Beyond Good & Evil 2, announced back in 2017, is MIA/in development hell
Prince of Persia remake has been pushed back to an unknown date
Skull & Bones looks to be a bare-bones (no pun intended lol) Sea of Thieves
The Avatar game has reportedly been pushed back to 2023 or 2024
They continue to shill crappy, half-arsed live service games that they don't even support after awhile (HyperScape, Roller Champions, etc.)
They've released so many shoddy, second-rate games in the past few years that rely on the same open world, 10,000-icons formula (Far Cry New Dawn, Watch Dogs Legion, Valhalla, Rainbow 6 Extraction, etc.)
I honestly have no hope for Ubisoft at this point. They used to be one of my favorite publishers (Rayman is one of my favorite franchises) but not anymore.
@themightyant As much as I loved Until Dawn, I can't help but feel that because it was their first release in the interactive drama genre, people view it with rose-colored glasses.
I'll agree Man of Medan and Little Hope we're average at best, but House of Ashes and The Quarry were on par with UD. Maybe it's the genre people are growing tired of, and not the games themselves.
I’m cautiously optimistic about the Avatar game. On one hand, totally not a fan of Ubisoft and their open world game design. On the other hand, Avatar in video game form COULD be awesome.
THPS4 was one of the first 3 games my brothers and I got with our PS2 (along with GTA Vice City and Kingdom Hearts). The soundtrack alone is stamped into my mind.
Resident Evil 7 was and still remains my favorite of the series. They really nailed it with the exploration and setting (obviously reminiscent of the original) and the fact that it really brought the horror back and made you feel underpowered.
I really liked Village as well, but it was definitely the less scary of the two.
A lot of these horror franchises would lend themselves to awesome single player survival horror games. It's a shame everyone is chasing the asymmetrical multiplayer route...

@Shepherd_Tallon Yeah that "New Activity Available" overlay is extremely annoying. I hope there's a way to disable it.

Woo.

@Jackpaza0508 Exactly what I thought! lol

@Resi32 🙄🙄🙄 Don't see how this qualifies as "woke".
Re: Swashbuckling Pirate Sim Skull & Bones Is 'Not a Narrative-Driven Game'
Ubisoft is rapidly falling apart:
I honestly have no hope for Ubisoft at this point. They used to be one of my favorite publishers (Rayman is one of my favorite franchises) but not anymore.

Played Fallen Order earlier this year and loved it, so I'm happy the sequel will (presumably) be coming out soon.
Re: Ubisoft Delays Its Avatar Game, Could Be a 2024 Release
Ubisoft is terrible with keeping their release dates. Skull and Bones, Prince of Persia remake, and now this?

Re: Until Dawn, The Quarry Dev Acquired by Nordisk Games
@themightyant As much as I loved Until Dawn, I can't help but feel that because it was their first release in the interactive drama genre, people view it with rose-colored glasses.
I'll agree Man of Medan and Little Hope we're average at best, but House of Ashes and The Quarry were on par with UD. Maybe it's the genre people are growing tired of, and not the games themselves.
Re: Until Dawn, The Quarry Dev Acquired by Nordisk Games
"While many still feel Supermassive Games has never managed to hit the heights of Until Dawn on PS4 in the time since 2015..."
Many, a.k.a Push Square
Re: The Devil in Me Is Classic Hotel Horror, Out for PS5, PS4 This Year
@torne I think you'll like House of Ashes. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
As for their review, it was so low that the PS5 version of the game took a huge hit on Metacritic.
Re: The Devil in Me Is Classic Hotel Horror, Out for PS5, PS4 This Year
After the amazing House of Ashes and the underrated (especially by PushSquare) The Quarry, I'm very excited for this.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Release Date Confirmed for 9th November
@Amusei 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Re: Ubisoft Forward Showcase Set for 10th September, Featuring Assassin's Creed and More
I'd love for Ubisoft to do anything that's not a third person open-world game. New Rayman, maybe?

@OthmaneAD
Sounds like you just don't like the genre... doesn't mean the game sucks though.
Re: No inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper Games in Development, Sucker Punch Confirms
I hope it's another new IP then. As much as I loved GoT, we need some more variety in Sony's first party lineup.

Re: F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch Physical Editions Launching in the West on 6th September

Re: Rumour: Upcoming Need for Speed, Avatar Games Reportedly Release in November
I’m cautiously optimistic about the Avatar game. On one hand, totally not a fan of Ubisoft and their open world game design. On the other hand, Avatar in video game form COULD be awesome.
Re: The Chant Story Trailer Reveals a Cult Gone Wrong
Looks good. Glad to see more quality AA/indie horror games!
Re: Ubisoft Set to Showcase Its Upcoming Titles at Gamescom in August
Ubisoft is my least favorite publisher, but if they announced a new Rayman game or a remaster of the first one, they would be bumped up on my list.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Brings Back Rats on 18th October for PS5
October is jam packed with releases: Forspoken, Gotham Knights, Marvel's Midnight Suns, Modern Warfare II, and now this.
Meanwhile November is just crickets lol

Re: Tony Hawk 3 + 4 Remasters Canned After Dev Merger, Says Tony Hawk
THPS4 was one of the first 3 games my brothers and I got with our PS2 (along with GTA Vice City and Kingdom Hearts). The soundtrack alone is stamped into my mind.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
@WaveBoy Yes, the house/greenhouse/swamp section of the game was definitely scarier than the ship and cave part.
Re: A New Rating Indicates Skull & Bones May Drop Anchor on PS5 Soon
Another live service game for Ubisoft to abandon within a year.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
Resident Evil 7 was and still remains my favorite of the series. They really nailed it with the exploration and setting (obviously reminiscent of the original) and the fact that it really brought the horror back and made you feel underpowered.
I really liked Village as well, but it was definitely the less scary of the two.
Re: Evil West Gameplay Looks Like God of War with Guns
I like linear games more than open world ones, so this sounds right up my alley.
Re: Video: In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake
I was a huge doubter of this remake when the rumors started floating around awhile ago, but after seeing the footage of the game I am sold.
Re: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Gets a Gruesome New Trailer, Release Window, Now Coming to PS4
A lot of these horror franchises would lend themselves to awesome single player survival horror games. It's a shame everyone is chasing the asymmetrical multiplayer route...
Re: The Quarry (PS5) - Maybe Until Dawn Was Just a Fluke
PushSquare loves their low review scores.
