Scott Nichols: ''Ubisoft has issued a statement as to why the Wii U release of Rayman Legends has been delayed along with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
An Ubisoft representative told Digital Spy that the Wii U version is not having any issues with development that would cause the game to be delayed.''
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Sounds like a lame bs excuse to me. Especially if the WiiU version is practically done.
"We usually release all of our platforms simultaneously (aside from PC). We've made special exception sometimes in the past but it's definitely just on a case by case basis and not our standard practice."
I guess the WiiU wasn't special enough. Sad when just 8 months ago they were praising the WiiU for it's innovation and promised a firm commitment. Just a big lie now
Microsoft wont take on a multiplatform game if they don't get it first. That's pretty much all there is to it.
Ubi trolled...They could not delay Assassins creed 3 for 3 weeks when Wii U version dropped, but they can delay a finished Wii U Rayman for 7 months...
Stick ya game now where the sun don't shine, to many good games around that time to bother with this
