wtf is going on with these idiots?
>>726097917hur durr yasuke assassin LOLOLOLOL
>>726097960Ubisoft would've still stalled the trade if the protagonist was only Naoe.
>>726097917i should a bought before they closed the trading, i bet behind closed doors they are making a sweet sweet deal with the saudis to go private
>>726098145Which Ubisoft games are Saudis trying to turn into an esport titles? For Honor?
>>726098143Even if Shadows had been the best selling AC ever it couldn't have saved the company. They have been bleeding money ever since the end of the lockdown.
>>726097917They like losing money.
>>726098250saudis have the taste of mexican kids, i bet they slobber after the assasins creed propertysomeone give me a tip on a stock to go long on to console me
>>726098145Yeah this seems super likely.
>>726097917Who cares
>>726097917Killing themselves in 4k
>>726097917being billions in debt that they have to pay off on 1/1/27 with no exit strategy or good products to climb out of debt with
>>726098250 Lmao yeah, For Honor is probably the one. Saudis love spectacle and For Honor's basically anime knights on steroids already. Wouldn't be shocked if they try to reboot it with cash, new netcode, regional tournaments out of NEOM or some shit. They’ll probably try to turn The Crew into some "visionary motorsport platform" next, too. Just wait.
>>726098145They could also be having trouble with the Tencent deal. Look at how dire this year is.
>>726097917>Frenchit's impossible for them to NOT be a bunch of retards
>>726097917Should have made more Mario + rabbids games
>>726099019I am honestly glad rabbids are dead, Rayman might not have been a series I particularly liked but I'm still upset it died in vain
>>726099013i think the tencent deal fell trough, only the saudis can save the guillemot family, they are desperate to keep controll over assasins creed
>>726097917Something French
>>726097960antijapanese slop.incredibly pathetic and gross
>>726098563Ford.No won't say why
>>726099019Nah shoulda got Zelda + Rabbids, or Kirby + Rabbids.Maaaybe Splatoon + Rabbids.
>>726099119I really only liked the collab game with mario.

>>726097917main branch has been on strick for months, refusing to work and paid extra for being part of a union.
>>726099525Masterful recap.
>>726099465>>726099119Apparently Rabbids Go Home is considered to be the "good one"
>>726099305going all in baby!(conservatively)
>>726098563>>726098145>implying the Saudi's want to stick their fingers in this messSaudi's would love nothing more than to fire all 20.000 retards working at Ubishit and license out the IP's but they know most of those retards are protected by strict labor laws in Canada/France.theres no saving Ubisoft, the only thing anyone wants from them is the IP's wich they can pick up for penny's once the company goes belly upi do truly believe it is finally definitively over for Beyond Good and Evil 2
>>726099525Requiescat in pace
>>726099765>i do truly believe it is finally definitively over for Beyond Good and Evil 2That shit looked like a never ever from the start.
>>726099525What happened to Vantage Studios?
So... is the trade halt being lifted today?
>>726100326what would you even do with it?
>>726097917>fire all competent devs, hire jeets at 1/10th of the cost>enforce a toxic positive workplace where criticism is illegal>put w*men in charge>blame all your problems on Asmongold
>>726100387Nothing, I'm just curious if they'll keep trying to stall the inevitable or there was some 5d mastermind plan behind it that just needed a weekends worth of trade halt to succeed.
>>726100249I mean it's supposed to handle their AAA projects so it's probably going to be a couple years until we even get an announcement.
>>726100326I hope this situation stays in limbo forever lol.
>make DEI the core business of your company>fail spectacularlyMany such cases!
>>726100326We don't know. They can't skip the earnings call, only delay it. According to quora it's 35 days.
>>726100249The deal was SUPPOSED to be 1 billion or so for 25 percent of the company, but their current stock price is so bad that 1 billion could probably buy the entire goddam company. So imagine, they claim that they were scammed, and are pulling out, and then do a hostile takeover or something like that.
>>726097917Most of these companies, if they kept fucking up as bad as ubisoft, the CEO would be out, for certain. Look at the lengths that guillemot motherfucker is going to not lose power though. Even the spinoff has his brother at the top so they've still got control over that.Definitely never seen anything like this in the games industry before. Whatever's happening right now, it's assuredly related to this desperate little shit trying to hold on to his power.
>>726100794If you honestly believe that Ubi is going down the drain because they put niggers and trannies in their vidya then you are too stupid to be alive. Ubi was riding high during lockdown, every tech business was, but they somehow thought they could just remove key figures of their studios and survive. For some reason they thought others would just pick up the mantle and lead like nothing happened. The other issue was that the market was changing and instead of sticking with their formula and make good games they started rebooting and revamping projects halfway through to chase trends that were dead and forgotten by the time the game came out. So their studios were in free fall, their projects went nowhere and their games were stinkers.
They really need the remake of Assassin's Creed 4 to be a huge success. I am concerned for it because what could they honestly change with the remake that would make the game more enjoyable? Better graphics don't count.
