EDGE: "Once a Wii U exclusive, Rayman Legends will now be released on 360, PS3, Vita and PC too – a move which might make business sense, but it still caused consternation among owners of Ninendo’s home console earlier this year."
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.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen
If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?
Follow the Leader.
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…
Is there a way to vote down articles for misreporting facts?
Since the moment it happened it has been restated by every Nintendo fan everywhere that they did not care in the slightest about it going multi-platform. They were angry solely because of the "7 month delay", yet he we are again with someone trying to push that nonexistent occurrence forward to stir up hits.
No one who owns are Wii U cares that its going to the PS3, Vita or anything. Please stop trying impose your wishful thinking of butthurt from Nintendo fans onto the actual reality of the matter.
As I have said, bad move Ubisoft, Multi platform? could care less, moved from original release date? very bad.. there may be a few buyers but When the game comes out it will be going up against 3D MARIO WORLD, DK TROPICAL FREEZE AND SONIC LOST WORLDS... MILLIONS OF NINTENDO FANS ARE GOING TO CHOOSE THESE GAMES OVER RAY MAN!!! How many nintendo loyalists do you think are going to pick, A cult game like ray man over, a great Mario and Donkey Kong game?? Not many!! I played all 3 games at best buy, on the e3 week demo, and let me tell you, Mario and DK blew ray man out of the water!!! no one said at the best buy I was at that they were gonna buy ray man over mario or dk!!! so see you in the 19.99 bin Rayman!! you blew it ubisoft, wait until you see the sales, you WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
what's done is done. whatever happens when it's finally released, and how good/bad the sales go, will be Ubisoft's doing.
what's sad though is that when sales for the Wii U ends up below than expected, people will tend to blame Nintendo. oh well.
