While Watch Dogs is shaping up to be everything that the developers at Ubisoft had hoped it would be, there’s always the question of how the existing systems can be built upon should a sequel arise. According to Ubisoft’s VP of creative Lionel Raynaud, while the delay allowed the development team to polish and refine certain gameplay systems like hacking (check out our hands-on preview), certain ideas proved to not be as cohesive within the context of the IP-defining game....

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told CNN on Monday that he and fellow congressman John Yarmuth (D-KY) saw the newly elected congresswoman “taking a group of people for a tour sometime after the 3rd and before the 6th.” He could not name the exact date and said he did not know if anyone in the crowd was involved in the attack on the building. He told the network: “But it’s pretty clear her team, is the team, she’s not on the home team....

He is making quite the case. Especially lately. LaVine had 30 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and the banged-up Bulls beat Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards 115-106 on Wednesday night. “I’ve been blessed to coach a lot of All-Stars, and I think he should be in the game," Bulls coach Jim Boylen said. Chicago placed seven players in double figures in its second win in its last nine games....

Trump’s attorneys cited Kalt’s work 15 times in the 78-page brief to back up their argument that putting the former president on trial after he left office is unconstitutional. The Senate is expected to vote on the issue of constitutionality Tuesday, and the argument is expected to be the basis of their defense during Trump’s trial, although it’s an unpopular opinion among legal scholars. Kalt tweeted that his 2001 article favored late impeachability but presented evidence from both sides of the debate, giving Trump’s attorneys “lots for them to use fairly....

Republican Representative Jeff Hoverson confirmed the news on Facebook, saying that he was quarantining and also taking the deworming drug ivermectin. The treatment, which has been touted by conservatives as an alternative for vaccines, has not been officially approved due to a lack of evidence that it can help alleviate COVID. “This ivermectin is keeping me out of the hospital,” Hoverson told the Associated Press. “It’s making me better.”...

Jason McCue, senior partner at McCue Jury & Partners, said his firm had issued a “letter before action” to start proceedings in the High Court in London as part of a civil society “lawfare” campaign by an international group of lawyers, investigators, and campaigners. “The first thing is to frustrate the war machine by distracting it in any way we can,” McCue told Newsweek. Last week, his firm said Wagner was using “torture, murder and rape as weapons of war” against the Ukrainian civilian population....

The lawsuit from Gaige Grosskreutz claims that Rittenhouse, who lived hours away in Antioch, Illinois, tagged along with white supremacist militia members who traveled to the demonstration to protect businesses during the protest. Rittenhouse allegedly shot Grosskreutz, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber with an semiautomatic weapon, killing Huber and Rosenbaum and wounding Grosskreutz. “If a Black person had approached police with an assault rifle, offering to patrol the streets with the police, he most likely would have been shot dead,” the lawsuit said....

Uber Eats become the first-ever delivery platform to deliver food into space. The company tied up with Yusaku Maezawa, Japanese entrepreneur to achieve its mission. Yusaku Maezawa delivered ready-to-eat canned Japanese food items in a brown paper Uber Eats bag. The food was delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) crew. Uber in a statement said that Uber Eats and Maezawa treated the astronauts to a delicious meal that was a welcome break from standard space food....

That ended up not happening as the game was delayed until Spring 2014, meaning that there was a big Watch Dogs shaped hole in both console’s launch libraries. Some have suggested that the new generation’s launch libraries didn’t have many stand out games and Ubisoft seems to think that if Watch Dogs had made it out the door on time, it would have been the best reviewed title. Speaking to IGN, Laurent Detoc, Ubisoft’s North American president, explained his firm belief that Watch Dogs “would have been the best-rated game on next gen,” but continued by revealing that in the end Ubisoft wants to make the best game possible first and foremost....

This isn’t the first time that Ubisoft+ being released on consoles has been rumored to be coming. A leaker hinted in August 2022 that Ubisoft+ news was coming soon. This was months after PlayStation Plus added the Ubisoft+ Classics game library to Extra and Premium subscriptions. An announcement never came, however, perhaps due to unexpected delays at Ubisoft. The publisher has certainly had its hands full lately. RELATED: Ubisoft Names the Big Games It Has Coming Out Next Fiscal Year...

Units earned by players up until now have always been accessible regardless of when they were rewarded, meaning units earned all the way back in 2009 from playing Assassin’s Creed II could be redeemed to purchase an in-game armor set in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, without having to spend any real money. Coming early 2019 however, Ubisoft will be changing how long players have to use their respective units. Starting April 1st, 2019, Club Units will only exist in a player’s digital wallet for up to two years....

More specifically, all three games are now slated to release during the next fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. For some fans, this will be disappointing news to hear, especially since all three games show plenty of promise. Since they were revealed at E3 2019, fans have been intrigued by Watch Dogs Legion’s ability to let players play as any of its NPCs, Rainbow Six Quarantine’s horror-based spin on the series’ tactical formula, and Gods & Monsters’ open-world gameplay, which is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild....

Unfortunately, on the technical side of things Assassin’s Creed Unity has caught some serious flack. Several weeks before the release date, the publisher announced that the game would run at 900p/30FPS (frames per second), which not only frustrated gamers but saw some ask if Ubisoft’s Xbox partnership was the reason for the downgrade across all platforms. With a fiery debate over Assassin’s Creed Unity’s graphics burning bright, the flames were only stoked once the game launched and uncovered a slew of problems including server connection errors and drops in frame rate in the process....

It seems Ubisoft is the latest company to consider whether it should hike up the current costs of its AAA games, with the company’s CFO Frederick Duguet addressing the issue during a recent earnings call. As reported by VGC, the Ubisoft higher-up claimed there have been conversations about attaching a “$70 price tag” instead of the typical $60 one fans are accustomed to, although nothing has been decided yet....

On Twitter, Ubisoft said that although it is “disappointed” by the ESA’s decision to cancel E3 2020, it supports the organization. It also confirmed that its own plans for major game reveals will go on, and that it is “exploring other options for a digital experience” which will allow it to “share all of the exciting news we have planned.” Ubisoft didn’t give fans a date for this digital event, but it seems likely that the company will hold some sort of announcement stream....
