Ubisoft Needs More Than Rainbow Six To Stay Alive

Ubisoft is one of the bigger publishers in gaming, but it needs to step up its quality and offer more than Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin’s Creed to survive.

Give us more Rayman thanks...

I agree with this and I'd love to see a new Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Brothers in Arms, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and like the previous poster said a new Rayman.

The problem is Ubisoft isn't a great developer anymore. I hate saying that, but all their games are filled with filler and feel the same, nothing new. Then on top of that they have always on internet connection and microtransactions in their games.

Look at what they are doing to Beyond Good and Evil 2, a game me and so many people wanted a sequel to and it is nothing like the old one.

So as much as I agree Ubisoft needs more games, including new IP, I just don't trust that they know how to make good games anymore.

Plus in all honesty we as gamers need to start demanding more from them, just like we do of Activision and EA, because Ubisoft is the most anti-gamer company out there.

Agreed, Ubisoft is their own worst enemy. They just can’t get out of their own way.

Notice that Rainbow Six Siege is their most popular game, and yet it has stayed away from the copy/paste open world mission structure that we've seen them implement in all of their other big game franchises. I want an old-school Ghost Recon game, a proper Splinter Cell game with serious thought put into the missions, and I want Far Cry to go back to the more survivalist/ in the mud/ getting dirty/ realistic type of game that Far Cry 2 was trying to be. I don't want leveled enemies, and I don't want to play a game that is designed for players to grind for loot.

The Far Cry 2 formula would definitely benefit from some of Far Cry 3's quality of life improvements though. There are many aspects of that game that aren't particularly fun and waste your time without really adding much to the experience (at least for me) even though there are great things in FC2 that they franchise doesn't bother with anymore.

FC2 has some of the kind of mechanics that you would see in Death Stranding that are designed to stress you out and put you in bad situations but not as well implemented or thought out (as you'd expect with Ubisoft's first game in a franchise since AC1) along with more straightforward issues as well:
- malaria
- jamming weapons - okay with some version of this but I don't think this game is close quarters enough for this to actually get you in trouble in most cases so it doesn't add much mechanically.
- respawning camps
- empty world with sparse wildlife even though the background noise would have you think that the game was filled with animals.
- map felt like large corridors at times like in MGS5 which was good for combat encounters but irritating for driving and exploration. I respect the lack of a casual fast travel system (the buses are mildly helpful) but they need to make driving more fun then.

I know my comment may just seem very negative but Far Cry 2 did have:
- far better physics than Far Cry 5
- amazing fires
- a cool in-game map
- a very different feel and atmosphere
So, I get where you're coming from.

But, I will continue to play only R6.

I'd love a solid Splinter Cell that takes the best parts of Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory but significantly updated along with new additions. Reboot it, it's been long enough and have Lambert, Sam(voiced by Ironside) and the rest of Third Echelon. Have large maps much like the recent Hitman games and have it to where you can complete objectives as you see fit. For multiplayer bring back Spy's vs Mercs.

Revive the Prince of Persia series. Reboot it as well to start fresh. Use a similar art style reminiscent of the 2008 installment. That would help differentiate it from similar Ubisoft games like AC.

Bring back Rayman. I'd say Beyond Good and Evil 2 but that's coming and I have no interest in it. I'd like to see Ghost Recon go back to the Advanced Warfighter formula. I'd also love a Far Cry game with the mutation powers like Instincts had. It would also be cool to get a new Call of Juarez!
