I wish they were purple. Purple is awesome.

 

[acm2000]

i fail to see a problem here?

 

[Ghazi]

no GBA version? fuck Ubisoft

Fuck the GBA, I need a N64 version of Black Flag to go alongside my Watch_Dogs N64 version.

 

[Robin64]

FIFA 12 is on 12 platforms, so this is quite sane in that regard.

But really, there seem to be more "cross-gen" games this generation than any previously. It's a little worrying, like there's less faith in people upgrading.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Spoiler

I just wanted to be included

 

[Rapstah]

The Atari 2600 box art would just be a poorly drawn cartoon pirate flag surrounded by an orange border with the words UBISOFT PRESENTS: ASSASSIN'S CREED: BLACK FLAG on top and VIDEO GAME CARTRIDGE: FOR USE WITH ATARI VIDEO COMPUTER SYSTEM below. The poorly drawn pirate flag should probably include the Atari rainbow somehow.

 

[Xian]

PC at the back of the bus.

Pushing the industry forward as usual.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

...I'm not seeing the problem here.

 

[Coolwhip]

I guess Ubi is milking the franchise dry, knowing damn well it will die soon. Then move on.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Jesus Ubisoft why wont you actively avoid making money?!

Aye. They're in the business to make money and they're doing a better job than most of the other publishers.

 

[Shrike_Priest]

I honestly don't get the criticism.

The AC-games are hugely budgeted games. The cost of porting it is probably miniscule compared to what they make up for it in sales. The fact that we're now in a situation where we'll have cross-gen ports is not something that will be unique to Ubisoft. Nor is it a shameless money-grab.

They were definitely going to make AC:BF for PS3,x360, WiiU and PC anyway. Being one of a few established franchises among the launch-window titles for both the new consoles is obviously great opportunity.

As much as I love indie gaming, or first-party vanity projects/labours of love, I don't get the hatred for 3rd party developers doing what 3rd party developers by design will do.

 

[JudgeB]

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

I laughed... a lot

 

[MarkMclovin]

Already laughing at the blue/purple argument, but when Gary Oldman turned up, I fucking lost it!

Mouth open laugh and fucking salad over my desk.

 

[celsowmbr]

Where is my Atari 2600 version? (with some gameplay screenshots)

 

[OmahaG8]

Ubisoft, Jesus.

Now kiss.

 

[Skellig Gra]

So their business plan should be to release less products on less platforms?

 

[njr]

dat 900 developers at work. God damn.

 

[Crawl]

Hey guys don't worry the PC version got delayed an extra two weeks.

 

[jimi_dini]

no GBA version? fuck Ubisoft

Pah, who wants a GBA version. But where is the Atari 2600 version, Ubisoft?

 

[WillyFive]

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

This made me miss rectangular boxes.

 

[Spades]

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

I'd buy this.

 

[Ushae]

I like how the XBO is down to the size of blu-ray discs. I do not really like how it is green on the spine.

But I like both fronts for the PS4 and XBO cases.

Yeah they look really good. Ubi need to make money, as long as the next gen versions are the lead platforms for development and the rest is 'downported' I couldn't care less about the other versions.

 

[Marleyman]

My favorite series before 3; now I could give 2 shits about it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's nothing. Rayman 2 is on TEN platforms.

That's double-digit platforms, ya'll

DOOM laughs at Rayman 2

 

[Ricker]

Well they have the engine down pat(sp?) and lots of people working on them so why not...everyone can enjoy it...

 

[LogicStep]

Is there any footage of the ps4 version of the game?

 

[Grinchy]

Is there any footage of the ps4 version of the game?

They were showing it off but people complained it was too purple and now they are re-tooling the colors in MS PAINT.

 

[Log4Girlz]

This made me miss rectangular boxes.

The boxes in the OP aren't rectangles?

 

[SJRB]

Is there any footage of the ps4 version of the game?

Sony's E3 conference.

 

[Ricky_R]

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

It's selling. Wonder how long until fatigue sets in, but with PS4/XBone coming out soon, looks like Ass Creed will keep selling.

I do feel a yearly thing is overkill but that's the video game business nowadays.

 

[ScepticMatt]

I don't see a problem with publishing it on many platforms.

Someone beat me to the brand guides. It doesn't even have red in it..

 

[LogicStep]

Sony's E3 conference.

Just watched it. It doesn't look that amazing to me like other titles shown. =\

 

[Froschi]

DOOM laughs at Rayman 2

So does Lemmings.

 

[BigDes]

So when does the pc version really come out

November 16th?

 

[Nokagi]

Actually it would be nice if every game was released on all platforms like this. I agree on the Assassin's Creed burn out though..

 

[Rapstah]

I seem to recall Game Boy carts having way more stickers and bullshit on them.

 

[Xbudz]

Awesome, XD

 

[Race to be King]

 

[Xbudz]

where is the Genesis version?

I would get this! Even if it was 2D side scrolling.

Welcome to the Next Level™

 

[jtb]

this is only a problem because AC3 was subpar. keep the gameplay fresh, and I'll take a new locale/theme AC every year.

also, what's with the boxes getting bigger and bigger in the picture. messin with my head, man

 

[sono]

Actually 6 versions does seem a tad extreme.


PS4 version at the front.

 

[Crawl]

PS4 version at the front.

PC standing tall and mighty in the back.

 

[Andrew.]

I seem to recall Game Boy carts having way more stickers and bullshit on them.

If you bought them used at Poopstop, then yeah you'd be right.

 

[xenist]

Will I be able to buy an AC 4 code listing for my TI-84? Ports included, they must have two thousand people working on this.

Kidding aside, I have no problem with this.

 

[Xbudz]

Who is responsible for all these retro fake boxes? I wish to submit them to Buckingham Palace for this year's honors list.

Awesome

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Welcome to the Next Level™

This is by far my favourite in the thread so far. What a hit.

 

[Bomber Bob]

no biggie
Ass Creed suxed from game 1

 

[Xbudz]

This is by far my favourite in the thread so far. What a hit.

Thanks! I edited this screenshot from the Genesis game Pirates! Gold
