Ubisoft has had a huge window of opportunity to clinch the military stealth genre with a reboot of the Splinter Cell franchise and they have failed to capitalize on that.
I'd love to see a new Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, and a Rainbow Six Vegas 3. Hell, make another HAWKS game. The only player in that market is Ace Combat, and it sold like hot cakes. That is a space that needs more competition and games in general.
Seriously. They could even have reused assets/mechanics from Siege. A new RB6 single player game with all that breaching and destruction would be awesome. They could even use it to turn some of the more iconic operators into actual characters. Get their own Captain Pryce or Reznov.
2:30 Exactly,.. sooo many games try to force you to make a new account just to play and I hate that. If you make it more accessible by just letting us play I'm sure it would make more players try it out.
I liked the game, but I felt there wasn't enough content. The only thing I really want from Ubisoft is an open-world FPS Ghost Recon game, or at least an FPS option.
I haven’t heard of X Defiant. But if Ubisoft is looking for a win, I think a new or Splinter Cell Remake would do well for them. - The Splinter Cell series was my favorite in the Tom Clancy games. I’m not interested in more live service games myself. There’s just not enough time in the day.
Anytime I hear a game being described as a cod killer I laugh out loud so hard , I remember all the vitriol around this game when it launched and none of those people touting it supported it
It's almost like these AAAA publishers/developers are too focused with making games for people that don't play videogames but will complain when a product, not meant for them, isn't made for them
Personally I did support, time *and* money. And at least for me I never said it was a CoD killer, as did many people, what we were saying is its good to have direct competition, not just with other FPS games that exist like Fortnite and Apex Legends, but with games that play similar to CoD. The issues of the game were more akin to things higher ups doing things like forcing an engine that wasn't suited for FPS games unlike UnrealEngine which is suited for it. You can't really build out a game with content when you are forced to have to make systems because the CEOs at Ubisoft demand you use an engine built for MMOs and not FPS games. Personally XDefiant was a game with a solid foundation in terms of gameplay, but many issues at launch and technical reasons did not make the game last for people to wanna invest in the game, and the stigma around Ubisoft, even with highly acclaimed games like the Prince of Persia remake and them shutting the people who made that game and the terrible initial marketing (It had freaking *rap* music in its trailer, like WHAT) and lack even just the lack of it for the PoP remake put people off from really trying too, yet Ubisoft dismantles the team behind it. Plus another thing that sucks is that they didn't even try to get to the next season to see how it works. So many things not even released or able to be finished for players to even try to wanna play and spend money. There are many leaks around a lot of content that was basically already done and built up, but because Ubisoft got impatient they pulled the plug too early. They weren't given any real time to, as the kids say "Let em cook" (Cringe as that maybe I guess) It took Rainbow 6 Siege a few years to get where it is now if I recall correctly, at least a solid year. XDefiant only really got half of that. Not really fair criticisms tbh.
@@CmoIsDaNam3i I had never touched COD because I thought it was just for Shooter bros. That being said, I started playing Xdefiant and I liked it tbh, then I jumped unto COD MW2 as my firts COD approach because it was on Game Pass... I immediately noticed why COD is held in such high regard outside of the community hating on it for whatever reason. Going back to Xdefiant I immediately noticed that net code was not right, and movement and animation are way better in COD. I like both games to be honest, I didn't think Xdefiant was doing so bad, I never struggle to jump into a match.
Why? They have maybe 2 active franchises of any value and their gameplay loop is so widespread and generic only sony can get away with still using it. You'd be spending 2 billion dollars to buy a bunch of brand names that have long since worn out their welcome. And rayman. That's like a 3rd of the price of Square for a percentage of the value.
If you Ubisoft released games like they use to then they wouldn’t be having this problem. It’s been over a decade since they released a splinter cell, rayman rabbits etc….
CoD needs real competition that's the reason Activision can manipulate their player base so easily. Hopefully Battlefield gets it's act together next year.