>>726097917that's what you get for having a studio full of white male
>>726101134>the market was changingbecause nobody likes niggers, fags, and ugly women>chase trends that were dead and forgottenThe trends being niggers, fags, and ugly women>their projects went nowhere and their games were stinkersbecause they were full of niggers, fags, and ugly womenJust acknowledge it anon, it's not hard.
>>726101134Hold the fuck up. In 2020, WHY did they remove key figures of their studios? Because they had top people Metooed the fuck out. And then they added their diversity council and went on a hiring spree, and THOSE talentless hacks are the ones who decided to go with Killmonger with a rap music soundtrack for Prince of Persia, and Yasuke, and the entire bombfest of the past 2 years.
>>726101134>If you honestly believe that Ubi is going down the drain because they put niggers and trannies in their vidya then you are too stupid to be aliveTheir games went to shit before that, but going with DEI didn't help them at all and quite literally killed the studio
>>726099018ubisoft is as much french as Take-Two is american
>>726100249Also the current investors of ubisoft are attempting to legally block this from happening
>>726099525you forgot damage your PR by saying and doing stupid shit like>make game about pirates and then say forget everything you knew about pirates>uh you should get comfortable with not owning your games chud and more!
>be assassin's creed>give birth to like 20 games and a movie with fassbender>die like thisbravo ubisoft. I guess the IP is poisoned now but probably still worth the longtime investment. Whoever buys it can make a new series after a decade or two and make some moneyBut then there is also the subsidiary...
>>726101148Both the remake of Assassin's Creed 4 and Assassin's Creed 15 will supposedly be made and released by Vantage. What would you like to see in the games?
>>726097917Megapublishers are not a profitable idea and the only reason they still exist is because the rights to old shit owned by failing publishers get gobbled up by publishers that haven't failed yet.The IP ultimately just keeps failing towards less productive entities.
This is the price you pay for messing with Gamers and putting ugly brown people in their video games.
delete this thread
>>726102814
>>726102814Delete THIS*sharts in you're direction*
>>726102128I have zero confidence in 4 after black flag. And I have no clue what 15 is supposed to be conceptually. There is no way in hell I buy either one at launch.
>>726102814KWAB
>>726098396It wouldn't, but Ubisoft was in a tight rope that they needed every little win they could get to cushion the fall.Y*suke didn't help.
>>726102814Lol
>>726103161They have been in the making of a remake of Assassin's Creed Black Flag for years now. Just like >>726101148 said I also wonder what they could change to make the game better.>>726103161>15That's the next Assassin's Creed game that takes place in central Europe.
In a perfect world they'd be going private and going back to the tom clancy mines to make old R6, SC and GR games but I know in my heart such joys are no longer for this world.
>>726103349>>726098396The amount of the Vantage bailout was directly porpotional to AC shadows success. The fact that it failed SO fucking hard really hurt them. More importantly it blew investor confidence. They took the entire goddam company and focused it on this game and it was still a piece of shit that didn't sell well.
>>726103441I look at skull and bones and I think that ubisoft really can't make a black flag remake AT ALL. 15 is Hexe then. Witches in eastern eruope? I don't know eastern europe and witch assasins sounds stupid as fuck. The very concept sounds like that one feminist star wars witch thing.I don't even know what I would ask for from either one. Maybe the shit isn't for me at all. and that's fine.
>>726103604It will take place during the german inquisition, which was the most brutal of all inquisitions in levels of violence and murders. I hope they make the game's atmosphere and story bleak, very dark and realistic. I really hope they keep the whole Isu stuff at a minimum because I don't want to see anything remotely magical in that game.As for the Black Fag remake I just don't know how they could make the game more fun than the original.
>>726103934If it's realistic then they aren't using actual witches, right? I'm expecting the same sort of christfag bad, pagan good paulo ferere revolutionary slop we've seen from ubisoft time after time. Watchdogs 1200 ad. Except shitter because ubisoft can't program anymore.
>>726101458>Because they had top people Metooed the fuck out.What was ubi supposed to do tho? Hold on to guys that tanked the companys reputation just because they know how to make games that people like? Especially since ubi probably believed that somebody else would take up the mantle of lead just as well.
>>726097917Funded by the French govt to push "the message" instead of just making games. They also spent the last 17 years basically making endless bad business decision one after another and got away with it cuz of commie subsidies.
>>726099525>>people grow a bit more wary about spending 60$ on sloppaI wish it was only $60. Most new games run $99~110 now. Starfield is still $130.
I never want to see another Assassins Creed game again, it's tainted and it's been done to death.
>>726105394I love stabbing people thoughWhat are some good games for stabbing people? I've already played both Dishonoreds to death
>>726105394>it's been done to deathinsane that this is true in a series that can be set in any time period with any setting.
>>726099765>most of those retards are protected by strict labor laws in Canada/FranceNot true, apparently both countries have maybe a few thousand combined. so most of the employees are some form of jeet.
>>726105867point still stands that it would be in the Saudi's best interest to just let the company go up in flames and pick up the remains
>>726097917Can't believe yasuke killed ubisoft, it's so fucking funny. In 60 years when children learn about how the west had a stupid moral panic and started chopping of children's genitals they will also learn about the biggest European game Dev killing itself to put a black man in Japan
>pov: your Yves Guillemot having to explain to your shareholders why your fail proof Assassins Creed game didnt meet expectations, why Tencent pulled out of funding and why they shouldnt just mass short the companywhat do you say?
