I dont know why people are suprised that they are doubling down on AC IP and are making their studios basically AC sweatshops. AC is literally the only IP next to Far Cry in their portfolio that currently has any value as they killed off everything else. They literally lost 70%(!!!) of value as a company in last 4 years and are profitable solely because grants from Canadian,French and German governments its that bad. Reminder that Ubisoft has more employees than entire Xbox Division combined(ActiBlizz,Xbox Studios,Bethesda AND Hardware/software engineering and more). Only games that sold well in last couple of years are AC games aka Valhalla/Mirage and The Crew Motorfest everything else at best reoccupied development costs. Them doubling down on AC isnt anything suprising and screams of desperation. If remakes of Sands of Time and Splinter Cell wont be very high quality they will smoke value of their entire portfolio and it seems even they realized that late by taking away SoT Remake from Pune studio and giving it to Montreal branch to reboot development completly. Ironically enough insane doubling down on AC might also destroy this IP too because they will oversaturate market with those games. If that will happen Ubisoft wont have a single valuable IP in their portfolio lmfao. No one wants to acquire Ubisoft too because as I mentioned above they are massively bloated and no one wants to pick up company as massive as they are thats without mentioning how much they lost in value as a company and how much they rely on government grants. Guillemot is fucked.

[@Paradox-es3bl]

They're the least bad between them, EA, ActiBlizzard, and Epic imo. (Although if Epic never POACHED CROWD-FUNDED GAMES FOR EXCLUSIVITY) they'd probably be better than Ubisoft. But they did, so. Also, probably better than Microsoft, too. When did M$ have a good 1st party game last? Gears 3? Halo Reach? Eventually the MCC but like not until 3 years post-launch or something? And look how they massacred Halo but letting 343i and Paramount do whatever they want. Look how they shut down SUCCESSFUL studios. Honestly, Ubisoft is probably the best of the 5 biggest companies in gaming. Can even kinda bring in Capcom's greed and things like Metal Gear Survive with Konami and stuff. Look, I'm not saying Ubisoft isn't bad... but to me, they've never been outrageously offensive. When choosing between like 10 evils, they aren't just the lesser evil, they're the least evil... of the evils. But unless you're only going to buy indie... they're the one to be least ashamed of supporting, imo. Unless I've just missed some utter bs.

A big cost cut of the AC games is the lack of performance capture. You put any cutscene of Black Flag up against any in Mirage or Valhalla and the new games just don't hold up, they all look robotic and emotionless.

[@TheBloopers30]

Compare the writing in AC 1 - Revelations to the new games and you will go into total despair.

[@ODSTCodaith]

Bought Avatar, played for 7 hours, I was bored, the cutscenes for the dialogue were awkward at best and felt off. The cinematics were good tho, place is beautiful yet empty with repeat quests and farming of animals for materials which seems against the premise of Avatar. Gear is best crafted and is uncommon to earn and is rarely found 20 hours in and I've yet to loot more than one Bow. But things got better just not better than a 5/10. Hell Midfeild is about a 6/10 and more fun and the dialogue is better and has more action and immersion. Yup, That's Ubisoft

[@zedus4042]

Yeah the facial animations and generally the whole production and presentation of cutscenes in Valhalla and Mirage is ridiculously bad for today's standards. Like I don't even know how that's acceptable, the cutscenes look horrible even compared to their games that are literally more than a decade old which is crazy. Nowadays, they only sometimes do a proper motion captured and what not cutscenes mostly in the beginning of their games in order to sell you an illusion with first impression but that's pretty much it.

I don't know why people think Mirage is good. I get that it's a throwback to AC1 and a lot different from the RPG ones, that's not a bad thing. However it has technical problems that don't exist in Valhalla. The animations, the interactions with the terrain, the battles, it has issues in all those that we haven't seen in the series in years. Makes me wish it was a Valhalla DLC instead of a standalone game as that would mean at least smoother gameplay. On top of that you have a protagonist with a very interesting story. Does the game tell you this story? No, it tells about the character's life before the interesting story.

[@BlueBD]

A lot of those problems are because it was a Valhalla DLC rather then a Standalone. What do you think standalone means in this regard? It uses everything Valhalla does, the problem is The Valhalla system jsut doesn't Work with that style of game and what we got is the result of trying to force it.

[@grishan-b]

The problem with Ubisoft is that they are creatively bankrupt. Capcom isn't, which is why the RE remakes worked. One of the core issues AC has to face is that parokur peaked in the AC2 trilogy. In AC3 and Black Flag, parkour came down to holding the spacebar while pressing forward. It was so bad, even though I love Black Flag. In terms of gameplay, they haven't done anything really interesting with AC in a very long time, which brings in the question - if they want to do RE-style remakes of old AC's, what do they intend to bring to the table? The RE2 remake feels fresh compared to the original RE2 - huge leap in technology that allows for gameplay that's different to the core. I mean, you go from a fixed camera PS1 game that didn't use sticks, because there weren't any, to a 3rd person shooter, that lets you control the camera. Fairly big change. What can AC do, other than updating the graphics? AC2 Revelations already has better gameplay compared to any newer AC, including Black Flag - let's be fair, what makes Black Flag the best is the pirate fantasy, the story, the ships, the music, not the gameplay itself. Ubisoft has this isssue that their games are just... bland these days. The Division 2 is bland, AC is bland, Far Cry is bland. It really feels like it's time for something new, and when they do something new - Immortals Fenyx Rising for example, it doesn't sell... even when it's pretty great.

