Do they not talk to eachother or what? It's like they are all in the same company, but are completley different from each other. You got some guys hidden away pumping out 3 splinter cells a year, then you got Jade Raymond upstairs working on Assassin's Creed, you got some guys bashing the PS3, and at the same time other guys contradicting all of their statements.

When I see the Ubisoft logo when starting my games, I don't even know what to think any more.

who are you people!?

Heh, Ubisoft definately doesn't top the charts of best devs out there. Lazy/crappy ports (I'm looking at you RE4 PC and half the Wii's launch line-up) hurts their reputation a lot.

lol, it depends on what console you have. Ubi pumps out amazing games for the 360. Looking at it's track record (from all gens) , it's one of the best developers out there.

What, are you a PS3 fanboy or something or are you unaware that Ubi has already churned out some of the best games this generation?

I haven't enjoyed a Splinter Cell since Chaos Theory--and Conviction looks very mediocre, in my opinion.

it's nothing personal, it's just theres been a sudden outbreak of the use of that word ever since all the SW members watched this:

it's like everyone thinks they are smart now cuz they learned the word "mundane".

Far Cry was developed by Crytek and published by Ubisoft. But apparently Ubisoft was given the rights to the game and is thus making a sequel. All the while Crytek has moved on with Electronic Arts (EA) and are trying to get Crysis out the door.

Ubisoft doesnt suck, infact they've made some of the best franchises in recent time.Rainbow Six,Ghost Recon,Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia and Beyond Good and Evil,Far Cry anyone?

The games they put out for 360 are very good, the PS3 has gotten some bad ports from Ubisoft recently but that will change and the wii gets nothing good from Ubisoft.

GRAW 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas for the 360 is the only good games they released (oh and the PS3 version, but when compared RSV is just made by lazy a$$ Ubisoft devs) in the past 2 years.. I still can't believe it took RSV to cost 20 bucks to get most/all the bugs outta the game and it took them almost a year to release the friggin map pack lol. Pure cr@p indeed.

Well thank god for companies like Epic and 2k games for actually caring about their audienc on all platforms.

There is Ubisoft Shangahi, Montreal and I think Paris, and a HQ over in the Bay Area. (and maybe more, assuming France must have one at least)

So yes, they are split up among many studios.

good if you like the same old games with different names. r6v and graw are bascly the same one in a nice city and one out in the desert and graw2 is just like the first one. then there is sc which is one of the most milked series out there. sc1-sc3 were all awesome and brought new thinks but then last year they though they would take all the cool gagets out of the game and not bring anthing much new to the series except being on both sides.

Double Agent was alright. It wasn't the best though.

If only they got Michel Ancel making more games. They should give all those American Military games a rest, and start creating unique games again.

We need a new proper Rayman for this generation, and a Beyond Good & Evil sequel, or another new project of it's kind.

Trying to tell Ubisoft to give all those Military games a rest would be like trying to tell Square Enix to stop it with all the remakes, spinoff's and ports of DQ and FF games. Its not going to happen:(

Ubisoft is comprised of several separate studios. Splinter Cell is actually split between Ubisoft Montreal and another studio (often Shanghai) so that each game gets two years of development, yet comes out yearly. The games developed by Ubisoft Montreal do much better critically. Ubisoft is also a publisher, meaning they don't necessarily develop everything that they logo shows up on.

Yeah...the reason why they stopped being a low-profile studio, is pretty much thanks to the Tom Clancy games, but still...the first two Rayman games were AAA games, and I'm still trying to erase Rayman 3 from my memory, but I'd really want another high quality Rayman game for this gen, not that Rabbits crap, and another Michel Ancel project would be nice.

Games are really hard to come buy and are most likely expensive for it at this point and time. I'm gonna check it out and if it works I'm gonna buy it. Its only $20 after all. If I can locate games for it then so be it. But for $20 its a great bargin.

I'm about to pick up some fighting games real quick for the DC which include.

  • Fatal Fury Mark of Wolves
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3
  • Last Blade 2
  • KOF Dream Match

I already have picked up

  • Tech Romancer
  • Marvel vs Capcom
  • Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure
  • Powerstone 2
  • Soul Calibur

Fighting games are night unplayable with the standard Dreamcast controller, you should invest in an Arcade stick, or if you know Arcade-makers around you, having them make you one out of your Dreamcast controller.

Last Blade 2 port really sucked, and KOF Dream Match looks worse than the original, but something is better than nothing I guess, Last Blade 2 is amazing noneheless.

meanwhile, myself and millions others will continue to support their amazing work with series such as GRAW, RB6 and soon to be their next big online title Americas Army. I'm sure their really concerned about the gross minority deciding NOT to buy their games. :lol:

Lol, five pages of Sony loyalists bashing Ubi when R6 is the best (shooting)game on the PS3. You guys are chasing your tails.