>>726105943What remains though? Ubisoft are radioactive to anyone with any business sense after the last 5 years.Ubisoft themselves have been bleeding money and goodwill out the wazoo and every ubi-based professional who's been brought in by other teams has only led to further disasters. The most recent/prominent one being the "closer" that Sony and Paradox brought in to help with Concord and VTMB2.No one wants anything from them, in any sector or field, that wasn't already poached years and years ago.
>>726106075Was he, dare I say, based?
>>726106156no
>>726106081I turn 360 degrees and jump out the 10th story window
>>726106109theres still potential in plenty of Ubisoft IP's if they were handled by someone not suffering from extreme brain damage>Driver, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persiacould all still be succesfull today with a modest budget, not every game needs a fucking 100 million dollar budget>Watchdogsremake the first game and actually include all of the shit promised at the E3 showcase, modders are already doing this>Assassins Creedget rid of all the fantasy shit, get rid of being a light RPG, go back to crusades and you have a instant hit, pretend every game since AC3 was just a Animus simulation
>>726106335As much as everyone hates ubisoft I don't think anyone wants temu versions of their games. We don't need a shitty UE engine hire this man assassin's creed game.
>>726106703It's what modern AAA gaming is already, except the extra budget goes on hooker and blow
>>726106075>In 60 years when children learn about how the west had a stupid moral panic and started chopping of children's genitals they will also learn about the biggest European game Dev killing itself to put a black man in Japanthey won't learn anythingwhite people are going extinctsociety and industry will globally collapse and only illiterate low IQ shitskins will be left living in the ruins that white people builtthey will eat each other because no one is left running the farms
>>726106867white people are the only ones preventing the blacks from being exterminated or turned into slaves. when whites are gone the trouble caused by 100% racially blacks will be too much for them and they will clearly see what's happening
>>726106867It's not just whites going away that troubles me, it's that no one will be able to pick up the pieces and build off the them like has happened with every great empire/peoples in the past.
>>726106081>Error: Our system thinks your post is spam. Please reformat and try again.
99% sure they got bought out by tencent
They will continue to make woke garbage slop even with their new buyers.
>>726099357Hear me out Rabbids + Rabbids
>>726097917They were... not making enough propaganda products. Instead, just making the same shit and even releasing problematic games like the division. A re-education plan was necessary.
>>726099525Ubisoft was dying long before the scamdemic nigger
>>726102814I'm surprised they can still pay for a mod teamUnless... surely they aren't doing it for free?
>>726099525Based historical summary.Honestly I have nothing against one IP studio as they can optimize their engine for it and improve upon it (eg. I love the Yakuza série) but they don't dump shit us every year with a slope sequel that never advance neither the gameplay nor the storyline in any significant way whatsoever like Ubisoft do. They slowly transform themself into a pure management corporation like many sadly do, forgetting about what make them successful in the first place. I call this a decade ago when it was not cool yet to be anti Ubisoft but this was inevitable.The only way they could avoid that was to strike gold again with their past glorious studio from Montpellier, which keep a bit of creative independence for a while, but they lost the touch too as the shit show that is BGE2 shows.It is what it is.
>>726109375creatively yes but the game sales did keep increasingthe huge sales push they recieved during the pandemic set the stage for the shitshow they find themsleves in todaymost of the industry thought that the pandemic gains would last forever
>>726109372It's corpo creativity, they either follow their uncreative conservative bias (X don't sell) or follow what they thought is in the current cultural Zeitgeist and what will make them on the "good side of history" (put a chick in it and make it lame an gay). Corpo creativity is not about creativity but the illusion of it, there is no moral challenges in it, no subjective vision, it's pure data driven rationalization of what should make them bucks.Capitalism is a crime against humanity.
>>726097917I grew playing prince of persia, the first game character i remember beating my dick furiously to was kaileena, i am super racist but ubisoft managed to make me beat my dick for the first time to a brown girl thanks to citra from fc3.But these jews dropped the ball, they tried to appeal to faggots, other jews and dyed hair dykes with septum piercings when your entire playerbase is of horny men, jews are desperate to go back to the golden age of gaming but they forgot their waysNow we got nigger of persia and negro samurai, sad times.
>>726111589>Capitalism is a crime against humanity.What economic system is more conducive to art?
Apparently according to insiders they're getting bought out by chinks. This time completely.
>>726111149Holy SHIT that's almost enough money to pay for almost half of the marketing budgets of those games!!111
>>726097917How comes Ghost of yoDEI is more successful than Assassin's Creed: Black Lives Matter even though they are the same crop of slop?
>>726097917>Xdefiant flopped>Skull and Bones gigaflopped>Star Wars Outlaws gigaflopped>Assassin Creed Shadows floppedKept alive by older game revenue which will eventually dry up.
>>726114246It atleast stars a Japanese protag and doesnt try pretending its actual history
Bump
>>726115127>>Assassin Creed Shadows floppedDo we have reliable data of that?
