Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

Update:



Thanks to HeisenbergFX4

​

• Ubisoft may be considering ending support for XDefiant after Season 4, according to a leaker.
• A new rumor suggests that Ubisoft is holding internal playtests to get new feedback on XDefiant.
• Previous rumors suggested that the game's player count is declining rapidly, but XDefiant's executive producer says that's not the case.

Although Rubin has since come out and denied reports that XDefiant is dying, leaker and insider Shaun Weber has taken to Twitter on October 14 to share some damning news about the shooter. The leaker's post claims that Ubisoft's research team is actively asking their playtesters to host an in-house test session to receive new feedback for XDefiant. Weber then said that multiple sources have confirmed to them that it's possible support for XDefiant will come to an end after Season 4 if the game's player count doesn't start to improve.

Shit game by a shit developer. I can't believe people thought this would be a COD killer lol.

You had the formula to compete and you still failed.

“CoD killer” was more on the wishful thinking side for a lot of people than anything else

 

[MDSLKTR]

Ubi raking in L's after L's, at this rate Neogaf could buy them out.

Literally 0 people ever said this was a CoD killer.

 

[diffusionx]

The game had potential but they released it way too late, it's not on Steam, they just kind of sent it out to die.

"Fuck SBMM!"

Game dies.

 

[Pelao]

I am just finding out that it even came out.

 

[rm082e]

When it launched, I think I predicted it would be shut down before Thanksgiving. Looks like it's going to go past that, so L for me. Nice work Ubisoft!

 

[gothmog]

The name is just bad and turned me off before I even tried it. The game itself is fine but doesn't make me want to play it. If I wanted to play COD I would just play COD.

I could see this putting pressure on traditional CoD multiplayer. They've been milking players for too long. I hope this title does well.

Wanna kill COD?

Anyway.

 

[diffusionx]

The last three Call of Duty games were awful. They had an opportunity here, they just totally blew it because they are incompetent. So did EA, by the way.

 

[DonF]

Its a decent game but it feels like a bad cod clone, no killstreaks, just kills. TTK is too low for the netcode thats trash. classes are meh, presentation is average. I really dont know what they were trying to do. its a game, yes. it works...

 

[Hrk69]

 

[Fake]

Gonna kill CoD... of laugh.

 

[Complistic]

Ubisoft, LOL x 28

I really dont know what they were trying to do. its a game, yes. it works...

All these companies trying to make the next Fortnite, CoD or Overwatch and just shitting out the most generic, average games imaginable. It's sad.

I could tell you months before launching this that the game would die quickly. No surprise there.

The COD killer eh?

After BF screwing up so many consecutive times, there's nothing that will remotely get close to COD

At this point it's just a self sustainable monster of its own

 

[MiguelItUp]

Can't say I'm too surprised. The game was entertaining for a bit during the open beta and fell off pretty damn fast even then IMO.

 

[BlackTron]

But I thought the game was doing fine? Yves G would never lie, especially to shareholders!

They really named a game after XD Reddit emoji

This is why Ubisoft is dying in 1 name

Game dies.

It's been proven time and time again that SBMM prolongs games lifespans online, but people still try to disagree.

Ok ok. You found 4 Ubisoft employees who anonymously called it the CoD killer.

LOL.

Leveling up was atrocious. Time inbetween games too long. That's insta fail if u want to capture COD crowd. But at least Ubi tried something new instead of typical AC/FC open world bullshido games.
