Ubisoft in the Spotlight Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, October 28 2008 Publication of Ubisoft's financial statement recently has thrown the publisher into the limelight, with various industry commentators finding plenty to compliment the Ghost Recon publisher with. With a £1.5 billion revenue total demonstrating an increase of 43% over last years figures, Ubisoft's results appear to buck the current economy trends. As NG4's breakdown shows, the Nintendo DS accounts for more Ubisoft sales than any other platform, with the big three consoles left fighting for the scraps.

Next Ghost Recon Merging with End War? Posted by Rocky on Friday, October 17 2008 Australian site Gameplayer.com had an interesting chat with a lead programmer at Ubisoft his week. With Ubisoft buying the Tom Clancy name for its series of games it was clear Ubisoft had big plans for all their Tom Clancy titles - now that vision is a little bit clearer as according to Gameplayer's interview the Ubisoft Tom Clancy universe is to merge, bringing all the titles home to one combined experience. The next Ghost Recon, and also Rainbow Six are included, with End War being the vehicle to make this all happen. Some of the details in the interview may be speculative, but this is definately something to look out for. Read the full Ghost Recon / End War Super Game Merger interview here. Forum discussion here.

End War Winners Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, October 7 2008 I drew out twenty winners and mailed them a moment ago, so congrats to you and hard lines to the folks who missed out. This was a very popular competition, and I can tell from the entries a lot of console owners are really pumped about End War. You can read all about it at the End War forums. Speculation about a PC version carries on regardless, although the folks at IGN seem to think they found prrof of a PC version in the works, there is still no official word.

GRIN in the News Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, July 9 2008 GRAW developer GRIN has been getting some airtime recently. There's a write up at Gamasutra detailing a talk they gave at a recent conference. There's also a series of videos on Youtube detailing GRIN's history via a Gamereactor interview. Part 1 has Bo explaining where GRIN started and details on their first major title, Ballistics. Part 2 covers Phoenix Rising, Vultures, Unknown, Ghost Recon AW and some straight talking from Bo. If you only have time to watch one of these, spare 7 minutes for this episode, not only does it include Ghost Recon AW, but also an interesting swipe (?) at Bioshock. Hardcore fans will get a real kick out of Ghost Recon section though.... Part 3 brings up to date with their current project, Bionic Commando and also the future as they have scooped a top drawer brand although wouldn't reveal what it is. Bo also emphasises why GRIN love independence and won't be selling out to any major publishers anytime soon. There's plenty in there that will draw some comments, so feel free to add your thoughts in our forums here.
