even though its a love hate relationship with ubisoft at times, they made some of the most enjoyable games. far cry, AC, prince of persia, rayman, splinter cell etc.
hopefully splinter cell, rayman, POP will see a return.
How the heck is this comment on a IGN video? TH-cam, you're drunk.
@OnlyBigBoned I wish they made a watch dogs 1 part 2
Splinter Cell is a possibility but we'll wait till we get to E3
For Rayman, Ancel is still busy with BGE2 & WILD so I have hopes for him to give Rayman 4 to another dev team or finish BGE2 and Wild first.
Don't know about Prince of Persia but I would love for another game for his return.
Indeed, maybe most of their games are not GotY worthy but at they are the most consistent publisher/developer that rarely if not, never had development problem, delayed release and their games always released on three major platform on day one.
Even though every publisher has their issues, Ubisoft is the lesser evils of the big 3. Ubisoft is far above EA & Activision, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong however, Ubisoft still has a LOT to improve on.
That’s not really saying much 😜
They have set the golden standard for games as a service in the industry as a whole. They also set a very high bar in how devs listen and use feedback from the community while communicating with them while other publishers and devs would choose to stay silent or prolong answers. They have improved much and are far better than Activision, EA, Bethesda, TakeTwo, and many more. They also are not afraid to try new IPs and idea and support them. Three main examples are Siege, For Honor and Division. Siege is practically unique and a juggernaut.
Agree
What do they need to improve on? I can't think of anything
@@joebillage3578 things such as microtransactions are still a problems. In ac odyssey the exp boost microtransaction is kinda scummy and i know some people enjoy the combat of the game and wouldn't mind grinding, but i wasn't the biggest fan of the combat but was intrigued with the story and prefered to power through it. Also the r6 siege packs are not the worst but still bad. They didn't have them before but now you have to get lucky to get what you want, especially in special events when I want to buy a certain skin but I have to buy like 20 packs to get what I want. Ubisoft overall is great and certainly doesn't have the worst microtransactikn system, but that doesn't make it right.
Petition for Prince of Persia and Splinter cell Games.
DAHAKA kill me
All I want is a new splinter cell.
We desearve splinter cell. I woulda enjoy some Prince of Persia collection
Online Only hahahaha
Ye wouldn't mind. A new splinter cell
@@rbruno990 please noooo
This is literally the best show IGN ever made, keep it up Ryan!
Thank you!
I could listen to his accent forever, very soothing.
Man, I know Ubisoft can be pretty bad at times, but I love how honest Yves Guillemot was in the interview, he seems really humble. I had no idea he started the company back in the 80s. He's from the same generation as Miyamoto and Iwata. Unlike those suits at EA and Activision, he actually understands and plays games. Ubisoft still has a lot of growing to do, but newfound respect.
What a delightful person Yves is. Ubisoft is really one of the top publishers these days. Fascinating episode as always. Keep up the great work Ryan! And Mr. Guillemot.
Bot comment. No real human being thinks this
@@rosskaske6357 Yeah, this comment did not age very well. My opinions on both Yves and Ubisoft have changed quite a bit.
Mr Guillemot comes across as a very genuine person. It seems his mission and passion to put the product first hasn’t changed from the day he started his company. I guess this is a fundamental difference to CEO’s that are bought it with a singular mandate to increase shareholder value and place little value on the long term legacy of a company’s brand.
I love that the guy who created the company is still there 30 years later. Lots of respect for this guy.
Love you Ubisoft and Yves Guillemot ! keep on making those great games. This is how great Guillemot and Ubisoft are, they faught Vivendi to not lose their franchises and to not sellout and just be like EA.
Great interview! Honored to work in his Company.
It's funny because at first I didn't think I'd care at all about hearing from the CEO of Ubisoft as I much prefer hearing from developers but I have to say that Yves is really smart. I like the way that he recognizes that the best way to be profitable is to allow your tallent to do what they do and that it's not so important to compete directly with the most popular games but to simply figure out what makes those games great and try to compete on that level.
I really like Ubisoft because they have such huge variety of games like Far Cry, Assassins Creed, and Division an etc
Chris granroth M0DE Same
Watch Dogs! We need to mention this one!
@@redfoofan4618 qte + gta5 with none of what made gta 5 fun
I love how honest this man was. This may be my favorite one yet behind Bonnie Ross because I am a huge Halo fan.
Bonnie Ross - epic epic epic game of thrones epic epic epic
Brilliant episode! Loved this interview, I wish I could understand him a bit better but I got the basics of what he was trying to say. I had to rewind a few times to figure out what he said but I got it, lol. Fascinating how they fought off EA and Vivendi. Ubisoft is a great worker friendly, consumer friendly business. They have a business model that if more corporations followed the world economy would be so much better off. We might not have the top heavy wealth inequality we have now. They understand that without employees that are happy and customers that are happy the long term viability of the product will suffer. Profit is important but so is the health of the company. Vivendi would have squeezed every penny out of each IP until there was no creators left to make anything new. Ubisoft is my favorite video game company.
