Assassin’s Creed Unity Is Free For The Next Week

Assassin’s Creed Unity Is Free For The Next Week

, , , 0

The good news is, Assassin’s Creed Unity — the 2014 installment of Ubisoft’s long-running action video game series — is free of charge for the next week. The bad news is, it took the destruction of one of the world’s most beloved structures to make it happen. The Notre Dame Cathedral plays a big role in Assassin’s Creed Unity, which is set during the French Revolution — a time in which the cathedral was ransacked and burglarized. It serves as a reminder that Notre Dame has faced destruction before and survived…the spire that fell into the flames this week was not even its original spire, which was taken down in the 1600’s. The version we lost was built in the mid-1800’s. The giveaway is intended to spread awareness about the Notre Dame restoration fund, which has raised nearly a billion dollars at last check. “Video games can enable us to explore places in ways we never could have otherwise imagined,” said an Ubisoft rep. “We hope, with this small gesture,

‘Tis The Season For Buggy Games

‘Tis The Season For Buggy Games

It’s been lamented that the modern-day ability to fix post-release bugs in video game software via download patches is more of a curse than a blessing. Blessing in that, back in olden days, a damaging bug would have been unfixable at the manufacturing stage. Curse in that the ability to easily send out these fixes has made the gaming industry lazy and willing to ship their physical titles chock-filled with bugs, some of them even dangerous. Dragon Age: Inquisition was released last month by Electronic Arts and contains a number of weird programming hiccups. Microsoft’s Halo: Master Chief Collection has had balancing issues in its online matches. Sony’s Driveclub shipped so broken that Sony had to remove some of its racer features via patch just to get it to work online. But the king of glitchy games is currently Assassin’s Creed: Unity, the new title in the AS series that’s been a glitch-prone, faulty embarrassment for Ubisoft, most famously choosing to render its characters without faces. Rumors are now spreading

Speaking to The Metropolist Serkan Hasan revealed that his team were confident that they would be able to avoid issues that have affected games such as Battlefield 4, Assassin’s Creed Unity and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. “For The Crew, we’ve reaped the benefits of a long term beta program, designed specifically to push our infrastructure as far as possible in real world situations, with thousands of players from all over the world playing the game at the same time,” Hasan explained. “The launch of any online game these days has potential issues, but I hope that players will be encouraged by our open approach. If you had any doubts that we could pull this off, I hope that the betas proved our credentials and the game’s stability.” The developer pointed to the long beta period that their title had been in. The first beta began in July and have continued

Speaking on the official blog for Ubisoft, the CEO of Ubisoft Montreal & Toronto explained that the publisher was sorry for the problems that have persisted since the release of the game and is doing everything it can to make up for the issues.

Ubisoft is suffering the effects of releasing a seemingly unfinished game yesterday with their stock dropping a significant 9%. The stock value, which is listed in Europe, fell dramatically as poor reviews ushered in the latest release of one of the publisher’s biggest franchises, Assassin’s Creed. Following the launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity, Ubisoft has been subjected to harsh criticism from the press and fans who claim that the game is clearly in an unfinished state due to the huge number of bugs and glitches. The vast majority of the complaints that have flooded sites like YouTube and messaging boards such as NeoGAF are aimed at the stuttering frame rate. Various videos show the frame rate in Assassin’s Creed Unity dropping below 20 fps even when the player is carrying out actions that shouldn’t be very taxing. Other problems include textures not popping in, lighting glitches and a huge number of bugs that are making the game unplayable for many players. These issues are affecting all platforms, including the PC
