Well. All I want is more of that thing the first game did. Not some bog standard Ubisoft formula that they have been too afraid to deviate from for so long now.

Sure apparently IIRC Michel ancel was not easy to work with. Not that I would know since I didn't work with that guy. But who knows what is true when said dev left ubi stating that the company sucked now... I suppose the truth is somewhere in between, he didn't want to conform that much to the safe Ubisoft formula and Ubisoft inausted that he did.

Man I remember when they took risks and put out actual good games instead of the same old safe and non risky rehashes that they do now.

Child of Light was a successful attempt at making a good indie-like game. I liked it. It was different and creative. I wonder what became of the announced sequel...

Plourde expressed that he was unsure if it was still in development but said that he was not involved and that it was unlikely, with most of the core team responsible for the original game having departed the company.
With a focus on games as a service, Plourde expressed doubt over the prequel, believing games such as Child of Light to be no longer something that Ubisoft would want to make.

Fuck Ubisoft.
