Real talk, no memery, do you think Ubisoft regrets Yasuke in Shadows?
woke businesses are incapable of remorse
>>726110979Well they "regret it" in the sense it will cost them their fucking company. But they dont regret it in the sense that they are woke retarded enough that they will think they are simply too ahead of their times for players to get it. So uh, no, and yes
>>726110979Did it make money? If it did they dont care.
>>726110979No. It probably made the game sell way more than it would've otherwise, but clearly not enough to save them
>>726110979there's a lot more things they must regret
>>726111132The game would've been through best selling Assassin's Creed without Yasuke. It was the most anticipated setting in the series.
>>726110979I won’t regret my NG4 and Rise of Robin purchase>>726107791
>>726110979no they genuinely blieve it was the right thing to do
>>726110979Im reality they have no idea where they are going wrong for years now
>>726111081>Well they "regret it" in the sense it will cost them their fucking company. Yeah that's what I meant. I saw some other anon in that other thread say that in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't a big flop, but Ubi was in such a bad position that even a mild success was gonna hurt them, and Yasuke's reception did actually contributed to that in some way.
>>726110979absolutely notthe chuds have been owned
>>726111114tpbp. money is all these sack of old shits care about.
>>726111114It didn't lol
>>726110979>do everything in your power to radicalize young men of fighting age cause you need a lot of angry men to fight your warsThese people can't feel anything remotely similar to remorse. Poisoning the well of progressivism and pacifism is a crime against humanity. I hope once everything that happened after 1991 is declassified every descendant of these moguls will be exiled to a small island in Arctic Ocean.Thank you for coming to my schizo hours ted talk.
>>726111114Yes it did make money
Ever single person who allowed this scene in particular to happen contributed to Ubisoft's downfall.
How do you fuck up assassin creed in Japan????
>>726110979Considering they cancelled the KKK ass creed game as a direct response to Yasuke, yeah I think they did.
>>726110979Didn't they delay the game to add the new female character at the very last moment after all the backlash?
>>726110979Fuck around, find out. Don't mess with Leaves Gang.
>>726115787Other way around, Yasuke was added later in development.
>>726115618>Take a dark skinned slave who we know almost nothing about>get both aggressive and passive aggressive with everyone who says they just want a Japanese male and call them a racist/bigot/nazi/chud/etc>try to rewrite history and say he was a Samurai>insult and fumble EVERY SINGLE nod to Japanese culture somehow>make a Hiroshima cameo>delay to black history month>delay to the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in Japanese history>send out preorders despite this that allows people to DL a beta version of the game>make Yasuke have an affair with a significant historical woman who is known for her loyalty>make him gay tooThe list of how badly this game went just goes on and on. I'm sure there's a ton of dramas I simply forgot.
>>726110979I think it depends. I think many would if they lost money.I also think certain diehards saw/see it as a form of activism, so by that rationale, they do not regret it.
>>726110979No, if anything, they'd be mad at the customer for being "too dumb" to buy it
>people ITT wouldve gladly bought the worthless ubislop if it had had no blacks in itGenuinely grim. You people need actual standards
>>726116074didn't nobunaga keep him around because he thought he looked funny? lmao
>>726116138ac is a guilty pleasure series
>>726116249You people have no right to complain about the current state of the industry if you can't even keep yourselves from buying fucking AC games
>>726116236He was a novelty. In reality he was only mentioned in like 4 documents and we know he was allowed a small sword/knife, a small stipend for food, a small hut to live in and he was denied honorable execution because he was considered subhuman and was instead banished from Japan.
>>726116319Did you play AC2?
>>726116236>>726116347He was also stripped naked and scrubbed when first encountered because Nobunaga thought he was covered in ink.