But BF is not even close to a competitor to CoD. I mean, yeah, they are both arcade shooter, but one is an arena shooter and the other is combined arms
Some youtubers are saying sony is trying to buy ubisoft and take 2? Take 2 may be out of reach for sony buy ubisoft is going down hill so they should be selling soon lol
Ubisoft needs to make better games with less ressources. Currently they have 20K employees, which is almost twice as many as Electronic Arts has (around 13K). But the stock price of an EA share is ten times that of a Ubisoft share.
Ubisoft has been making the same game with different shells, skins and graphics for years. Then they started going into micro transaction hell. Now, live service shooters. I’m not surprised on how the upper mgmt have hung their company out to dry with these decisions
I think I have some old games that I bought years ago from Ubisoft, it’s sad that this company that had it all back in the 2000s is now losing it’s developers!😢
Mark Rubin said they didn't start marketing and promoting the game yet, and they discussed year 2 in the last meeting. Ubisoft doesn't know how to budget or what to support. The overhead needs replacements.
10:54 why hasn't Phil Spencer done that? 13:30 there is no single player game that is going to turn this around for Ubisoft. Especially not a splinter cell game you have to separate what you want out of Ubisoft from what they clearly need to sustain themselves which is a live service win. 17:00 no Batman game has ever made close to what Hogwarts Legacy made that's an IP thing single player games don't have the margins to turn a company around.
There was a complaint years ago that large studios/publishers don't want to take chances and keep releasing the same thing over and over again. Then, some studios/publishers thought "how can we have the worst of both worlds. We'll jump on the bandwagon but make it bad." Other studios/publishers thought "let's retread what has worked for us in the past, but insert stupidity into it to make it crappy."
I wish the larger YT channels would focus more on AA studios and Indie. We all know what these legacy studios are about these days, there's zero reason to ever be hyped. It's always a bait and switch. Let them wallow in obscurity until they release a game that's worth playing and discussing.
Shareholders need to demand changes in management. Management is the problem. Yves needs to go. He is the one who thought the future of Ubi was NFTs. AC Shadows will not save Ubi. At this point, they need a smash hit after failure after failure. Ubi dug it's own grave by not understanding what the market will pay for. They are doubling down on Shadows even though the market is already saying no. This is how you kill your business.
One problem is, and it's been touched on in the past. (MANAGEMENT) and their overwhelming need to push developers to reinvent the wheel. At this point a company like Ubisoft has the history and experience to be successful.They know what works, "chasing that dragon" is absolutely the problem. Just about every hyper successful game in history has one thing in common, they didn't start out hyper successful, it happened in an organic way, OVER TIME. Fortnight, COD, Minecraft, ASSASSIN'S CREED, all of these IPs didn't start out as billion dollar IPs it took time and hard work from developers, that's a fact that seems to be lost to the management of all these companies. They seem to expect a game to just hit hard day one, and if it doesn't, well sorry we're shutting down servers and handing out refunds. How about you put some of the new stuff, the wheel reinventing stuff on the back burner. Take your team and fix the game. This can be done, Cyberpunk, Fallout 76, are just a couple of recent examples. Take some eggs out of the basket, and start holding management accountable.
C level execs will never NOT take their bonuses because most of their bonuses are guaranteed regardless of how the company did. unlike other countries C level employees, it’s not dependent on profitability.
Nintendo did because they had to cut bonuses, it is expected in Japanese businesses, it’s not special they just failed with wiiu and their employees are protected from being laid off, the alternative is they sit their employees in a room with nothing to do and wait for them to quit, like square tried to do recently.
It’s been well over a decade since I cared. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is a masterpiece of gaming and Ubisofts last great game. None of the AC stand up. So two decades.
If Ubisoft treated their Tom Clancy IP with the reverence and respect that the games earned over a decade ago rather than chasing trends and throwing poop at the wall to see what sticks, players would show up. There is no more good will, we are tired of Ubisoft phoning it in.
