#Yves Guillemot

[jimquisition]

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!

I think we should throw Yves Guillemot off a bridge.

Ubisoft priznaje neuspjeh XDefianta

Ubisoft se u zadnje vrijeme suočava s nizom problema, uključujući pad cijena dionica, igre koje ne ispunjavaju očekivanja, značajne odgode i interne istrage. U nizu nevolja, dodali su još jedan problem na popis – neuspjeh XDefianta. Nakon dugog perioda šutnje i poricanja, Ubisoftov CEO Yves Guillemot napokon je priznao da je igra “iza očekivanja” tijekom nedavnog poziva s investitorima. Što je…

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��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!!!!

Ubisoft Confirms It's Exploring New Rayman Ideas Amid Report Of A Remake

Creator Michel Ancel is consulting on the platformer's next phase

The original Rayman is the game that put Ubisoft on the map. It’s been over a decade since the last installment in the colorful platformer franchise, but the French publisher is currently in the “early stages” of exploring what will come next for the series’ titular limbless hero.

“We are pleased to confirm Ubisoft Montpellier and Ubisoft Milan have recently started an exploration phase on the Rayman brand,” a spokesperson for Ubisoft told Kotaku in an email. “The project is still in its early stages, and we will share more details later.” While a new Rayman might not be ready for some time, the upcoming project seems to be more than just an “exploration” at this point.

Ubisoft’s statement came after Insider Gaming reported that a Rayman remake, codenamed “Project Steambot,” is in early development, and that former members of the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown team were moved to this new project after a sequel to that game was cancelled amid disappointing sales. Insider Gaming also reported that the original creator of Rayman, Michel Ancel, was consulting on the project, a move which rankled some developers at Ubisoft due to the former director’s reputation for toxic leadership.

The director, who had also previously been heading up Beyond Good and Evil 2, left the company in 2020 amid accusations of bullying fellow developers and being difficult to work with. He denied the allegations at the time, though Kotaku understands that there’s some lingering internal distrust among some employees over how the issues with Ancel were handled by the company.

“As creator of the Rayman brand, Michel Ancel is being consulted to ensure consistency within the universe,” the Ubisoft rep told Kotaku. The company declined to clarify precisely what his role on the project is and whether his involvement was a request of the studios involved or a decision imposed on them by Ubisoft management, including CEO Yves Guillemot, a long-time friend of Ancel’s.

We haven’t had a new Rayman since 2013's Rayman Legends, the series fifth installment, which received critical acclaim and went on to sell nearly 5 million copies across all platforms, including the Wii U and PlayStation Vita. While a remake of the 1995 Rayman wouldn’t technically be a new game in the series, it would probably feel like one given the transformation the PlayStation 1 game would likely go through to revitalize it for modern audiences.

And honestly, Rayman fans would take whatever they can get at this point. The character’s last appearance was in DLC for the Nintendo Switch’s Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, an excellent XCOM-style spin-off of a Rayman spin-off that nevertheless failed to meet Ubisoft’s internal sales expectations. That game was also made by the company’s Milan studio, which is reportedly leading development on the Rayman remake, and whose creative director left earlier this year after 25 years of service to start something new.

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?

Ubisoft had an absolutely dire 2024 and desperately needs a win

Enter and Win Robux Coins After the difficult 2023s that saw Ubisoft wrestle with poor financial results, the cancellation of many malfunctioning games, layoffs and CEO Yves Guillemot effectively put all the responsibility on the developers rather than watching. To the inside, the publisher failed to produce the ship. 2024 is a bad year for Ubisoft. At one time influential publisher Ubisoft may…

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.
