Before Disney purchased Marvel for $4 billion in May 2012, Sega had released console and PC games based on the first two Iron Man movies. With Iron Man 3 blowing away box office records (over $175.3 million domestic for a total of $680.1 million worldwide) in under two weeks, there’s only a free mobile game from Gameloft for gamers.
Disney has failed to capitalize on Marvel video games in the console space, sitting out Marvel’s The Avengers last summer (Ubisoft had a non-movie Avengers: Battle for Earth comic-based game out last fall for Xbox 360 Kinect and Wii U). Disney has had success with the free-to-play Facebook game, Marvel Avengers Alliance from Playdom, and there’s always the potential for an Avengers game tied into the upcoming Avengers 2 movie.
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot isn't worried about about GTA 6 and states that from their experience, games available during a GTA launch do well.
Brave words.... GTA V has done well since 2013 to date. 11 years, Yves.
Old man, now that it's even trendy, it's time to step down, Ubisoft is looking worse than ever.
You've not had to worry about a GTA game being released for over a decade bro. There are games bigger than what Ubi shites out that avoid releasing around the time of GTA, that's how massive GTA is.
I if I were other devs I wouldn't worry neither, especially since down the line rockstar will abandon offline support and fully focus on online only bs. Hopefully Gta 6 is made with plenty of depth and not just gorgeous graphics, come on rockstar come back and show how open world games should be.
Rockstar putting out a new GTA or Red Dead Redemption is like Kendrick Lamar putting out a new album: it doesn't happen often.
... But when it does, it's an industry-stopping event where you'll enjoy it and go through it time and again to really peel back the layers of the experience, coming away with new perceptions each time.
Ubisoft is known for prolific, cookie cutter slop. Which I would probably compare to Drake post-NWtS.
It appears that Ubisoft is still pursuing NFTs. It has partnered with Double Jump Tokyo to work on an NFT multiplayer RPG project.
Well you look at how many games are in development with NFT’s currently you can see they’re preparing for the next bull-run this Fall.
Man, I haven't even heard anyone mention NFTs in ages. NFTs are dead. The Guillemot family just keep finding ways to damage their business. They need to go.
big eyeroll moment
gamers: "hey we hate nfts"
Ubisoft: "oh u really really like NFTs u say?"
I'd love to see a quality Avengers or Iron Man game.
Yea, man. Same goes for The Dark Knight Rises too. Huge movie, but game was only available on mobile devices. Although Avatar had a game out, but it under-performed in terms of sales...

And they were right to . Everyone needs to stop releasing movie games adaptations , the only time they are decent is when they set out to transform a game already under development (like what happens with wolverine and Spiderman 2) or when it's done regardless of a movie's release date .
And before disney pursue Marvel stuff they need to hire or build good enough studios .
Not to mention getting some rights back from the filthy hands of activision .
Ironman 2 was a decent game by Sega I thought, much better than the first one anyway.
Wolverine Origins was a fun game
