XDefiant: Prone Mechanic Was Tested and Considered by Devs

For better or for worse, XDefiant doesn't let players go prone, and Ubisoft tested and considered adding it to the game.

I'd have to see this game for myself but it is giving me some red flags like The Finals.

It's fun. It's like COD but with character abilities. Best thing is it's F2P, so barrier for entry is non-existent.

The weekend will give me a good chance to play it then

Going to ubisoft was your mistake

So much wrong with Xdefiant. At one point they started using the worst ideas for their game and FPS fans saw it in the previews.

SpacedDuck12d ago

No offense but if Xdefiant represents your best the industry is better off for it.

"We had other issues though as well that we tried to be transparent about. For one we had crippling tech debt using an engine that wasn’t designed for what we were doing...Another issue we had was having the right resources to make content for the game."

Ubi set them up for failure out of the gate. And he says they had stuff in the pipes that should have been at launch means Ubi rushed it out and the devs didn't.

I knew it was DoA. They had their chance when the entire community hated MW3. It bounced back and did a dropshot 360 no-scope on XDefiant. That was it.
