The last few Ubisoft titles lol

 

[Danknugz]

Tom CLANCY ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE!

 

[niilokin]

another street cred bro shooter

 

[Negotiator101]

Combat looks fun and snappy. I still dont know what this game is supposed to be. Is it PvP? PvE? Is it battle royale?

Why is it F2P?

lol at the youtube dislike ratio 1.7k vs 1.7k.

Really? You thought it looked decent?

 

[Hypno285]

So begins the death of Ubisoft.

The death of Tom Clancy games.

 

[saintjules]

What happened to Hyper Scape btw? DOA?

 

[jezhumphrey75]

looks like a really reall bad warface breakout with retarded gadgets and costumes...just no

 

[Coolwhhip]

Catchy name…

 

[M.W.]

Xclusive Ace was brought in as a consultant. Guess that Xbodes a little well.

 

[Bombolone]

Looking at the collage of people developing the game. (3:00 mark)
No offense to them, but Ubi needs older people handling the Tom Clancy franchise. Maybe people who have read his books; have adjacent association with the military/combat world.
They just look like your classic young silicon valley hipster crowd.
No wonder the game looks the way it does...

or again, just don't use the Tom Clancy name. Nothing wrong with this game (the idea, design, concept), but let it stand on its own.

 

[TrueLegend]

Is this the game where ubisoft pays the user to play it.

 

[TheFawz]

Looks awful and I expect it to fail compared to the other big hitters before picking up like For Honor did. Feels like a soulless project geared towards income generation as the only focus

I feel like they slap the Tom Clancy name on anything with guns they put out, yet their most fitting games lately (Far Cry) don't have it. I wish they tried actually doing something similar to the books, but if the series & movies didn't push them towards that probably nothing will at this point

 

[Pantz]

Might as well add Tom Clancy's name to Goodbye Volcano High

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Haha the dislikes have now overtaken the likes and still growing.

Ubi you dun fucked up.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Nobody thought this was a good idea, except for some a committee that thought it was a great one.

And that title...Jesus H Christ. Why. Just why.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Thread will consist of men in their 30s being pissed that game makers are targeting the teen demographic.

(Time stamped for maximum impact)

Exactly. I can only imagine reactions when Fortnite was revealed around here.

 

[junguler]

free 2 play, fast paced and first person shooter, who hurt you ubisoft?

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Ubisoft is seriously working hard to make me hate them even more than EA.

 

[Zannegan]

I mean, I like CoD, so the gameplay looks solid enough. The *ahem "punk rock mosh pit" aesthetic can go die in a fire though. Save it for skating games and wacky mashups like Splatoon please.

Even grimdark grey on brown would have been better than the dank paintballer's paradise aesthetic they have going on here. This whole game feels sponsored by Monster Energy. Lol.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Oh look, we are so YOUNG and FRESH. Don't ya think guyz?
Brr...

 

[Unknown Soldier]

If Tom Clancy were alive, he would not have let his name be put on this shit.

 

[ihavezippers]

this sinks any hope of ubi making good games, for me atleast. beyond good evil 2, skull & bones, and any eventual splinter cell will be watered down micro-transaction-ridden trash like this

 

[Kagero]

It’s free guys. Relax. Plus as some had mentioned. Drop the Tom Clancy shit already. The name of the game is fine. The ,”Tom Clancy” makes it lame.

 

[ZehDon]

Tom Clancy's? Can some enlighten me on which book this comes from?

 

[kanjobazooie]

Tom Clancy's? Can some enlighten me on which book this comes from?

Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon were not based on any of his books either.

 

[Revolutionary]

If Tom Clancy were alive, he would not have let his name be put on this shit.

He actually signed over his name to Ubisoft in 2008 (several years before his death) for use in any videogame product for an undisclosed amount of money.

Ubisoft buys Tom Clancy's name

French video game giant has bought the best-selling novelist's name for use in media products.

www.cnet.com

So yeah, these "Tom Clancy rolling in his grave" comments are a bit off the mark considering he willingly agreed to that deal.

