It’s been a long wait for new consoles since the Xbox 360 kicked off this gen in 2005, but the PS4 and Xbox One are finally out this holiday. - PSLS
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented on Grand Theft Auto 6, the future of Xbox, and Skull and Bones' pricing during the company's financial conference call.
No it won't, it will just further highlight the huge disparity in top tier open world games and Ubi's poor attempts at them.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked about the company's plans for the convergence between AI and creativity in game development.
Cool so I'm just going to have to climb towers in a more reactive world thanks ubi that wasn't your problem.
In my view ubi needs to clean house rehire all the writers because their stories are paper thin this focus on needing to be woke play as anyone has done nothing but harm the quality of their games which have gotten so bad lately it somehow makes their average games from 10 years ago look like masterpieces
Why don’t you just focus on making good games again? Hurts me to see what a soulless shell of a company Ubisoft has become. Captain Laserhawk on Netflix is the most creative thing they’ve had anything to do with in a decade. Which is just sad.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot and CFO Frederick Duguet talked about Skull & Bones, Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and continued to tease the unannounced "big game" which is now slated for Q4.
That whole statement about the ABK deal I heard as "Hey, we're available for sale for $68B as well! Come buy us! We have good mobile IPs as well!"
I'm not saying it couldn't but after what they've just went through, imagine getting another one passed.
Right. Because that'll happen, even though this gen should have taught Microsoft and Sony not to rely so heavily on the 10-year plan.
I'd say we might see a 5.5 year wait, with either Sony or Microsoft choosing to release ahead of the holidays.
Given how they were designed you'd expect another 10 year cycle if not longer. Especially given the way MS tried to just dump DRM instead of phasing it in.
Then again given their and Nintendo's mistakes this might be only a 4-5 cycle.
Edit:
And lets just forget that this is someone from Ubisoft saying this.
They will last much longer than 5 years.
ps3 came out in 2006, that's 7 years when ps4 is released. I could see 1 more solid year from ps3, which would put it at 8 and that's closer to 10 than the 5 this article suggests next gen will last.