>>726116236More or less. Like all eccentric nobunaga liked oddities in his court that he could randomly call on for silly shit. But one singular, white-guilt lying faggot has tried to pretend that just because the man was on a duty roster once means he was actually the pinnacle of samurai, that all of Japan wanted his dick, and that because of this Japan was actually the leader of the trans-atlantic slave trade. Nobody simply called him on his bullshit
>>726115618By making the protagonist a nigger
>>726116347Considering the period, dude was up there desu. Certainly better off than average japanese rice farmer at the time, almost on par with skilled craftsman.
>>726111224yeah, people have been begging for asscreed in japan since the first asscreed>>726115618seriously. it was essentially already a motherfucking ninja game. just put it in the right setting
>>726110979the retards that make woke games like this are incapable of such things as self-reflection, and the ones that fund them only care about short-term profits.
>>726116138No, but the point is that it just shows where their priorities are. Instead of trying to make better games they are more concerned with stupid shit like this.
>>726116540Peak making shit up, there were dark shades of Asians/Japanese people
>>726110979I thought /v/ said it sold 2 million or something?
>>726111058>businesses are incapable of remorseftfy poltard
>>726117109it had 15 bazillion players, but never released the sales figures
>>726117004prease understandu, nigger-sama
>>726110979Who is this Mr. Ubisoft you're talking about?
>>726110979The people who actually made the game knew it was a stupid call but the ones with the actual decision power pushed it.The suits are going to fall upward while the devs will get booted. The people with anything to regret won't get the worst of it.
>>726117004Literally just look it up
>>726111058This. They got their message sent, that's all they care about.
>>726117004>give my new servant a bath and set of new clothes>this barbarian thought he was covered in ink haha Sometimes i wonder how much of history is just your typical court slander.
>>726110979They probably put the blame on EVERYONE ELSE but them and their choice.. including me and (You) who basically did nothing
>>726110979I hope not.
>>726110979Love this nigga like I love Bazz
>>726117867i don't get it
>>726110979I doubt itI didn't play or follow it but as it's an assassin's creed game I'm sure it sold very well, unfortunately
>>726111114Wrong. Corporations don't think in terms of, "Did it make money?" Corporations think in terms of, "Did it make enough money compared to what we believe could have been theoretically made in the same period with the same amount if it was invested directly into a mutual fund plus an additional arbitrary amount we feel is enough to be worth it?"
>>726117920That nigga's gay.
They regret not releasing The Last Nigga On Earth starring Tom Hanks
>>726110979I’m sure they think they’re a victim and that they did the right thing
>>726116236He was brought to Japan by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries. They presented him to Nobunaga who took a liking to him since he was literally the only black person in Japan. After that the historical record becomes fuzzy, he is mentioned as having been a sword bearer for a samurai and may have been given a house to live in but after Nobunaga was assassinated he is never mentioned anywhere ever again. He was probably sent off the island but nobody really knows.
>>726117636I wouldn't call it slander, just human tendency for hyperboleit just puts emphasis on the fact that black people were so unusual to the japanesenever let the truth get in the way of a good story etc.
>>726117867Why is the bbc the father? Why not the white guy?
>>726118494It's likely that the black guy isn't the father either.
>>726110979The higher ups probably The devs that shifted the time period solely to include him, probably not
>>726111058As far as they're concerned, everyone who didn't buy it is evil.
>>726110979Ubisoft is not sentient, the many aren't aware what they did was their own doing, and they think they had nothing to do with it aside from just following orders.The ones that's aware blames it on the many for their ability to execute their order, news of their idea being terrible won't get to them because they don't hear anything aside from the numbers.No one regrets anything at all
It was worth it to own the chuds.
>>726116138>people ITT wouldve gladly bought the [game] if it [catered to them]Crazy shit you're saying anon. Did you buy latest Fifa or NBA by any chance?
>>726110979No, idiots are so brainwashed they believe they did it for a greater good
why didn't they just say no?this entire woke era, why didn't the suits just to say no to obvious retarded ideas?they must have been bribed heavily
Go woke get BROKE
>>726111132>Assassins Creed: JapanThis should have been a slam dunk mega blockbuster hit, a 50 MPH fastball right down the middle, but they found a way to fuck it up. Not even an American company and they couldn't resist cramming a nigger down everyone's throats front and center.