It’s almost as if applying the mentality of upscaling a project using the same methods like upscaling a factory or a data center does not work with video games. Video games is art, not a purely manufactured product

Thank gaben for the 'hide/ignore All Titles By this Publisher' setting on Steam store.

[@dannokk4743]

The AC Unity free running system was absolutely peak for the franchise. The amount of direct control the players has with focusing on running up, down or straight across was the single best part of the game

[@LedeannaCal]

I would love to see a Remake on 1 I hate the mouse control system on PC that is why I have never played it beyond the first mission since it was released.

[@scarlett8782]

Ubisoft isn't capable of remaking their older games because eventually they will start changing every character into a diverse gay woman (in 1798), and ensure that they pack the remakes full of mistakes & political commentary. I don't see a future for Ubisoft with their current talent and intelligence, and serious political motivation of their staff.

[@njgaming3322]

The only game that needs a remake is AC1. The rest of the games are perfect the way they are and should stay the way they are especially Black Flag. I just played it for the first time ever last month and I think it is an amazing and should stay the way it is

[@sparhawk1228]

They want to replace all the franchises with girl/black power.

[@gaborkeresztes1739]

Black Flag's water animation and ship battles and Unity's parkour(without the shitty console "moving the way i was programmed and not how you want to move" thinking that come to PC port) was the best that ever came out of AC in terms of immersion(i don't count the world building because that's the bottom line).

[@Fleepwn]

You know, what pisses me off is that people have been asking for AGES for remakes of some of the earlier games, but somehow, the moment they finally get announced, people are pissed again.

[@Reploid-dj9jc]

At this point they are quaddupeling down cause they are way past doubeling down .

[@dysphunc]

ANVIL powers GR Wildlands and Breakpoint too which is crazy.

[@chessoc7799]

Yeah but its still Ubisoft. They are still a bit iffy.

[@blake6248]

Ive stopped buying games from them unless it onsale for like 5-10$ cuz thats all their games are worth to me i have not been excited for a ubisoft game my entire life

[@Massnerder69]

There are so many AC games. A fun little game is to try and list them all by memory, then lookup how many there actually are.

[@terrythegnome2408]

a remaster is a facelift period. Resolution and framerate updates. At most texture resolution bumps. A remake is a RE MAKING the game. Its wild to me people still cant figure this out. The RE games are not remasters they are REMAKES.

[@LaylaSpellwind]

I hear "Ubisoft are doubling down on a practice they're not very good at" and my brain goes to DRM for some reason.

[@andreasplosky8516]

Ubi has never done a REMAKE of any AC game. I would love an actual remake of Black Flag, if they added something new and improved to it. But more than that, I would love to see Black Flag 2.

[@mikev8746]

Look, people who feel so original and hipster for bashing remakes/remasters.. The whole point of them often is to bridge the 4-5 year development gap of new original titles. So the remake often releases inbetween that 5 year gap. Which keeps the IP relevant without burning people out. It also helps with less proven studios getting succesfull projects off the ground. Another good use for remakes is attempting to revive a dormant IP like Dead Space, Silent Hill or Metal Gear. I know a whole lot of you neckbearded geniuses feel just as you type out these comments. But its not as simple as it sounds.

[@Dresdenstl]

The important question is when is Ubisoft giving us a remake of Babyz Party for the Wii?

[@chaoticmuffin1538]

Friendly reminder that ubisoft was founded by a guy who knew nothing about videogames or software but just wanted to buy studios to overcharge customers for their IPs. Literally, ubisoft was created to fleece customers from the start.

[@alvenchong1443]

Capcom while remaking their iconic resident evil series tried everything to make it better (except for RE3 remake). Ubisoft have no idea what they are doing. Don't even mention DEI intervention. Ubisoft is going down.

[@rebel4466]

Ubisoft only deals in releasing games with tons of useless padding and tower climbing. Pure garbage

[@ryanperrault8174]

I already played these games. A lot of the fun for the AC series is each game being in a new area. I have zero desire to replay the old ones. Ubisoft has terrible management.

