Hi everyone,
I just take some time to share with you some insight I have, being a French player. I have some info that may worth the reading. Keep in mind it's second hand and not a official statement by any means :
• Regarding the ghost recon team : I'm talking here about the developers. One of my teammate have friend in UBISOFT, I can't be specific but believe me, it's a trustworthy source.
According to him, Devs have done what the editor requested with few but no freedom to discuss the choices made. They were requested to do things fast and, for what it worth, they are more than aware of what the community think about the state of the GR franchise right now.
This seemed to be something to share with you. I've red a lot of you here, asking for the dev team to be replaced, fired... Well, it seems the issue is more with the guys in charge rather than the dev in the frontline so to speak. But "we" as a community are blaming the devs, and it's a wrong target if we had to have one.
• Regarding the immersive mode : I had the opportunity to share with French Delta Company member yesterday. They are under NDA, but some have run play-test on the upcoming mode already. They aren't allowed to be specific as you may understand.
They said they were expected the TU to be delayed. Not because the team was late, but because of how deep the upcoming changes are. They said I quote :
"It is heavy, to me, it's a whole new game, so I've expected the timing will be too short, there are too much work, it's GRB 2.0."
Regards.
Hello,
Regarding it is not official but this is the information we wanted, why keep everybody in the dark?
2nd what I read is that breakpoint as it is right now is abondend?
Why not tell everybody say that the game isn't what we had in mind but we changing and it cost a lot of time.
Don't say next month update, then delay with 3 months.
I totaly agree. Having worked in the creative design field myself, not game development, I can tell you that the people you work with are passionate about what they do and do care about quality. The age old problem arises in that the management and higher ups are more concerned about the financial side than the creative output, which is understandable, after all it is a business. no money no product. So dont bash the devs, support them with encouragement, they are human. Regarding the game, there are things I do and dont like, but all the ingredients are there, its just the cake has to be mixed differently, as gordon ramsey once said ( he didnt, I just made that up but you get my point)
Not buying it.Originally Posted by vaessili_fr Go to original post
Unless you mean to insinuate that the known Delta people have been actively lying to us the community, until yesterday they were all pretty sure/certain that the update was dropping this week. They were all also pretty adamant that it was going to be an "experience" not a "mode".
So somewhere someone right now is feeding us bad information. For the record I don't think the Delta guys have been actively lying...
For what I know, the game is still a go.Originally Posted by Kazie31 Go to original post
They are heavily focusing on PVE. Things may change, but don't expect a lot for ghostwar until this summer at least, unless they've changed their schedule. The French Delta's member I've spoken with were enthusiast with what they've seen so far. I quote again :
As for the communication, they have a real issue and I really don't know why.What I can tell you is our feedback have been transmitted to the devs. There are a lot of things we've asked for and were listened and taken into account. There won't be everything we ask for, but it still a real step forward.
I don't try to convince anyone of anything. I share what I have. I'm not in Delta, I'm not from UBISOFT either.Originally Posted by Bone_Frog Go to original post
Therefore, Delta's members I know weren't aware before us of the TU being delayed. The only thing they knew about is that info had to be dropped this week.
Regards.
I'm not sure what to make of any of this. You either have alot of insight into the development queue and delta member information but are just relaying information.Originally Posted by vaessili_fr Go to original post
I mean, I don't disbelieve you or fault you but it just confuses me and without actually UBI input, I guess this becomes gospel? GRBP 2.0? I mean sure yeah but this thread is the first time anything of the sort has been posted.
