Ubisoft picks up Hasbro license for next-gen games

Looking forward to Monopoly for the Wii U, make it happen Ubisoft.

Enough with the Hateraid. Ubisoft does a lot right. Good news. Let's do this!

I'm sure the majority of you agree with me when I say that this has fail written all over it.

@Nicholas Gibson Yeah those were some of the few acceptable movie-licensed games of this gen.

@XxjaffyxX Doesn't Atari have Roller Coaster Tycoon? Or did the sell it off? Hmmm. I would love to see another RCT though.

Everything Hasbro has put their name on lately has been crap. Enter Ubisoft, the new EA/Activision imo, signing up to make these licensed games.

Hasbro probably gave them a good deal, but Ubisoft will put the bare minimum effort into the project (like always) then over-hype it as revolutionary or something.

Expect very mediocre games folk, just sayin'.

Too bad this couldn't lead to some GOOD G.I.Joe games. There hasn't been a good G.I.Joe game since the one on the Super NESS. And for ****'s sake DON'T put The Rock in it....he's the worst thing to happen to G.I.Joe ever.

... >_>

I know Most of the Comments on this story are going to be snaky and angry but I personally couldn't be happier about this. I LOVE Monopoly. I love Boardgames in general. Monopoly Streets was Awesome I hope the Next Monopoly Video game is an upgrade of that.

oh god no! There are SO much better board games out there!

Educate yourself in Table top gaming! www.boardgamegeek.com!

I would love to see what they could do with Cranium on the Kinect

I can Has-Cheeseburger-Bro?

Bring on the My Little Pony 4-player beat-em-up ARPG, with full gore!

Buys next-gen console, to play virtual board games on it.

Looking forward to Transformers vs Carebears !!!

Okay, it's just the board games, right? We don"t need Ubicrap making Transformers or GI Joe games.

I trust Ubi to blast these

Good news from Ubisoft, I wish they also make a sequel to Anno 2070.

do I remember correctly or Hasbro owns roller coaster tycoon and incredible machine? And if I'm right, can we get one of each asap?

Hell yeah people, the franchise cows have arrived for milking

Check it out bro: Hasbro...HAS.....BRO....

WHOA

How about a GI Joe game that follows the comic storylines instead of the movies?

And no lasers like the cartoons.

That's nice! EA did it last gen, they're still great games!

I think it'd be cool to see more game related board games. We have the Bioshock game coming out, there was the Halo Risk, and there's a ton of monopoly games with video game themes. I'd really like to see original games like the Bioshock one though (hope it's good!)

man ubi just got suckered

Hasbro makes Lego-like building blocks called Kre-O's. I'd love to see Ubisoft make Kre-O video games: Kre-O Transformers: The Video Game.

Friendship is Magic rpg!

Please make a GI Joe GAME!!!!!

I smell an MLP game on the horizon...

Just Virtual Console the NES Monopoly & i'm good.

Hasbro, give me a new My Little Pony game!

i smell GI Joes

so I guess Assassins Creed monopoly and Assassins Creed Scrabble and Assassins Creed RISK is coming soon then. Assassins Creed pencils, Assassins Creed figures. Assassins Creed ice cream and Assassins Creed 4.

Assassins Creed MASS MARKETING ULTRA EXTREME COMPLETE DELUXE EDITION . This series better have a damn ending. it better not just die like The Sopranos without a real ending.

Risk Factions was great when I played that. I hope Ubisoft can revamp Monopoly and make the fun of the actual boardgame translate over to the video game version.

Yessss, forget about Watchdogs, Scrabble is the next gen game I've been waiting for!!!

Why isn't there a GI JOE game already?!?! A GI JOE Battlefield style game would be awesome!

Just don't become THQ. Half-baked licenses at the expense of real games were one of the reasons for their downfall.
