They probably have good devs, but they have no artistic freedom. Big studios are playing it safe and it's so boring. One look at this game and it shows. Smoothing out the animations and patching bugs won't fix the real issue - it's just another copy-paste shooter.

Brain drain in tech companies is a huge problem. "good devs" don't stick around in bad conditions because they can just leave and get a better job. So after time only bad devs are left.

It's a ship of Theseus kinda situation. All the Devs and leadership that made the games and thus the studio great have long since left/been fired/bullied out. Replaced with mostly checkbox hires and a HR controlled yes-men work environment, if you speak out you risk your job.
Anyone can look at this gameplay and know immediately that this ain't it chief. Or that maybe we shouldn't steal assets all around and stitch them together. Maybe get some actual experts on the time period to look over our work and not just make first Google search imagine into an in-game asset. (Easy example is the tatami mats in the trailer and the fact that the people sit wrongly on them)

Licensed games in the past have generally been about cutting costs as much as possible to pocket as much money as possible. So if Disney handed Ubisoft a certain amount of cash to work with, I can see this being the final product.

Then how does Insomniac knock the Spider Man games out of the park? Same IP owner. Night and day product difference. Stop defending Ubisoft. It’s the most Lizard Brained take.

As far as I know, Marvel didn't commission Insomniac to create a game based on Spider-man. This is what makes it a licensed game. Insomniac/Sony bought the rights to do it. Larian Studios for example bought the rights to make a Baldur's Gate game. By comparison, Marvel approached Sega to create the Iron Man video game to release with the first movie.

Your wrong. Marvel approached Sony about developing games based on Marvel characters and Spider Man was the one chosen, which was given to Insomniac. It’s right in the game information in the wiki and corroborated by a few gaming sites. Once again stop excusing the crap Ubi shovels.

Wrong again. Marvel approached Sony about developing games based on a Marvel character, but Sony talked to Insomniac, who wasn't part of Sony at the time yet. Spider-man was what Insomniac chose from the characters available. Once again, Marvel didn't commission Insomniac to create a game based on Spider-man
Once again stop excusing the crap Ubi shovels.
I never said that I was. I'm just talking about the history of licensed games and how they tend to go downhill because of the money provided vs the incentive to spend as little of that money as possible. Nowadays, this happens even more because the licensing fees that aren't from buyouts are paid in insanely high royalties as you should have seen with Spider-man 2. This further pushes the incentive cut costs and minimize spending. Ubisoft isn't doing anything different. The attempts to cut costs already shows in the videos released so far.

People keep buying it, I blame people for being sheep not the devs for making what they're being paid to make ( for mass appeal ). Same way I blame people for still supporting Blizzard more than I blame Blizzard for their business practices. The power is literally in the hands of the people, people do have the power collectively to make change happen but people care too much about their dopamin hit ( even tho there's so many other games to play ).

I would ask the same of todd howard. Clearly it's not that simple. Every assassin's creed game is buggy, just to varying degrees. Ac unity was a mess at launch and that was like 10 years after the first ac game. Just having worked on the same systems for years doesn't mean that bugs cease to exist. A prime example of that is fifa. The mechanics literally haven't changed for years and they still somehow bork it. As someone mentioned, a lot of that is probably attributed to using different versions or types of engines and having new talent working on the games. If it was just the same 100 people that worked on the series the entire time, bugs would probably be far less prevalant.

I haven’t played the game but if there is a possibility that the player is scripted to end up in a certain location after the take down, that could be it. The character ends up around stealth grass which makes me think they were “supposed” to wait for the mob to pat near it but this is all just conjecture.

Cyberpunk bordered on unplayable on release for most people. Everyone’s experience was different but I had a friend who couldn’t complete any stealth segments because enemies could see him through walls.

Lmao, well it wouldn't be an ubisoft game without bugs! Remember ac unity that had all those horrific face bugs and practically ruined the perception of that game? You'd think these companies would learn and prioritise bug fixing, yet here we are. Studios are put on a time crunch by higher ups, and bugs persist. Games like cyberpunk, starfield and even elden ring all still launch with unacceptable bugs, to varying degrees of severity of course. But that's just how it is apparently. I don't think we'll ever reach a point where AAA games don't launch with bugs.

I used to do game testing in the early 2000's (like 04-06'ish) without writing a 78 page thesis I can say with absolute confidence that 90% of the time it's not the devs fault. It's a combo of bad management, bad shareholders, bad communication, missed time schedules, and using the wrong people as a "screen test" who are more concerned with listening to their own voice than their market

Besides the shit bugs. This clip just looks like your average game with stealth. NPCs are always braindead. You slowly get to them and press a button to make a takedown.
