Ubisoft planning to release games more frequently

EASOFT!

really like ubisoft games

Honestly, if they released smaller, cheaper titles like Blood Dragon I'd be down. Use the same engine and maybe some assets and use more creativity instead of just tackling everything with money. I mean, people play pixelart games on purpose. I'd prefer cheaper standalone titles to DLC, unless they try to pull that episodic crap and make you pay $100 for a full game. That way they can try to recoup their investment in new tech and give gamers a good deal in return. Down with the $60 game! And no way to $70!

How do you get more regular with 20hour+ games than annual?

Isn't this the approach that Capcom took a couple of years ago? Yeah, it worked out great for them.

Wow, clearly Ubisoft doesn't know the power of anticipation. Instead of waiting for years, seeing the new game and people going 'Yay finally, a new AC game!', we wait one year and go 'Oh look, another one' and I can't help but feel that this will destroy the franchise in the long run.

And what about quality? No offense, but it's just a lot easier to create more innovations in a sequel if you have more time to make them. Like you could have a big load of new gameplay in the next game. Instead we now get little tidbits of improvements every year, and that hurts the games.

So no, I don't want more games released more quickly. Take your time *for once*. So says the voice lost among the millions of sales.

"According to Ubisoft Montreal boss Yannis Mallat, gamers want a new Assassin's Creed game every year."

Wh- WHAT?! Where the hell did they get this from? Who is in charge of their market research?!

I'm just curious if people are going to start comparing them to Activision or find a way to defend them.

I am completely okay with this as long as they maintain quality but the truth is they won't.

Was nothing learned from the rise and fall of Guitar Hero? Why do these companies not get get the message that flooding the market with any franchise is going to lead to consumer fatigue?

I think the yearly AC is not a smart move with the way it is done now as opposed to how it was done with Ezio's story. Instead of a new numbered release every year, like AC2 - AC3 - AC4, it gets a better response from the players when a new number is released every 3 years and extras like the one's done for AC2's protagonist (Brotherhood, Revelations) are released yearly. It seems like AC4 directly after AC3 resulted in a negative feedback because people thought it wouldn't be a good game or a leap game even though in its essence there is no difference.

Do I make any sense whatsoever?

AC every six months :o

With this article, maybe some people will understand the fact that Ubisoft making annual AC's doesn't automatically mean a poor quality game. There are so many teams working in parallel on every major Ubisoft project. For example, it has been confirmed that work on AC4 started 2 years ago, with 8 studios working on it. So the quality still remains.

As for the so-called poor quality of AC3, this is a matter of opinion.

One more thing: people saying they're getting "suffocated" with AC games. B*tch please! One franchise game per year is perfect. It's like watching a good TV series: you can't wait for the next season.

Like it or not, Ubisoft will rock this year with Splinter Cell, AC4 and of course WATCH DOGS!

.... 1 AC per month? lol Ubi go home you drunk.

give me a game each month!!1

Thats right, water that shit down!

With 26 studios, this is expected.

Wow really, the only games I'm excited for from them is the next Far Cry as long as it doesn't come out in 6 months, Prince of Persia and the damn Rainbow Six Patriots I've been waiting 4ever for, screw Assassin's Creed

get ready for assassin's creed 5 and 6 next year guys, we know it's coming

MORE regularly? I can't imagine they mean franchises like Assassin's Creed.

I played the crap out of each title in the franchise, but after AC3, I officially have AC fatigue.

I know they said next gen games would be easier to make (And harder to make, and more expensive to make, and cheaper to make...whatever crazy contradictory thing they feel like saying this week) But I was really bored with AC3...And haven't bought any other Ubisoft game since AC2...So if they feel like dumbing down all their products a la COD and Madden's yearly style...I guess my rarely spent $60 a game will go elsewhere...and I'll wait till they get reduced to $20 - $40 to maybe pick them up like most other games...I'm a very (cheap) picky gamer...

Just want Rayman Legends. I will probably buy the Wii U when that game comes out.

But... WHY THE **** PUT A BOY TO PLAY A GAME MADE FOR ADULTS!!

Yes!! The best company of this generation!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY WILL RUIN THIS COMPANY !!! Another worst company of 2014

there will be a time where AC will be themed on every country in the world. AC Ukrania, AC Mongolia, AC Hong Kong, AC Argentina... and that will be... next year?

I guess ubisoft is unable to learn from the mistakes of other publishers..?

great, we'll have Assassin's Creed 12 by next year

As long as the majority are new IP's.. That's perfectly fine by me
