Stop putting out games every year. Take 3 to 5 years each game, stop the hype, stop the over exposure, go away so we can miss you, go away so you can innovate. Sick of cooperate greed in every aspect of life
That wouldn't even be the problem. The games need back the identity the franchise had, drop all the predatory mechanics, have a clear vision of where the franchise should go and stick to it and make the different studios actually cooperate with each other, instead of competing.
I imagine the first question by the "strategic advisors" was something like "so getting rid of all the overpaid management that made the decisions that got you into your current situation isn't an option?"
"We also recently appointed leading advisors and are actively exploring various strategic and capitalistic options to unlock the full value potential of our assets. We are convinced that there are several potential paths to generate value from Ubisoft's assets and franchises." is what I'd call the exact opposite I - as a potential customer and thus player of their games - want to hear. That's a coffin nail if I ever saw one. But who knows, maybe Ubisoft will thusly create gacha games for AC and other IPs, which will run for a year before they die off, fully embracing the money-grabbing-scheme of those types as, well, it seems to work for profit.
The shareholders desperately need to oust Yves Guillemot or sell the company already. Ubisoft is floundering, grasping at straws as they frantically search for any working strategy.
@@issamikbi3337this mindset made them the studio they are currently :) now I just hope they either sell the company or sell the assets, so you can play far supperior versions of their games if they are not behind it
If they need AC to be as big as possible, why go the Yasuke route? Why not go with a believable Japanese character? Going the Yasuke way has turned away a good portion of people that they can't afford to lose.
the issue I see with going a "believable" character is it would cause other issues; say you base the character on a real samurai, there would be an expectation associated that may limit them creatively. Yusake is more folklore so it allows them much more creativity without having people go 'samurais don't do that! this in inaccurate!" You are always going to piss some group off these days, you're just trying to piss off the group that affects you the least.
@@JacobBanman If they go based on a real person, yes that could cause other problems I suppose, but it would've been to a far lesser degree than using a 6'+ tall black guy in Japan. And they wouldn't even have to base it on an actual historical person. They could've just gone with a generic Japanese Samurai and saved themselves the headache and subsequent financial shortcoming. Plenty of people across multiple platforms have said they're avoiding ACS completely. Not just the big content creators that you see making videos about it. Each one that stays away puts Ubisoft closer to being out of the gaming business.
@@JacobBanman the true issue with the Yaskue issue is this. In no other AC have you, the player, controlled a real world person as the main character. You would only meet them as NPCs throughout your adventure. But you always play as a fictional character who would fit in to the time and place. Fictional being the key thing. There is very little actually documented about Yaskue, but the fact is he WAS a real person. We know that for sure. And we know there is no hard evidence of him being a samurai, let alone anyone of ANY importance in Japanese history. So for them to claim you play as a "legendary samurai", when there is no evidence of such, and then to double down on it, backed by made up research, is what pisses people off. If he was an NPC you meet and do stuff with, it wouldn't be an issue. It's the fact he's a playable character is the main problem
Ac ended when they killed Desmond. Sure some games kept the franchise alive (BF, origins) but once they killed him off and made the modern world an afterthought, it was over. The fact they brought Desmond back as “the reader” proves it.
I never liked the modern world stuff. Seemed like a corporate boardroom gimmick to get brain dead teens to buy a game about history by giving them a "relatable" protagonist. They just need to jettison the AC baggage and make pure historical epics.
Likewise. The modern day plotline was always the most annoying parts. If I wanted to play a modern cyberpunk game, I'd play one of the numerous such games that exist. The whole reason why I'd want to play AC is to play a historical fantasy adventure, preferably in an underused era.
If I were a shareholder my biggest worry would be that the people in place to move the company forward and get you money are having to pay external people to come in and figure out how to do so. I’d be asking ‘so why do we pay you to do a job you clearly can’t do?’
