@rjejr Seems like every article lately is PS5 Pro, Xbox, or Ubisoft for the most part.

The more I see images for this game, the more I really want to play it…

@kevinm360 Ohhh. I forgot about that. I’ve been wanting to play Remember Me. I actually forgot who even made it.

69? Really way too specific. This has got to be some kind of joke, right? That said, I’ve never heard of “Don’t Nod”. Seems like there’s barely any good news with game companies these days outside Nintendo stuff…

Seems like everything is either closing or being sold/acquired these days. Meanwhile Nintendo announced no plans to make acquisitions. Hopefully this doesn’t lead to them going under. While I don’t play anything they have made, it’s just tiring seeing gaming companies close lately…

@themightyant Not even Pokémon has managed that since Generation 1, so this makes it truly impressive.

30 million?! When the hell was the last time a game sold that well!? That’s insane! I never would have imagined this game would do so well, I guess I don’t have much faith in “licensed” titles, especially in the current game industry…

Awesome! I’ve been so impatient waiting for this game’s release! I wonder if I should get the Pre-Order pack though…

Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but anyone else remember being able to just buy a console to play a fun game without worrying about how powerful or “upscaling” it could do?

Sure, Jan. Not like you haven’t said that before…How about figuring out how to keep your company going long enough to even release this game, THEN you can plan ahead.

My only real question about this is why not just have gone with the Pro in the beginning? Why even release the base PS5? I get these things are always planned in advance, but if this was always the idea... Were they concerned over backlash over a high priced console like back when the PS3 was released? I’m not really sure how to explain what I’m trying to say.

@ecurb7 Agreed. While I do understand the complaints people have, I’m always quick to just say “I have fun” when commenting on these posts. I don’t play games a lot, and I don’t plan to get a Pro. I have older systems and consoles, nothing newer ones than a PS Vita. And I have fun and enjoy playing games. I’m not into all these new things, but I’m not going to necessarily complain. I just stick with what I enjoy and have fun.

@Nei That’s true. I definitely agree with you

@Nei As long as you can still play games on it, no system I’d ever really worthless. Not everyone wants to play the newest releases. Hell, I’m looking to get a PS1 this weekend.

I’d rather get a PS4 and even looked into it a little. The only things that I’m really wanting to try on PS5 that I haven’t played with my brother are Stellar Blade and Infinity Nikki. Aside from those, nothing has really grabbed my attention compared to the numerous releases on PS4…But that’s just me.

@torquex Honestly? With how much attention the game gets, with about an article a week, and the interest for it in Japan, I think it’ll be the best selling Assassin’s Creed game in the series.

@PSme Agreed. While I don’t have a PS5 in any form. I’d rather have a base or slim model, these “Pro Enchantments” mean nothing to me, and I can still have plenty of fun.

Let’s see if Ubisoft even survives that long…I do have high hopes for this game being successful though, don’t get me wrong. I’m not going to play it myself, but I believe it will do rather well or rather poorly, but it all depends on if Ubisoft can stay afloat until then. And lately all the news we hear about the company is less than stellar…

Kinda crazy how incredibly mismanaged or even the baffling decisions lately coming from PlayStation and Xbox. And Nintendo is doing better than ever before. Definitely some wild times we live in for gaming lately…

Damn. And I thought Microsoft was bad about closing their studios. Sony is just pretty crazy lately.

@Foxhound Maybe he’s that Hermen guy who made the announcement. Seems smug enough.

@Oram77 I’m actually looking forward to this game.

I might have to import this game if it doesn’t receive an English version…I’m a girl, but this looks so cute!

I’m really looking forward to this game. Wish I could be part of this play test…

That’s actually insane. It’s only been out for three days? I guess people still enjoy Sonic games. Or at least Shadow. I’m a casual Sonic fan, and collect a few figures here and there. But it always seems nobody is happy with these games anymore. I guess since this one was so popular when it came out and the Shadow story tacked on really helped.

As much as I dislike this whole “Roblox” thing and hate seeing it. I do think it’s good it has a lot of parental controls. Not that I have children. But I feel like there just so much hands-off parenting these days…

@NEStalgia Those sound like those were quite the days.

Sheese. Talk about slime balls. They’re not going to succeed, so why not just quit? The first game was a scam, right? I only read that article about a second game. The second game clearly wasn’t going to happen. What’s the point of this? All these companies lately have layoffs or shut down, and then there’s this one that SHOULD shut down.

Is it me or are there game company layoffs every week now? The industry is in a dire state, isn’t it?

Considering the state Ubisoft is currently in, let’s see if this actually gets a release. Or like @Danloaded said, it’ll just be another empty promise remake everyone will be waiting forever for.

