REMAKE

[LexaCrazy]

If i buy this game, will i get the remake or i will need to buy Remake version as well?

[Astrodemos]

Well I just literally bought it and now it won't even open....it keeps crashing.
I wouldn't waste your time.

[MBK]

What remake? No official info on that even existing

[LexaCrazy]

Okay, but there are some clues... Don't be upset bro

[LexaCrazy]

Now you crush my dreams...

AFAIK there is no remake. Also I had the same crashing issue as Astrodemos some years ago but I've been playing the last few days and it is working perfectly, so might be from something else.

Cant seem to edit my previous post but; I should have checked before commenting as there seems to be rumors regarding a remake circling the past few months. But other than mods from other games to look like AC4 there is no official word from Ubisoft and so other than the example of previous titles being remastered, I wouldn't bank on them remastering this one.

Since Ubi$oft is at a serious eminent bankrupcy[www.eurogamer.net] (and also Ubi$oft's stocks value being upon downwards slippery slope pretty much since early 2024[www.reuters.com]) despite due to their last decade of careless customer/player handling, that utter tripe Ubi$oft's "Support" site[www.ubisoft.com], which still is mainly designed to keep stalling by going around that forking merry-go-round rollercoaster instead of actually properly providing fixes to your repoerted games' issues and/or related bugs and considering how poorly the Assassin's Creed III - Remastered (AC III - R) handled those lingering bugs upon both the original AC III and upon that previous AC: Liberations - HD PC port remaster from the PS Vita console, I think that it's fair to state by bnow that you simply shouldn't trust the current Ubi$oft's low ethical standards path as far as you can toss them.

Ergo: Until they realize that they must change all of the above amidst other things that I've left unmentioned above, like for example the "5 Directors at their French HQ's being arrested for having a sexual harassment environment for years"[www.theverge.com], nor that the "AC: Origins' (AC:O's) Director decided to resign from Ubi$oft after 'merely' being 17 years as their employee"[www.gamesradar.com], please don't give them any more wild ideas and start voting with your wallet instead of keep "feeding that current Ubi$oft's utter greed cancer".

Can't wait for this rotten company to go under and stop annoying us with awful and obsolete open world slop. The forces of Evil shall be vanquished.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is not only the superior game about piracy, it's the only ethical one. Buy that instead.

I'd simply like to give an huge thanks for the OP for placing my previous post as the thread's answer.

I already know that I'm upon the current Ub$oft's Staff's "black List" for stating the inconvenient thruth to hear so many times throughout these years, as my lastest open Ticket case about Assassin's Creed: Liberation - HD (AC:L - HD) is already being sent through Ubi$oft's usual discouraging attempts merry-go-round rollercoaster trips upon the Ubi$oft's "Support" site[www.ubisoft.com] for not having "Achievements" synchronized with Steam as they promised.
And all that after finally mustering enough courage to finish such a mechanically bad optimized game I've encoutered a "no longer being able to use the Whip Tool upon foes bug" when returning to that 1st save to finish some specific Assassin Persona "side quests" and trying to improve some DNA previous synchronizations. And apparently Ubi$ot's "Support" staff still can't read and comprehend previous posting replies to their fullest when it doesn't interest them.

And for all that... that's why I'd like to once again thank you, mate. Remember that "change must be provoked for it to actually start" and that also applies for the current Ubi$oft's low caliber ethical standards and ilk behavioural business practices mostly tied to their in-Game's Stores, game levelling up issues deviously enticing you to "pay to progress faster", "overpriced golden, aka Legendary, weapons/gear that you'll do fine without given a few hours past into playing and finally ending upon "aesthetical packs not related into teh game in the slightest like for instance that Assassin's Creed: Mirage pack to make it look like a Prince of Persia title.

And for them to change, we must entice that change by voting with our wallets, especially against the utter trash products (i.e., I don't dare to even call those games anymore due to their current and still on-going "modus operandi"'s way low, nigh zero standards) that they've been releasing lately.

I am not trying to defend Ubisoft's obvious missteps and wrong doings. But the idea of them going bankrupt is simply not realistic. They are too big of a publisher to simply vanish and even if really dire times came up either investment firms would step in or another publisher would. There is just too much value in the intellectual properties and name recognition alone.

Layoffs in modern times are not like layoffs in the past. Layoffs in the past either meant a struggling company or a new emerging tech removing the need for as many workers. A tech example of this would be operators were once required to manually connect phone calls to each other and when that stopped being the case those jobs largely vanished. but today companies can be hitting record profits and still do massive layoffs to restructure the company. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/despite-booming-economy-record-profits-174247693.html

The gaming industry is notorious for this. Job security in this industry is basically non-existent. Here is a 2019 example of Activision boasting record profits and choosing to do mass layoffs. https://www.polygon.com/2019/2/12/18222096/blizzard-layoffs-february-2019. Or just recently Marvel Rivals being a massive financial success and laying off most of the US based team. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-shooter/two-days-after-laying-off-us-based-developers-netease-says-marvel-rivals-has-surpassed-40-million-players/

I think the reality is now those outside the industry are just realizing the general practice of the industry. No one with any experience in it would ever be shocked by this. Those US teams were basically specialist teams and wouldn't be vital from this point on so they were purged. If there isn't some project to throw you into at the time when you complete one you're likely losing your job. This is why so many game developers live an almost nomadic lifestyle constant being released and hired and having to relocate each time.

Plus whenever a new project does arise that required someone of your talents it is easy to fill that position as there is a large pool of talent hoping to find their next job because of this process. It saves companies by not having to pay someone to sit at a desk all day doing nothing, and keeps wages down as a large pool of talent to hire from means the job market is in the employer's favor.

As for stock value, this is a way more complex topic than simply stocks going up or down mean success or failure. There are many aspects that can lead to stocks reducing in price even significantly even for a profitable company. Which Ubisoft is profitable even right now.

https://staticctf.ubisoft.com/8aefmxkxpxwl/5kn4pUVx6Vtb1Hir4vpqvq/fe35b53a1514635b0257418d1409d9e1/Ubisoft_FY25_H1_Earnings_PR_vFinal.pdf

So why the stock decrease? Well there are several reasons for this. The hard economic times we are in can largely expect reduced spending on luxury goods as they are non essentials. Plus Ubisoft being a French company could find itself being hit with future tariffs should they be imposed on digital sales.... which likely is going to happen.... https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-he-will-impose-retaliatory-tariffs-digital-taxes-may-come-friday-2025-02-21/

Then there is overvaluation which Ubisoft's stock absolutely applies to. The market will always adjust itself accordingly to these errors. So it was previously just over hyped and over valued.

Earning misses which Ubisoft failed to produce also plays a role. It is never simply good enough to be profitable. If I was an investor and you were the CEO of the company I invested in and you assured me and other investors that you expect to make 380 million profits in Q3 and you only bring in 300 million profits instead I and all other investors are going to see that as a failure. Both sound like such large and impressive numbers but that is a 22% under performance. Making my money better invested elsewhere even though you were still quite profitable. These events will hit a company's stock prices.

So as you see its not as black and white when it comes to stocks. Profitable companies like Ubisoft can absolutely lose stock value.

Also they did one of the biggest mistakes by putting them on stash with vendors and now they are selling for 100$ before even official release... They did a lot of mistakes for such a huge company... They are just in the bad postition at the moment.
