“To achieve the quality standards and offer an optimal gaming experience, Microids decided to entrust the development of XIII Remake to the French studio Tower Five (Lornsword: Winter Chronicle),” the publisher announced on Steam(opens in new tab). "Hard at work for more than a year on a major update. This update will be released on September 13th.
“On that date, owners of the game will receive a free update and enjoy the game as intended. The development studio reworked the entire game from the Art Direction to the AI and added numerous technical improvements.”
The update already being in development, and still being offered as a free update to existing purchasers is great.
I just hope it’s a good update because from what I’ve heard the “remake” still felt a lot different than the original title it re-created.
whoa damn. Been a while since I’ve seen footage of this remake.
I’ve never played the original or the remake so I don’t have any attachment to it, but this is a terrible rush job. I think I only learned of the existence of both because of how bad the 2019 release ended up
We’ve seen it coming, but this is clearly Microsoft’s plan for the future. It’s not been about the consoles for quite some time. Rather it’s about making the real money from the subscription service. The 2022 models of Samsung’s smart TVs will allow anyone with a controller and a Game Pass Ultimate account to stream the games from the cloud service.
It’s one thing when online support ends, but the fucking audacity of cutting off access to single-player content is a whole nother level… Ubisoft have already managed to fuck up my week and it’s only Monday.
Yes that is for Brotherhood. Two also had cut content from the game a pair of DLCs centred around the Siege of Forli and the Bonfire of the Vanities, this is also not counting other little bits of DLC content. It seems like it will only impact certain versions of the games most notably the DLC will only be inaccessible for PC users if I recall.
Honestly it is a bummer but a lot of the decommissioning makes sense to me and it usually happens with any online or multiplayer game at some point. Even IO had to deactivate online content for fiscal reasons.