>>726119110>they must have been bribed heavilyLarry Fink dollars
>>726110979their kind are stubborn, no they dont regret it
>>726119110>they must have been bribed heavilythey have
>>726118990>to own the chudsoh we sure got owned right kek
>>726117534>Refuses to post it
>>726111391Shadows was supposed to bail them out of their losses on Xdefiant, Skull and Bones and Star Wars Outlaws. It doesn't seem to have even broke even yet.
>>726116074yasuke having an american hiphop battle theme at first
>>726115518and they got paid, and will be shifted to some other position to continue their career. no regrets from them.
>>726117867> Juice?
>>726121348>>726110979Yeah. Put a fork in the thread OP Ubisoft probably doesn't regret anything. Let's just hope the fans do not forget
So what happened to Thomas Lockley?That guy and his book faded from memory.
>>726120925no game would be able to bail them out of their losses. Ubi have been taking losses for over a decade now
>>726122025working at a mcdonalds
>>726110979Yes
>>726110979I think they probably think the fallout was unfortunate, but they bet on it being successful. If it turned out popular they would’ve pushed the needle further in the next entry. I’m sure a gambler feels regretful about putting all their money on black, but that’s the choice they made.Ultimately, Assassins Creed is a tired franchise, long past its glory days with the Ezio games, and even those were only good, hardly great. Ubisoft has coasted along with multiple franchises changing nothing at the core yet pumping out the same game with a different coat of paint.It’s a shame that any company goes under, but stupid choices lead to stupid results. I don’t think it could’ve saved the company, but a new Rayman game after Legends may have earned them more favour with the gaming public.
>>726117652>why don't they look like ME?!Do women really?
>>726110979Ubisoft hates money. They could have made a game with a cute ninja but no...
>>726116138WHAT DO YOU MEAN "YOU PEOPLE"
>>726124825yes, most women are exactly like that, not joking.
>>726116587Said retard's career is in shambles and he has been removed from his teaching position.
>>726117867wtf?
>>726121487the juice did it!
>>726111132Without the DEI samurai and the mountain of controversies the game was mired in, I probably would have paid attention to the marketing and been open to try it. I played the viking asscreed and liked it despite its flaws.Shadows is a genuinely bad game for reasons totally unrelated to the zesty black guy, but the fact that they made Gay Niggers From Outer Space central to their marketing strategy was a huge giveaway that there was absolutely nothing worthwhile under the hood here. Avoiding all those red flags wouldn't have made Shadows a better game, but it would have made it easier to trick people into buying it and finding out it was shit for themselves.
>>726116074>say you want to play as a japanese male in a game set in sengoku japan>get called racistIt really is incomprehensible when you put it like that.
>>726117867juice?
*distant rap music starts playing*AYYO THIS NIP SHIT BE RAYSIS AS FUCK OH HELL NAH*chipms out in a shrine*
>>726116587My favourite part was the revelation that he published his works in both japanese and english, but made all the absurd black samurai claims in the english version and omitted them from the jp version.The man made his career living a two-faced life lying to both culture simultaneously. Literally the nadir of academic integrity.

>>726126601>English: A photocopy of a portrait called Oda Nobunaga, preserved by Sanpoji Temple in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. The exact author is unknown. The original is a memorial image drawn shortly after the death of Oda Nobunaga (1534-82). It was used for generational worship of the Oda clan. According to Shusaku Endo's collection of dialogues, "Just Nobunaga, but still Nobunaga" (たかが信長されど信長) (Bungeishunjusha 1992): "After Nobunaga's death, a detailed picture drawn by a missionary was copied after the Meiji era and shared by the Imperial Household Agency, the Oda clan, and the Sanpoji. It is said that this picture is most similar to Nobunaga in the Oda clan. Tendo is a clan directly affiliated with Nobunaga's second son, Nobukatsu, and this painting is carefully preserved in the Sanpoji temple, which is dedicated to the mortuary tablets of generations. "

>>726126808A detailed painting that is so perfectly photorealistic that it makes all the renaissance artists look like toddlers playing with crayons, oh, and the jesuit priest also has no other work that survives to this day. Wherever you are copying that is literal disinfo.
