Well the three biggest publishers other than the three platform holders are Activision, Unisoft, EA.
So once Activision is no longer a multiplatform publisher, you better start liking what Ubisoft has to offer because there isnt really that much choice anymore.
First of all don't be too sure about Activision acquisition going through. And I agree right now the those supporting acquisitions don't realize this will leave us with less options
Take two EA ubi
All try to out do each other not quality but in greed
Only other options are
Embracer group (which I think are bigger than anyone else)
JackBNimble since you asked not sure me or the other user but here are games from Activision that I own
Crash trilogy Spyro trilogy Crash 4 Crash racing Prototype Marvel ultimate alliance 1-2 True crime Transformers war and fall of Cybertron All COD since MW for their single player stories
So maybe yes there are gamers who may not play many Activision games but that shouldn't mean that they should be acquired. IMO acquisitions should only happen when another company is in deep trouble like THQ and Midway were back in the day
Who the fuck is getting excited when Activision says "we have an large unannounced game" Some of y'all try to start console wars on every single post. When it doesn't need to happen. Activision was going to sell to a company regardless be it Tencent , Amazon or Microsoft. They offered to Sony too. They were dealing with controversy and poorly run that is what got them there.
That was neither here not there. How is stating the truth “trying to start a console war”? What you mean to say is that die to your bias, you would rather some things aren't discussed. Well, sorry but Im personally not happy with the industry shrinking. Sorry if it bothers you.
No this simply has nothing to do with Activision or EA. Activision and EA have always been kind of known for these issues more than Ubisoft. Ubisoft between pumping out Far Cry and Assassins Creed became more known for these issues. Before they took Splinter Cell the action route Chaos Theory, Rainbow Six Vegas and many of their games were focused on staying in overall their lane letting their developers cook not hugely milking anything. Even early creed games like 1,2, brotherhood . Activision and EA big projects have been "aight' for a while. "You better start liking Ubisoft because there isn't a choice". There is indie, AA and AAA studios galore. I can't think of a Activision or EA title I have been excited to play in many many years versus Ubisoft lead to some of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. Neither of which could be said for Activision or EA . I get what you are going for about big publishers dwindling but simply being AAA doesn't mean you are creating experiences most people want to play. I could care less about Call of Duty and that is the main game at stake with Activision. I own a PS5 and PC so how can I really be bias because Activision games don't interest me . Again don't start console war bullshit under my post lol
I'm thinking it's Splinter Cell as a live service game.
-it's been a while and they need to get people excited; - There's no opposition (maybe.... Depends if Metal Gear rumors are true); - They need to monetize it as much as possible.
Ubisoft: "so pictures this is ghost recon with purple guns and we've blatantly ripped off the big 12 month old industry trend but we called it something else. And umm it's inclusive yeah super inclusive I mean we aren't but the game is"
"Are you guys ready for this? This is going to blow your minds! Imagine, Assassin's Creed.... now with 50% more towers and collectibles! Are you not excited? Wait there's more! ... an always online connection ̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶w̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶t̶r̶o̶l̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶m̶o̶v̶e̶ so that we can bring you unparalleled immersion into our breathtaking world!"
Is it going to be like Far Cry, Ass Creed, Watch Dogs, Division, Rainbow Six… or all of the above?
I’ve completely lost faith in this company. Where’s Beyond Good and Evil 2? Last I heard they didn’t know what to do with it despite having the first game to go by…
Techraptor are using the same source of information and splitting it into several articles to discuss one line from each.
For me, this is bad practice and done simply for clicks. Just post the source and a break down of the source to save us all having the same conversation across multiple posts so that you can get extra ad revenue.
Ubisoft need to realize the hype for them is at a all time low mane they think quantity = classics smh hogwarts legacy is avalanche’s first next gen title n that games looks/ is amazing seriously it’s like they act so damn slow nowadays, a well polished ac game with actual assassin lore etc would revive the series but instead they treat the franchise like cell phone game releases and watch dogs omg so much potential but they act so stupid towards it I’m at the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if some dedicated gaming studio buy assassins creed n watch dogs Ubisoft only cares bout the money nowadays they probably would sale them smh
There's nothing that Ubisoft has that's going to impress me. Sorry Ubisoft. Unless it's a next gen AAA Splinter Cell that looks and plays mind blowing like PlayStation BIG AAA games. Other than that, I don't expect anything to ''wow'' me from third parties.
Despite all the hate, I will say that Ubi seems to be getting the message. They are making a throwback ass creed and athough breakpoint was terrible on release, the incremental updates have actually turned it into a pretty good game with many different ways to play. Still a bit too cluttered and trying to do too much but overall pretty great if you like tactical action. I'm really hoping they announce a new ghost recon that goes back to its roots as well.
When Ubisoft says Unannounced large game we used to get excited but at this point its like "aight"
Better be a new Splinter Cell!
Can't remember last time I even bought a ubisoft game. Assassins creed doesn't do it for me and that's about what they specialize in anymore.
Star wars game yes please.
