I didn’t realize all of these franchises were considered dead. The comments in this thread make it sound like Vantage is a nursing home for these franchises.

Honestly those are Ubi's most creatively bankrupt franchises so I'm hoping that while Vantage focuses on these the main Ubi studio produces some actually interesting stuff

Stuff like what? The last good, original Ubisoft game I got was Mario x Rabbids 1, and then they gave it the usual Ubi treatment to make it a bloated, boring mess in Sparks of Hope.

They just can't help it. You can't have a game be "just fun". It has to be designed by a committee of 3,000 people, most of them marketing geniuses with a huge checklist of terrible features a game absolutely "needs".

I haven't followed Ubisoft closely but isn't the latest PoP very well reviewed? The new Anno looks very promising as well, the demo is out and people are excited

I would say rip but those IPs were dying.

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

Indeed RIP because they're not at peace yet. This should put them 6 feet under.

Ah yes the Assassins Creed series that has more sales in each release is certainly dying. I get you guys hate Ubisoft but that's just delusional at this point.

Hey Ubi, Tencent, whoever.

Splinter fucking Cell.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not entirely dead yet, there's an animated series that releases the 14th of this month.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Some people may like that but I care not for an animated series. I want a new game.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Creative house? It's more like a 'zombie house', bereft of any creativity.

[–] ghostlychonk@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Nah, fuck Ubisoft. I'll never buy one of their games again.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

haven't played or cared about these titles in years, and never will again. all dead trash
