Official Ubisoft constructive criticism thread. No boycott. No whining.

I cannot figure out what problem Shamless had with Happy Squirrel's post -- unless it was with the unedited form.

First of all, Ubisoft only has to answer to its owners (stockholders). So it can do whatever it wants. However, I feel that BG&E2 is more at home on the Wii than on the PS3/X360 -- just like Tom Clancy games by Ubisoft are more at home on the PS3/X360 than the Wii.

Ubisoft has been around a long time -- it had games for the PS1. It is a large company. And it said it would support the Wii with Nintendo quality games.

However, only the launch (and ironically multi-platform) Rayman Raving Rabbids was truly well-received. Red Steel was recognized as a nice try. But since then it has been mostly casual children-oriented titles that make money (because they sell) but win no accolades. (The release of Suda 51's No More Heroes being an exception to this -- in both ways).

So when it shows off a snowboarding game that looks at best like a Dreamcast (and to many like a PS1) on the sequel to a machine that had more capabilities than the PS2 and at the same time goes casual to the HD consoles with another title that seems best for the Wii, of course people will be upset.

I take a wait-and-see attitude toward all games. I can usually find one or two to pick up. And if I never buy another game, I still won't be able to play all the ones I already have.

Still, it does seem that we have seen that much of what Ubisoft has decided to the Wii is not going to be worth the wait (at least for me). That is their decision, but it could prove to be unwise because they might have another high-quality, low-sales title in BG&E2 and life might have been different had it been on the Wii.
