Support NeoGAF

[xrnzaaas]

Zombi U is great, one of the few Wii U games to incorporate interesting and meaningful second-screen gameplay. Reminds me that there was once such a thing as an innovative Ubisoft.

Ubisoft at some point really tried to support Wii consoles with their third party releases. They got burned with ZombiU though and canned the plans for a sequel. And the port for last-gen consoles didn't play well with traditional controls and focus on scanning absolutely everything (kinda like RE Revelations 1 but it wasn't that annoying in Resi).

I'd like to see a staff picture of the Ubisoft INFOSEC CYBER department. Please, if someone can dig it up. I've got a theory based on some of the details I've read.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Oh no, I guess this will set back the development of Beyond Good and Evil 2 by at least 10 years.

Enjoy your cheap fucking Indian labour now!

Would be kind of interesting to learn when they changed Outlaws from a Han Solo game to Soccer Mom in space.

Or whether they realised they had a Sonic's teeth situation when they revealed Beast Mode as the face of Ass Creed Japan.

 

[Hookshot]

People really learnt nothing from Jurassic Park.

Don't cheap out on the personnel who can bring you down from the inside.

 

[Signalis]

Shame man, poor hackers.

 

[Disco Dave]

serves them right.. Only hipster scripters use crap like Mongodb

People really learnt nothing from Jurassic Park.

On the contrary, I think the hackers here learned "it's a Unix system, I know this!" pretty well.

(Fun fact for the uninitiated, what's shown on the screen during that scene is, in fact, Unix. Or Irix, and it's "3D file browser", to be specific. Yes, it was a gimmick, but SGI was all about 3D at that time.)

This is fucking funny.

This is a smorgasbord of errors. Not just one single error. The crown jewel, if true, is storing the source code for all the beloved Ubi titles in a web facing mongo database.

Outsource to scam central shithole… get scammed… surprise!

"Give us money or we're telling everyone you're churning out more Assassin's Creed and Farcry games!"

 

[simpatico]

Open-source Anvil and Snowdrop forks will be nice. I've been playing a lot of Division 2 lately and it totally holds up and runs like butter. No reason games have to look better than that either. I mean Ubi isn't using them for anything pressing at the moment.

Maybe it wasn't web facing but an insider, ie these Indian help desk people. I have my doubts about that though, seems to on the nose.

Yasuke to star in another 3 Ass Creeds. Hnnnh

There are few gaming companies I am less interested about leaks from, but I do thoroughly enjoy the absolute shambles of all this. It hits the spot.

May be is all a marketing campaign to tease WATCH DOGS 4

 

[Trilobit]

Oh no! The dozen people playing their games must be mortified.

 

[Trilobit]

Edit: doublepost for some reason.

 

[Mahavastu]

there's a watchdogs joke here and shit security that requires a cell phone, a drone, and parkor to hack Ubisoft.

In the first Watchdogs there was a mission to break into the Ubisoft offices in that city...

Maybe now I'll get updates on the Beyond Good & Evil 2 development.

Some more details of the breach:




UBISOFT Breach Details:

• Ubisoft was hacked, forcing Rainbow Six Siege servers offline
• Hackers gained access to internal systems
• Players randomly received billions of R6 credits
• Rare / unreleased skins were unlocked on some accounts
• $13 million real value in virtual currency given out by the breach.
• Accounts were banned & unbanned without reason
• Rumours claim up to 4 different hacker groups were involved
• Ubisoft confirmed it was a security breach, not a bug
• Servers were shut down to contain the damage
• Ubisoft says players won't be punished
• All illegitimate items & credits will be rolled back

Plus:

The Ubisoft breach began after the company shut down Rainbow Six Siege servers following a hacker who gifted players a combined $339,960,000,000,000 in in-game currency.

I predict that they'll file for Chapter 7.

 

[Deficit]

Remove the fucking ubilauncher from your steam games. 2K did it. Fuck off Ubisoft.

 

[yurinka]

Ubisoft has like 40 internal officess around the world, an one of the studios is in India. On top of that, like any AAA studio/publisher, outsources stuff in many companies from all around the world. But not help desk, at least years ago wasn't outsourced.

They have a internal studio dedicated to customer support in Newcastle (UK) and other one in Cary (USA). Don't need to outsource this.

those Hackers maybe can necesarrily owns Ubisoft games

a hacker who gifted players a combined $339,960,000,000,000 in in-game currency.

It was not a hacker it was Santa Clause who wanted to give Rainbow Six Siege players a nice present.

I don't support hackers
