Ubisoft Gaming In the Future!
« on: November 18, 2009, 02:41:35 AM »
Ubisoft are introducing a new scheme towards some if not all of their future releases of games, rewarding the player for the time and effort the put in via a system called Uplay.

This system is kind of like achivements and trophys, only you earn points to unlock exclusive items ingame on various ubisoft games!

Such as you just killed someone silently and earned 40 points.. now you can use these 40 points to unlock an exclusive altair outfit for AC2.  This is just an example of things to come, Personally I'm very happy to see this introduced! Looking forward to the future!

Check out their official website..

http://uplay.uk.ubi.com/

There is already confirmed Uplay content for AC2, Splinter Cell Conviction and R.U.S.E

Enjoy.

Honour, Respect, Loyalty.

There's a similar thread on the xbox.com forums about the possiblity of Gamerscore being turned into MS Points, everyone likes the idea but say it won't happen because it would be abused by the usual game saving cheats & glitchers so it's never gonna happen, decent idea though.

Uplay sounds a lot better.

Sounds awesome. I like game Awards that get you Avatar cack, it's great for me as i'll 'probably' never buy avatar stuff.

This sounds better, aslong as they don't leave content out just so people will use uPlay. Like the MP mode on Splinter Cell, that should be ingame but the extra weapons or constumes can be left out as they don't effect playablity.

This is an awesome idea.  Huge kudos to Ubisoft.

I only hope that the people that experience problems with it don't ruin it for everyone else.

Im guessing it will still reward you if you was offline.. but only a guess really but due to it having its own website I dont see how it couldnt update when you connect to live etc! :)

I am certain that I did not download the new content for the game. It was unlocked. That may produce complaints that Ubisoft is withholding content, but it is, at least free.

Probably better that way, means it doesnt waste space on your HD when your not playing it.

Plus this stuff could just be classed as bonus content.. If someone wants to moan about it.. they blatently have not played an EA game. lol.

Way I look at it its the developers own free will to add additional content to a game and make it exclusive to doing certain tasks! :P

Like the spec ops mode on MW2 if someone never earns 40 stars they wouldnt be able to get the last tier of missions! (In theory witholding content ;)) Hehe

Really looking forward to AC2 though getting it on Friday.. first thing ill do is get the AC2 Wallpaper with my 10 free points :D

Its like the next step on from the EA points system.  You earn EA_World points to unlock items for your EA avatar
