Kevin Spacey's future tech may be "20 years ahead" of the fictional future military's, but that doesn't mean it works perfectly all the time.
Ubisoft's Big New Games Have Disappeared From Steam [UPDATE]
Last night, when I went to bed, the last thing I saw as I turned off my PC was a huge banner ad on Steam advertising Assassin's Creed: Unity. By the time I woke up this morning, the game was gone. You couldn't buy it on Steam if you wanted to.

MMO-racer The Crew will be a few weeks late, arriving on December 2 instead of November 11, Ubisoft announced in a blog post. Good news is that this means there will be another closed beta test, which Ubisoft says they're planning to carry out in November, this time on the PS4 and the Xbox One.

Today Ubisoft announced that country-sized racer The Crew will be coming to Xbox 360 in addition to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. PlayStation 3, however, has been left sputtering at the starting line. Fans aren't pleased, but Ubisoft claims it's much easier this way.

We've seen games that let you run from one end of a huge, real city to another. But Ubisoft's The Crew promises an altogether more impressive spectacle: one smooth drive from Miami Beach to the beaches of Los Angeles. Take a look.

How The Xbox One And PlayStation 4 Are Changing Multiplayer Games
What does being a next-gen game or hardware mean, exactly? While the answer is kind of murky—in some ways, the coming generation doesn't feel like a huge departure from our current generation of hardware —one of the places we can see concrete changes is when it comes to multiplayer games.

Ubisoft's just-announced The Crew is an ambitious, impressive-looking game. A Need for Speed-like street racing game with a ton of singleplayer and multiplayer options, set on a ridiculously massive map that spans from Los Angeles to New York City. But if you want to play it, you're going to need an internet…

Yesterday, I got to spend some time playing The Crew, Ubisoft's ambitious next-gen, open world racing game. It looks, at first blush, like any other street-racing game from the last few years. And then you see the map. The humongous, size-of-America map.
