In early 2017, they left Telltale to take jobs at the San Francisco office of the French video-game giant Ubisoft, where they were tapped to work on a new project that until now has remained a secret. Herman and his team were developing a new entry in the beloved stealth-action Splinter Cell franchise, he told me. “I was so excited to be a part of this and help revitalize it, because it’s been dormant for a while,” Herman said. “And we thought we could tell a great story and do something the fans would love.” They worked on the project for a few months before they got disrupted by executive whims. Ubisoft was at the time growing obsessed with games as a service (GAAS), or games that can be monetized for months or years after they are released, and the company began pressuring all of its projects to follow that route. “We tried,” said Herman. “Let’s make a narrative GAAS game. We were trying to make that make sense, and a lot of cool prototypes were made.” But nothing stuck. Over time, it became clear that Ubisoft had lost interest in their Splinter Cell game as the studio began talking about chasing Call of Duty. The project evolved several times and would eventually morph into xDefiant, an ill-fated shooter that was shut down a year after it came out. picard and troy reading whatever the hell that was

A screenshot of a video titled "Every Cancelled Metal Gear Solid Game." The image shown is from Saving Private Ryan, and the caption states: "For folks watching that aren't super familiar with WW2, if you've ever seen Saving Private [Ryan]"

this is like when you opened an EGM in early 2005 and saw a fake prerendered screenshot for what ps3 games could look like
my beloved deus ex ruined. jc denton's three foot long twig arm holds a crowbar and is about to hit a soldier in the back of the head. the entire thing looks like a screenshot you saw of Perfect Dark Zero on 1up.com and you and your friends coped by saying "it's an early build"

STOP DOING THIS

STOP MAKING EVERY REMAKE BLUE AND GRAY
A comparison between Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (the HD Collection version, left) and the recent Metal Gear Solid Delta (right). Both images show a woman approaching a man on a rope bridge. The left image is sepia-toned, the woman emerging from evening haze. The right image is more cyan tinted, the woman emerging from a thick gray fog.

writing a review about how abusive id software was to me
Once you beat the big badasses and clean out the moon base you're supposed to win, aren't you? Aren't you? Where's your fat reward and ticket home? What the hell is this? It's not supposed to end this way! It stinks like rotten meat, but looks like the lost Deimos base. Looks like you're stuck on the shores of Hell. The only way out is through. To continue the DOOM experience, play The Shores of Hell and its amazing sequel, Inferno