I won't be playing this AC game anyway, since they ruined cultural representation. Yeah, it's fiction, that doesn't matter. I was fine with fighting fictional Anubis in the only AC game set in Africa, as African protagonists. (Bayek & Aya). Origins is probably one of my favorite AC games, too. They did such a good job with representation, unlike Shadows. You can go on; Ancient Greece? Play as two Greek people. Syndicate? Play as Brits. AC in the USA? Play as a native American. AC set in Feudal Japan? Play as an African -__- Yeah no thanks. I'm grateful for Sekiro and GoT, and its sequel GoY. I've been wanting to see an AC in Japan in forever, but since they took this road, I don't even want to see it. Hopefully it fails hard.
@@Therachmandani Fair point, but I just think the premise is bad, and that makes me think it's not even worth trying. This is just my personal opinion though.
Ubisoft if the redo AC Shadows and remove Yasuke as a MC and make him a side character and add a Japanese Assassin character, they might gain the respect of gamers again.
Whats disgusting is the execs are meant to be the ones steering the ship. Instead they spend a shed load of money employing specialists and most likely at the end of the day its the lower end staff getting the boot and the execs and management staff stay on
The trouble with the lacklustre sales of ourlaws means AAA take less and less risks. Its a dangerous place for Ubisoft where they have been creatively stale since the 360
that whole Ubisoft statement is directed purely to the shareholders, it has nothing to do with their product or their costumor base. Because why would such a huge compagny care about their product and its users if all they have to do is generate percieved value through stocks for shareholders ?
Even for the people who work there from what i heard, if feels like there is zero discussion about AC:Shadows backlash, like if "nobody is allowed to talk about that"
Ubisoft should've made the original Splinter Cell games as a remaster already. Even the original Rainbow Six games would be decent at this point. Ubisoft has lost their vision.
Delays are fine _if_ it is to make the game actually good. The last few AC games had zero stealth aspects to them (huge turnoff) and were stupid 120+ hour slogs. I want a good/reasonable end to the AC story. Make the non-Animus portions enjoyable parts of the game too. Some of the best aspects of the AC universe were actually puzzle sections that weren't part of any quest line.
Also, the last few games have been _barren_ as in REALLY barren. Huge, vast open spaces with 5 people on the roads. Large cities with maybe 50 people living in them. The games are devoid of the crowded street life that made the early games legitimately interesting to just wander around in.
When they canceled the NG+ for Valhalla, i knew it was a problem. Why? Because it showed that they want people up buy their newer games as opposed to being stuck playing older games. Alot of people still played Odyssey as opposed to moving on to newer titles. They need their shareholders to see that they're making all of the money.
With how things have been going for Ubisoft, I don't see a path forward. Even if AC Shadows hits that magical $1 billion revenue, unless they have a title that makes 500 million profit every year, I don't how see how the company can survive as is.
when you realise this game is coded by the rainbow head wokies who is absolutely incompetent, they are only excel in sucking monthly paycheck using their insanity ideology.
Great analysis, I think Ubisoft needs to hit rock bottom before they truly change…the question is what does that look like for them? We may see it when AC Shadows comes out.
Ubisoft are pretty arrogant about there situation. They think they will get top $ for there I.P's but if the company's had any brain's they would let the company go bankrupt and buy the I.P's then.
It wasn't that long ago that Ubisoft were releasing games I thoroughly enjoyed. Far Cry 5, AC Origins and Odyssey, Both Division games and even Immortals Feynyx Rising all great stuff (I got so immersed in FC5 I love the atmosphere they created in the 3 regions). Valhalla and Far Cry 6 were huge steps down even so I was getting AC Shadows on day 1 as AC in Japan is a huge draw and I'd be playing Naoe all the time anyway. They had to change the release date to the same day as Atelier Yumia though which is looking like a banger so it's going to have to wait now.
Everyone knows it's not glitches and lack of content that's causing it to be delayed. It's because they went too far in with it messed up, and now they trying to turn it into SOMETHING. Making Yasuke a samurai was their fatal mistake.
Ubisoft needs to pull themselves together and remember what they are about. Good games that the fans/customers want. No investors or shareholders will ever be so important that Ubisoft can afford to ignore the fans/customers. For me personally, Shadows is lost, there is nothing they can do that would make me buy it. If they survive and Hexe does not become a platform for third-rate writers with a political agenda, I am willing to wait and give it another chance. If not, I will get some of their classics second hand or for the PC.
