Jesus, Ubisoft.

Man, PS4 game boxes sure look worse that PS3 ones. I love the clean look of PS3 boxes, with their clear plastic. Oh well, at least they still look better than the XBO/360 ones, that green has always been awful.

Yup. The transparent area kinda smooths the whole thing, as it can end on a rounded edge thanks to it.
 
I do wonder what happens if/when AC tanks. At least EA/ActiBlizz have other games and options. What does Ubi have thats even remotely on that level?
 
Exclusive PS3/PS4 content? What's that banner on those cases that's not on the others. I can make out 'exclusive' on it, so I guess yeah, hadn't heard about that tho.
 
They'll be burned out when people stop buying them.

It was kinda weird how they were doing the marketing for Black Flag heavily in March/April but then it just sorta all disappeared. Since they started it so early, I honestly thought they planned on doing a 9+ month marketing blitz. Haha

I do expect to see commercials pretty soon though. The Assassin's Creed 3 commercials are permanently burned into my brain. I was literally seeing the same ad at least 3 or 4 times a night for months. They used to air them back to back a few times on Adult Swim. Lol

How are they not completely burned out by now? Yearly sequels and this latest one is on six platforms.

Don't worry - I'll be delayed for PC - so it'll be only 5 on launch day ;-)


I wish the boxes would actually spell out "Playstation" rather than this abbriviated "ps4" shit.
What?
 
what is the logic behind the argument that being on a bunch of platforms is a bad thing?

We are rotating into a new gen, so.........duh.
 
Gotta give UBI credit though. At least they try to go on all the platforms. Even the WiiU and Vita get some love from them.
 
Nah, it is understandable.

PC version, because PC
PS4 version, because 'core console'
Xbone version, because 'core console'

PS3 hangs in there for the console transition
X360 hangs in there for the console transition

Wii U, because I don't know really. I don't see it as a negative thing, Ubisoft is one of the few publishers that still supports the console. It's good value for Wii U owners.

Starting in 2014 (and 2015) we'll probably see PC-XBO-PS4(-WIIU) versions only - and that's not too bad.

I can't help but admire Ubisoft's dedication to every platform out there. No console will be left behind.
Yep. And of course, money is involved, but there at least appears to be a will to support platforms. To me, it's similar to what Sony does with the PlayStation Vita: a gaming platform underperforms, but nonetheless they are trying to get some awesome content for it - for the people who actually do own these platforms.
 
lol even after their resize of their cases MS is still not at the front of the casing order
just thought that it was funny no conspiracy/reason for adjusting their case size :P
 
It's purple/violet

The color picker tells there's a 85-90% of Cyan, and a 90+ of Magenta

PS: However, it's most likely a color format problem, nothing more.
I don't care what your color picker says. To my eyes on my three displays(one IPS, one plasma, and one TN) it looks blue.
 
Well isnt there a risk that it can be like what happened with Guitar Hero?

Considering they're not trying to sell you a new piece of plastic every year I think they can actually get away with a potential loss better than Activision could with Guitar Hero.
 
The real megaton here is that it looks like Ubisoft have finally stopped those boring, plain-black-font-on-white-background spines on their game boxes here in Europe. Ubi can finally stop making my shelf look ugly.
 
They have burned out. AC 3 is proof of that.

That Ezio trilogy was pretty amazing, but they can't keep doing this. When AC IV scores in the 60s on metacritic, it will impact sales and their hand will be forced.

I think they have their best and brightest working on Watch dogs and Division, so I really think AC is on its last legs.
