RedLynx & Ubisoft? | Forums

Ubisoft is pronounced You-Be-Soft. Try saying "An You-Be-Soft Studio"... Doesn't work that well.

Ubi means "where" in Latin, so the rough translation is Where-Soft, or Soft-Where... Software. Ha.

ANBA and Tero have both expressed the WHY of Ubisoft acquiring Redlynx, and we only foresee good things from it.

That's me told. lol
I never knew it was supposed to be pronounced like that
I've always said Oobisoft.

Whenever I play a Ubisoft game and that standard slash screen loads just after launching the game, there is a voice in my head that says "You-B-Soft, I-B-Hard". Not sure why but it has always given me a little chuckle. And I say it with a tough guy sorta voice.

i wonder if ubisoft helped with the graphics engine for all the outside bits. im not saying redlynx couldnt make the large outside world on their own, but going by the performance of the trials HD engine when there was a huge amount of open space i'm guessing this is one of the areas that ubisoft has help in (especially with games like far cry under their belt)

Nope, RedLynx did it all. I'm pretty sure that Ubisoft is only responsible for publishing the games, not developing. Even so, they only officially start business when RedLynx starts developing their next game.

The development of the game has begun much earlier. So no I think Ubisoft did not have anything to do with the development process.

It actually bugged me too, so I looked it up on Wikipedia for the pronunciation. I do have a big head though. Extra large hats.

Ubisoft is from Morbihan,it's a county (sort of) wich is in Bretagne (my country,in fact i'm breton and then french.this area have a strong regional identity)
There's an underground meanings for Ubi "Union des Bretons Indépendant" it means Independent union of brittany.
