how long was the delays and did ubisoft said they were taking resources from the pc version in order for the consoles to release first?
  • Assassin's Creed 1: 5 months
  • Assassin's Creed 2: 4 months
  • Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: 4 months
  • Assassin's Creed Revelations: 2 weeks
  • Assassin's Creed 3: 3 weeks
  • Assassin's Creed 4: 3 weeks
  • Assassin's Creed Liberation HD: no delay... hooray!
  • several DLCs: a few weeks

And Ubisofts annual excuses are totally irrelevant, in most cases it is sugarcoated PR BS.

those PC versions didn't sell greatly.

Wow so many years of "disgusting, inexcusable and financially totally stupid decisions" of Ubisoft and they're still around. And AC is still their biggest franchise and looking at physical sales the game even seems to be performing quite well on PC. How is all that possible?

Horrible try. those games weren't delayed because of resources taken away from them. and none of the pc versions sold incredibly.

Pffff cause we all know that most PC gamers buy their games physical, right? Look at this:

84 Assassin's Creed PC 2008 Adventure Ubisoft 0.00 0.76 0.00 0.07 0.83
85 Grand Theft Auto IV PC 2008 Action Take-Two Interactive 0.00 0.73 0.00 0.07 0.81
86 Assassin's Creed III PC 2012 Action Ubisoft 0.23 0.42 0.00 0.12 0.76

Are you seriously going to try and tell me that GTA IV (which was late on PC as well btw) sold badly on PC? 

Also how do you know, that resources weren't taken away from the PC version? Are we making stuff up again, Zero?

Exactly. These are all retail sales. All of those games have had plenty of digital sales since their launches.

Given the Wii U version is delayed, I anticipate a port that either looks and/or performs better than the 7th gen versions.

Now I'm curious to see if DLC actually makes it to the Wii U version.


I don't think it will, they have already mentioned the season pass will not be offered on Wii U. I am hoping they add some free DLC on disc.

Bioshock Mass Effect, are two games of the top of my head that were released later on a different platform. Nobody complained AND those games sold well.


Happens with pc ports all the time, even though the games were, you know, made on them.

even better example

Ill slow down since you seen to not comprehend. If someone wanted to REALLY play the game they will play it when it comes. Otherwise they didnt really want to play it that bad.

bolded: Sure, no differences at all in the situation. dude, we are talking about a game that was multiplatform from the start and one version was hindered for the sake of others releasing slightly before schedule (if all versions had gotten fair treatment).

bolded2: said people will still be pissed, and those are the ones who will bother to wait and not buy it for PC or something else.

first has already been adressed but that went over your head as usual.

So if this really pisses them off that much, they werent really interested in the game in the first place. This might be hard to believe but most people arent that petty especially over games. SO they WILL buy it for another system. So its not a lost sale for Ubi and they can enjoy the game.

Nah, they're focused on finishing the next Assassin's Creed.

But I am happy that they aren't abandoning the Wii U :)

lololol Ubisoft will drop dead any day now. How dare you defend their inexcusable bs? Now Ubi is going to miss out on hundreds of lost sales from the WiiU version. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
