Why Do Ubisoft's Handheld Games Suck?

GamingUnion.net: It's not news that the handheld scene sees a plethora and over-saturation of games that hit the market. Most of them aren't that great and the good ones are really quite far and few between. Ubisoft is easily one of the more notable publishers that constantly fart out really shoddy handheld titles, most of which are usually movie tie-ins or mere after-thoughts of the big boys on PS3 and Xbox 360.

There are some good titles, but they are far and few between. It's a shame, really.

Hardedge5164d ago

Tenchu, despite its low Metacritic score, was a really decent game. Much better than Ubi's recent stuff.

Cheeseknight285164d ago

There really is next to no good games made by Ubisoft on a portable. I checked every GBA, DS, and PSP game they've published - the best I could find were LostMagic and Tenchu. LostMagic was mediocre, but unique at least.

In fact, Ubisoft's console games are pretty bad too. Without Assassin's Creed, they basically have nothing. Last generation they had Prince of Persia and Rayman which were excellent series but now they are not quite the same. I love the Rabbids, but I'd like to see a good new Rayman game.

tweex5164d ago

Even as much as I love the AC series, the handhelds just never did it for me :(.

Hardedge5164d ago

Yeah, same here, it felt like little to no care was given.

Hardedge5164d ago

Bloodlines was really bad. It had the potential but I think Ubi dropped the ball with it.

rabidpancakeburglar5164d ago

It's because generally handheld games are spinoffs of console games, and spinoffs often suck the big one

Hardedge5164d ago

I agree wholeheartedly, the spinoffs/ports are just really bad. The games that were specifically designed for handhelds, however, are usually pretty good.

mephman5164d ago

It's just disappointing that they can take their premium franchises, like Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, and butcher them so much.

Trroy5164d ago (Edited 5164d ago )

The PoP games on the PSP are actually really good. The sound issues that were reported on the reviewed UMD versions aren't present on the digital versions at all.

TheEatingChampagne5164d ago

POP games on the PSP were the same as the console ones...

Trroy5164d ago

Plus some large amount of extra content, yes. And they, like the console ones, were very good.

What's your point?

One of the best game series's to come out in the history of gaming.

haha Ouch? Because one guy moved on to something else? Next, you'll be twisting it and trying to pretend like this is good news for the PS3.

Only on N4g, lmao

Omegasyde5892d ago

Alot of directions making videogames now...wtf.

I can't wait until Quentin Tarantino announces something.

macalatus5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

My fellow Sony gamers, this must be considered as a victory for the entire video game industry! Though the article didn't say, it pretty much seems that Jim Veevaert got sick and tired of promoting a product that only exploits the weak-minded 12-year olds for the benefit of a shameless company called M$!

As evidenced by the video below, which shows the great damage done on the regular 360 users, there is no doubt that he was haunted by his conscience, causing him to leave! We salute you, Mr. Veevaert, for following your conscience!

Sony Gamers Lead the Way!

ShiNe-Box-5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

Thanks for that video mac. Because of it, my neighbor won't be renewing his Xbox Live membership any time soon.

ShabzS5892d ago

hey lets have a psn nerds argue movie too.... oh wait no cross game voice chat right ... darn it

II Necroplasm II5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

Yes this is a true victory for Sony.

LMAO... Nerds

Halo3 MLG Pro5892d ago

LMAO!!!!!! I freaking love this site!!!!

FamilyGuy5892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

sure is defensive in here :/

@ Shbzshar

We can still talk to people we're in the same game as fool. You don't need cross game chat to call an a$$hole a a$$hole.

I hope the studio becomes successful and the departures were for a good reason/not in vain.

Knightrid8085892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

I'll never get my time wasted watching that video. Somebody needs to slap these idiots.

caladbolg7775892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

@macalatus: Bad comment. Funny video. Disagreed. De-bubbled.

@Shbzshar: You should know better. The video doesn't show crossgame voicechat via XBOXLive. It's of an argument over in-game lobby chat, which PS games tend to have. Don't be a tw@t. It causes your fanboy to hang out.

ShabzS5892d ago

breeaath people... reeelaax... calm down

AAACE55892d ago (Edited 5892d ago )

Hahaha...

An Ecec left MS and you consider that a victory...Haha... Did you forget that Sony has went through a couple presidents?

What was his name? You know, the bald headed guy who went to work for Atari. The same guy who kept preaching to you about how great the Ps3 was, yet if he truely believed it, he would still be there!

Haha, you make fun of MS' taking advantage of 12 year olds, but sony are taking advantage of grown people who still haven't learned how to tell when someone is bullsh*ttin them.

Hilarious!!!

Now can we get back to civilized conversation, now that everyone has let their fanboy comments out?
