Ubisoft: Assassin’s Creed Movie Won’t Earn Much Money

Ubisoft doesn't expect to make a lot of money from its upcoming Assassin's Creed film, but instead sees it as a way to increase awareness of the brand.

"We are not going to earn a lot of money from it," Ubisoft’s European head Alain Corre told MCV.

Instead of seeing the film as a profit generator, Ubisoft is looking at Assassin's Creed: The Movie as an opportunity to promote its popular video game franchise, with Corre noting that "it is a lot more a marketing thing" and "also good for the image of the brand."

While the studio does expect to make "some money," that isn't the focus. Instead, the film's "purpose is to bring Assassin’s Creed to more people" and "put this franchise in front of a lot more people who, maybe, will then pick up future Assassin’s Creed games."

Bethesda 3D Prints a Real Version of DOOM’s B.F.G.

Bethesda has 3D printed a life size replica of the B.F.G. from DOOM, and given it away to a talented fan.

The company ran a competition for fans to create their own paint job for the iconic weapon, and the winner, John Allen, got the B.F.G. to keep.

The replica itself was created and crafted by, ironically, MyMiniFactory. Instead of working from reference images like normal, id Software shared in-game files with the designers so the gun would be as accurate as possible.

To create such a gun was a mammoth task. It took Kirby Downey, lead designer at MyMiniFactory 35 hours to design each piece of the weapon, 70 in total, and then it took 1,000 hours to actually 3D print it all.
