Ubisoft Uplay Details [Apr 21, 2010, 09:47 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Ubisoft announces details on Splinter Cell Conviction support for Uplay, their "online destination available via an in-game interface. The service consists of Uplay Win, Uplay Help, Uplay Share and Uplay Shop, and the Uplay beta launched last year with Uplay Win for Assassin’s Creed 2." Here's a trailer showing how to earn Uplay rewards on a PC or Xbox 360, and here's word:
Uplay Win enables players to collect units based on their actions in the games and exchange them for rewards such as exclusive in-game content or digital items. Uplay Win Units can also be gathered across a variety of Ubisoft titles which are currently available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 and PC.
In Splinter Cell Conviction, only available on Xbox 360 and Windows PC, exclusive in-game content such as a SCAR-H assault rifle and access to the Infiltration Game Mode are among the rewards offered through Uplay Win. For those who don't want to redeem their units right away, they can save them to use on many more upcoming Ubisoft titles.
It's not a horrible system. You earn points by accomplishing certain tasks and achievements in-game and then spend the points you earned on unlocks for any Ubi game that supports Uplay. However, I'm already logged into Xbox Live, which has a different set of achievements. The whole system just feels redundant. The worst part is that you have to log into Uplay after you launch whichever game you are playing and it takes a little bit to log in, and you can't play the game in any shape, way or form while browsing Uplay.
