The Shadow of Kong

Posted by Zonk on from the brightness-turn-up-now dept.

The BBC is reporting that the makers of the Kong game recommend against purchasing the 360 version of that title. The article states that an Ubisoft rep, Yves Guillemot, stated that the 360 version is just too dark to play well on a non-HD screen. However, Voodoo Extreme got in touch with Ubi for the official party line, and they had something very different to say. From the article: "Ubisoft is actively investigating isolated reports of resolution issues on specific plasma screens, which should be easily resolved by adjusting/increasing the settings. Ubisoft believes that King Kong offers one of the best gaming experiences available on the Xbox 360 and encourages gamers to check it out for themselves."

    Ubisoft attends the local emergency ward to have a chair removed from its skull and a rabid ballmer is put back in his pen by MS zookeepers

    Ah well, it is a good laugh.

    You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.

    Yves Guillemot is not just a "Ubisoft rep.", he's the CEO (being one of the Guillemot brothers, who founded Guillemot - videogames - and Hercules - hardware).

      Guillemot brothers founded Ubisoft - videogames - and Guillemot (later on renamed "Hercules") for hardware. My bad.

    As long as you can still see the barrels Kong throws at you, I don't see the problem.