One of the best unfiltered episodes so far :)
Ubisoft has been by far my favourite publisher since the original Xbox. So many great franchises. Such consistent high quality (a couple of stutters here and there aside). Along with Rockstar they have really become the masters of the open world game and long may it continue. I'm with Ryan though, Splinter Cell is really the game that I've missed the most and it seems by the time it comes it's going to have skipped an entire console generation (likely it will cross generation). Looking forward to E3 to see what's announced for sure.
Great interview as always Ryan. Splinter Cell and Xbox go so well together
The power of green
Your right splinter cell is a ubisoft game.
This was just amazing seeing such a huge gaming juggernaut come and give his views and opinions 🤩
Interesting to hear such an open, and length interview with such a high level person at such a big company. You don't see that too often.
Amazing interview, props to the interviewer for the on point questions. Literally every question were things I wanted to know. The CEO also has a respectable mindset that is so different from his competitors. You really see how Ubisoft continues to improve and actually listens to players despite endless criticisms. And seeing how AC evolved really makes me believe they respect the creative visions of their employees.
Very entertaining, fascinating interview as always, Ryan! Every time you step up to the plate with Unfiltered, you manage to knock it out of the park!
May this series never die.
Ubisoft brings out such quality games lately undescribable how much they made me find the love for their franchises again after years of being mediocre at best.
AC, Far Cry, Division, Crew, .... all these amazing franchises where they actually prove to right the wrongs of previous games in those franchises.
Can't wait to see what 2019 will bring for Ubisoft.
Not that interested in Skull and bones but really eager to see Wildlands 2 or Watch Dogs 3 get announced soon.
Take a year off for AC and make it even better next year or next gen.
4Lx Wildlands was a failure , the crew was a failure . I mean Unisoft tries but rarely succeeds
@@dylana.9057 The Crew 2 was better than Need for Speed: Payback and Ghost Recon Wildlands is underrated.
Fascinating man! AC is still one of my fav game franchises. And watch dogs
Congrats, you have shitty tastes.
Ryan, I heard you discuss this series when you were recently on Nintendo Voice Chat, and I knew I had to check it out. This is awesome! You are very professional and ask some excellent questions. Can't wait to watch more episodes!
great interview. Wish Ryan had asked about, perhaps, what the French perspective on game development may be as Ubisoft have an interesting position in today's market; and furthermore talk more about the microcomputer culture in UK/EU which Ubisoft started working in.
Otherwise, recently been playing Rayman Legends and I think it may be one of the best platformers ever made.
So when do we have more UbiArt games since we haven't seen most of it. Also, when will the engine be released? They promised they would release Ubiart Engine as a free open source for devs, but I'm glad we're getting more games from the UbiArt engine.
Plus give me Splinter Cell and another Ubisoft/Nintendo Crossover!
Great content !!
Much better than EA's narcissistic and selfish CEO
Andrew wilson is what Kathleen Kennedy is for Lucasfilm. The devil!
"Better than EA?" Nah he's still the same
Yves seems like one of the most genuine personalities in gaming. Humble and excited to be able to do what he has for as long as he has. Cheers, Ryan. Great interview.
Ubisoft is by far my favorite dev/publisher and I love there open world's
His name brings the association with graphics cards. I remember the name featured in many pc game magazines for advertising. After a google search, he owned Hercules gpu company.
Great interview, thanks for this
Another awesome interview Ryan.
i love ubisoft their games are my childhood
I want the old „Assassins Creed“-Style back :(
I don‘t hate the new installments, they are great and I finished all of them but it just feels like a completely different game.
I just started playing unity again. Would love to see them go back to the old style
Willem Gorman unity was dope asf, don’t know why people hated it. Hopefully the new Viking assassins creed is how assassins creed used to be. Or at-least something brand new
@@logan5429 It was broken on launch so it kinda left a bad taste for most people but I agree, i really liked unity.
It was a very interesting interview. Thank you Ryan and merci Monsieur Guillemot. Plusieurs de vos jeux sont parmis les expériences les plus mémorables que j'ai connues.
Siege and Rayman Legends are two of my favourite game of all time. For that, Ubi will always have my respect.
There it is. I was wondering what happened to the set after Gamescoop, NVC, Beyond etc.
Prince of persia please ubisoft bring it back🙏🙋🙋
That game didn't sell well last time thats why they gave up on it
@@ashisforreal the two thrones?
Morningstar The Forgotten Sands
It probably won't happen sadly, Assassins Creed kind of replaced it.
This interview was one of the best I have ever seen with a gaming executive. Just awesome work here!!
Every question Ryan asks is great!
Excellent interview
Great episode. Keep it up Ryan.
I am so hyped for BGE 2!
Please Yves remake The first Assassin’s Creed I really wanna relive it again 😭🤩
R E L I V E I T A G A I N
Backwards compatebility
YVES, YOU HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOU BACK TO BRET AT E3!
Wow he’s so soft spoken I wasn’t expecting that lol
Great Job Ryan! Thank you Yves!
