GameHounds 806: Xbox Developer Direct and Ubisoft Implodes

from GameHounds · host GameHounds Staff

Edie and Nick finally agree! Using AI for NPCs is just a bad idea. Doesn't mean anyone is listening, including XBox. We discuss the Developer Direct reveal of Fable and how having a "massive world" populated by 100% interactable NPCs is just... too much! We also discuss the restructuring of Ubisoft, which only promises to mean studio sell-offs and closures, and we review "Mandgragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree."
