So we already have a Sony and Microsoft thread here, so I thought we could use another one, since Ubisoft seems to be in the news a lot lately Laughing



------------

This just in: in Q4 of 2014, Ubi games on PC sold more copies than any other platform (24% of all sales, with X360 and PS3 being right behind (22% and 20% respectively))

Ubisoft: Far Cry 4 on PS4, Xbox One Equivalent to PC Ultra High

Quote:
"We develop on PC primarily, which is actually unusual. With Assassin’s Creed, we develop on console, so we start at that and we push the boundary of the console as hard as we can. But because we develop on PC, you’ve never really seen on console the ultra-high PC version before.

"So even out of the box, even day one, we just stuck the code on the new consoles and we were able to dial it all the way up. So as a console player you’re already getting by far the best version we can ship."

So... it's a spin on them toning down the PC ULTRA HIGH OMGZ setting so the consoles can run it on some weird 936,5p resolution at 25fps because well your brain can't interpret more while pressing those awesomebuttons, so why bother!

edit: Oh sorry, I thought this was the Microsoft thread! Cool Face

It's a comment in the shader file, could mean a number of things.
(For example that the function is irrelevant on PC.)

EDIT: Could also be something from a random programmer, such as the "Feminist" comment in the Dead Island skills xml.

It's real Smile Many people are debating the exact meaning behind it but pfft, this is Ubisoft. Since when have they *ever* cared about the PC? Very Happy

I do wonder what Ubisoft thinks of it, at worst since this little thing has gone a bit viral someone at say Ubisoft Kiev will be looking for a new job soon but I guess they'll just ignore it or it's otherwise handled silently.
(Comments in the code and such is quite common though from what I know, they don't exactly plan for people breaking the file format and unpacking the data. Razz )


Oh and I'm surprised by how well the PC sales did. Smile
(Unless they combine it heh, PC ~24% and "Console" ~67% and Handheld ~1% and others - mobile? - 7% )

Not that surprised actually, but with everyone shifting their focus on the consoles again I'm expecting a drop to 10/15% again. We are going to be 2nd rate customers very soon (well it's already happening)... again.

Nah, JB, you clearly got it wrong, man. Let me explain: that line literally means that nobody in Ubisoft development department cares about PC and more than that they are on purpose fucked up PC version so it would run slowly and bad on PC so people would buy more consoles and console version of the game. And, of course, so the pirates would complain about bad performance and Ubisoft will call them out of being a pirating piece of shit.

Seriously man, that was damn obvious what is this random comment line was about.

I think we need to start global internet petition and boycott Ubisoft and all the products. Also, gather some people to run some protest around their offices. Because really.

Not sure how is accurate this chart it, but the only stable grow (among major platform) I can see for PC, Xbox and PS fluctuating quite a lot and I presume it is mostly due to specific releases rather than the platform-related overall. I'm too lazy, though, to look up for PC releases and dates and make connections. Someone probably already did somewhere anyway.

Yeah that, it's gone so far now that pre-order DLC have started appearing before any actual info on the game itself has been released.

So glad I don't work with these guys anymore. Blatantly ignoring QA issues because they do not fit their "creative" ideas, HR and PR reps that live on another planet where ignorance is as vital as breathing etc. Benefits were good, but they didn't warrant the buttfuckery that was going on. I guess if I would have put money first, I wouldn't have been one the people being laid off, anyway, just a little bitching. I absolutely hate them nowadays and I think they're worse than EA.

Personally, I think Ubisoft should pay you. You already sound like one of their PR people.
