Working employee of Ubisoft X country (I know which one). Told me that some hundreds of man hours was used to identify bugs/glitches while the numbers hit again, hundreds of them and when I'm saying this value, 100 - 200 is a minor thing in the course of the entire game progress build to present and more will probably follow.
He asked himself, addressed his own questions to me while I was listening to what he was saying: Following lines/questions:
"I don't know what we are doing here anymore, which department is building the game and what duty were given to take care off ? Us, verifying the next Assassin's Creed ( aka Syndicate ) of all it problems and then afterwards the other guys/gals assembles it when it suppose from the beginning that who is building the game, to not start with an already unstable build-(reffering as to the engine) ? Do we actually know what we have in front of us ? Are we actually building a game or the newest engines needs verification first (I mean we are trying to make a game on a engine that you cannot even call it yet that or else, an engine that doesn't understands yet what you want to do with him) to know eventually what we should do and from where to start with the set pieces, by making the game ?. Would have been much more better if the game will not have just one year limit, in particularly when a game is being build while the other is not even yet or close to finish (aka related to Unity).
He felt tired because was not about the job, but coming to know that in next day, the same state of nothing move on. Now, he can not predict if the game will come better than Unity and less problematic until the day of release, but if things stagnates at the same phase expect the worse to both performance and graphically level (the old image, posted below). Patches will roll in the course of months after the release instead of giving a little more time and not hurrying up the game.
As in some of Ubisoft games that lately faced with graphical downgrades, bugy scripts, codes aka the letdown of Watch_Dogs, if things will not take a drastic change inside the Company, more of their AAA titles could follow the same situation in the future.
