Ubisoft - We made mistakes

In a recent interview with a German magazine, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot and European head Alain Corre admitted mistakes had been made with rushing some of their first titles out onto the Wii.

Ubisoft wanted to be among the first to profit from Wii's launch, but too much haste let the quality of some games like Far Cry: Vengeance slip.

Corre also stated he was unsatisfied with the level of sales from the other two consoles (PS3 and Xbox360), claiming they both seriously needed a price drop.

I wish that other companies can apologize for releasing bad games. Cough Gundam for PS3 cough.

Ubisoft are a joke on Wii. Far cry Wii should have been the definitive version not a scapp together of dumped ps2 code out the software bin in the back alley. Get the games right and start pushing graphics, get on with it developers - stop being jealous of Nintendo and join the party.

At least they admit it, unlike Sega these days.

They also made mistakes on Gt Pro series and a bit on rayman.

The article was part of a section dissing the PoS3's poor sales. Heh.

Can't they just make patches or come out with expansions for the games that they rushed?

At least Red Steel is pretty good. The graphics are clean and the action is cool once you got the hang of it. I still can't get enough of those sword fights. My only concern is that there is no blood. Ubisoft it's ok to put blood on a Nintendo machine. Please do next time and keep releasing games for the Wii.
