Ubisoft: Last generation systems will no longer be supported

Ubisoft confirm they will no longer support last generation systems, its current gen and PC from now

http://gematsu.com/2015/05/ubisoft-no-longer-making-last-gen-titles

So....They are going to port Asscreed Rouge soon?

"Future Ubisoft games will be exclusive to the latest generation of consoles."

Except WiiU.

Whats a WiiU? never heard of it

@finalstar2007: Wii accessory.

It's on PC so all they need to do is lock the frame rates to 30, the visuals at medium and jobs a good 'un. Surprised they haven't done it yet.

WiiU confirmed last gen makes me lol. Nintendo marketing team am death.

Good

LOL @ WiiU.

But that's like 99% of PCs

They aren't supporting the new consoles very well either.... ZING!

Oh woe is me!

More annualized Ubisoft games I wasn't going to buy anyways!

Sh** don't say that on here!

Lol This is the exact question I asked when I heard the new. I've been waiting for Rouge to come to next gen since its release.

it would be nice. I want to try it out still but don't feel like finding space for my 360 again.

Surprised these greedy pubs aren't trying to demaster popular titles and get some money from cheapos still hanging on to last gen's stuff.

It would take you guys 2 fucking seconds to read the source of the news and see Wii U mentioned alongside PS4 and XBONE.

System Wars really breeds a lot of idiots

@Thunderdrone: Can't be bothered, girlfriend.

PCs don't have gens silly... Only if you count the annual gpu gens... but no one counts those, that would be unfair.

Good.

All new titles that launch in the future will be for PS4/X1/PC "("Wii U")"

C'mon.

After those last garbage Ubisoft games, i dont think many will care.

That was added by that NeoGAF poster, not a Ubi rep.

@Thunderdrone Link me to the original article then, and not the neogaf thread.

Last gen consoles can't run Ubisoft's new proprietary Advanced Microtransactions 2.0 software and so had to go.

This is where I bring logic into this thread-

1. Ubisoft graphics downgrade.

2. Prince of Persia dead IP.

3. Delays.

4. Where's the next Ghost Recon that wasn't on PC?

5. Asscreed, climb, stealth attack, find treasure, stupid DNA simulation, tired gameplay.

6. No 60fps.

It didnt come from an article. Its from the conference call.

then we must go with the interpretation of the neogaffer.

I hope so, they're a huge technological gimp, hell even the current generation systems are, however they have just enough power and modern feature sets at the moment to not entirely gimp PC games.

Or Ubi considers Wii-U last gen.

Yes, which added Wii U to PS4 and Xbone and listed PS360 as only getting Dance games from now on.

You jokers used to say 85% 2 years ago, then 90% last year, and now its up to 99%?

Wouldn't it be the opposite since people are upgrading?

Got a link or is it all just bait?

so salty

@-God-: Proof?

in ominous brackets, which says it all, and I'll say it again: 'C'mon'.

So with the information you were given you are choosing to believe Wii U is not included in their "next gen" comment OR the following one where they specifically namedrop PS360 as Dance only machines from now on?

Okay then. Wii U not acknowledged by Ubi confirmed. Wont even get Dance games :(

WiiU is last gen in Ubisofts eyes

Come on, you know damn well WiiU only gets 3rd party games if they are on 360/PS3. Mostly not even then. Actual next gen games? Not a hope.

This isn't a new thing...

And what does any of that have to do with what was actually said by Ubisoft according to the source, and how clearly many didnt bother reading before making jokes that make no sense?

Also, last time I checked Project Cars is an actual "next gen" game, also coming to Wii U this year. But I digress...

Yes, I need proof of that 99% figure. But even 1% of computers is more than the amount of PS4's out there.

Sucks. I still want new games for my 360, games still look great on old systems.

Eh, I'd imagine Ubisoft not supporting the Wii U as much has more to do with sales than power, Especially considering how the Wii U has accounted for literally 1% of Ubi's sales from 2014-2015.

http://mynintendonews.com/2015/05/12/wii-u-accounted-for-1-of-ubisofts-sales-from-2014-to-2015/

Good.. The 360 and PS3 need to be put to down already.

PS4 dominating no surprise, i believe capcom also announced that PS4 accounted for most of their sales too

Edit: yep found it http://www.dualshockers.com/2015/05/08/ps4-tops-capcoms-home-console-sales-3ds-best-portable-in-latest-fiscal-year/

I wouldn't go as far as that but eventually I think it would be a good idea to just concentrate on current gen consoles.

Amazing that this has to be said so far into the gen. I know people like to throw around "hur hur hueh, gen 7.5" a lot, but there is actually a lot of truth to it. So many cross gen games and "remasters", shit is getting old.

Be interesting to see:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/08/ubisoft-halts-planes-for-m-rated-games-on-wii-u-saying-they-dont-sell/

Ubisoft has implicitly stated Wii U is a last gen console.

If the WiiU sells more units..maybe

So yeah, my gif stands...:D

@-God-: So you have no proof? At least pirate up some numbers, PC nerd

It means that 360/PS3/WiiU are (or were) clearly lumped in together, hence WiiU getting some 3rd party games so long as there were 360/PS3 versions too. (AC4, Watchdogs)

Now that those 7th gen platforms are done, WiiU won't be able to benefit from getting their version of games, so going forward it'll be PS4/Xbone/PC versions. WiiU loses out. Again, this isn't new or surprising at all, why are you acting offended?

It's not a Ubisoft game, sport. Which is who this thread is about.

3rd party in general? WiiU will be lucky and get the odd one I'm sure, same as Wii before it. Poor example though, Project Cars is already out, apparently fun, and being played by Xbox, PS and PC gamers. WiiU getting a late port of one game isn't exactly something to brag about?
