Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot, has declared that the Wii U will no longer be a home for Ubisoft’s mature games, but what does the term mature mean for games in 2014?
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
i don't care about the type, the violence level, the color level or whatever, it's the QUALITY of the game that matters the most, the theme comes second
Just a mature direction often with mature themes. This doesn't mean it has to have blood and gore and some dudebrah blowing a guy away with a sawn off shotgun. Mature really means a story driven game hat have grown up themes
Personally, i believe that The Witcher games has a very mature direction, and it doesn't treat the player as a child (like most games released).
If you've played the games and read the books, then you know it's not just a simple game with nudity for the sake of it. Some of the scenes are pretty gruesome, but it's necessary to teach some a lesson.
The writing plays a big part. If you compare the writing in Fallout 3 compared to Fallout New Vegas, sometimes I feel like my character in Fallout 3 is a child because of the way characters in the game speak to me. Vegas doesn't have the most mature writing of all games but it was a huge improvement over F3.
Scenes of explicit violence, nudity, language & gore
