Ubisoft thinks its new pirate game, yet another open world "live service" - deserves to charge $70 because it's a "Quadruple-A" game. I mean, for crying out loud! Let's absolutely have fun tearing this nonsense down!

最近、ゲームデベロッパーのUbisoftがリリースを予定している「アサシンクリードシャドウズ」について、歴史的正確性と文化的敬意の欠如が深刻な問題となっています。 このゲームは日本の侍を主題にしており、侍が武士階級の上位階級であり、「御家人」あるいは貴人に仕える者であるべきという事実を無視しています。実際、初めて侍の称号を得た欧州人であるウィリアム・アダムズ（三浦 按針）は、250石取りの旗本として徳川家康に仕える者でした。 このような歴史の中で、Ubisoft は侍の本質と役割を誤解し続けています。これは日本の文化と歴史に対する深刻な侮辱であり、またアジア人種差別に結びつく可能性があります。 私たちはUbisoftに対して、「アサシンクリードシャドウズ」の発売を直ちに中止し、日本の歴史と文化に対する真摯な調査と敬意を示すことを求めます。あなたのサインが必要です。この請願に署名して、文化的敬意と歴史的正確性の重要性をUbisoftに伝えましょう。

Despite it being a while back now it's still wild to hear about the literal man-children determining the fate of a game you worked on getting detained by the police!

One of the men mentioned here is former CCO Serge Hascoët.

He was the VP in charge of a project I worked on who did regular reviews on it (and many other projects at Ubi at the time), and is/was very close to the CEO of Ubisoft Yves Guillemot. Oh yeah and he perpetuated a culture of harassment at the studio and sexually harassed women.

His "special abilities" (which every junior designer had to be forewarned about before entering a meeting with him) were:

'banging his head against a wall and simply groaning like a child when he didn't like an element of a game instead of actually providing useful feedback on it'

'being abnormally bad at video games to the point people had to take into account that he was going to judge it based on his limited abilities'

'getting distracted by the smallest most insignificant thing and doubling down on it'

'wanting to make literally everything an RPG' (ever wonder why there was a certain era of Ubisoft game that was deadset on loot drops, item rarities and simply making lots of tiny numbers go up? Yeah that's partially his fault).

He also originated the term "AAAA", which was an inside joke for a long time at the studio because everyone used it despite the fact he never explained what it meant.

Anyway fuck these people and everyone who perpetuates and doesn't stand up against harassment in their workplaces!!!!

I have momentarily stopped playing one AC game so that I can play a different AC game.

In the interest of not completely burning myself out on Armored Core, I've decided to boot up Black Flag for the first time in ages. And you know what? I genuinely don't know what it is about this game. Like, I thoroughly despise Ubisoft as a company, Yves Guillemot can get fucked just as much as Bobby Fucking Kotick, and every single other Assassin's Creed game has bored the pants off me, but...

Not Black Flag.

There's just something about this game that I find incredibly relaxing. Something about it really speaks to me, on a personal level. It's soothing. It's like pirate-themed comfort food, y'know?

Made in U.S.A. (Jean-Luc Godard, 1966)

Cast: Anna Karina, László Szabó, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Marianne Faithfull, Yves Afonso. Screenplay: Jean-Luc Godard, based on a novel by Donald Westlake. Cinematography: Raoul Coutard. Film editing: Françoise Collin, Agnès Guillemot. 

Jean-Luc Godard's Made in U.S.A. wasn't released in the titular country until 2009 because Godard failed to secure the rights to the Donald E. Westlake novel on which it was based, although it's unlikely that even Westlake would recognize the film's relationship to the novel he published under the pseudonym Richard Stark. It's an allusive (and some would say elusive) ramble through all manner of detective fiction and film noir, often wearing its sources on its sleeve, with references to fictional characters, movie actors (e.g., Richard Widmark, whose name László Szabó bears in the film), filmmakers (e.g. Otto Preminger), and screenwriters (e.g. Ben Hecht). But it's also, as the character played by Jean-Pierre Léaud and bearing the name of the director Don Siegel says, “a political movie. Just like a Disney movie, only with blood.” Anna Karina's detective Paula Nelson is searching for the killer of one Richard Politzer, except that we never hear the last name in the film: It's always blocked out by some off-screen sound like a car horn. The reason seems to be that Godard is alluding to the Marxist philosopher Georges Politzer, a figure of some controversy in the  hyperpolitical France of the 1960s. Most of the movie's literary, cinematic, political, and historical allusions can be ignored, if you just want to let the bright colors of Raoul Coutard's cinematography dazzle you and the foolery of the film’s parody and nonsense scenes wash over you. (If you want more, there's a very good short film about the allusions included with the Criterion Collection edition of the movie, which is also currently available on the Criterion Channel.)

What if Bobby Kotick takes over Ubisoft?

What if Bobby Kotick takes over Ubisoft? Yves Guillemot and his filthy family have destroyed this company since the early 2010s, and after Asscreed Shadows fails (probably will score in the 70s range, which is nowhere near enough for their biggest IP) shareholders might finally push the execs the fuck out.Now imagine Bobby Kotick taking over Ubisoft😱Its not like this man can live much longer without having his fingers in the pot of others.

