“Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years“
^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.
I was a bit gutted with The Division, too many bells and whistles like Far Cry. Never rated Prince of Persia or The Crew. Rayman, it’s too long in the tooth, lay it to rest.
Far Cry and Assassin's Creed, this is all Ubishit can make. It would be better if Ubishit just close down, and sell their other IP's, like Splinter Cell, Beyond Good and Evil, etc. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed can just die, that is enough.
'The economy is in shambles and these companies are still talking about sustaining growth instead of sustaining their business.'
They should just make games. That sounds crazy, I know, but, hear me out.
No need for dev-times to.take 3+ years. Just stick to formula. Not every game needs to be bigger & better than everything else. Not every game needs to be GaaS. Not every game needs to completely re-invent the wheel.
They KNOW how to make a cool Splinter Cell game; Interesting story, 8-10 levels, just go and make it. Give the people want they know, want and love. It doesn't need to be a shared online experience. It doesn't need to be an epic big open world. It doesn't need celebrity voice-acting. Just make a cool new SC game, and the fans will be happy and pick it up. Easy. Done. Next one.
Same for Prince of Persia, Watch-Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Trials, Rayman, Brothers in Arms, etc.
More DLC and incomplete games lol thats their plan.
Assassins Creed 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, plus lots of Assassins Creed DLC and DRM on all of their games?
Just give me a classic RainbowSix game like the originals, but with modern day graphics and no perks, kill streaks or any of that kind of fucking bullshit.
Thats all I want Ubi... Oh ya and Watch Dogs :S
let me guess,uh assassins creed 5,6,7,8,9,10....50,no prince of persia or a sequel to the 08 game with the huge cliffhanger,no beyond good and evil 2,more assassins creed milk,drip,drip,drip.
Everyone dissing them for AC but no one praising Watch Dogs which as of now looks like the best next gen game.
