Mechanics from Ubisoft open world games can be found in highly acclaimed titles like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn, said Yves Guillemot.
He also explained Ubisoft's recent focus on multiplayer games as a response to what customers want nowadays.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

I do agree that Ubisoft tends to get too much flack for this, but then again their games are usually still rough when they ship. We'll see what happens with Origins.
Games borrow from each other all of the time. Imitation is a form of flattery.
He's right. But Zelda did it better... Horizon Zero Dawn copied almost everything from Ubisoft games and the new Tomb Raider...
Horizon ZD = Ubisoft games simulator
True, its the way it is.You can tell Some of BOTW is prevalent in the new AC as well.
Borrowed and made funner games.
