MidnightDragon Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Ubisoft announced today they will be delaying Skull & Bones to 2020 and it will not appear at E3 this year. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubisofts-skull-and-bones-delayed-again-skipping-e3/1100-6466914/ Maybe you should focus on making a game before turning it into a TV show. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserVendrix Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Can’t say I’ll be upset, considering I’ve never heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar_Of_Battle Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hoping this means they're working/polishing up a robust single player. Even if the game was based mainly on MP/Online I'd still get it if the SP was more than just some bare bones tutorial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Well, the stupid thing is they announced there will be a Skull & Bones TV series...uh, why don't you all focus on your damn game first?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Doesn't really bother me. Back when it was originally revealed, it just looked like they made a game completely centered around the Naval combat from Assassin's Creed IV. It literally looked like they ripped it right out of the game and made it it's own thing. So, while I enjoyed the naval combat in AC4, being able to get away from it and do other things is part of what made AC4 so great. The idea of a game that's ONLY AC Naval combat isn't all that appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they saw what happens when an unfinished game like Anthem and Fallout 76 come out and decided to polish it up more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Just what are they thinking? Announcing a TV series based on the S&B game before its launch makes hardly any sense. The game should come 1st. If the game gets a good reception, then think about the TV series. Generally I don't really give a damn about movie & TV adaptations of video games anyway... it doesn't help that so many have been laughably bad.

What if the game is delayed another time, then the TV show gets canceled before the release? It may well turn out that the show starts off doing good, then plummets in the ratings & gets the axe after 6 weeks. Ubisoft seems a bit smug.

EDGES Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I'm a huge fan of the ship gameplay in AC4, but unfortunately, this seems to be abother dead on arrival game as a service online focused game, I have no interest in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Sorry for reviving this old topic, but I will volunteer to put this game out of its misery. https://www.ign.com/articles/skull-and-bones-has-lost-its-third-creative-director 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the look of the game when we first saw it, it looked like they ripped the naval combat from AC4 and said "this is the game, that's it". I liked the naval combat in AC4 but didn't want a game that was ONLY that, and literally a direct copy of it (I believe the original reveal of it even copied over the sea shanties). But one of the last times we saw it, it looked like a whole new game that was something more than just an AC4-Lite and they actually had me on board for the first time.

JavaNext Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) It feels like Ubi is barely staying afloat these days, I'm guessing micro transactions are keeping their profits up because they haven't had a proper hit in a while. They need to rethink how they work, too many different studios involved in each project, seems like they develop with games with no proper direction or vision. Might be wrong but that's how it seems.

MidnightDragon Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 I believe, unless it’s a massive hit, this will end up being the end of Ubisoft Singapore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Chipotle Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Ubisoft is a huge company, more than anyone thinks, because they dont seem to have at first any scratch with all these proyects, cancelled or delayed, compared to other brands who made also questionable decisions,, as said before here, its maybe the microtransactions income which keeps things somehow working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Back when Valhalla first came out, Ubisoft gave a report saying 50% of their entire income comes form Microtransactions and the number was steadily rising. It just goes to show you, no matter how much backlash MTX gets, there's more people out there willing to throw their real money at some cosmetics.
