Re: Ubisoft's CEO Shares Views On Partnership With Nintendo And State Of The Video Game Industry

@HobbitGamer Yeah, I have to admit Starlink does look pretty good, and I think that's how it should be done when dealing with Nintendo mascots, instead of some random collaboration. I never could get in to any of the Starfox games, but this is something that has piqued my interest. Regarding some of Ubisofts well known titles, certain ones like For Honor or Prince of Persia have a good amount of demand, although, For Honor was far in development before the Switch so I don't know about that. AC and WD2 probably wouldn't do well, especially WD since it didn't sell that good on other systems.

@HobbitGamer Riding on the coattails of Nintendo characters is not going to win me over... so no, I guess I'm not part of their target audience. If it does you, fine by me. Out of the lot of titles that Ubisoft have, only a few interest me; Prince of Persia, For Honor, and BGAE 2. If one of those make it to the Switch, I will definitely buy... I don't know why you would have a problem with that?

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's E3 2018 Went Big On Smash Bros. But Left Us Wanting More

Very underwhelming presentation to say the least. All we really got was a roided up Smash U. Fortnite and Hollow Knight has been out for quite some time now. E3 is for announcing games that haven't come out yet, not games that a mil+ people already own. Nintendo are the only ones at E3 that have done this. No info about MP4 or Bayo 3. It's not like my expectations were high, it's that Nintendo's showing was so low. Even Microsoft had a better E3, of all companies. Nintendo was on the 1 yard line, went to throw for a touchdown, but threw a pick six instead.

Re: Bethesda's Fallout Shelter Arrives On The Nintendo Switch Today

I hope this is just an appetizer until the actual Fallout arrives... if not, this would be very disappointing. This is the type of game suitable for that Anti-Matter guy.

@johnvboy It's not that Nintendo couldn't compete having more powerful hardware, it was the fact that they were 2 years late to the party after the the failed collaboration with Sony. By the time N64 released, Sony had already swallowed the market whole. It also didn't help that Nintendo was still using cartilages which made it difficult for 3rd party developers to make games for the N64. The GameCube had suffered the same fate being almost 2 years late to market without much 3rd party support. Many people thought of it as a Fisher-Price toy, which is basically what gave Nintendo the kiddy image that they have not been able to shake off even today.

Re: Ubisoft CEO Believes The Next Generation Of Consoles Will Be The Last

MongolRaider

Big companies like Ubistank and EA have been trying to push their agenda on the consumer, but the consumer's will decide in the end. Even if streaming ran flawlessly, which I doubt will ever happen, I still like to own my games. Microsoft is steering in that direction only because the market dictates it for them. Unlike Nintendo and Sony, they've been a stain in the industry.

Re: Exploring Ubisoft's Unreleased Wii U Game, Know Your Friends

MongolRaider

No, because this is all Ubisoft could think of as an exclusive to Nintendo gamers. It's really pathetic, if you stop to think about it. They offer Nintendo fans games like Monopoly, Just Dance, Rayman, while the other consoles get all of Ubisofts best games. It's sad how they treat a particular fan base as an afterthought, even though the Switch is selling like gangbusters. Not even a fan of most Ubi games, but it would be nice to get one, just one of their good titles, like BGAE2.
