Pure Football announced for May release, Shaun White Skateboarding also due
Ubisoft has ramped up its efforts in the sport genre with the announcement of its first core football title.
Pure Football is due for release in May – coinciding nicely with the World Cup – and is being developed by Ubisoft Vancouver. The game boasts a more serious tone than last year's Wii-exclusive Academy Of Champions.
The new IP is a five-a-side football game and features an over-the-shoulder camera, as opposed to the traditional TV broadcast-style perspective. It will feature a dedicated single-player campaign, local and online multiplayers and leaderboards.
The publisher also announced it will release Shaun White Skateboarding – a spin-off of its established snowboarding series – this Christmas.
As with previous Shaun White titles, this will feature the two-time Olympic gold medallist and is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

The planned formats for each game has yet to be confirmed.

This should be funny. Poor old Ubisoft everything they touch seems to turn to shit at the moment.

Yeh you're right.
I mean Assassasins Creed 2, such a failure...

Assassasin Creed II should be great on the PC with this new PC piracy thing they have impletemented which has already been cracked online...
Then you look at the rest of the ubisoft range. Imagine cooking, teacher, flying, skiing, jumping, walking, cooking (ops already did that). Same old trash each and every month.
Okay they have Tom Clancey & Assassins Creed, but that is all that is keeping them going.

Imagine is bad yes, but I was making the point of what you said about everything Ubisoft touch turning to shit.
I don't care about DRM, who does? I'm a console player. I feel sorry for PC owners, but that decision doesn't affect me.
Ubisoft make great games, and bad games, but everything they touch doesn't turn to shit. AC series, Tom Clancy (Ghost Recon, Rainbow 6, Splinter Cell etc), Prince Of Persia, Beyond Good And Evil means they're pretty decent developers to me.
