It’s a grave they’ve been digging for years. And unlike EA, who is able to get away with it because of their golden football shaped goose, Ubisoft don’t have than kind of game to keep them afloat when making dumb/greedy decision.

Maybe the Best way to describe it might be “messunderstood”?

Here’s hoping it goes well… developers leaving to set up their own studio has a mixed track record…

The video game industry… listening to feedback?!

Is such a thing possible?

Strange, do they often give game of the year to games from a different year?

Is possible, but I won’t say it’s 100% legit till the actual thing is revealed. Sure seems likely though

Wonder if we’ll get any preorder bonuses here in Australia this time around? We usually do when there’s a steel book going…

I wonder what kind of issue could have cropped up to delay something only in specific regions?
I can’t see how a technical issue could be region specific these days…

Okay, now I’m starting to get itchy for news.

Up until now I had been perfectly happy waiting but all the recent activity is starting to get to me

Octobers gonna be a busy month for me

I have absolutely no idea

I think we can all agree, this is one that absolutely deserves to be taken down.

Right?

I played the demo, was pretty fun, but I thought there was a lack of… hmmm, I don’t know how to word it.
Like… some basic, relatively easy things were missing. Like, the opening boss fight had next to no sound effects. This giant robot arm thing writhing with no sound whatsoever.

Maybe they’ll fix that by the full release. I still had a decent time with the demo, but the lack of polish has downgraded it from a possible day one purchase to a “I’ll wait for a sale”.

Well, that word has been so overused that people just use it when they want something to either sound “really cool” or “garbage”.

Bad A** is like super cool. But looks/smells/plays like A** means it’s garbage.

Can anyone see why that might be confusing?

This industry really is struggling, isn’t it?

Boy, he says that a lot… we love to do this, we’d love to do that… and then show absolutely no evidence they actually want to do that

I’m looking forward to it, shaping up nicely!

But what if he wants to play them?

@shoeses and the fact that the Wii u was physically so different, making the switch backwards compatible with it would need a add on to make it work

“And fans aren’t happy” could be added to quite a lot of news headlines.

But in this case, it does seem appropriate.

Oooooooo… been a couple of years since I picked up a preorder steel book. If it’s at the retailer I usually get steel books from, I’ll pick it up

Hopefully this kingdom won’t get shut down after two weeks!

Makes sense, games like sparks of hope clearly aren’t the direction Ubisoft wants to go. Not generic enough

It’s incredible to see how this film franchise has come, considering that infamous start it had…

From that first trailer, all the way to this? That wasn’t in the script

So, the main criticism for this new entry in an old series is that it plays like the other entires in this series. Admittedly, fair enough, it sounds like some modernisation could be useful. But, at the same time, it is Famicom detective club, not switch detective club. You’d expect it to feel like it’s an upgraded NES title. To expect otherwise may be a bit optimistic.

Does what it says on the tin

Pity, crash 4 was very very good.

Good old executives, no wonder toys for bob went independent

Just don’t be rude. You’re unlikely to risk the judges wrath.

I don’t care if nobody has ever pulled you up for it before, just be… not rude. It’s free, you’re more likely to earn respect, at least from people who’s respect is worthwhile having anyway.

I would hope adults are animating this. I don’t condone child labour

Expensive, but there’s clearly a lot in it

@OctolingKing13 I dunno, I’m having an enjoyable time

I mean, I appreciate the warning. I know we’ve come to the point where swearing has become as substitute for literally anything.
But I try to avoid it, it’s not easy
(How can cool AF and boring AF be used? Either it’s boring or it’s not, right?)

Well, that’s good for long term preservation if true.

It’s always entertaining when a panned film shows up.

Before we get to the advertising you want to see, here, watch several ads you don’t want to see!

Pokémon legends ZA returns next month?!

Was this a slip of the typewriter?

Well, they could use more staff

I wonder how many people are left out there who don’t have Mario kart 8 (but want to purchase it)

Ah, I do love building a good Lego set, one of the simple pleasures of life.

Like a lot of simple pleasures, it can be quite expensive

Huh. Wonder what caused that?

Hmmm, some of these games haven’t had an update to their sales figures in years.

I wonder what they’ve sold now?

I admittedly feel a little self conscious counting my library… I suppose the system is going for 8 years and I’ve been there almost since launch, makes sense I’ve got a sizeable library

I hope it’s enough to make Nintendo happy.

(And you know, make more classic style paper Mario games)

Have the sales of the remake slowed to the point where this is allowed by the higher ups?

I think the developer newsletters on a regular basis is a great touch. Having updates on what’s currently being worked on, what progress has been made since last time, breaking down what needs to be done to be launched simultaneously on all systems in dual languages…

It makes the wait more bearable than announcing a project and then going radio silent for years. It lets us know they are working on it, and progress is being made.

I wish more developers would consider doing this!

Hmmmmmm… risky publishing mods for a game still being actively maintained by Nintendo

Well, this raises a few ethical concerns…

I mean, I’m not losing sleep waiting for the next system to come out, but if there’s something on it I want to play at launch, I’ll pick it up. If not, I’ll wait until there is.

Thieves! Bring the book down on them!

I wonder if the Ubisoft management style (or lack thereof) drove him away…

@RadioHedgeFund I mean, if people bought the non feature packed version anyway, why would EA bother?
