Revolution FPS By Ubisoft?

by the NWR Staff - November 14, 2005, 6:43 pm EST

Louie returns to talk about a potential shooter from the minds behind Splinter Cell!

MEOW! Ahoy there, PGCers, it's me, Louie the Cat! I know it's been a while

since I've scampered around these parts, but I couldn't resist coming by for

another session of rumor-scouting. Don't worry about me being rusty, though,

I've been training hard ever since last year, honing my skills to perfection

for the next hot rumor! This time, I sent out PGC's Elite Super-Ninja Group

(aka Karl walking around in a black costume saying stuff like "Hyaaaaaa!"

and "There is no spoon!") and apparently there's buzz around the interweb

that Ubisoft's developing a Revolution-ary First Person Shooter. Is it t3h

truths? Watch me shed (get it?! shed? I'm a cat!) some light on the subject.

The source of the rumor appears to be

href=http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_noticia.php?id=cw437615e74a4a7&pic=GEN>Meristation,

who claims that Ubisoft has already confirmed this and that the project has

been handed down to Ubisoft Montreal, the team behind the much-beloved

Splinter Cell series and the cult-hit Beyond Good & Evil. Unfortunately,

there's no solid information here, other than that the first audio/video

presentation of the game will be available at E3 2006.

So what does your old pal Louie think? "Very possible," says this old wise

cat. Since Ubisoft had already confirmed Revolution support

href=http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60540>back in

August, and since the fate of multiplatform games on Nintendo's fifth

home console are a bit unclear at the moment, it'd be a good guess to say

that Ubisoft would be lending an exclusive. And since they're so experienced

with First Person Shooters (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, etc), this isn't hard

to believe at all.

Unfortunately, Ubisoft, the actual company has yet to make an

official statement. Are they under an NDA where they're not allowed to talk

about this supposed leak? Or is it so false that they don't feel the need to

comment? In any case, don't expect Nintendo to say much - they're as

tight-lipped as ever when it comes to Revolution game info. In fact, Jim

Merrick's

href=http://www.planetgamecube.com/news.cfm?action=item&id=6617>comment

about there not being any new game info until 2006 almost assures that there

won't be an affirmation or a denial for a while. So is this supposed Ubisoft

game legit or not? Time will tell, but I'd bet three cups of Meow Mix that

there's some truth to this rumor.

Until next time,

Louie the Cat
