You will be able to play with an AI team in the massive world. At least they said that awhile back.

Good to see more MP focused games nowadays. Plenty of singleplayer games available that last for 5 hours or less for others who cant deal with it.
See a lack of Rayman in that picture.....so outside of South Park, not really interested in there upcoming line up :l.
Them focusing more on MP games isn't amazing news to me, as I'm not a be MP guy, but its good they are going to do something they think might be successful.
Rainbow Six seems to have a good amount of content out of the box, so I can't really fault the game for much at all, so happy its doing well enough.
And Ghost Recon & The Division have significant single player modes (story mode), in addition too Watch Dogs (single player IP) getting a new game this year; they haven't forgotten about the single player gamer.
Its nice they are talking about this and hopeful they ensure MP games have a good amount of content at launch.

Ya know I'm with you on this. I enjoy single player experiences but the vast majority of my gaming time I'm all about multiplayer.
Sometimes coming to GAF, I feel like I must be the only middle aged dude that enjoys games that have some longevity and aren't finished in a few hours. The more multiplayer focused titles the better.
Blood Dragon, Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, and now Rainbow 6 Siege what keeps me relatively close.Ubisoft grows more and more away from me. I remember the time when they were my favorite pub.

As long as they don't go off and do something like put in forced online into a single player city builder or destroy the biggest PC franchise of all time by making it tablet quality.

Nothing wrong with enjoying a multiplayer focus but you don't need multiplayer to have longevity. There are plenty of single player games you can enjoy hundreds of hours in.
And Ubisoft, please don't fuck up Wildlands.
Agreed but those games are few and far between. I'm enjoying xcom 2 right now and will be for countless hours but there are only a few developers that can pull that off for me(Firaxis being one).
95% of the time if it's not multiplayer enabled or focused it'll go straight to my backlog after a few hours never to be touched again.

Theres nothing wrong with this in general, but launching so many multiplayer games so close to each other is the bigger problem imo. Too much will split up userbases causing some games to die much quicker. Not to mention it sounds like it'll be based heavily on microtransactions. Also depends on if they add content for free and for how long.
Altho I did love WD1 hacking other people games.

Guess the Assassin's Creed udder has gone dry
I mean we can be the judge of that ultimately, but its bad business to go to a investor event with low confidence idea of "yeah idk this game may or may not be that big of a success...but we're throwing a bunch of money at it!"
For Honor will succeed simply because its a fun and complex game.

To be honest they dont have to push that hard but yeah, this.
pretty much , he push towards MP-oriented games, microtransaction and online.only SP with pseudosocial features goes directly against my enjoyment of their games
... kinda weird to see all those companies who recently implemented denuvo protection on PC still heavily pushing towards online-only future (feels kinda like waste of money) :-/

Good. I'd love nothing more than for Ubisoft to make a bunch of games that I actually want to buy.

Their First Volley in the War to make Games As Service the new AAA. I think I'm done with AAA video games once (if) that becomes a reality. I just pray that games like The Witcher 3 have shown publishers that you can still make profitable, complete experiences without forcing players to have a subscription service with every game.
Matter-of-fact, publishers might be better off just charging a monthly or yearly fee to have access to their games--like Netflix--only for games. Then we can cease and desist with all the DLC, Season Passes and other trivium that are keeping them profitable.

As long as they still have Single Player titles and keep producing stuff like Child of Light or Blood Dragon, I am good. I am quite interested in Watch Dogs 2 (hopefully they took notes of the major issues) and more RPG take on Assassin's Creed. AC4, Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, Child of Light were quite good so it's alright.
yep at least with current play-rate my backlog will last till pension anyway ;-)
Wonder when will this FAD end... i dont think there is enough mp-oriented gamers to keep all these "MP-oriented games with little to no SP part" alive

Siege is a fantastic and quite unique shooter, though. We need more like it.

Man you guys are so out of touch with the outside world sometimes. If anything I'm more worried about if there are enough single player gamers
fallout + gta seem to do ok
If only more single player games sold like GTA or Fallout...

I'm cautiously pessimist too. Still curious about Wildlands, Division and what the can do with the crew but for the rest... No hopes for watch dogs 2, not feeling for honor at all...

And call of duty,rainbow six,the crew,destiny etc seem fine as well.
Edit: even rockstar put a lot of focus in multiplayer btw. There's a reason the dlc has only been for it

If those MP-focused games are as good as Siege, I'll gladly buy them.

Can someone explain what I'm missing here?
This graphic has Assassin's Creed as one of the big releases in FY2015 and FY2016, but no Assassin's Creed in FY2017. Obviously, the FY2015 release would be Syndicate, as it fits that timeframe. What would the FY2016 release be? Does this mean Empire is coming in the first quarter of 2017? I'm pretty sure FY2016 ends in March or April of 2017.
EDIT: Or, wait. I think I figured it out. I think I have the fiscal years staggered forward a year. Judging from the other titles in the graphic, the FY2015 release would be Unity, and the FY2016 release would be Syndicate. Meaning Empire would be arriving in the first half of FY2018, which would be the back half of calendar year 2017. I think that's right...?

Isn't there an upper limit as to the maximum size the multiplayer game market can support. Even the best multiplayer game is dependent on its community to be enjoyable, and people can only play a limited number of games at a time. Ubisoft making its games more multiplayer centric is going to make their success far more volatile. Every game they release will have to pull players from existing hit multiplayer games in order to be successful.