Star Wars Outlaws tem “maior campanha de marketing” da Ubi

Por Vinicius Torres Oliveira

Companhia não quer economizar para fazer o jogo se tornar um sucesso

A Ubisoft está apostando tudo no próximo Star Wars Outlaws, que será lançado em 30 de agosto para PS5. Não bastasse ser um jogo da lendária franquia Star Wars, a editora quer investir muito dinheiro no marketing para o projeto, esperando um forte retorno de volta.

Quem disse isso foi o diretor executivo da Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, que fez essa previsão otimista durante uma conferência com investidores. No bate-papo, Nick Dempsey, do Barclays, estimou uma venda de cinco milhões de unidades com base nas diretrizes da Ubisoft e questionou se a empresa estava sendo conservadora demais.

Guillemot respondeu: “Estamos considerando um lançamento forte para Star Wars Outlaws. O jogo está entre os mais esperados do ano e reflete um sentimento muito positivo da comunidade, além de ser nossa maior campanha de marketing até agora.”

A expectativa é alta para Outlaws, com a Ubisoft preparando uma forte campanha de marketing para garantir o sucesso. Os fãs e investidores aguardam ansiosamente pelo lançamento no próximo mês, e tem até steelcase em pré-venda rolando no Brasil. Garanta a sua:

Edição Steelcase de Star Wars Outlaws — R$ 369,90 (ou R$ 332,91 para membros Amazon Prime) Star Wars Outlaws (Edição Padrão) – R$ 369,90 (ou R$ 332,91 para membros Amazon Prime)

Apesar de parte da comunidade ter fortes críticas em relação ao estado de Star Wars Outlaws que vem sendo exibido em vídeos de gameplay, a Ubisoft não cogita adiar o título.

Ubisoft's free-to-play arena shooter, XDefiant, has made a strong early impression, surpassing the 11 million player mark across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. This rapid growth, following the game's May 21st release, positions XDefiant as a potential long-term success story for the company. XDefiant Shoots Past 11 Million Players A Strong Start: XDefiant Surpasses Player Expectations Ubisoft initially reported over 8 million players in the week following XDefiant's launch. The new figure of 11 million suggests continued player engagement and a growing community. This early momentum is a positive sign for the game's future, particularly considering its free-to-play model, which relies on a healthy and active player base. In a recent statement, Yves Guillemot acknowledged the importance of player feedback: "We must continue to listen carefully to our players and make informed decisions about where to focus our efforts because if you succeed in the service game, you can succeed in the long term." He further emphasized the significance of player choice in ensuring the game's longevity. Beyond 11 Million: Looking at XDefiant's Future While celebrating the player milestone, Ubisoft acknowledges there's work to be done. Guillemot outlines the future vision for XDefiant: "We still have a lot of work to do, but in a short time it was able to attract 11 million players. And this number will grow thanks to the work of the team. The main thing is to make the right choice and stick to it." This statement hints at Ubisoft's commitment to ongoing development and updates. With Season 1 kicking off on July 2nd, 2024, players can expect new experiences and gameplay optimizations. XDefiant's Esports Aspirations: A Competitive Horizon Ubisoft's ambitions for XDefiant extend beyond casual play. When asked about the game's future, Guillemot expressed his desire to see it evolve into a serious esports discipline: "Well, apart from the fact that the game will be constantly updated, gain new experiences, and optimize the gameplay, I would like to see it as a serious eSports discipline. But in reality, there are no limits for such a game in the future." The potential for XDefiant in the esports arena is significant. The game's diverse roster of factions, fast-paced action, and focus on teamwork create a strong foundation for competitive play. Whether XDefiant can carve a niche in the ever-growing world of esports remains to be seen, but Ubisoft's commitment to the game suggests they're prepared to invest in its competitive future. Building a Sustainable Future: Engaging with the Player Base While the initial player numbers are promising, the true test for XDefiant lies in its ability to retain and engage its player base over the long term. Ubisoft's commitment to listening to player feedback and continuously evolving the game through updates and new content will be crucial. Additionally, fostering a healthy and supportive community will be essential for player retention. XDefiant has made a strong case for itself in its first month, attracting over 11 million players and sparking Ubisoft's esports ambitions. With ongoing development, a focus on player feedback, and the potential for a thriving esports scene, XDefiant has the potential to become a major player in the free-to-play shooter arena. FAQs: Q: How many players does XDefiant have? A: As of now, XDefiant has surpassed 11 million players across all platforms. Q: When is XDefiant Season 1 starting? A: Season 1 of XDefiant will begin on July 2nd, 2024. Will XDefiant become an escort? A: Ubisoft has expressed its desire to see XDefiant evolve into a serious esports discipline. However, whether it will achieve that status remains to be seen. Is XDefiant free to play? A: Yes, XDefiant is a free-to-play game with optional in-game purchases.
