Ubisoft to focus less on hardcore FPS games
According to the French developer First Person Shooters aren’t profitable enough to make them a viable investment.
Video-game designer Phil Therien said, during a LiveText Interview with Eurogamer.net, that Ubisoft would like to please both its FPS fans and casual gamers, but since compromises have to be made and shooters don’t sell very well, they’ll focus less on bloodshed and more on family fun.
That doesn’t mean they’ll give up on the FPS genre completely, we’ll just see less of them that’s all. Not a big surprise considering they’re software for the Nintendo Wii is doing very well, sales wise.
Eidos to make two Warner Bros cartoon games
It has actually been a while since anyone ventured into the realm of Warner Bros. cartoons to come up with a game, so I’m pretty excited.
Eidos announced it is working on two new video-games licensed from Warner Bros. Interactive. Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor for the Nintendo DS allows players to conduct music for Looney Tunes cartoons and, according to Eidos, it will appeal to anyone “who enjoys simple but addictive gameplay.”
The second title is Wacky Races: Crash & Dash, a racing title that promises to focus on the goofy characters and racers from the popular cartoon series.
Looney Tunes: Cartoon Conductor will be available in June, while Wacky Races: Crash & Dash will be available for the DS and Wii at an unspecified date in 2008.
