VG24/7 - "PS4 and Xbox One are just a few weeks away; if you haven’t already made up your mind, now’s the time. In our third and final rundown of the games accompanying the new hardware we check out those titles coming to both new systems in November."
Prototype footage from several of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed titles has leaked, revealing early stages of their development.
BY JASON MONROE: The very best pirate-themed video games that you should play instead of the disappointment that is Skull and Bones.
PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???
And they never fixed it.
Ubisoft has just released Skull and Bones on PC and consoles. And, from the looks of it, the game wasn’t received well by some gamers. Not only that but it appears that Skull and Bones can be worse than Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, a game that came out a decade ago.
I wanted a Black Flag sequel so bad. It's still my favorite AC entry. The fact that they ignored everything that we loved about that game in this "spiritual successor" is making me enjoy watching this game crash and burn quite a bit. Either do it right or don't do it at all. (I understand the legal binding they got themselves into with the Singapore government to release this game at all costs)

11 years of development. Multiple restarts. All the while people have been saying they don't want some pirate game where you can't even get off your ship. 11 years of people telling Ubisoft all they want is a pirate game that's basically Black Flag without any of the assassin or animus stuff. Yet they still served up this trash that no one wanted, charged $70 for it, and had the balls to call it AAAA.
The Guillemot family honestly needs to be forced out of Ubisoft. They've doubled down on everything players don't like about their games, they want AI to create "rough drafts" of their stories rather than letting their writers do their jobs, and they literally do not give a shit what their playerbase actually wants. 5-6 years ago their stock was worth more than 4x what it's currently worth. The company is dying.
What has happened to developers? How can you possible make a worse looking game 11 years later? It’s honestly mind boggling.
Enough has been said about this game already. The gaming world shrugged when it was announced so many years ago, and instead of listening to all the criticisms from the community back then, Ubi just sailed on and kept making a game nobody really wanted. What a waste of money and effort.
I am getting ASIV:BF and maybe BF4 at launch.
I'm probably getting "a lot" of games that aren't exclusives this time around (From Battlefield 4 to AC4), along with Knack and Killzone: Shadows Fall. I'd would have liked it if the PS4 had a much deeper exclusive launch line up for 2013 although I'm expecting that eventually more exclusives will be announced for the PS4 down the road. Although those F2P titles like Planetside 2 will be fun to play on the console.
The Xbox One line up has Forza 5, which I'd honestly love to play (But I have GT6 for now). Dead Rising 3 looks addictingly fun but I haven't really played enough of the Dead Rising games to absolutely have to have it. I'm also really not that interested in Killer Instinct and or Ryse but perhaps I could be completely wrong "if" or "when" I play them.
Now if Titanfall was an exclusive launch title for the Xbox One that would really sway my choice to Xbox One. Although I can probably get it for 360 or P.C and I doubt it's 100% exclusivity to Microsoft products and consoles, most likely a timed exclusive.
For me the only reason I'm buying an Xbox one is halo 5 and the better online multiplayer.
Sony should make a pokemon copy cat for vita
A Gta copy cat (Getaway)
A scifi shooter with badass fututistic outfits (halo copycat)
And an Uncharted / Infamous crossover TPS
And a Zoids and/or Gundam game with customizable mechs, that u can enter or exit at anytime, with an online world similiar to GTA online
