Hybride and Ubisoft will move forward by sharing technology and developing tools for video games and visual effects. The acquisition is initially expected to generate sales of 6 -7 million Euros. We're certainly curious to hear what the first game will be that uses Hybride's artists post-purchase in its production.

That's such an awesome shot from the movie

Well, that movie is badass in general.

Every shot of that movie is worth framing...so awesome.

Well since most of their recent games have been generic crap lately, then this may offer them a lifeline outside the games arena... which they obviously cant handle...

Any news on the Sin City game? I haven't seen much (anything at all) since it was announced a while ago.

New recruits of Ubisoft, tell me...

I hate to see independent companies gobbled up by larger ones, but for Ubisoft, that seems like a very solid acquisition.

Isn't that Robert Rodriguez FX studio?

sort of along the lines of what I was wondering. I thought he handled all the effects in house - literally, in his house. I thought he made a full fledged studio for himself there.

Hybride is not located in Montreal, but in Piedmont, about an hour north of Montreal.

I was thinking the same thing, though most people have no idea where Piedmont is, so "Montreal-based" is the inaccurate-but-easy way around that. Then again, I'm sure there are folks who don't know where Montreal is..
