Make Your Robot Buddy Climb High In Grow Home

From Ubisoft? weird.

This looks really cool. I'll wait to see how it pans out, but I really have a strange love/hate relationship with Ubisoft. All their AAA games seem boring to me, whereas their faux-indie stuff can be really good. I think Valiant Hearts is one of the best of last year.

Awesome. It's easy to feel disenfranchised with their AAA stuff, but their experimental stuff and spin-offs are totally rad.

"Fuck it, let's just make a game that's nothing but climbing a tower to reveal more of the map."

Does it feature a cinematic 24 fps?

Not even a game, just a growing simulator, pssh.

Does the robot have an English accent?

Ubisoft should just give up AAA games and focus on smaller scale stuff. They're infinitely more interesting that way.

im digging the music. trailer doesnt explain much though about what this game is.

From the people that gave us... Driver?

Looks different.

Gone Home reference?

@servbot_42: Is it weird? It's about time Ubisoft made a game that's literally just about climbing and nothing else.

Ubisoft's small stuff has been their most interesting stuff recently so I will check this out. Especially since this is the first game from this team since the amazing Driver: San Francisco.

Your comment is literally perfect.

Huh, reading Rorie's tweet about what this game was made me think it was a weed grow-op simulator

Aha! I pick up the pepper grinder!

I like the look and the music. Hopefully it's not too rotten with the weed allusions. Then, if that and it has actually enjoyable gameplay, bring it to PS4 and Xbox One.

I won't buy it unless it has microtransactions, a season pass, co-op mode, competitive multiplayer, online only requirement, xp based progression, dozens of side missions, hundreds of collectables, runs at a cinematic 30fps, Twitter and Facebook integration, Uplay intergration (preferably with items that are unattainable without it), leaderboards, and at least 20 more trailers between now and release that explain and show every single detail about the game.

Make me proud, Ubisoft.

Wait, people like the music? The composer probably spent 10 minutes throwing together an arpeggiator, a pad, and the most boring drum beat.

Anyway this was the game that Rorie was talking about on twitter that's basically about pot, right? The robot's name is "Bud" and it collects "star plants" to "get higher." Hmm. I guess that's a "clever" way to be inspired by drug use.

The way he moves makes me think they were just prototyping a bunch of stuff like procedural locomotion and world generation for a bigger game and then thought to themselves "hey, we can sell this as well!".

Are you making fun of his use of the word "literally"? Because it was totally fine.

"We saw that people got tired of climbing our radio towers in every game so we decided to make a game that's only about climbing a tower, that'll show them."

Ubisoft should stop making AssCreed and other AAA games and mainly focus on those UbiArt games.

So is this one like of those old CS climbing maps?

There is literally nothing wrong with it.

@tomac: Oh god.

@nonesun: Nope

I'm setting the OVER/UNDER of major bugs within the first hour of gameplay at 8.. taking all bets, let's get it rollin!

Now THAT I would buy.

No, I'm not. I'm legitimately stoked about this comment.

From the name alone I was hoping this was going to be some sort of vine-growing simulator. I played a web game once with a poor execution on that idea and I don't think anyone's really attempted it since.

But OK, climbing robot, sure.
