Re: Swashbuckling Pirate Sim Skull & Bones Is 'Not a Narrative-Driven Game'

jFug

Ubisoft is rapidly falling apart:

  • Beyond Good & Evil 2, announced back in 2017, is MIA/in development hell
  • Prince of Persia remake has been pushed back to an unknown date
  • Skull & Bones looks to be a bare-bones (no pun intended lol) Sea of Thieves
  • The Avatar game has reportedly been pushed back to 2023 or 2024
  • They continue to shill crappy, half-arsed live service games that they don't even support after awhile (HyperScape, Roller Champions, etc.)
  • They've released so many shoddy, second-rate games in the past few years that rely on the same open world, 10,000-icons formula (Far Cry New Dawn, Watch Dogs Legion, Valhalla, Rainbow 6 Extraction, etc.)

I honestly have no hope for Ubisoft at this point. They used to be one of my favorite publishers (Rayman is one of my favorite franchises) but not anymore.

Re: Until Dawn, The Quarry Dev Acquired by Nordisk Games

@themightyant As much as I loved Until Dawn, I can't help but feel that because it was their first release in the interactive drama genre, people view it with rose-colored glasses.

I'll agree Man of Medan and Little Hope we're average at best, but House of Ashes and The Quarry were on par with UD. Maybe it's the genre people are growing tired of, and not the games themselves.

@GamingFan4Lyf Agreed.

I would say that RE4 was able to toe the line between action and horror successfully, so it makes it a lot easier for Capcom to lean into the horror more with the remake.

RE5 on the other hand went full action, so it would be more difficult for them to remake the game (and introduce more horror) without it feeling like a totally, 100% different game.

@GamingFan4Lyf It would be interesting to see if it would even be possible to remake 5 and 6.

If they did, they would have to totally change the tone and gameplay loop. I liked RE5, but it was just a third person shooter at best. RE6 was the only RE I hated and couldn't bring myself to finish.
