Ubisoft Slightly Delays Three Games for Additional Development Time

Today, Ubisoft announced it is investing more time in the development of three upcoming games, including Far Cry 5 and The Crew 2.

That's a bummer but as long as its deserved. The crew is one of my favorite racing games and far cry 5 just looks so amazing.

[naruga]

probably they had a lot of microtransactions in them and took them back in development to avoid backlash

[fenome]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[paulust2002]

I’ll bet my balls you are correct.

[pinkcrocodile75]

Thanks @naruga for showing us how to pull made up stories out of our @rses and post them here.

[Ittoittosai]

No the PVP need major help.

[WorldGamer]

I actually think you may be onto something @naruga. Would be a good move on their part given what just happened to EA. But we may never know.

@pinkcrocodile75, kinda rude response on your part. I didn't take @naruga's comment as him making anything up, just speculating at the situation based on other current news in the gaming industry. This is a message board situation after all, are we not allowed to have a discussion or speculate?

[LandoCalrissiano]

Something like that can be adjusted immediately. Battlefront 2 they turned them off over night, nothing which more time is needed.

[G20WLY]

^that's what he-she's like, don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch. I agree that what naruga said seems likely, given the timing.

@Lando

Yeah, but the progression is still off because it was built around that crap. All they did was switch some numbers around to try to shut people up. If the progression is actually linked to the grind for money boxes and they scrap the boxes then it needs to get re-coded.

[LandoCalrissiano]

True but I don't think those games' progression has that kind of problem like bf2 cuz they're not the grinding type of games like you would in major online pvp.

[Smitty2020]

Classic Ubisoft they delay games n still screw the game up

[pinkcrocodile75]

That would have been correct with AC Unity but AC Origins is the bollocks and so is the new South Park: Fractured But Whole is just brilliant.

Now they are taking more time on 2 games and so they should if they need it.

I'm glad they seem to have gone back to the old "You'll get your new game when it's ready"

Good for you Unisoft.

[sizeofyou]

Hope you're right. They have a lot to benefit by pushing good "whole" games out to the gamer while EA currently reel in a majority of distrust and hatred...

[ziggurcat]

There is never anything wrong with allowing more development time.

[Gaming_Cousin]

Probably has something to do with ripoff micro transactions

[GhostTurtle]

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully it's on the positive side (the extra time to take em out and adjust the games).

[Ittoittosai]

Good the pvp in Far cry was ass.

[Ittoittosai]

Love how I get a disagree stating fact the PVP in far cry 5 is horrible.

[Smitty2020]

I agree

[DrShoe]

Obviously, this is to remove all those gambling/Wilson Loot boxes and other disgusting microtransaction nonsense.

[AnubisG]

Removing all the microtransactions and reworking basic gaming progression so it's not tided to them?

[CoryHG]

WAIT, WE FORGOT THE DRM!

[DarkZane]

Damn, I was looking forward to Far Cry 5 and The Crew 2.

[zaherdab]

Probably enough time to revise the microtransaction policies

[KillBill]

I welcome the delay... I was intending on purchasing both 'Far Cry 5' and 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance' and this gives me a longer time to enjoy KC:D before jumping into FC5.

[Father Murder X]

They are getting rid of the loot boxes and MT's for sure!!
