I disagree Platinum has proven time and time again that they are one the best game developers in the world and no one comes close to their output rate this gen. I would bet money that Granblue Fantasy and Bayonetta 3 range in 88-92 with critics. |
Not really, they are a mixed bag. For every great game they created, they did a mediocre or at the very least an unmemorable one.
I could easily list a dozen developers that are better and where chances of success for a game like Scalebound would be much higher.
From what I've seen Scalebound could've ended up in the 70-75 category quite easily as a few other games by Platinum already did.
I hope by unannounced game is a new IP or something more unexpected rather than some AC spin off or what every Dynasty will be or Watch Dogs 3. I still think the next AC at least on the scope of Origins will be holiday 2019.
That was a disappointing episode of Inside Xbox, a step back from the last episode.
We lose 25 game pass games (including mad max and bioshock trilogy), and what do we get in return? A 6/10 on steam filler indie game. Noice. Microsoft could be doing a much better handling Game Pass, but for some reason they don't. Where is Forza, Quantum Break, Ori, Cuphead, Conker Live and Reloaded, , MCC, Crackdown 1, Minecraft, PUBG, etc etc? The library is mostly filler indies, with almost no third party AAA games.
.
And the one brand-new announcement the show did have....was a fucking arcade machine.
At least they did do a good job of providing updates for their games (PUBG, Forza 7, Sea of Thieves, MCC)
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Dynasty is supposedly the next main game, set not too long after Origins in Greece. The leaks says that it was originally going to be Holiday 2019 but Ubisoft decided to release it in Q1-Q2 2019 after they saw the success Far Cry 5 had in that release window, and so they could focus all of their marketing efforts on Splinter Cell Holiday 2019. The fact that Assassin's Creed was in the Walmart Canada leak, which was proven accurate by Rage 2, tells me that the AC Dynasty Q1-Q2 2019 rumors are probably true, Ubisoft has never announced an AC game more than a year before it released before. E3 2018 is the last E3 before a planned Q1-Q2 2019 release however and is still less than a 1 year announce to release window. |
The thing that I don't think makes sense is that The Division is their big hitter for early on in 2019, I can't imagine a game that was planned for 2 years development been pushed back before March 2019 and I can't see them releasing the next AC within 2 months after The Division 2 either due to the style of game it is in it's shared world and how Ubisoft will wan't to retain userbase for that through continued DLC. That then pushes towards Summer and the E3 2019 window.
I could potentially see a standalone expansion for AC: Origins getting announced to go with the Walmart leak though.
Also if the next AC was planned for 2 years development and is rushed to something like 14-18 months instead it sounds like it will end up terrible on the optimisations and bugs which would take the series backwards after the great launch Origins has done for the series.

Q3 2019- Skull & Bones (probably August or September) |
I have a feeling that this might be cancelled (it was already delayed by at least a year), simply because it's lacking content. Ubisoft typically (over)packs its games with sidequests and similar, and Skull & Bones, as it was shown - has not much to offer by itself. Now, if they manage to actually do something competent with the single player campaign, that isn't just a string of battles, then it might impress. But in the state as it was shown, I don't know if it can pass off as a AAA game. Maybe if they sell it at a lower price point, they might pull it off.

Nah, the leaks say that Splinter Cell is Holiday 2019, and that matches with Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot saying less than 2 years ago that he was still hearing concept pitches for the next Splinter Cell from his creative directors (you don't reboot a AAA franchise with just 2 years of development). The game releasing this fiscal year is either Watch Dogs 3 (been 2 years since Watch Dogs 2 released, the same amount of time that passed between Watch Dogs 1 and Watch Dogs 2) or Assassin's Creed Dynasty (recent leaks say that Ubisoft are releasing Assassin's Creed in Q1 or Q2 next year because they want to fully focus on marketing Splinter Cell Holiday 2019 instead of splitting their Holiday marketing efforts between AC and Splinter Cell). |
Dynasty isn’t this year, they switched to a 2 year cycle. Also michael Ironsides(Sam fisher) thought the game was going to be revealed 2 e3’s ago. Along with the Walmart leak makes splinter cell likely. Back half of 2019 is skull n bones and creed.
also they arnt going to release dynasty q1 or q2 next year because division 2 is likely late q1 2019.
in my eyes this is their release schedule:
2018
q3 crew 2
q4 splinter cell
2019
q1 division 2
q2/q3 skull n bones
q4 dynasty

Voice actors frequently get confused about things, multiple times in the past I've seen them mix up games and have fanbases thinking something would be announced that wasn't. I'd say that Ubisoft's CEO saying less than 2 years ago that he was still listening to Splinter Cell concept pitches from his Creative Directors is a better indication than what a voice actor says, if we assume that he greenlit one of their ideas soon after saying that, Splinter Cell would have 3+ years of development with a Holiday 2019 release, which is just about right for a typical Ubisoft AAA game. Ubisoft never officially said that Assassin's Creed was moving to a 2 year cycle, they just said it wasn't releasing Holiday 2018, which doesn't rule out the leaked Q1-Q2 AC Dynasty date. They also said they were listening to fan feedback on the cycle, and even asked fans if they wanted 1 year or 2 year on the most recent official Assassin's Creed survey, maybe the majority asked for a return to 1 year. We also should take into account the fact that Ubisoft always ends their conferences with a surprise announcement, and that announcement is almost never a game that releases within 1 year, because it is hard to keep a game that is almost finished secret long enough for it to be a big surprise announce: E3 2012 surpirse announce- Watch Dogs. Released nearly 2 years later in May 2014. Splinter Cell just makes too much sense to be their big conference closing surprise announcement this year, and given the fact that 5 out of 6 of Ubisoft's past surprise announcements released later than 1 year after announce, it's pretty likely that Splinter Cell is Holiday 2019 imo. |
That’s a fair argument. Just a couple counterpoints
1) division 2 is this fiscal year but almost certainly not this year meaning it’s Jan-March. Skull n bones got delayed out of the fiscal year to add content. Meaning it’s still most likely sometime around summer. I just don’t see how creed can fit between the 2. Makes me think it’s holiday 2019. 3 huge games spread out amongst the year makes the most sense. Skull n bones makes the most sense to be in the middle because the other 2 are similarish(character progression, rpg elements).
2) origins performed very well with 2 year dev cycle both critically and commercially. Ubisoft probably wants to repeat that.
3) splinter cell has never been a big seller so I can’t see them making it their big holiday game unless they have too. 2018 is different because nothing else is ready unless watch dogs is nearly done hiding underneath a rock.
anyway you might be right. Could be I’m not seeing it rationally because I’m a huge SC fan. Enthusiasm discussion has made me realize Ubisoft is killing it and their best times are still ahead.

According to the leaks, they want this Splinter Cell reboot to be a big success, they want it to become one of their biggest franchises, as big as the other Tom Clancy series (The Division, Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Rainbow Six: Siege have all sold at least 8m with digital). To that end, they want it to be the only AAA Ubisoft release Holiday 2019, so that they can invest almost all of their Holiday marketing budget on the game (with just a small portion allocated to the yearly Just Dance). |
Guess we will see what happens but I don’t want to wait that long. And I never saw that leak.

Would not be surprised if the Reboot is more open world-ish like MGSV, I surely hope so. Splinter Cell needs to take advantage now that MGS is pretty much dead.
