That sucks, was looking forward to SOT
Yeah literally the only IP I'd even consider giving my money to Ubi for. The only other one I have been at least lukewarm interested in is BG&E2 but the problems there are it'll never release, and they've completely missed the mark on what fans have wanted this entire time.

Nobody said that

Dammit, I was looking forward to SoT seeing as it plays pretty janky now compared to modern standards and I was hoping they'd fix up the combat a bit. That said, I only have the Xbox version to go off of. Is the PC version any good? Maybe someone will do a Black Mesa on it.

Ubisoft, the people who fucked up Assassin's Creed + ninjas. How can you fuck what up? It's a easy home run, but no.
RIP Ubisoft.

In any other business, having 6 simultaneous failed projects would be cause for dismissal of the CEO and probably the majority of the management staff. If I owned or had a large amount of shares in a company where this happened, I would not be a happy chappy. But I'm assuming the Ubisoft upper echelons are patting themselves on the back for their business acumen and financial savviness, already penning their bonuses into their calendars.
Meanwhile, regular workers are dropped like pubic lice the minute it's convenient to do so.
Parasites.

Well, having not played the Xbox version...
Once you've got it running, it remains one of the finest games of all time.Getting it running is the real sands of time, tho. It has a particular hatred of multi-core CPUs, requires a graphics card that supports both hardware transform & lighting but also truly ancient versions of DirectX, and is obstinately not-widescreen. You'll be wanting a fan patch; last time I tried one, it was a bit of a crash-fest (it wasn't, back in the day) and some of the SFX looked plain wrong.
Graphics still held up perfectly - the art style is very strong - and the story remains charming. All I wanted from a remake was the damned thing to start up in a modern screen resolution, and it seems they've managed to spend years on it without even managing that.

The combat is fine, my only issue with it was the camera trying to get you killed, especially around corners. Still one of the best games Ubisoft have ever made.

I tried going back to it on pc recently and was met with a pretty janky experience. GoG and Steam versions.
I ended up emulating the PS2 version with some upscaling and it was great. There’s community texture packs and widescreen patches as well if you have the hardware to run them (low bar fwiw, I had success with an anbernic android device and a few mods as an example). -
More focus on open-world titles and games as a service? Every time I think they've hit the bottom, they manage to dig deeper.
They‘re essentially a corpse that gets electrocuted every now and then to emulate nerve signals.

Warrior Within totally fucked up the vibe though, and the combat was rubbish. It’s a puzzle game, the fighting was just a little break, but they tried to make it too big a part.
Two Thrones was 50% SoT and 50% WW, when it should have been 99% SoT and 1% WW. The voice in your head thing from TT was pretty good, until you have to fight it.
Combat was amazing.
I have hard time finding any game that comes even close to having so much fun with enemies.
Throwing them on spikes, off the ledges, cutting them in half after running up a wall... it was so good and so much fun.
Easily my favourite game.

I have no idea how they could drop the ball so hard for a remaster. They give the project to their indian studio, it didnt look good but at least it seem it worked. And now the project is canceled and i never heard of any ubisoft game that came ou of thoses indian studio. What the hell hapened ?

Yeah, keep it up U-be-soft. I reckon you're hit 'Invincible' mobile game can safe your pathetic ass.
God, the day this company declares bankruptcy, I'll coat the nearby surroundings and then forget they ever existed.
Till I inevitably want to play AC Black Flag for the 15th time

I've been thinking about that a lot this week. I played ACS at launch, got ten hours in before I got bored and cancelled whatever the subscription is. Came back last month, got ten hours deeper and uninstalled.
How are they making ninjas boring? HOW?!
