Sure, but I think the key word here is quietly.

They'll try to hide the most embarrassing stuff, long after the fact, but I wouldn't expect them to comment publicly on it. It'd be bad for their business.

So, big wrestler tiger not to your liking apparently?

But Groobo's record is still listed as the "Fastest completion of an RPG videogame" by Guinness World Records, which has not offered a substantive response to the team's findings (Guinness has not responded to a request for comment from Ars Technica).

Of course they didn't. Guinness has never cared about being correct. People pay Guinness to have a record listed. The record holders are the Guinness records' customers.

It is, randomly happens in the festival plaza after the main plot. Honestly not that interesting despite the premise, there's barely any plot to be found, just the most basic excuse to have you fight a couple battles with past villains and it's over very quickly. They'd advertised so much around Rainbow Rocket that I was a bit disappointed.

I agree about the story part.

Worst part IMO is that original SuMo had the most interesting antagonist the series ever had, and Ultra decided fuck that, let's rewrite that character in the most boring way possible and drop a random threat out of nowhere instead.

I think I've heard about this, yeah. That sucks. It could be as simple as one or two splash screens with the original studio in credits, and it'd be okay really.

That would have been a correct way to do this, yeah. I've seen it done like that too, for example Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition has both port and original teams in credits.

Going so far as removing a cool little ending song just because the video clip happened to reference the old studio is petty.

I don't want him to find it because I want the over-the-top movie dramatization of that guy's descent into madness.

He can have part of the movie revenues, if he's smart.

Not sure how much, but there was stuff missing.

For example the filter that makes everything kinda blurry and dream-like, and a whole ending sequence video with a song, artworks and animations.

Worst part is that video was not removed for a lack of time or anything, but just because it included credits and a logo from studio Clover. You know, the people who made the game to begin with.

I have a sign that says "Shout to enter".

The soundtrack in Cryo's Dune was definitely a huge part of the experience. That was a very trippy game.

That definitely sounds like usual Ubisoft meddling. Hell, at that time Guillemot's good friend Hascoet must have been in full directing power, shitting all over the Assassin's Creed creative team's decisions. While the company protected his sexual and moral harassment gig.

I can't care less about Ubisoft being sold to whoever. Guillemot and his asshole clique don't deserve shit.
