Ubisoft’s Hugues Ricour has told Total Xbox that the company tries to make players think through the games it provides. “There’s definitely a conscious mandate to make sure we make fun experiences that focus on gameplay, that we enrich people’s lives, and that we connect them together,” he also said.

Ricour’s comments in full:

“We’re trying to make people think. There’s a bunch of other games that I won’t name where you’re very scripted and driven to just follow a path and do actions and press buttons…it’s not just making games for the sake of making games. There’s definitely a conscious mandate to make sure we make fun experiences that focus on gameplay, that we enrich people’s lives, and that we connect them together.”

As though we’d ever think this was going to happen: A movie (based on a book) about the 1990’s insane console war between Nintendo, Sony, and SEGA will be coming out, directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (both of whom worked on last year’s This is the End). The book– authored by Blake Harris, who will write the film– that the movie is based upon hasn’t released yet, but the it is in the pre-production stages which means we could see it as early as next year.

No word on specifics; the above is all the real info we have.

In the UK last night, Bandai Namco used some of the most powerful projectors in the world to promote Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures.

Those who were driving along the M4 on Monday may have noticed that Pac-Man was standing 80 feet tall and plastered across the iconic SEGA building in Chiswick, West London. Sonic the Hedgehog was featured in conjunction with the promo to celebrate Ghostly Adventures’ launch.

But just a few minutes after the projection began, Bandai Namco says the plug was pulled “when security guards were alerted by local authorities as this was a stunt clearly designed to shock, delight and decorate Sega’s impressive building that graces West London.”

PR and marketing director for Bandai Namco Games UK Lee Kirton commented:

“We wanted to be cheeky, create some fun, but obviously do it quietly. Something that’s hard to do in the game’s industry, but slightly easier at midnight. We hope Sega aren’t offended, more delighted.”

An interesting – if not strange – series of events.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures launches in the UK on March 7.