>>726119110>why didn't they just say no?They probably were thinking about doing that, so they probably paid an "independent" consulting firm millions of dollars to make a powerpoint that told them that the "modern audience" was an untapped gold mine worth potentially billions and billions of dollars.
>>726110979honestly, being forced to play some miniscule lesbian and then being expected to believe she could kill anyone is more offensive than George Samurai Floyd. I may have played it were it not for her inclusion. Oh well, Ubisoft is dead as a company for their actions.
>>726110979Do you think Emmet Till regretted whistling at that White woman?
>>726111132I skipped it because of woke, so your theory seems flawed.
>>726127108So even more fabrications around Oda, now what?
>>726115518That's one of the funniest expressions I've ever seen. Just straight up 'nigga you just picked the gay option'
>>726110979of course not, they're so stubborn that they literally went bankrupt over wokeness. the message is more important for these freaks

>>726121348>and they got paid, and will be shifted to some other position to continue their career. >no regrets from them.Yeah no. When Tencent completely assimilates UbiSoft then these people will be fired. No golden parachutes.>>726124392And a new PoP game. Would be fun if they returned to the Sands of Time era and expanded on certain things. Or made a new setting for PoP and added in things that were great in previous games (like Dark Prince being this time the embodiment of not only Prince's negative emotions, but also rage over his own powerlessness when people he cared about got hurt or died and he wasn't fast enough to save them).
>>726125398well fucking deserved
>>726116074>>try to rewrite history and say he was a SamuraiI mean, almost every game Yasuke is in he is depicted as a very strong samurai.Nioh 1 and 2, Devil's King and Samurai warriors.
>>726130697none of those tried to claim historical accuracy
>>726117652There's something interesting in this. This shit isn't going to sell soap and black samurai isn't going to sell games. These people are true believers who know they're burning money to propagandize.
>>726119110>Suits don't know what game sells because they are out of touch, old, and don't play video games>Don't know anything and confused, so they seek consultant firm as they always do with every business they invest-in>Consultant firm don't know shit about video game either, so pulls bullshit to pretend they are doing a good job, and that bullshit is bringing up diversity and inclusion>Suits believes the bullshit because they paid millions for this bullshitVideo games used to be fine because devs just used their self-interest as a gamer to figure out what worked or not, and they didn't have suits to get bossed aroundThe problem is that they were too human to not capitalise on having a common sense, and retire from dev to open a video game consultant firmEnding with randomass consultant firm that don't know shit about video games to dominate the video game consultant space with absolute bullshit
>>726111132asscreed: japan has been something the fans have been begging for for decades now, shoehorning in WE WUZ SAYMOOORAI AN SHIET torpedoed the game
>>726130697>games where literal demons exist, and where tadakatsu is a 12 foot tall cyborg I don't think Nioh or sengoku basara ever claimed to be historically accurate
>>726131569Fun fact, back in the day devs had to play their games a lot to test them. Many cited this as the worst part of the job, because an in-production game isn't fun to play and it's not easy to test or evaluate. But the experience was valuable, they got to see their work take shape and see what ideas were working, what became fun or interesting and what became tedious.At some point this stopped happening. As development became larger and more compartmentalized, production time became too valuable to spend time on testing. Different teams work on different slices of a project independently, with little to no intercommunication. These separate pieces are not individually playable, and no testing occurs until milestones late in production, where testable builds are assembled to show investors and make trailers. These builds are tested by 3rd party companies, who are accountable to the investors rather than the devs (so that shady companies can't use flawed testing to hide a failing project). The people actually making the game don't get a chance to play it, or see the bigger picture of their design until it's basically ready for launch and by then it's too late to do anything about "this isn't fun"
