Remember Free PS5, PS4 Shooter XDefiant? It's No Longer a Tom Clancy Game

Too many emojis, not enough war crimes and jingoism. Means we won’t get Sean Bean playing an IRA member in the Battle Pass though unfortunately.

I've gotta tell you, I've literally played this game and consistently forget it exists. It is not good. Just a drab shooter with no real substance and nothing interesting to carry it other than being a pseudo-crossover of Ubisoft IP. I have no hopes for this game.

"Remember Free PS5, PS4 Shooter XDefiant?"

Nope, have forgotten about this game til now and most likely will have forgotten it again in 10 minutes

Good move, but still not interested.

Remember the what now?

Of course I remember XDefiant!...that's that...um... one game with the goggles from Splinter Cell and lots of rainbow colored paint and stuff!

Ubisoft games try way too hard to be cool. Way way too hard.

Yeah, I definitely did not remember about this one

@nessisonett I thought emojis were a war crime.

@get2sammyb It feels like they only hire creative directors and decision makers that desperately wish they were cooler in high school and never grew as people. Like they design everything using sketches from their study hall notebook scribbles. They are consistently the edgiest of edge lords of AAA game design.

Good lord, that character roster image is pure, unfiltered "how do you do, fellow kids" material. Even for Ubisoft, that is embarrassingly generic.

Probably didn't want the name tied to such a garbage game.

It’s too bad, I do remember the outrage from internet peeps who just judged based on the preview. I love Division 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint so I was excited to see what they had in store. Although I guess if Clancy can easily be removed then maybe the name is not needed.

I do feel like last year a half dozen Clancy projects were teased and nothing has come out yet. At least let’s get some new content for Division 2.

They should take "Ubisoft Original" off the name too.

I'm kinda hyped for this game. Knowing that it's no longer Tom Clancy only, they can embrace the wackiness by adding in other Ubisoft game factions like Assassins/Templars, DedSec, The Rakshasa (Far Cry 4) and even Alpha Section (BG&E) among others.

I'm glad they realize this game has nothing to do with Tom Clancy. It will just piss off fans because this is not what the fanbase wants. If they just paste the author's name for the purpose of sales.

I’m sure we’ll all be back in a years time when they announce the servers are closing.

Glad they dropped his name..these games are a pox on his name sake and to be honest once games try to stop being hip,cool,trendy,edgey and down with the kool kids and get back to being the old school,un-woke tactical shooters of old (r63 and ghost recon island thunder era) it will be a better day to be a gamer..

I think Mr Clancy would be rolling in his grave for any game ubi makes with his name. Literally tarnished. Unfortunately they have lost their roots where this is concerned.

I'm glad more people are complaining about their try-hard overly cool style. Dear lord... Some of their dialogue. It can make a happy go lucky depressed in an instant. It was so absolutely atrocious in the Crew and Steep games.
I turned off the voice volume very quickly after playing. In fact, most Ubisoft games are best if you just skip the cutscenes. They're dumb games anyway and the story is absolute garbage. Always. So why not just play it like they deserve to be played

@RBMango looks like the typical late 2010s game . this is an unpopular opinion but i want the “gray/brown” era of the ps3 gen in the mid 2000s when a lot of games looked gritty back .

I want Tom Clancy Racing from ubisoft 😛

@lolwhatno nah, there was a very early beta I played on PC
