Had the thought yesterday that Ubisoft is sitting on so many Bangers for multiple Niches. R6 is in between an Arcade game and a Tactical Competitive Game, curious to see where it’ll turn with X.
They have Trackmania which has like 70.000 People paying 20$ a Year to play the game and one of the best racing games on the market.
They have the best Medieval Fighting game (In my personal opinion) With For Honor and the “Art of War” tech that they under-utilize
Yet when it comes to the biggest markets they are crashing with their Far Cry’s at every sauce.
There are a lot of Ubisoft games I would buy in a heartbeat if Ubisoft didn’t own them, which is kind of hilarious to me in a way given the narratives around why large corporations are supposedly better at creating widely popular games.
Siege, For Honor and The Division were the three best non-singleplayer games Ubisoft has ever made and will ever make, and they’re all underestimated and underutilized. It’s insane. The Division survival was an extraction shoot with top tier mechanics before anyone else had extraction shooters, I’ve been screaming at their subreddit for years for them to turn that into its own standalone game. For Honor is a crazy cool fighting game, with an incredible combat system that they simply never used in anything else again. And Siege has always been a deeper competitive shooter than any other. I’m somewhat excited to come back if X is a good turnaround for the game.

Too many people making decisions, not enough people implementing those decisions.
