Is Ubisoft Losing it?
happyorangeman | 2:30 PM on 01.06.2008 8 comments


I was just reading Surfer Girls Blog (Yeah I know it's just gossip), and came across an interesting little story. It's about Ubisoft's delays of inferior products. Here is the quote and link to the page.

Disaster: Ubisoft and the Kingdom of Delayed Product

Kudgel informs of the latest episode of the perpetual situation comedy known as Ubisoft.

The videogame based on Lost was so terrible that when the company sent it to Sony for approval, they refused, saying "no, your game is too boring and has no gameplay, we don't want it on the Playstation 3." This videogame will beat records at being bad and will bomb really hard.

The next Splinter Cell game has been redone three times over already. Developers just can't seem to include good gameplay in it. That's part of why it got delayed. Same can be said about Rainbow Six Vegas 2. The story was abysmal and it was supposed to be a prequel to Vegas in the early stages of development. Developers then said it made no sense at all, because the first Vegas game finished with a "To Be Continued" screen. They delayed it to work on the story and add some maps.

Far Cry 2 has also been delayed because it was terrible. The game does not look like NEAR what has been shown. Even with the best PC available to the developers, the game just does not match what has been shown so far. Far Cry 2 is both bad and requires one hell of a machine (PC) to run.

I have not yet played my copy of Assassin's Creed but my bro' says it's ok. mMaybe they are losing they're touch or is this just good quality control after what happened to Assassins Creed not really living up to the hype?

I have grown a strong distrust of Ubisoft games lately... If it's made by them, I'm renting before I decide whether I want the game or not.

I don't want them to fail cause I want them to keep EA on their toes. Competition is great that way.
Trevor McGee's Destructoid Blog
Assassin's Creed is a good game, not great but good. People just give it shit because they over hyped it themselves and were disappointed that it didn't make them a sandwich in bed or something. That or they over hyped it because Jade Raymond has tits and they thought that somehow her tits would make the game the greatest game ever. I just ignored her and the over hyping and I enjoyed the game for what it was. I loved the acrobatics and of course tackling and stabbing people.

"Could be worse, they could be Silicon Knights."
mmm, especially since the Too Human was originally for the PS1...

Lost I see that happening because its not like they go around the island shooting people and you can just watch the show to see all the talking

RSV2 yeah, "Too Be Continued? fuck that, PREQUEL!"

Splinter Cell Conviction: I liked the idea of you looking like a hobo just punching the crap out of everyone! Seriously, I did.

Farcry 2 being delayed, I wasn't aware of it having a release date to begin with.

Trevor McGee took the words right out my mouth.

@ Redzie

I think we have Activision (the new EA) for that. Also, I don't want anyone to fail. Moar games = moar games.
happyorangeman's Destructoid Blog
I really hope they don't just start putting out sequels every year to counter other releases (I'm looking at you EA). Do we really need a Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell every year, I mean look at the Tony Hawk Series. Quality over quantity. Unless we are talking about Prozac...then the more the merrier!