I really love the world's that Ubisoft create. Easily my favourite development studio, great interview
Nice one for confirming how loved splinter cell is. Fingers crossed for E3 but I’ve been saying that for the last 3 years. I’d also love a HAWX game. Not enough flight games on this generation.
18:10 Splinter Cell discussion
I want a multiplayer ghost recon with realistic af sniping. I want to use instruments to check humidity and wind and snipe from a mile away
Bring back the sands ubisoft.
Bring the Prince back to Persia.
price of persia sands of time trilogy remake for next gen would be neat
i love those games
I dont think it will happen as long as AC is still huge. I'm pretty sure they let prince of persia as a game go to the wayside because of how similar some of the gameplay was to current assains creed (like the parkour and stuff) which i understand. So yeah i don't think it will happen until AC is not popular anymore, and when them basically re-inventing the franchise it seems more popular now maybe than it ever was.
Why is echo in the thumbnail
Definitely need a new Splinter Cell ,
don't know if people remember but that'd be great if they reboot DeathRow (2002) that game could be huge for couch gaming and online
❣️Huge props to Ubisoft⭐️
I can say 💭 this company is the best I love ❤ what they're making and really enjoy playing their games.
Yves is the man. Love Ubi's stuff. Can't wait for Skull & Bones!
What happened to the audio of this video?
Splinter Cell Please.... -.-
Love his answer about Hollywood
Please, do a Rayman x Mario crossover...
Great Job Ryan.
ASSASSIN'S CCCRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!
Make a great Prince of Persia game and i'll give you my money in a flash.
We need UbiArt Framework as a open source engine, may be its hard to use but People will learn it :)
I love the most ubisoft games! Thank you Yves Guillemont!
Well this aged like fine wine considering all the abuse allegations
Watch dogs 3 coming to e3 2019 realase date or 2020 coming to ps5 yes or no ?
I love for honor
make a prince of persia game with new story feature
Mario+Rabbids is one of my favorite games on Switch.
Splinter cell please
I want Swiss operators in Rainbow Six Siege, im even willing to do mocap, voice acting and even research, I will be willing to contribute in anyway, I wanna represent my people.
So make a splinter cell prequel than
Hi Ubisoft, us stealth fans need more stealth games, be the main company for it and give us a splinter cell game every 2 years or so, just none of that cover shooter stuff please, but more shadows, thanks. Maybe a cold war spy/espionage game, take the idea rockstar had/have for Agent and make it yourself, please. thanks again.
I agree wholeheartedly. I get why they want to make it accessible for action players as well; but the great thing about the original splinter cells were that they made you move slow and quietly. A complete return to that focus on stealth would make my day. My favourite games ever. I would love to see one set in the cold war
@@docmcbungas3303 exactly. Splinter cell back to how it was in the first 3 games is how it should be. They added in cover shooter action sequences and ........ I forgot what it's called, sync shot, they added all that and it wasn't a great game at any of it, it was bland and forgettable, and don't get me started on the way the character movement felt with the later games!! They already have ghost recon, assassins creed and the division for those other things, just make splinter cell a dark, shadowy, slower paced, sneaking about in confined spaces (not the whole time but those tight hallways etc do make for anxious moments), a tense atmosphere, free up the movement and camera and the guards, make their patrols less linear so it isn't a learn the routine and that's that kind of playthrough, lol yeah I think about this too much, I miss these games so much.
Ubi's shares must be soaring after this interview.
just give me another prince of persia game!
the same style that was warrior within, more adult more bloody and with heavy music, thats all i want!
Atari jaguar love! Still the best AVP game ever made
Kassandra 💜
36:02 did he just say Dynasy?
Dynasty was Odyssey's codename!
I just want a new Splinter Cell Yves. That’s it.
Please
16:42 watch his face
I keep saying Ubisoft is probably the best AAA publisher right now, yeah they have too may micros in some of the games i dont buy them. They support their games long term anymore which i personally like and his answer was genuine about the micros and didn't seem like it was a pure evil motive behind it all to me anyways.
Why you don’t ask about Prince of Persia redemption?
Ryan is in love 🤣
I wish Ubisoft strength in probable fight with Tencent.
Im stil waiting for far cry instinct evolution original
Why are all „gaming journalists“ always complimenting the industry in interviews, instead of criticizing them?
I they just update rainbow six siege for the new consoles
I love Ubisoft I like watch dogs 2 and far cry game and the just dance
Ask him about splinter cell 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 ask him ask him
NEW SPLINTER CELL GAME PLEASE!!!
I want Ubisoft to make a third person zombie game set in mars, I know they'll be able to deliver. Make it happen Yves!!!
Bring back a spiritual successor to Prince of Persia sands of time, but with an open world design
@Dark Night no, I am specific in what I'm asking for. Don't assume
Division 2 is awesome . Ubisoft is the best !!
idk nowadays something missing from ac games....
HE DIDN’T ASK HIM ABOUT PRINCE OF PERSIA DAMMIT!