A more accurate statement would be "Tom Clancy's estate wishing they still received royalties from Ubisoft" lol. But I'm sure they're doing fine with royalties from non-videogame mediums, like the Amazon Prime Jack Ryan shows/movies.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Exactly. I can only imagine reactions when Fortnite was revealed around here.

I know you just shilling but watch how many modes/features end up in this trashcan of a game that will literally be ripped straight from Fortnite(an actual good game)

 

[packy34]

I know you just shilling but watch how many modes/features end up in this trashcan of a game that will literally be ripped straight from Fortnite(an actual good game)

Did anyone actually watch the video? This game has absolutely nothing in common with Fortnite. Am I having a goddamned stroke or something? It's a COD clone.

Did you read the post? I said watch how many modes/features end up in it, not that the gameplay is the same. You're right, it's a COD clone too.

Why would any mode from fortnite be in this game? It's not BR. I feel like I'm losing my mind...

It's not JUST that, it's Ubisofts business model.

They have Hyperscape as F2P, now they have this... I'm pretty sure there's another I'm forgetting but on top of that they have AC Infinite or whatever the fuck it is.

They're pushing live service games/games they can fill with microtransactions.

Ubisoft used to be my favourite game company back in the day. AC, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Prince of Persia...

To see Ubisoft insert their open world template into everything as well as making more f2p garbage and changing one of my favourite franchises to a potentially money leaching game just makes me lose hope

 

[Blond]

Jesus Christ, this is the most incredible amalgamation of things I hate. Completely irredeemable.

It’s a literal BLOPS 4 re-skin lol

 

[mckmas8808]

 

[DigitalScrap]

Exactly. I can only imagine reactions when Fortnite was revealed around here.

Yeah, but if they are targeting teens, why even use the Tom Clancy reference? They won't have any idea who the hell that even was.

 

[Inviusx]

Let me see here,

4 unique factions but the matches are 6v6 and teams are not faction locked, plus you can mix and match gear and skills from other factions

What the hell is the point of having 4 factions to begin with?

 

[Umbasaborne]

Looks like focus tested garbage

Ya ain’t gotta play it though. Lots of games out there.

 

[Azurro]

I'm so glad I'm not a Tom Clancy fan. This looks like about as appealing as Destruction All Stars on PS5.

 

[crozier]

The name is awful and easily the worst part of it. Take out Tom Clancy and start from scratch. I wish the characters didn’t look fresh off a woke rally too.

 

[Halo is Back]

The death of Tom Clancy games.

Ubisoft does not make Tom Clancy games anymore. They just slap his name on whatever garbage they put out.

 

[WizeVibez]

What in the F2P Chinese mobile shooter kind of name is that?

 

[Markio128]

It looks totally uninspired and generic, so will probably do really well.

 

[Zannegan]

Is there market research that points to mohawks and neon as the key to F2P success?

 

[Gamezone]

Ubisoft needs a reboot. I wouldn't be surprised if their upcoming Star Wars game is a reskinned Assassins Creed at this point.

 

[nowhat]

Ubisoft needs a reboot. I wouldn't be surprised if their upcoming Star Wars game is a reskinned Assassins Creed at this point.

I actually wouldn't mind. If it were like an OG AC game with like, you know, assassinating people. In stealth, with force powers and all that. Instead of flashy combat with no weight whatsoever and stupid RPG-lite mechanics.

...but we all know that's not going to happen.

[Neil Young]

I'm a Ubisoft fan but I KNOW I'm not the target audience for this.

You bastard! >:^(

I was anticipating Rafiki throwing Simba off the edge!

 

[Keihart]

oh god, i hate it already and haven't even played it....but somehow feels like i have.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Officially revealed about an hour ago:

It's like a combo of COD's craziest costumes and loadouts and Bleeding Edge.

Looks like UBI couldn't avoid the F2P trend with colourful wacky gameplay.

Trash. Even the name XDefiant sounds like something from 1997.