After valhalla i was done, it was a bad game but the fan boy's wouldn't admit it and the only reason it sold so well was because of lock down the people figured it's either peep into my neighbours garden or play AC.
It would have been a slam dunk with a Japanese male and female main characters. How can they mess up that simple formula? People enjoyed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla featuring natives of Egypt,, Greece, and Scaninavia.
Outlaws wasn't a bad game, people boycotted it cos its Ubisoft. They need to make changes, starting with releasing games that are great from day 1 again - its been far too long. However, so do the rest of the big companies, Ubi are just the figurehead of the problem
“Worse than you thought?” You mean “better than you think”! What is it with video titles on RUclips saying “Worse than you/we/I think/thought!”? Sick of seeing them. I can’t wait for AC Shadows to flop! I can’t get enough of AAA gaming up in smoke!😂
Ubisoft black washing asian history no thanks. Ill replay ghost and ya know that game was amazing and never once when i played it did i find myself saying "this game is really great but it sure could use some latinos"
I think the game will flop and it will lead Ubisoft to either be bought off or shut down. I also think that this is the best outcome. Companies have gotten used to swindling players with soulless cash grabs for far too long. Let another company with passion and creativity rose to the top
It is pronounced YouBeSoft. Because you have to be soft to like any of their games. That being said. You all pronouncing it EwwBeSoft. Is absolutely accurate. Because every game of theirs that We see. All We think is "Eww "
For those of you saying to remove the Yasuke story, please explain how that would change the outcome of this game. Ubisoft has already proven that their vision for games has skewed a lot over the last decade plus. Let's not forget that Rainbow Six Siege was supposed to be something else before it went that route. They turned the AC franchise into an openworld rpg, they made Splinter Cell a Bourne Identity game, and they turned ghost recon into a poor version of The Division. I think the black samurai story is the least of their problems.
Make good games it's that simple some of my favorite games the pop trilogy & splinter cell trilogy and far cry 2. Sitting on a gold mine of ip that ppl are begging for but can't figure out what to do with it.
I'm looking forward to several Ubisoft games. I'm grabbing Shadows on day one, I like the far cry formula so I'll pick that up whenever it eventually comes out. I'll be day one on division 3 once that if that ever gets made. If they make some other smaller things that look good like lost crown or even going back to child of light etc i'll grab em.
I never comment on videos, but go am this one as I am genuinely curious as to why it’s getting so much hate before it’s even released. Historical accuracy aside, they are obviously taking a lot more time on this game as compared to other entries in the franchise, and the game itself is looking much more polished than what I’ve expected. I do understand that it is Ubisoft we are talking about, but maybe I’m missing something that makes the hate valid?
The main reason so many are upset is that whole game just comes off as disrespectful to a lot of people. This isn't Tetris or Galaga, even if the gameplay is a ton of fun, the story matters. Japanese history/culture is sacred to not only the Japanese, but a lot of gaming/anime fans out there and it feels like Ubisoft in their effort to appeal to the Twitter mob have managed to offend the entire country of Japan with the misrepresentation of their history, with the cherry on top being they are now releasing this game on the 30th anniversary of one of the worst terrorist attacks in Japan's history. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" is in play here, and Ubisoft have been STUPID with this game.
It is kind of everything. Like you said, historical accuracy, games being delayed 2+ times is never a good sign, the game being successor to AC games, which, while commercial successful, dropped everything that made the franchise unique or interesting, they keep making bad choices over and over, making more and more predatory moves, no sense of direction, you have that AC Infinity nonsense. It is not just about the game, it is about everything Ubisoft represents.
The only challenge AC Shadows has to overcome is the whiny baby bois who are "going to boycott" the game because of a black samurai. They sound like the same whiny baby bois that wanted to boycott the harry potter game, and look how that turned out.
Stop putting out games every year. Take 3 to 5 years each game, stop the hype, stop the over exposure, go away so we can miss you, go away so you can innovate. Sick of cooperate greed in every aspect of life
This is not the problem since the last AC is from 2022. It is being made by a new team, at half of them never made a game before.