Black ops 6s success and the fact its on gamepass gave xdefient no hope of succeeding, they dont mention it directly but i wouldn't be surprised . If they just fixed the netcode and did better cosmetics and added cool events i think xdefiant would be fine. I played xdefiant an hour ago and it feels alot tighter to play, netcode is slightly improved. If xdefient had a resurgence of players again ubisoft may reconsider shutting down the game but i guess time is running out sadly. Cod will never be beaten at least for now but competition is nice to have
That's the crazy part they brought the right to own the nemesis system One of the most advanced systems that I ever saw and they don't even use it what was the point of just buying the rights other game companies could have used that system but yet they wanted the rights and they don't even use it in the first place
It's sad that Ocidental game devs seem lost on delivering what players want, while western european and asian devs are delivering what people really. Wukong, Elden ring, Stalker 2. Games where devs focused on making it great Meanwhile at obsidian we have devs focused on making games to "annoy Elon Musk"
Going against cod is like PES going against FIFA, seems like it’s impossible. You have to go after it when it’s at its lowest and bring out something incredible
I did not even know they had a studio in Osaka. So how did they mess up the image of "Japan" in the upcoming Assassin's Creed game when they had genuine Japanese people, living in Japan working for them. Regardless of if studio Osaka was not on the project, you ask them, send them out to gather information and relay it back to the developing studios. No, they go and hire a westernized Japanese expat living in Canada to teach them about Japanese history. What kind of opposite day is that? You had people on your paylist from the source of a place you are creating... Ubisoft is mismanaged from head to toe.
What history are you talking about? Yasuke? I hope that’s not what you’re referring to as if that’s what ruined the potential of the game and not the dogshit copy paste gameplay we’ve gotten for the last decade. Yasuke is a badass, if anything having a female ninja was more lame.
@@heat9238 No, the history of Japan. I don't care about the token character for North American audiences, I'm talking about torii gates placed in places where they don't belong, architecture that never existed in Japan, utensils, wagons, pots that are of Chinese origin and never existed in Japan. The way farming is portrayed and all that comes with it. The way hierarchy of the castes is portrayed, the way economy and taxation are portrayed. There are 1001 things wrong with Japan in the AC:Shadows game.Yasuke is the least of the problem. Floora and Fauna of the country that did not exist and was imported hundreds of years later from the period they are portraying, etc. Such things. The whole game looks like Japan mixed with China. Not Japan.
I love when I try to launch Far Cry 3 but it crashes immediately because Ubisoft never bothered to patch their most popular game to run on Windows 11... good job! But yeah if they go down it will be their own fault for ruining good franchises with anti-consumer practices. Such a shame.
sbmm works and is an overall good. Everyone plays like shit once in awhile and it’s nice to have the game recognize that and alter the matchmaking so you can perform better.
"Call of Duty Killer" bro cmon man. Stop paying Creators to vomit good things about your game and let the game speak for itself for years this team fed us with regurgitation
i think ubisoft is definitely gonna turn into a remake studio. I think they need to look at what Capcom is doing where they have titles that are recognizable and easy to sell through the trust that it would be good from its past success. And for their live service endeavors ehhh, well rainbow six siege is their only successful one that's been running for many years
Ubisoft has been going down for a long time. And this has been a great year. When they started assassins creed it was new and refreshing. Then they kept making the same game in a different time. And far cry, what’s that like? It’s assassins creed on an island. Star Wars outlaws? Oh wow, all about stealth kinda like, assassins creed? How about overcharging and underdelivering on every game. 130$ editions of games? Single player with microtransactions? How about telling players that their opinions are wrong and making games for the wrong reasons? Not the ceo who said the whole not owning games thing. Regardless if it was taken out of context that’s what the media talked about and what most people were told. That’s on top of using their own launcher or exclusively using epic store instead of steam. In between all the social issues and bs, they release single player games that no one asked for WITH microtransactions? Hopefully they keep going down and the entire industry watches to see an example of WHAT NOT TO DO.
The only reason most people still play Call of Duty games is because of nostalgia. You can't compete with that. Even though I was more into Battlefield games, I can understand way people buy games with of the same franchise as their favorite game 20, 30 years ago. However I think Ubisoft made the same mistake as Blizzard and many others did. They went too hard into the paint on one product and forgot to evolve and innovate. All good things comes to an end eventually.
I want single player Rainbow 6. I want Splinter Cell. I want The Prince of Persia and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.I want Brothers in Arms 3. I do not want more live service bullsh*t.
