best3444 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Interesting because that was a pretty impressive game on all fronts. I guess it didn't do too well financially. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eventide11 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yeah. Very forgettable in general. So many games have improved on that formula. Best to move on to something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I thought it was fantastic and honestly I like it better than modern Zelda. I really thought a sequel would happen and this really fucking sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Wasn't this the game that was going to go Samoan? Seems like a shame since it's mostly an untapped setting. Although since this is Ubisoft it checks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I really enjoyed it. A sequel would've been neat, but I won't let this news ruin my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 In a world of limited time and vaguely unlimited games, I can’t look at any Ubisoft release and be excited by the prospect of 20-90 hours with it. This series very much included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nublood Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 It was just a re-skin of all the AC games anyway. And too much map vomit. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 It's not AssCreed or Far Cry, so it probably didn't do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just to twist the knife a bit. Sources: Ubisoft’s canceled Immortals 2 was a big break from the company’s formula (Axios) Quote Developers behind a recently canceled Ubisoft game were aiming to create a Polynesian action-adventure that combined traits from two all-time beloved games: the mystery-filled Elden Ring and Nintendo's sea-faring The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, sources tell Axios. Quote Details: Oxygen/Immortals 2 had been planned as a sequel to 2020's open-world Greek mythology adventure Immortals Fenyx Rising, and began development in 2021 before its recent cancellation, which was first reported by VGC News. Elaborating on that to Axios, two sources familiar with the game's development but not authorized to speak about the project told of plans for a vast game set across a fictionalized version of the Polynesian archipelago, made primarily by Ubisoft's Quebec studio but developed alongside Polynesian consultants. While the first Immortals was developed in a little over a year, Oxygen/Immortals 2 was taking longer because of its scope, revisions to the underlying Assassin's Creed game engine the new game would use and a team kept small as the publisher focused resources on the still-upcoming Assassin's Creed Red. By spring of this year, though, several playable hours were available in an internal demo and the company was at a juncture about whether to fund full development or nix the project. Quote An image that leaked last year showed one possible look for the game's main character, though the plan was for players to customize their body type, gender and look. The player's character could curry favor with various Polynesian gods, gain elemental powers and shape-shift, while gaining new tattoos based on the choices they made as the game's story progressed. Players would be hopping from island to island, each a fictional version of places such as New Zealand, Tahiti, Easter Island and Hawai'i. Inspired by the Polynesian concept of mana, players would have to manage how their in-game actions impacted the land around them. Quote What they're saying: "The goal was also to make a game very different from the rest of the Ubisoft portfolio," one source told Axios. Ubisoft open-world games typically take place across a map that's filled with quest markers, and players are often guided with a compass or arrow that directs them to their next objective. For Oxygen, however, the developers planned to drop a lot of those helpers in favor of requiring players to search harder to figure out where to go, by tracking animals, following the wind or navigating via the position of the stars in the in-game sky. A core inspiration was FromSoftware's 2022 hit Elden Ring, which sold millions of copies despite throwing players into an intriguing, hostile world with few obvious pointers about how to survive or proceed. Immortals 2 would be a departure from its predecessor, dropping the first game's narrator, losing its emphasis on solving puzzles and offering a more malleable story in which player choice is significant.

thedarkstark Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The team is too talented to work for a trash company like UBI, hopefully they go elsewhere and thrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the first Fenyx rising game. It wasn't a GOTY, but it was good dumb fun. I really love the team that made this game too. Hope they get to work on something more original soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 They'll spend the next 12 years working on the modern era shit in 22 Assassin's Creed games before being laid of unceremoniously to net an extra 0.2% for the shareholders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
