| Darwinianevolution said: Leaving aside how predictable their trend following is, they surely throw around the Tom Clancy name a lot, don't they? I mean, that's the name of an author, and we have to assume the games with that name attached are either directly based on his works, or set in his worlds. Since Tom Clancy died, I've seen his name used for all sorts of games, and I'm pretty sure he didn't envisioned most of those, I'm not sure how the family feels about the abuse of his name. |
Yeah...that's kind of one of the more damning things Ubisoft has done. Tarnishing the name, Tom Clancy. For years, when you saw that Tom Clancy name on a video game, you knew you were in for something unlike anything else in the gaming industry. You would be expecting something slower, tactical, stealth-like. It truly made you feel those tense situations you would be in. It also made you think of the political thriller movies.
Now the Tom Clancy video games are either dead, a hero shooter, a looter shooter, a battle royale, or a CoD clone with some weird punkish aesthetic in the XDefiant title. No game with the name Tom Clancy resembles what made those different franchises so unique and memorable, and would rather chase trends. What a damn shame for sure.