Are games just getting hornier these days or something? This or Baldur’s Gate 3 was…Well you know. Kinda miss when it was just a niche thing for anime type games that made people side eye you.

I really want to try this game. Hopefully my brother buys it after Christmas, then I’ll have a chance. Or “gift” it to him so I can have the opportunity myself!

The first game was great! It ran rough on Vita, but I am looking forward to the sequel! I hope the wait pays off.

@CutchuSlow I don’t so much want it to flop. I just don’t think Ubisoft will last long enough for the game to be released. In my honest opinion, I can see this becoming the best selling Assassin’s Creed game with all the buzz and headlines it makes every week, it is definitely on everyone’s raft at this point.

Wow. That’s unheard of these days. A positive article about Ubisoft? But I do like this. I’m actually shocked they’d even cut down the cost just because the season pass no longer exists. One would figure it’d stay the same, especially with their current financial state.

Everyone got too used to Ubi’s sales huh? Honestly since they do these huge sales soon after a game is released that I’ve only heard about, I don’t game much, it but them in the ass. Also, it’s like what, every other day now that Ubisoft is in the news? Now if there IS truth to this rumor, then yeah, how much longer before they start closing up more of their divisions until none remain?

I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom or a naysayer on all these Ubisoft articles. But it’s honestly just starting to look like their days truly are numbered. Especially when nearly every single article is negative about what is happening inside the company. Strikes, buyouts, financials, it’s not looking good.

@EddieGallad You should see NintendoLife whenever Nintendo rightfully sues anyone. You’d think the comments there were from people who hated Nintendo more than anything.

@AhmadSumadi That is probably the most levelheaded and spot on thing I’ve ever read on here. Sure, I’ll make snarky comments occasionally if I don’t necessarily like something. But I don’t just go onto articles throwing fits if it’s about something I dislike. At the end of the day, we’re all gamers, to some degree, and have games that are for us or things that aren’t. For me it’s JRPGs or mobile games, for someone else it’s getting a Platinum Trophy in Call of Duty. To each our own.

I’ve never played these games, but it’s a shame to see a long-ish standing series end. Especially since it didn’t even get like a 10th anniversary game? But at the same time, I think it’s good when a series actually finds a place to reach its conclusion; Uncharted, Jak & Daxter, etc.. It feels refreshing to me, since most series seem to go on forever even when they’ve run their course like Assassin’s Creed.

I love heavy metal. And I don’t even know who these people are?

I was wondering just last week when there would be any news for a new game from Naughty Dog. But I don’t know, I kinda like plots in games. I can enjoy some that don’t have any, sure. Atelier games I like, and some have rather loose plots until later I. The story. Or just things like Mario Party. But when me and my brother played The Lost Legacy, it was just amazing how great it was story wise. Curious to see how this pans out…

@TrickyDicky99 People just love their trophies. I mean sure, some are fun to try getting. But people just take them too seriously in my opinion.

@NEStalgia Ah. I think I understand it now. That’s actually kinda cool. I honestly had zero idea what it was until you explained, thanks a lot!

And as for the FPS, I was playing the game with my brother. He is highly autistic, so to him it looked weird, when he pointed it out I did notice how much quicker things tended to move. And it was only like two minutes in. But to him it was a bit nerve wracking. I don’t play games a whole lot, and mostly play Switch in handheld mode or even mobile games, so that may be why it was different for me.

@Medic_alert Welcome to the internet! Where everyone bitches about what they despise! Which is EVERYTHING. I have plenty of things I hate or really do not care to see ever. But I keep it to myself. Or will say it’s not for me, and that I’m not knocking opinions.

So this “ray tracing” shtick everyone raves about adds reflections to mirrors? Pretty sure games could do that before…Either way I am looking forward to this game. And I’d gladly play in Quality mode at 30FPS. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy at 60 honestly just did not look good to me, like the movements were just exaggerated and way too fast. I really don’t see how people enjoy it? Not knocking what you like, it’s just not for me.

Another day, and other Ubisoft headline. Anyone else starting to think they just aren’t going to last much longer? I honestly feel they either won’t be by the the end of the year, or probably close up shop after AC: Shadows is released. If it even gets released.

@Fishnpeas Agreed!! I don’t understand why everyone just has to take those stupid review sites to know if they’ll buy a game or not. Just play the damn game and make your own opinion!

@DETfaninATL Agreed! The Lizard was tough, but so much fun! And just swatting everyone away as Venom was great!

@naruball My only real complaint is the story being too short and pacing getting bad. I could not care less about reviews.

@KingPev I actually liked the side quest of finding the girl’s grandfather. Felt exactly like something Spider-Man would do. And I didn’t have any gripes about his Symbiote voice. But I do agree with some of your other points.
