About


About time I updated this freaking thing!

For those who already know me, I am Monodi. Those who doesn't, well, I am Monodi.

I got such a growing passion of gaming through the years and now I am currently in college starting my courses of Game Design as well!

I consider myself a Nintendo fanboy from all my life, but I have been much more in contact with titles for PC recently. Not that I am abandoning one, but I think it pretty much could cover the best the industry has to offer.

I am up for the philosophy that gameplay is more important than graphics, but I think graphics and technology are also a crucial part of the industry and experience even.

UGHHHHHH

Even though there is no clearer evidence to prove this, Michel hasn't been given the respect he deserves lately. Ubisoft has completely gotten up their heads with the Canadian studios way rather than the original French ones.

Going with the eternal salt-on-wounds law: "Whoever has the gold, has the rules."

But following the rumors, it seems that he is going solo as well starting his own studio, which could actually be a very good thing!

The BEST scenario I could imagine is that Michel ends taking the franchise with him, but I highly doubt that could happen at all, Ubisoft making all those teasing/useless cameos of Jade in their recent games.

This have been dark times.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Shit, this have been dark times indeed. Thanks anyway for the news Monodi.
How BG&E2 ever got greenlit in the first place is beyond me. I bet Ancel was asked to make some sweeping changes and he didn't want to compromise his "vision."
On the bright side at least they won’t make a balls of it. I never played the first one but from what I’ve seen of the sequel it looks like Ubisoft was turning it into their third or fourth parkour based game.

... and Evil.


@Monodi

If I could hit you through the internet, I would. Alas, I can't.

Never played BG&E. It good?
Honestly, BG & E tanked. So why would Ubisoft want to publish a sequel to a game that the public didn't even look at? I loved the first game, but, where could the story possibly go from how it ended? Other than Pey'Js illness?

If it's dead, it's dead for a reason. I hate to see characters like Rayman pushed aside, but maybe their time is done. I even hate to say that...
@Caspulex

Still haven't been able to clear it yet (silly stealth mission, so hard) but overall is an enjoyable amusement. I see that there are some logical tributes to the Legend of Zelda games. The game feels a bit easy, but hell it's a lot of fun.
This might be some of the worst news possible due to it's probable destruction of the BG&E franchise... which honestly is a crime against humanity.

But, as you said, the silver lining would be the freedom of Ancel to create something that doesn't have a rabbid in it.

Anyways, the man deserves more respect than what Ubisoft is currently giving him. I mean come on! The man is a damned Knight of France! A video game knight!
