Ubisoft should ask some indie docs to write a game making tutorial for them.

At they very least they should improve on their copy paste approach accross ALL games they make.

Generic , repetitive trash.

They don't have the competence to makes good games.

You mean repetitive trash like yoyoyo - seriously go Google ubisoft games 2019 and alone youl find least 5 games worthy of anyone's time

In all seriousness

I think they should start by not making every single one of their games open world

And while they're at it, they may also get rid of the infestation of microtransactions. Breakpoint was ridiculous.

Delay season!

I bet.

It happens so often now I wonder if its just marketing at this point. I mean this way you get your game for zero cost another time into the newscycle...
It was positive to hear developers not to rush and all that, but as for now: Get your project planning done right, foolish publishers. Seriously at this point it looks like somekimńd of systematic problem or really just cheap marketing.

I am pretty sure they delayed this game so they could remove more content to sell more microtransactions.

Yeah.. that's okay.. They are being delayed in order to be put on PS5,XScarlet but they are going for PS4 as well. It will give me more time to finished my games... Well, I guess I will never finished them but yeah.

Damm you Ubisoft give us a proper Rayman 4 already.
Not 2D but in 3D like Rayman 2 and 3 did so well.

I still wonder what a Rayman 4, before it transformed to Raving Rabbids, would've been like had it not turn into a party game. I'm still intrigued at the idea of what it could've been.

ubisoft delaying games. so a normal day than

Seriously, I'm actually glad about this one. Assuming everyone else makes their deadlines, Q1 2020 has more RPGs and big open world games coming out that I actually want than just about any time that I can remember recently. Tokyo Mirage Session Encore, Persona 5 Royal, Cyberpunk 2077. I just found out Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has been pushed back. I'm not too upset about that one, either.

I am not a big fan of Ubisoft anymore. They were one of my favorite developers during the PSX Era (I still play Rayman 1 from time to time) but like others said: EVERY game from them seems to be open world.

Open world in itself can be fine. But I prefere games that are more linear (not much exploration / freedome) but have a very good story in return.
There are only a few "good" open World games that managed to have a interesting story that I wanted to follow all the way to the end - GTA comes to mind.
But in most open world games - Fallout or the newer AC games for example - I loose interest in the story after a few hours of gameplay and never finish them.

Open World racing games are especially bad. What happened to good designed arcade racers with interesting track designs that support the arcade style gameplay?
One of the reasons why I think that Asphalt 9 for Switch is a very good game, while NFS has lost all of it's appeal.
Even Burnout went that route with Burnout Paradise...

Me: CAN Uplay?
Ubi: NO Ucan't.

Guess they're seeing the negative effects of crunch bite them in the ass.

Re: Division 2 not meeting expectations then I have to ask if these expectations were ridiculous. Too many times this last few years have we heard that something did not sell enough and it sold millions, about in line with any other game on a given platform and genre. In this case https://metro.co.uk/2019/07/18/division-2-best-selling-game-2019-claims-ubisoft-10412521/ -- their financials statements (so presumably reliable -- tax man and share holders do not like it when you lie in those) saying division 2 was the best selling title of the year.

Or do game companies expect mega hit after mega hit (or at least all the "microtransactions" to make up for it)? I know they all hope for it but planning for it is a different matter.

I am slightly curious about the effects of epic game store though. Sadly I doubt we will be getting numbers there any soon and I don't know how I might get close to inferring things.

PS5 Dev kit .. that's all I'm saying

yea they sell millions and millions even though their products are getting worse and worse and all the while being released unfinished etc etc. and they want more money... anyone that understands the original ps4 and xb1 power level would have already known that Watchdogs 3 would have a hard time running seeing that wd2 didnt run so great on everything as well.
