Don't worry, this one's definitely gonna be AAAAAAAA
They're wasting such a badass historical figure in Yasuke on such a color by numbers game.
It's just going to be a shit version of ghost of tsushima
I'm sure it's fine, right guys? Guys? This is the AAAA company, it'll be great right?
Just when the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima was announced - I don’t think it’s a coincidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z7kqwuf0a8
I don't think they're related but it is a hilarious turn of events for ubisoft
Wow, this really gives me confidence that it’s going to a great game. Time to preorder for 70!

AAAA Game let's gooooooo
I feel like a lot of companies that put the most emphasis on making diverse IP make the worst products. I don't think that the lack of quality is due to diversity. Rather, I think that companies with soulless corporate leadership have a habit of producing mediocre content and attempting to obfuscate said mediocrity by making an otherwise uninspiring game a referendum on the culture war.
I'm willing to bet that there are developers who can make a game that is more organically diverse and genuinely fun, but that they don't get an honest shot due to the state of modern gaming.
Anyway this game is gonna be crap, IGN is gonna give it a 10/10, and Polygon is gonna go on a tirade when it underperforms in the same way every AC game since black flag has underperformed.
what do you mean by diverse IP? Ubisoft has notoriously done the exact opposite by eliminating every distinguishing characteristic of their games and converging all of their designs into assassin's creed with another name. Ubisoft has one of the least diverse portfolio of any AAA company, and that's saying something.
the only good (and diverse) things that come out of Ubisoft have been from a small team inside that somehow missed all the rituals to sell their souls to Asmodeus so they keep making bangers like Rayman and the recent Prince metroidvania.
Sadly, I think this person is railing against "having more than just white guys featured" (as if that's forced, when you start making games in new locations around the world) rather than the bland Ubi-style open-world map checklist that you might expect to be the sane complaint.
oh. going through their profile certainly suggests that way. it's weird to call that "diverse IP"... but weird is pretty on brand for that crowd i guess.
I mean it is a diverse portfolio, but only on the very shallow surface level. Like COD or FIFA, AC games are the same every year / 2 years with a different skin.
I remember when it was actually different 10+ years ago, like when we got AC Unity, Black Flag close by, with some Far Cry 3 on the side. Their open worlds had similar elements, but it was still very different at the core.
Now it’s just repetitive and boring.
By diverse I believe he meant the DEI stuff.
I want Ubisoft to crumble.
They're working on it
Feels like they are buying their own booster packs to speed things up.
Can I have a solid Black Flag remaster first?
No, just play Black Flag.