[@julberndt]

weirdest thing is i always ignored Assassin's Creed franchise until last year when i decided to try Origins, and i loved that game, but i notice how boring it could be if i wanted to do all side quests and extra things, just like Far Cry where the game bores you and you start to want to play other games, so after i discover that by myself i rushed only in the main quests finished the game, loved the game. And in this summer sale i decided to give a shot and play the games in the launch order, bought a lot of them, and some others i already had from free stuff here and there. So right now i finished AC1, 2, Brotherhood and am in middle of Revelations, these games are pretty cool if you just do the main quests, i am spending like 13 to 15 hours by game, so for me it is fine, i won't climb every synchronization spot, grab 100 random item i don't care, i'm not a completionist i'll just rush to main quests, looks like i am playing a GTA but no cars, but parkour instead, and i'm not tired yet of these games, Ezio and Altair stories are real cool until now.

[@allendean9807]

If , and i say IF Ubisoft were smart, they’d take inspiration from all of the mods gamers have made, and integrate them. Much like they did with Mirage, and side ejects, go nuts. Yeah, make it prettier, but also include some of the great modded outfits, modded parkour, and modded gameplay. I don’t think this would cost them more money, and, if they were REALLY cool, they could give credit to those who worked hard for free to mod the PC versions and improve them in most instances. Imagine some kid, who mods his game, and Ubisoft Soft gives you a shoutout? So much fun

[@TheForever206]

The last Assassins game that i was genuinely interested in was Assassins Creed Syndicate and Ubisoft gave it away for free just as i was about to pay for it during a Steam sale😂. I do own Origins but that was through Twitch Prime and im just not interested in playing it.

[@hillehai]

There's a lot that I dislike about Origins, but there are also some great things about it. The world is amazing and such a joy to explore, and Bayek is a great main character. However, the RPG elements aren't that great, the grinding sucks, the combat is infuriating and Bayek's wife is awful and should not have been written the way she was or taken up as much time as she did. She was also a sign of what was to come in terms of Ubisoft injecting modern day politics into their games, unfortunately. I will say though, at a steep discount at like 80-90% off, the game is definitely worth it just to be able to explore Alexandria, the pyramids and so on.

[@TheBloopers30]

@@hillehai Bayek is interesting but I don't think he was that great because of the sloppy writing most of the game has and the world, while beautiful, doesn't really have much in it. Not a bad game though. The writing is the biggest issue in my view and took a giant leap of faith after Revelations, more so after Black Flag, and even more so after Syndicate.

[@AdriftForWeeks]

Having Ubisoft being involved with any game is a great way to recognize all the games to totally ignore

[@bphater31]

If they said "historically inspired" like in the old games, then this wouldn't be a huge problem. But they is "historically accurate" which it is not.

[@MorfsPrower]

Black Flag was the last time I held any positive regard for Ubisoft at all. The game was incredible. It just needed MORE. They could have beaten Sea of Thieves' dominance in a pirate genre with some continuations. But this is Ubisoft we're talking about.

[@dragonhunter6102]

Can Ubisoft for once in their life prioritize fan base and not MONEY? This company is so discussing its shocking!

[@random_tech_adept6117]

honestly i really dont want them to update the controls of the older games much i hate how the new games play the peak for me with the controls was brotherhood-blackflag

[@jefflukey123]

All they did for the AC3 remaster was; higher res textures and applied an orange shader that makes the sun too bright. hiding details to make it more detailed is a dum way of going about it.

[@philritter9042]

For me Ubisoft died with AC Black Flag and Far Cry 5 they were the last titles I really had fun with

[@drsteiner12]

Black flag was amazing - it’s the first game that gave me the true “open world” feel, where I’d just sail around in Jackdaw for hours. I don’t think I’ve seen games like that ever since, and Ubisoft definitely lost their touch.

[@MovieSnob667]

Old Resident Evil games are from a different era of videogames. The original RE2 has incredibly outdated controls and graphics. What's going to change in an Assassin's Creed remake other than the graphics? The controls haven't changed that much since the original Assassin's Creed. Why can't they make something new???

[@hanazeru]

what did yves mean in modernize? is this modernizing idea given by SBI?

[@spicyboi8535]

I've completely stopped expecting ubi to drop good games. Assume every game is gonna flop and you'll never be dissappointed.

[@kibayaiba3893]

I laugh so hard I almost swallow my tongue. They’re think Ubisoft gonna make the game like Capcom oh boy, they are far far beyond. Remember never support racist developer

[@skaboodlydoodle]

Okay, I'll say first off we actually could really USE remakes of the AC games. All of the "good ones" are pretty dang long in the tooth at this point and are pretty visually dated. Not to mention they're shackled to a lot of old-gen console port limitations like 60fps cap, limited aspect ratio, and game saves not being backed up by Ubisoft's client. I totally agree that those games NEED remakes, but at the same time I totally agree that Ubisoft is not very trustworthy for this task.

[@NaCl3P0]

“Surely it won’t shoot me this time!” - Ubisoft aiming gun at self in a game of Russian roulette with a glock.

[@patricks9401]

At this rate Ubisoft will be making more money touching there toes behind the local McDonalds, I mean with a team effort it could be close to what they will make off the new AC.
