Ahead of Ubi Forward, a message from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot

Ubisoft CEO talks about their values and what they stand for.

-Foxtrot1535d ago

So he's basically doing this to try and win some love back before they reveal new games later

A strategy, a tactic...nothing more

morganfell1535d ago

Just wants to pay lip service to every social trend before they rev up their engines and step on the GaaS.

-Foxtrot1535d ago

Exactly

"We're sorry"

"Now buy our next game"

I think it's more about sexual misconduct that was happening.

-Foxtrot1535d ago (Edited 1535d ago )

Yeah I know it is

But instead of apologising when it actually happened, speaking out properly instead of hiding until the backlash died down he's come out now with a shitty apology because there's a Ubisoft games event in a few hours.

More to do about giving a quick apology so people can get hyped for their new games.

So is what he is saying in the message wrong? Is it immoral for a CEO or corporation to want to be on the right side of history when it comes to such matters?

Or should they they just shut up and make games cause it interferes with your social/political views?

No winning here.

They don't address it -> get criticized for not addressing it.

They address it -> get criticized for trying to win some love back.

I honestly don't know who is right or wrong, but at least they put themselves out there and made it about their issues. I think that's better than just ignoring it entirely. I don't think they're "good guys" at all, but this is a problem with the structure of large businesses in general. Just solve that shit, hire people who aren't as shitty and have talent, move on, be better.

Saying it's nothing more is a bit unfair. Yves isn't some heartless bastard who doesn't care about anybody. I'm not the biggest fan of ubisoft but this guy cares about his people and his customers. With that being said yes it is definitely being timed before today's show because that's when the most people are paying attention to ubisoft.

Thing is with Ubisoft games there is no passion they just set a barrier of average everything and are happy with it, by the looks of it that follows it in the office behaviour of conduct as well

mikeboccher1535d ago

We went an entire console generation with no new splinter cell games think about that

Oh, this is exciting. Grant Kirkhope is one of my favorite game composers and he already has done incredible work together w Soliani. Can't wait to see what they have cooking w their new studio, and it sounds like Kirkhope will be getting more involved w game development beyond just composing in the future!

Red Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan actor really wants to work with Hideo Kojima

Talking to thousands of fans on Twitter, Clark revealed that he would love to work with the “genius” that is Hideo Kojima. With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach in development, alongside Xbox exclusive OD and other games, Kojima certainly has a lot of roles that the Red Dead Redemption actor could slot into.

Two legends in one game would be amazing. Maybe there's some role in Physint, he's secretly working on.

Maybe they were replaced by AI.

Call me a cynic. But it seems that not even the people working in the studio know what’s the status of Halo.

They were going to add a BR mode, which then got cancelled, but now it’s a sequel to infinite, but may be a reboot of the first game?

It may be normal for development to be like this as super Mario galaxy started as cut content from Mario 128, which then became a tech demo, which became pikmin, which eventually became Mario galaxy.

But 343 or whatever they are called now-certainly don’t have a good track record so it makes me wonder what’s happening.

porkChop5d ago

The Halo: CE remake is a separate project from the Infinite sequel.

Knightofelemia5d ago

Maybe all the staff got laid off.

TheColbertinator5d ago

I'd be much more comfortable with the future of Halo if "343" or whatever they call themselves now were no longer in charge of the series.
