Ubisoft has been in some trouble as of late. The French-based """AAAA"""" company has been on the decline for a few years now, but some of their recent blunders such as Skull and Bones, and Star Wars Outlaws have particularly put them on blast in the public eye. Some have been hopeful that Ubisoft may serve as an example to other big publishers, showing that we are getting tired of the same old copy pasted sequels and generally uninspired games. However, things were not always like this.
In this video, I want to focus in on Ubisoft Montreal in particular. This is a company that, at one point, had a very successful streak of introducing new franchises which have managed to remain relevant even to the present day. Specifically, this is a video about the first game they ever made: Splinter Cell - Stealth Action Redefined.