UbiSoft has been in the "SHYTTER" for a very long time and all their games been nothing less than "Rinsed and Repeat".👎🏼 #They're experiencing that "Beyond The Good And Evil" catch ma drift?😉
XDefiant... not interested. But the free to play 'The Division: Heartland' would have been so much better but they cancelled that! Ubisoft? What idiots are making these decisions?
Ubisoft will be fine if they realign their profit expectation to be much lower than an infinite growth curve, or the money made in the past 5 years. Not good news for all those leach investors, but they don't play games either way. Perhaps then we will have actual completed games that don't require to be treated like a second job.

@@DestinL I think studios are doing two things very wrong this will be a long comment so I apologise -1 chasing cod/fortnite the money and variety and years of development - maps modes etc is almost impossible to clone the success of now , 2. Big investment company’s like black rock and vanguard are pushing a weird narrative with dei even to list on the Nasdaq now there’s all these weird dei rules and that in turn is forcing company’s like Disney, and like these studios ea Ubisoft etc to stop making games they want to make and people will like and follow this check box insert token whatever you want in here, test group checked bs and people rnt buying them or supporting them because it feels forced or weird, studios need to get back to the art form of making fun games people want to play and reduce budgets and push out more games versus this 300m budget 7 year dei infested messes they are trying to push out nowa days to appease investors they need to appease gamers because it’s just flop after flop after flop , and ill add this last part it’s clear big budget games are extremely risky I think if they plan to do something over 50m they really need to involve the community and drive up support for a game that way games can have alphas and betas like on pc and they can judge the interest from an earlier stage and cut their losses quicker failing that ‘cause Sony wont allow this approach btw’ they need to go into smaller games and launch in sub services to ensure they get a guaranteed amount back that’s how I feel about it
Tom Clancy's legacy deserves better than what Ubisoft is doing to it as of late.
Those games were a good time. When they gave up on Division 2 after Warlords everything went into the toilet.
Wasn't the Tom Clancy branding removed from XDefiant?
@thaneros They removed his name because of the controversies surrounding his death. Which is something that won't be talked about mainstream wise.
I would say Assassin's Creed, Star Wars and The Crew should all be treated way better.
@@retromeister3709 Hmm... ok now I have to do some digging.
Their advertising sucks, I didn't even know this game was released lol
Released in April
Sunsetting is standard corpo lingo. Not a Destiny thing.
Ubisoft has had a huge window of opportunity to clinch the military stealth genre with a reboot of the Splinter Cell franchise and they have failed to capitalize on that.
I'd love to see a new Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, and a Rainbow Six Vegas 3. Hell, make another HAWKS game. The only player in that market is Ace Combat, and it sold like hot cakes. That is a space that needs more competition and games in general.
Ubisoft need to remove the requirement to connect to the internet to install their games. This is such an anti-consumer practice.
I need to connect to the internet to set up my PS5?
There's barely anything you can do without internet especially video game wise. Just the world we live in
@@sh9019 Defeatist.
Give us a new (Offline) Rainbow Six with a story.... God, Ubisoft was soo good back in the day..
Seriously. They could even have reused assets/mechanics from Siege. A new RB6 single player game with all that breaching and destruction would be awesome. They could even use it to turn some of the more iconic operators into actual characters. Get their own Captain Pryce or Reznov.

I think they need to look at what Capcom is doing where they have titles that are recognizable and easy to sell through the trust that it would be good from its past success. And for their live service endeavors ehhh, well rainbow six siege is their only successful one that's been running for many years
Don’t worry. I’m sure they’re just about to announce a new quintuple “A” franchise.
Concord have some competition
Upsoft needed to lay off thousands for years
I was kind of interested in the game, but having to create a new account and remember the info was enough of a roadblock for me.
Ubisoft realised that western developers aren't great at making games in top of crazy salaries?
WokeSoft died years ago, let em rot
Sooo does the refund go to my xbox account or the card i used? Just wanna know where to look dont care abiut the game anymore
Ubisoft has been going down for a long time. And this has been a great year. When they started assassins creed it was new and refreshing. Then they kept making the same game in a different time. And far cry, what’s that like? It’s assassins creed on an island. Star Wars outlaws? Oh wow, all about stealth kinda like, assassins creed?
