I guess the Destiny box is a secret kind of blue never before discovered.

That shit is purple.

Why did you change the color?

EDIT: I see this was covered.

 

[Kerub]

It's navy blue. The variations of colors that can be called blue is pretty big.

 

[Chamber]

Weirdest derail ever.

 

[FStop7]

I thought this was the announcement of an exclusive partnership between Jesus and Ubisoft.

 

[bangai-o]

Even after the edit it's more blue than purple.

Playstation 2 branding was dead on. It's gotten progressively worse since.

The "PS4" branding is by no means not terrible though, so it's no big deal.

 

[Daingurse]

side by side ghetto comparison:

As you can see in the picture posted above we have a Pruplegate on our hands...

Begun the color war has . . .

 

[Randdalf]

How can you say this? I'm not even a big AC fan but this is ridiculous.

And AC3 is not a valid answer because they are seperate teams.

It just is... massive open world games in a game made in a very short timespan on multiple different platforms with very little time for QA testing... it's a potent mixture for bugs. And come on, separate core teams maybe, but there's going to be a lot of crossover and it runs on exactly the same engine.

 

[xxracerxx]

My original pic versus the one I just took again from the OP. I didn't change anything for the fuckteenth time.

That box is purple.

You are using MS Paint....no wonder. Hence:

This is the worst posting I've ever read. How dare you call that colour navy blue when it's clearly royal blue??!!

 

[Makonero]

Weirdest derail ever.

You mean best derail ever.

 

[Lijik]

I was gonna crack a joke about how this company put out a Donald Duck game on 8 platforms what did you expect, but this thread took a really weird Huelen-esque turn

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Begun the color war has.

You guys don't know it yet, but this is part of the Half-Life 3 ARG.

 

[Sub_Level]

It will happen. They're porting Watch Dogs to the N64.

I would play it. I like going back to early 3d games from the PS1 and N64.

Don't deflect! Why did you change the colors? ANSWER #PURPLEGATE !!!!!!111111oneoneoneeleven

 

[J-Man]

You want ACIV, you probably have something that can run it. Not a bad thing, really.

Eventually I hope publishers abandon the PS3/360 generation so that games are not held back design wise, but the more places you can get a game without the design being held back the better. Except for first party published games, it just makes business sense. Exclusives are great for ushering new things into the world, not good to just prevent people from playing a game. Add to the world, don't subtract.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I'll never understand people's aversion to games being on as many platforms as possible. I'll also never understand people encouraging platform exclusivity for third parties.

 

[cloudyy]

The bottom of the case is purplish though. Then again, is the ubisoft logo purple or blue?

 

[RoboPlato]

The scariest part is that it means that their credits may get even longer.

this is what I was trying to say. Color profiles and web browsers are a headache.

Depends on the color profile your picture provider gives. Sometimes it will be very purple, sometimes inbetween/violet and some other times almost blue.

also i'd like to say that the human eye is weak on the blue range of color. We are way more sensible to red and green (speaking about RGB, when hiding information with a coded watermark, one would place it on the blue channel).

 

[Lijik]

Guys can someone confirm on if the assassin has green eyes or not

 

[exYle]

Because the only one that's been sub par was 3, and it was still decent.

Revelations was pretty sub par.

It encourages going for the lowest common denominator in order to save money.

I'll also never understand people encouraging platform exclusivity for third parties.

It validates peoples choices about the platform they have chosen.

 

[darilaho]

Nope. Same size.

For me PS4 is smaller, look that flange where was Blu-ray logo in PS3 case, isn't more

[NoirVisage]

came here expecting a Bible Games reboot, leaving discouraged -__-

 

[Anticitizen One]

were gamecube boxes considered purple or blue? I always considered them purple

 

[cloudyy]

Black.

Spoiler

Only the Z button was blue.

 

[xxracerxx]

You mean black?

 

[watershed]

Annual installments can be pretty bad but what's wrong with making the game available on multiple platforms? That seems like a good idea for a 3rd party publisher.

 

[Freki]

The official terminology for the color is "lunchboxcolor"...

 

[Femmeworth]

I bet they shall all be quality ports.

 

[Sulik2]

I am really interested to see what AC4 does sales wise. Those games have been juggernauts for Ubisoft, but I wonder if they are finally gonna dive off the cliff with AC4.

 

[Phinal Phantasy]

This thread is embarrassing. Why the hell would Ubisoft NOT put out the game on both current and next gen systems?

The franchise is tired, I think that's the point.

 

[Freezie KO]

I understand complaints about yearly sequels, but why is it bad if a game is on a lot of platforms?

Ports don't grow on trees.

 

[Owzers]

i look forward to renting this for ps4, playing it for 3 hours, and returning it. I'm always curious about AC games but never enjoy them, much like Grand Theft Auto games.

 

[GillianSeed79]

The franchise is tired, I think that's the point.

ACIII sold like 16 million copies or something and was the most successful one to date. Granted, the game was bug-filled mess and pretty mediocre IMO, so I wonder if AC fans will take a wait and see on this one.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

It encourages going for the lowest common denominator in order to save money.

I don't think either are good reasons to limit choice. People should not care so much about what other's buy and why.

 

[Chezzymann]

It is blue, I think.

It looks purple compared to the Wii U case, but on its own it probably doesn't.

 

[Freki]

I agree - I just gave you explanations for the questions you asked ;-)

 

[Freezie KO]

Ports don't grow on trees.

I'm assuming it's significantly less expensive to make a port than to develop and market a brand new game. A small amount of resources going to a port has negligible impact on any other games.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I agree - I just gave you explanations for the questions you asked ;-)

I know, i'm just still a little bemused at why it bothers people enough to make a thread about it.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Yeah, I expected Ubisoft to do this. They like to hedge their bets, after all. And release on as many things as they can.

That's what you get for using cheap-ass image software. Photoshop tells me it's blue:

It's not even in the purple color range, which should be high up above what this color is.

Shades of HUELEN10...

 

[maltrain]

Good for them and for us.

I don't like the third party exclusives.

 

[Femmeworth]

I'm assuming it's significantly less expensive to make a port than to develop and market a brand new game. A small amount of resources going to a port has negligible impact on any other games.

It's not just about the resources being redirected, it's also about the quality of the end product. Even games limited to two consoles suffer to some extent.

 

[CitizenCope]

Haha good one.

 

[Arsenic]

Whats confusing about what I said? I'd prefer it if they actually said Playstation on the box. It always annoys me when a company uses slang and abbrivations instead of their own name. Kind of like how Kentucky Fried Chicken calls themselves "KFC" now. Look at the old PS boxes:

I mean you don't see Microsoft putting X1 on their boxes.

I see your point, but they do need room to put whether the game supports PSN, game-sharing and the camera, etc. THe earlier Playstations did not support these features.

And before you say they should throw them on the back, well, its already crowded as fuck over there.

 

[oneils]

joke is flying over my head here. reference?

I didn't get it at first. But if you look at the ad, you will see that every single copy of the game prominently displays the age rating.

Ubisoft reeeeaaaally wants you to know that it an 18 rated game.

 

[Two Pikachus]

To be fair, KFC has to go by that name since at least two words in "Kentucky Fried Chicken" no longer apply to their product.
