Theres been a slight delay of our Far Cry 4 benchmark article and for good reason. Ubisoft like always come out with a few patches early after release, and I wanted to wait a week or two before jumping to conclusions about the games optimization.
“Assassin’s Creed” publisher Ubi soft is trying to emerge from a rocky few years. CEO Yves Guillemot breaks down the new strategy for success.
“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.

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.
Ubisoft announced its financial results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025-2026, related to the period between April and December 2025.
Makes sense as it released on the Switch 2 within the time frame Ubisoft listed up above. It didnt just jump up for nothing. Not sure why people disagree with you but I have two pretty good guesses as to why. 😆
Riiiight. Let’s pretend that Assassins creed Shadows was a major success (rinse repeat different setting, same assassins creed stuff with bs “new” features) . The game has been practically half off since release.
All their number are from the holiday sales, and Shadows is selling well under what they expected to sell it for. Let’s recap: The second expansion was scrapped, as was the season pass, the co-op was canceled (seriously guys wtf?) and any dlc was downsized in scale effort (Attack on Titan, did not help either, just say’n). This was all a result of recent poor reception/performance in sales and Ubisoft literally downsized, restructured production because of it. If this is success, they are going to have big problems next quarter.
Don’t believe the hype.
Anybody getting blue/purple transparent squares all over the screen when playing, it's driving me nuts, it's unplayable in this state, every other game works perfectly.
I have tried everything, uninstalling, installing drivers and the game itself, i have a Asus Gtx970 Strix SLI setup.
System specs pic related.
I get 65-90fps with setting in second pic related.
However I do get sudden 1 ms drops top 55 fps and game freezes for a second I guess when a new section loads?
I had this problem in Skyrim also, but that was fixed in a later patch.
Hoping this issue is fixed too, otherwise FC4 runs perfectly, have not had a single crash, some flying monkeys and npc's, nothing game breaking.
