GodisaGeek: "I am always sceptical when a new shooter comes onto the scene, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s through no fault of my own. First Person Shooters have come bursting onto through the gaming scene as of late, bringing with them an audience that claim the latest CoD is the greatest thing to grace our consoles.
And that’s because those games very rarely create a sense of community, or a feeling of belonging that a good MMO or multiplayer platformer does. In a FPS title your team is expendable, or worse still will insufferably baby you through levels, online modes promote run and gun solo gameplay, no matter how many people you’re teamed with.
With Future Soldier, we have one of those rare moments where a game – or more specifically a development team – has put its foot down. Ubisoft has recognised this flaw and said ‘No!’ They have twisted the genre to change the solo mentality it sells."
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
Skull and Bones surprises with second-highest player engagement in Ubisoft's history, marking an unexpected success story.
Funny how all the clickhate was trying to spin that it was "struggling" to reach these very numbers.
“Ubisoft announced that ‘Skull and Bones’ boasts over four hours of average daily playtime.”
So the few people playing it are spending a lot of time playing it. But there aren’t enough whales to feed this fleet. This game will die like so many other live service money grabs that came before it.
I've read that same thing. Ifbtruebits not really impressive. Also maybe I missed it but I didn't catch any numbers in the article. Lastly what I did read felt more like an advertisement as if the site mightve caught a couple dollars from the publisher.
People are saying it's around 850k across all platforms and free trials. To put it into perspective Helldivers 2 has around 360k 24hr peak on Steam and another 300k at least on PS5, and no free trials.
Most likely. I tried the demo on PS5 and it looks so blurry I was shocked, crappy graphics. I thought for a minute I was playing the wrong version (PS4) but then again most games on PS4 look a 1000x better than this not to mention it's a grinding galore. F that.

Yea man, PS is doom now with these layoffs, watch the PS brand starts doing those same lame xbawx numbers from now on.;)
nice preview...but one thing I wish is that people would stop calling this game an FPS. GR:FS is a 3rd person shooter... period, end of story. Just like GRAW 1&2 were.
