German Mag Claims Ubi Demanded Positive Review on Assassin's Creed II [Update]

Computer Bild Spiele of Germany has, on its December cover, a blurb touting an “Assassin’s Creed 2 SKANDAL!” It alleges Ubisoft wanted a score of “very good” before it would turn over a review copy of the game. Says the publication: Our reviews are tough, but fair. We will not give up h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ our independent scores for the sake of a timely review. This holds true for “Assassin’s Creed 2″. The publisher asked us to guarantee the score ‘sehr gut’ [very good], otherwise we would not receive a review copy, thus we will publish our review in next month’s issue. We’d be more than glad to give the game a ‘sehr gut’, but only if it deserves it. I’ve sent an email over to Ubisoft’s PR to give them the courtesy of a response. Any that comes will be printed here.(new โค้ดเครดิตฟรีสมาชิกใหม่ล่าสุด Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); But despite the fact this behavior has strong precedent, keep in mind this boils down to he-said Ubi-said. And it boggles the mind, from what we’ve all seen so far, that Assassin’s Creed II would need such strong-arming to get a good score. But who knows. There is a ton of money riding on a game’s Metascore, providing motive enough. https://kotaku.com/update-eidos-once-again-attempting-to-mess-with-revie-5311606 Y1 Games Ed’s note: Kotaku received an early retail copy of the game and the note it came with only mentioned a feature of the game and the embargo date. No mention of review score at all. Ubisoft Demanding High Scores for Early Assassins Creed 2 Reviews? [wearetheinternetz, thanks Lorand K.]