How about overcharging and underdelivering on every game. 130$ editions of games? Single player with microtransactions?
How about telling players that their opinions are wrong and making games for the wrong reasons?
Not the ceo who said the whole not owning games thing. Regardless if it was taken out of context that’s what the media talked about and what most people were told.
That’s on top of using their own launcher or exclusively using epic store instead of steam. In between all the social issues and bs, they release single player games that no one asked for WITH microtransactions? Hopefully they keep going down and the entire industry watches to see an example of WHAT NOT TO DO.
The only reason most people still play Call of Duty games is because of nostalgia. You can't compete with that. Even though I was more into Battlefield games, I can understand way people buy games with of the same franchise as their favorite game 20, 30 years ago.
However I think Ubisoft made the same mistake as Blizzard and many others did. They went too hard into the paint on one product and forgot to evolve and innovate. All good things comes to an end eventually.
They should have put it on Game Pass
This is only going to keep getting worse as game devs keep making games for the mythical "modern" audience.
I want single player Rainbow 6. I want Splinter Cell. I want The Prince of Persia and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.I want Brothers in Arms 3. I do not want more live service bullsh*t.
Is it really a franchise if it has 1 installment? People said the same thing about Rebel Moon.
I actually liked playing this game
Get ready for more layoffs from Ubisoft in 2025
I just hope that assassins creed shadow will release in February!! give that game more attention people want that game bad!!
They really don't , I've never seen less excitement for an assassin's creed game
He got a crazy look
They beyond cooked bruh
UbiSoft has been in the "SHYTTER" for a very long time and all their games been nothing less than "Rinsed and Repeat".👎🏼
#They're experiencing that "Beyond The Good And Evil" catch ma drift?😉
XDefiant... not interested.
But the free to play 'The Division: Heartland' would have been so much better but they cancelled that!
Ubisoft? What idiots are making these decisions?
Skull & Bones rn 👀
Delta Force coming out December 5th
Ubisoft will be fine if they realign their profit expectation to be much lower than an infinite growth curve, or the money made in the past 5 years. Not good news for all those leach investors, but they don't play games either way. Perhaps then we will have actual completed games that don't require to be treated like a second job.
AND They won't bring Splinter Cell?????
Alexa Play “Watch The Party Die” by Kendrick Lamar!
waiting for "its called xdefiant so this must be xboxs fault"
If it doesn't make Fortnite money then it isn't successful
Dropped my like 👍 Destin 😊
Another one bites the dust
Every California company is becoming a joke.
XDefiant was good but had no staying power. Shutting down made me uninstall it. Stick to rainbow 6 a Ghost recon.
Do you think Ubisoft can come back from this? Let me know and please consider subscribing! ruclips.net/user/thedestinchannel

@@DestinL I think studios are doing two things very wrong this will be a long comment so I apologise -1 chasing cod/fortnite the money and variety and years of development - maps modes etc is almost impossible to clone the success of now , 2. Big investment company’s like black rock and vanguard are pushing a weird narrative with dei even to list on the Nasdaq now there’s all these weird dei rules and that in turn is forcing company’s like Disney, and like these studios ea Ubisoft etc to stop making games they want to make and people will like and follow this check box insert token whatever you want in here, test group checked bs and people rnt buying them or supporting them because it feels forced or weird, studios need to get back to the art form of making fun games people want to play and reduce budgets and push out more games versus this 300m budget 7 year dei infested messes they are trying to push out nowa days to appease investors they need to appease gamers because it’s just flop after flop after flop , and ill add this last part it’s clear big budget games are extremely risky I think if they plan to do something over 50m they really need to involve the community and drive up support for a game that way games can have alphas and betas like on pc and they can judge the interest from an earlier stage and cut their losses quicker failing that ‘cause Sony wont allow this approach btw’ they need to go into smaller games and launch in sub services to ensure they get a guaranteed amount back that’s how I feel about it
XDefiant. What's that?
