J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Ubisoft's blockbuster game been delayed for the fifth time! March 2023 is the new release date despite it supposed to be launching sometime in November and having a recent pre-release marketing campaign. Another shambles for Ubisoft who will miss out on their bumper pre-Christmas payday yet again. Not interested in this game whatsoever though as it's basically Black Flag Lite and its development history is sketchy to say the least. This delay is probably tactical as well as it not being finished. Skull and Bones Delayed for the Fifth Time - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Skull & Bones, Ubisoft's pirate battler that's been in development limbo at least since 2017, has been delayed yet again. This is the fifth time. Tar-Eruntalion, phil bottle, Riff Machine and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tar-Eruntalion 506 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 insert jeremy clarkson meme saying oh no!! anyway... that's what i feel about this game, from the first time it was unveiled they have sticked to making a vastly inferior black flag, it's better if they cancel it altogether and be done with it GazzaGarratt, IRaMPaGe, Riff Machine and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,589 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yep, wise move and back to the drawing board... or they'd have been walking the plank with the old swill they were trying to pressgang us with 😜 GazzaGarratt, IRaMPaGe, J4MES OX4D and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm surprised it didn't boom after Black Flag was released. Strike while the iron is hot and all that shit. We could've had Skull & Bones 4: Treasure Galore by now. With shit tons of micro transactions for $3 dollar sails and a bundle of wood grains for your ships.

J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Skull and Bones delayed for a SIXTH time. Just cancel this POS Ubisoft and stick to making the same old AC/Far Cry safe shite as it's clear they can't handle anything else. 3 other titles cancelled too which must take the total close to 10 in the last few years alone. Company is an absolute joke! Ubisoft Cancels Three Unannounced Games, Delays Skull and Bones for the Sixth Time - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Ubisoft has announced that it has, for the sixth time, delayed Skull & Bones, as well as canceled three more unannounced games amid "major challenges" in the industry, the underperformance of Mario +...

J4MES OX4D 9,798 Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Skull and Bones shows off new gameplay, and it’s still not very impressive | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The latest developer stream focuses on “narrative gameplay.” This is the trouble when your game is in development from a decade - by the time it is shown off, it's already dated visually and conceptually. Looks like a game from 2016 and has the typical outdated and uninspired Ubisoft gameplay framework. phil bottle, Tar-Eruntalion, Riff Machine and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tar-Eruntalion 506 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 five minutes in the video and the game is menu simulator and when you aren't in menus you have a fuckton of annoying ui stuff on your screen and my god the """"gameplay"""" they show is boring and bland as hell J4MES OX4D, IRaMPaGe, phil bottle and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,589 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Funnily enough they are sending out invites to a technical test for this game, which happens on 27 January. I must have registered at some point years ago because I don't remember at all. Riff Machine, J4MES OX4D and GazzaGarratt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like the game has really set sail into oblivion (not a bad pun I must say 😄). I do miss that mobile game you could play to ship and ferry resources around through the day whilst the game was off. I'd probably would've just taken a Pirate Simulator game by now. IRaMPaGe and Riff Machine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,589 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I was offered access to the recent beta, I didn't bother but footage I've seen suggests they are listening to feedback. Maybe they'll pull it round 🙂 J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