@@paulodelima5705 There was AC Mirage in 2023.
That wouldn't even be the problem. The games need back the identity the franchise had, drop all the predatory mechanics, have a clear vision of where the franchise should go and stick to it and make the different studios actually cooperate with each other, instead of competing.
They cant afford that with 20,000 employees on payroll
more like you dont own games well you dont own your company because we refuse to pay for your scams
Ubisoft should get comfortable with them not owning their own company

I love this company but you may be right, this could be their last BIG game. Many other gaming studios have called it quits or went bankrupt
As a die hard AC fan which game is your favorite?
Good. They're just treading water at this point. Stories need endings.
Imagine the suprise on the shareholders faces when they were sold to expect a profitable 2024 year with Skull & Bones, SW:Outlaws and AC: Shadows.😂
Expectations:📈🤑

even if they find something that works the ubisoft name is so stained now people will avoid the game just because of their involvement.

Now, search what happened in Japan, 30 years ago, in March, 20, 1999. Spoiler: Tokyo subway sarin attack

They turned the AC franchise into an openworld rpg, they made Splinter Cell a Bourne Identity game, and they turned ghost recon into a poor version of The Division. I think the black samurai story is the least of their problems.
Any time I see a game is being made by Ubisoft, I immediately don't trust it to be good.
As long as Ubisoft is making Assassin’s Creed going forward, they will suck. I was a fan up to Mirage. No more.
Make good games it's that simple some of my favorite games the pop trilogy & splinter cell trilogy and far cry 2. Sitting on a gold mine of ip that ppl are begging for but can't figure out what to do with it.
I'm looking forward to several Ubisoft games. I'm grabbing Shadows on day one, I like the far cry formula so I'll pick that up whenever it eventually comes out. I'll be day one on division 3 once that if that ever gets made. If they make some other smaller things that look good like lost crown or even going back to child of light etc i'll grab em.
I like far cry and assassin's creed
They need new ip. Stop making assassins greed. Stop with the farcrying. Make something new.
Boring and tired franchises, forced diversity, na thanks
And this is how the Gaming Crash starts.
JUST UHH UHHHHMMM OK. YEAH UH NO BUT yea.
I never comment on videos, but go am this one as I am genuinely curious as to why it’s getting so much hate before it’s even released. Historical accuracy aside, they are obviously taking a lot more time on this game as compared to other entries in the franchise, and the game itself is looking much more polished than what I’ve expected. I do understand that it is Ubisoft we are talking about, but maybe I’m missing something that makes the hate valid?
Because Japanese people can't handle the history of an African American samurai.
Uɓisoft destroyed its good will, and Shadows is the straw that broke the camel's back in that is basically the whole situation
@@iangoen6862 No samurai exists its historical fiction all evidence disagrees with it besides one writer
The main reason so many are upset is that whole game just comes off as disrespectful to a lot of people. This isn't Tetris or Galaga, even if the gameplay is a ton of fun, the story matters. Japanese history/culture is sacred to not only the Japanese, but a lot of gaming/anime fans out there and it feels like Ubisoft in their effort to appeal to the Twitter mob have managed to offend the entire country of Japan with the misrepresentation of their history, with the cherry on top being they are now releasing this game on the 30th anniversary of one of the worst terrorist attacks in Japan's history. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" is in play here, and Ubisoft have been STUPID with this game.
It is kind of everything. Like you said, historical accuracy, games being delayed 2+ times is never a good sign, the game being successor to AC games, which, while commercial successful, dropped everything that made the franchise unique or interesting, they keep making bad choices over and over, making more and more predatory moves, no sense of direction, you have that AC Infinity nonsense. It is not just about the game, it is about everything Ubisoft represents.
Can they please just stop with the corpa speaking and treat us as humans?
Im so sick of it....
You're not human. You're a gamer.
The only challenge AC Shadows has to overcome is the whiny baby bois who are "going to boycott" the game because of a black samurai. They sound like the same whiny baby bois that wanted to boycott the harry potter game, and look how that turned out.
Right, the only challenge Ubisoft has to overcome is lack of customers.
