, but despite the opportunities to do so being fantasies in themselves - genuine dreams come true - there are myriad challenges and pressures that come alongside. Take The Lord of the Rings, for example. J.R.R. Tolkien created an entire plane of existence with its own history, myth, politics, and so on. He...

How High on Life Unexpectedly Stole Gamescom

Update: A previous version of this story listed High on Life numbers as 33.5 million video views, and 77.6 million impressions. This included views and impressions for content posted prior to Gamescom. This has now been adjusted so that the numbers listed are just for content posted during Gamescom. A week after Gamescom kicked off with Opening Night Live on August 23, it’s pretty clear that the unexpected hit of the show on social media was High on Life from Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland’s Squanch Games. Set for release on December 13 for PC and Xbox, it’s a first-person shooter wrapped in the same kind of darkly-comedic weirdness seen in Roiland’s previous games like Trover Saves the Universe and Accounting . Squanch Games’ creative director Mikey Spano describes it as “Bladerunner if Jim Henson did it,” and compares the bounty hunting gameplay to Metroid Prime. Tonally, it’s an acquired taste, and honestly it wasn’t on our Gamescom bingo card of games we thought we’d be ...
