Patrice Désilets has
filed suit against Ubisoft over the designer's
recent firing, making good on this
statement he made at the time: "Ubisoft’s actions are baseless and without
merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for
my game."
GameInformer has the details on about $400K in compensation he is seeking,
along with the right to exercise his "turnaround clause" to take the rights to
1666: Amsterdam upon the game's cancellation. Ubisoft has previously
only admitted to having "suspended" the game
Désilets was designing before his firing.
OR1GO GAMES announces Mirage,
a "cinematic" side-scrolling slash-em-up in "stylized Chinese setting" in
development at S-Game for Windows PCs. "We know that the fast paced combat and
combo system will really please action fans looking for a new challenge," says
Adam McClard, CEO of Origo Games. "Pop out those arcade sticks of old and play
it just like your favorite fighter We are thrilled to bring this heart-pumping
title to PC gamers around the world." They offer some screenshots and an
E3 trailer. Here's word:
Two
assassins have one night to eliminate an elusive crime syndicate and get their
revenge. Utilizing their different styles of combat Soul and Shang must battle
their way through a mysterious landscape in order to defeat the illusive Master
Mirage and take control of his Clan of Shadowless Assasins.
Mirage immerses gamers in a side-scrolling, highly cinematic revenge story. With
the ability to string together endless combos of mayhem and destruction and an
array of blood-spilling weapons at your disposal, Mirage reinvigorates the
arcade 2D platformer\fighter and takes it to a another level.
The aftermath of tropical storm Andrea left us with severe storms and flood
warnings well into last night. This caused us to considerately and prudently (or
so we thought) call off our plans for this evening, which were for an outdoor
restaurant. Of course today the weather is perfect and we fee silly having
called off an outing for no reason, but we're getting used to this, as it's not
the first time we've been crossed up like this. Oh well, better safe than sorry.
