x360a Ubisoft Montreal Event - A Podcast Special

x360a Ubisoft Montreal Event - A Podcast Special
Written Sunday, November 08, 2009 by Dan Webb

As some of you may have been aware, I travelled out to Ubisoft Montreal last week to take a look at the latest builds of their three upcoming games; Splinter Cell: Conviction, James Cameron's Avatar and Assassin's Creed 2. Whilst there, we got together with some fellow journos from a few other sites around the web to record a podcast and bring you our opinions on everything we saw. Bear in mind this was recorded in the lobby of the Hilton in Montreal - yes, both of my two podcast appearances have come from a Hilton so far - so the sound quality isn't exactly amazing, but the content is... of course.

The collaborative podcast features the witty insights of IncGamers' Tamer Asfahani, ConsoleMonster's Lauren Wainright, Strategy Informer's Richard Walker, Ubisoft's UK Community Manager, Korina Abbott, and of course, myself. Check it out, it's a barrel of laughs... who am I kidding, it's my job to say that, but have I ever steered you wrong? Have I? HAVE I!?

I remember I took Webb's advice once. I regretted it. Yes, Webb. You have steered me wrong. You have.

I dunno if it counts as being steered wrong, but remember when the Alone in the Dark road map didn't load properly? Luckily that ended up being the only one, but for a few minutes there you had me thinking that I screwed up on 50+ road maps (about 3-4 hours of copy/paste work) until you checked the others and saw that they were fine? Man that sucked. :p

I enjoyed it less that an actual X360A podcast, but it was still pretty good.

They played a lot of Beatles music.

And the podcast makes yet again another resurrection out of nowhere.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
