I think you can't really blame the developers
the publisher controls everything
the publisher have a deal with MS to make console parity
and they didn't gave an enough time to the developers because they want the game to be released for the holiday seasons

XiYakushijuAkeginuXi3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Dude stop defending Ubisoft. Ubisoft are both the publisher and the developers are Ubisoft Montreal (Same s**t, different department). They are supposed to work together.

I put blame on the developers for not influencing the publishers that their product will be released as broken and potentially lose sales + credibility which would ruin future customers and relationships. And also Ubisoft publishers for being d**kheads and seeking profits. If your in it mostly for the profits, then I say get the hell out of the gaming realm and go to your basement and roll around in your beloved money

@XiYakushijuAkeginuXi
I'm not defending Ubisoft
but Ubisoft Montreal is just a studio owned by the publisher Ubisoft

and the publisher knew about ACU condition before the release that's why they set the embargo after the release

Army_of_Darkness3873d ago

I wonder if ubisoft meant "glitch parity" on both consoles?? Cause I would be outraged if my opposing console had less glitches!

Anonagrog3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

@XiYakushijuAkeginuXi,

Do you really think the devs -- those folks that slogged away for years actually creating it and willingly crunching for weeks or months on end -- wanted the sum total of their efforts to result in the sort of condemnation that's come about?

I can't help but feel bad for them myself (the dev team that is). As far as being a programmer goes there are certainly plenty of industries out there that are better paying and much less demanding on a person, so you really don't join the game industry for it's money that's for sure! It's all too easy to burn out; a combination of passion and necessity that all too often sees the former lose out to the latter. Yeah, so that taken into account, having their hard work berated like it has been probably sucked no end, especially as it must've been fairly clear to them that there were unresolved issues likely to mar it's release, with ultimate decision-making authority in the higher-ups' hands! :P

LegoIsAwesome3873d ago

After their mess you still believe in ubisoft?? I used to be a BIG UBISOFT FAN. but after unity's released my trust had been assassinated. Especially the "PARITY" shit they said. They want parity? WOw. I CAN SEE THE PARITY BETWEEN PS4/XONE. So clear brothers. The parity ubisoft said.

Plus for the rogue, they market shay with his templar costume with a hood, and it turns out it is not even included in the game?? LOL. Im really a AC/UBI fan. But after this released? Maybe not so much.

KTF263873d ago

@LegoIsAwesome
you really misunderstood me
I'm not defending Ubisoft
what I meant is the developers didn't have an enough time to complete the game because the HEAD OF UBISOFT want to release the game for the holiday seasons.

we should blame ubisoft not the developers inside ubisoft

freshslicepizza3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

can we stop with this parity stuff unless anyone has actual proof? watchdogs, a game marketed by sony was also shoddy. did microsoft make sure that game ran terrible too? unity is performing poorly on every platform. you have computers that cost over a grand that are having frame rate issues and glitches too.

they should stop the annual releases and make sure the assassin creed games are given the time they need, not forcing them to come out every fall.

...for the next? already? WTF? so they are gonna leave Unity broken as it is?

Steptoe3873d ago

I don't think there really was parity. I think they came out with that when they realised the game was running terrible on both consoles.

ironfist923873d ago

Please dont announce an AC game next year.

Release the next one in two years, your other games need help right now with optimisation and such.

badz1493873d ago

too late. I think they are working on it already. at the very least, I think they will release AC Rogue definitive edition for PS4, Xbone and PC.

Christopher3873d ago

Doesn't matter if they have more time or not. What matters is what upper management forces them to put into the game and how much time it takes to make that happen. The problem is that developers aren't able to decide how long it takes, that's what management does. And management's decisions are based on a need to release at the best time of the year to sell their game, not the best time of the year for when the developers are happy with the quality of the game.

g-nome3873d ago

Time for the series to be laid to rest.

contradictory3873d ago

Please take more time to actually make your product finished... the optimization problems with unity were dreadful

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy85465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis944d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde944d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils943d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia944d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack944d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain944d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall944d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast944d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
