Province supports Ubisoft in development of first Ontario-based studio

LONDON, UK – JULY 7, 2009 – Ubisoft announced plans today to open a full development studio in Toronto, Ontario – a first for the company in the province. This significant announcement is expected to result in the creation of 800 net new jobs within the province over the next decade. The government of Ontario is investing CA$263 million over ten years in the company and Ubisoft’s net investment will be over half a billion CAD in the new studio, which will begin operations in late 2009.

“Today’s announcement marks a strategic move for Ubisoft as we continue to expand our internal development force,” said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “We are in an excellent position to grow and after extensive analysis we are thrilled to have reached an agreement with the government of Ontario to found our new studio in Toronto. The city is one of North America’s economic and cultural epicenters and our expectations are high. We’re excited to be able to count on the exceptional local talent, who will contribute to our accelerated growth and will have a profound impact on the video game industry with the excellence of their creativity.”

At last, the teenage turtles and Rabbids can fight in the same arena. A demo of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up, which was present at this year’s Japan Expo in France, confirms that at least two variations of the Rabbids will be playable in the game. This isn’t the biggest surprise in the world considering that the Rabbids have become an IP for Ubisoft, but some will probably feel that the little beasts serve as a nice addition. While a typical Rabbid can be selected, there was also some sort of Sam Fisher-like Rabbid as well.

“We have a lot of gameplay situations, enemies and powers that are still in the drawing board! Hopefully those will see the light in the next chapters of NyxQuest. First we want to see how well the game is received by the players.” – Over the Top’s Roberto Alvarez de Lara

North America has yet to see the release of NyxQuest as of yet, but I’m anticipating the game’s arrival. Hopefully the game will be as good as some have claimed it to be. If it turns out to be a decent WiiWare title, I’d be up for a sequel for sure.

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico director Fumito Ueda was interviewed in a recent edition of Level magazine. In the interview, one subject discussed is Ueda’s opinion on Super Mario Galaxy. Apparently there is one level in the game that some members of the press and even fans claimed had borrowed from Shadow of the Colossus. However, Ueda believes that too big a deal was made out of it. Speaking about Mario Galaxy in general though, he thinks that the title “wasn’t as entertaining as it could have been” and that he “expected a little more.”

“Of course I have played it, I couldn’t resist after hearing that Miyamoto-san was inspired by me. But I have to say that I had expected a little more. That particular level (and the rest of the game) wasn’t as entertaining as it could have been. I think the press and the fans made too much of a fuss about him (Miyamoto) borrowing from me. And the atmosphere on the internet became a little heavy. What I’m critical against isn’t the fact that they borrowed something that actually isn’t even originally from me, but the fact that they didn’t make anything more interesting out of it.”
