Gods and Monsters World Premiere trailer, Ubisoft Quebec, PS4/XB1/Switch/PC/Stadia/Uplay+, February 25, 2020
- Thread starter Arm Van Dam
- Start date
Then it's Quebec City (my own town). Not as big as the Montreal studio but still around ~500 employees.
Wow, that sounds a lot more like BOTW then I expected.
With the Greek myths background I was hoping we'd get a Pegasus or ride around on, not be stuck with "slowly gliding" around.
I love it. Greek Mythology proper, open world, and a lush art style. Just wish this wasn't channeling some serious mid 2000s Ganeloft vibes.
It has nice environments coupled with ugly character designs.
Full price retail game, I'm really not sure I see an audience for it.
Stadia will be a non-factor, PS4/X1 won't buy it (mismatch price/audience), PC won't buy it at this price. There's only Switch left, and I really don't see why players there would make this game a success when on one side you get indie games with similar artstyle 3 times cheaper (like Oceanhorn), or when you get a big IP fanbases are already there for (like Zelda).
Good luck with that.

I am in love with the art style and the fact that it's greek mythology but the enemy designs are kinda crap. I don't expect this game to engage me with its gameplay though, we'll see.
Ubisoft is really, really good at marketing titles. Let's see what's coming up on the Switch tomorrow. If this one is released during a switch drought, it could sell as well as Mario x Rabbids.
The screenshots, the structures and statues seem almost lifted right out of Odyssey. Curious to see just how much is in that game.
Yep, I got major flashbacks with that comment lol. Only thing that's missing is something like "Mannn if this wasn't on Switch the grafix would be moar mature"
On topic: I read puzzles are involved as well? I'm really curious now. Wish there was gameplay though.
It needs more horse and less statueFor a game that was bound to be accused of being derivative of Zelda, I feel like this is not a great choice for a promo shot:
This game has interested me the most from the Ubisoft conference, but also the one that sticks out among everything I've seen so far this E3. I'm really anxious to see some gameplay.
When the trailer first started, I seriously thought it was Kid Icarus lol

Remember skull and bones? Ubi don't careFor a game that was bound to be accused of being derivative of Zelda, I feel like this is not a great choice for a promo shot:
For reference:
Certainly sounds like it could be really good though. I hope ubi can restrain themselves on padding and "content"

I mean:
I think we're in for six months of them evoking BOTW imagery, people saying "Hey, your game looks like BOTW", and them replying, "Wow, we didn't even know! We love that game but we're totally nothing like it at all!"
?
Or Starlink. Or Rayman Legends. Or Zombi (U or not).
edit: Mario x Rabbids had the Mario IP and copromotion from Nintendo.
Are there dungeons? Is there a journal that tracks quests? Is there crafting?
The Kotaku piece says this game has been in development since Late 2018, and it will be launching in February 2020 .... so just a year and a half in the making. .... How much game is there to this beautiful setting?

Man I need to 100% Odyssey by then.
Going full Greek Mythology is exactly what im wanting when I finish it up.

The Assassin's Creed team must've looked at the towers in Breath of the Wild and decided "they drew first blood, not me".
It's not yet another military shooter. What is Ubisoft thinking???!!
This game has my attention now,but I can't buy all those games.
LOL people are comparing with BOTW?Why?I can't believe.
This looks like Breath of the Wild 2,not the one I played.It needs more horse and less statue

I'm really not saying it should have been a military shooter if that's what you're implying.
Just like others said, environmental artstyle is great, character design looks more like Oceanhorn or Clash of Clans (aka mobile game).
