OK, let me be as clear as possible:

- As I reported, a number of good sources have told me that AC: Empire is set in ancient Egypt and coming in 2017. One source mentioned last year that it would also be set in ancient Rome, although I don't know if that's still the case.

- Today's 4chan rumor reeks of BS but I can't say for sure one way or another.

- Although I had heard from several sources that Empire would be the next big AC game and that the series was skipping 2016, I did hear from two different people later this week (after my original article went live) that there is actually some sort of AC coming this year (not Rome or the AC Collection, but something else entirely), although I haven't been able to corroborate any of the details, and it all contradicts what I'd heard from other reliable people. I'll stay vague for now as I'm still trying to figure out what's true. If I was wrong about there not being a big game this year, I'll do my best to correct the record as quickly as I can.

I appreciate your journalism, love of the industry, and your desire to be honest and forthright with the information you release.

And I still think Charles Lee is the best bad guy in the series

He's the antagonist, sure, but not the bad guy. The whole game features Connor blaming Lee for everything, while it's really Washington that killed Connor's mom and Connor himself who killed his friends (and father). Even after Washington admits that to Connor's face, Connor still acts as Washington's lackey and goes after Lee, who's just sitting around drinking himself to death at the loss of his own friends and cause. Then Connor oversees the rest of his people killed or driven off by Washington's friends and others enslaved and sold, again by Washington's friends, and he still shows no remorse for his decisions. In a way, Connor and Washington are the greatest villainous duo in AC history.

Throw in "The best Theme Music" in the series

Seriously? Better than Jesper Kyd's Ezio's theme in AC II or Rev? That's definitely a minority opinion.

 

[Toa TAK]

AC3 is the best AC for me.
And yes i have all of them
And yes i finished all of them at 100%
Everyone crap on AC3 just because the desmond ending. Play like me: don't give a thumb up for the present, don't even think about it for the next game, Present is just a Vehicule for Desilet to make us travel through time. They keep the present story...and it's bad because now they don't know how to deal with it.

But AC3 the story was one of the best in gaming history. Haytham, the beginning on boat, the campain very very cool with great battles, the plot twist after sequence 3, the great ending (in connor part, not desmond).

It was AWESOME.

Even though I liked the modern day (up until the ending), but I agree with this post.

AC3 was pretty good. Haytham was probably the most interesting character in the whole series for me.

AC2 and Black Flag are still my favorites though.

thank you
remember the main battle during the campain, the tea party...Lafayette and the Hermione, the final scene between Connor and Charles Lee in the pub

it was absolutely awesome.

No all of this is because of Achilles. Achilles Davenport was a real bad master assassin. The worst and in Rogue he's such a douchbag.

it must be such a huge relief for the team working on this assassins creed to know that they get an extra year of development

 

[Starsailor]

it must be such a huge relief for the team working on this assassins creed to know that they get an extra year of development

stop with that.
AC5 had 4 years and half
AC6 had 2 and half years....

Brotherhood and Rogue are the only games made in one year (and you like them a lot).

I said it again, if Syndicate was report to christmas 2016 but WITHOUT changing anything that we had in 2015, everybody will like the game. That's just psychology

Yeah psychology rooted in the fact that all the bigger AC came out as unpolished messes.
Since the pattern suggests that the next would be another big one, it having an extra year sounds good.

 

[M0G]

You should continue, Syndicate is really great .

They want Juno plot -_- and Inus, and Present story that we don't actually give a f***.
I know some peoples who played each AC only to see what Juno will say this time.

What the hell guys, this game is about epic adventure in History!

Okay I'll give it another shot. Say about 3-4 hours in and it just didn't seem anything new to the table except some trivial new game mechanics.

For me this is where the problem is. The Desmond saga gave us this back story and an ongoing story arc that wasn't really deep but kept the story going through the series. Then bang, no more except text on terminals and mentions of an ongoing struggle. No consentual participation in a struggle for the fate of humanity. You're just a guy who's guest starring in something, that you can get a glimpse of if you bother to.

It could be both. That's a possibility.

so if ac: empires was to come out this year you think the dev team wouldn't mind that much? im not talking about quality here or how much people would enjoy the game, im talking about the developers getting a bit more time than normal to develop a current gen assassins creed game, you even said it yourself: ac games don't get much dev time, ac 3 and black flag only got about two years btw, so im pretty sure the team is extremely relieved to get more time on this game than the majority of their co-workers got on other games

 

[Messofanego]

if they cancelled that prince of persia reboot to use the shit for assassin's creed i will be salty as fuck. prince of persia was always better than asscreed

Remember that Assassin's Creed started as the next Prince of Persia game. Prince Of Persia Assassins. Patrice Desilets detailed that with video in Double Fine's Devs Play series.

Everybody keeps asking for China, but WHEN would that proposed AAA China game take place? Just saying "China" still leaves you with over 3000 years of history to pick from. The spin-off game did Ming dynasty, so there's that.

Just wanted to say thanks. I really appreciate how great you are at finding interesting topics to investigate and then presenting them in a professional and responsible manner. You're the best in the industry. I also love that you often post on this forum to provide additional insight.

 

[Starsailor]

so if ac: empires was to come out this year you think the dev team wouldn't mind that much?

No i'm saying that the game since the beginning of the devloppment 2 or 3 years ago was to came on 2017. They just said "hey no AC in 2016" or "The egyptian AC is pushed to 2017" to create false hype because 2017 is the launch date since the beginning.
They know you will like a "false report" of the game even if that change nothing for them, that's bait and you're falling on that because here it is: there is no "bad" AC game (maybe AC3 liberation). All of them are good.

I still can"t believe how this licence is the most hated licence in the 2010's... i don"t understand, each time we travel throough time and it's fantastic. There is no perfect AC okay (maybe ACB/AC3/AC4/AC6 are on the top) but there is a constant quality on this licence. Like Zelda, final fantasy etc...

 

[Squire]

That games in a franchise are released annually does not indicate they are made in a single year or even close to it. We know it's the contrary with both AC and Call of Duty. It's not a secret.

These games aren't that different from a Halo or GTA. Ubi just throws more people at them to release them more often, which is their prerogative. I just pick and choose the ones I want.

AC seemed like a good base.
AC2 is junk.
ACB was good, but I was sick of the trappings at that point.
AC4 was great. Pirate mechanics and a light-hearted tone that was successfully moving and dramatic when it needed to be made up for a few too many tailing missions.
ACS is great, possibly better than AC4. Same tone, great mechanics, wonderful sandbox to be in. London both looks beautiful and is fun to do things in. You can really feel the Saints Row 3 influence and that's one of my favorite games.

The ones I didn't mention are the ones I haven't played because I don't particularly care to.

I think the big problem is people forgive, but they never forget. Or maybe both at times (like in Unity). Anyone that really knows about how Ubisoft works for this saga in dev terms, knows that each time has around 2.5 years to make the game. The problem is, that whereas other games could be pushed back in order to further improve and refine the title, Ubi has a tight schedule. Push too much back and then you have 2 ACs coming the same year, and I doubt Ubi wants that right now, which results in things like flying people, big holes where the ship should be and flying Altair on release. Not to mention:

Which is shitty for the dev team because I doubt anyone involved likes to release the product in such state and read things like "This game is the worst", "It's horse shit", "Fuck you Ubi" and etc.

 

[J_Viper]

It's got to be rough, but honestly, there's a simple solution, make better games.

Glitches and bugs were the least of Unity's problem. From a mechanical perspective, it's one of the worst games ever made. Everything from movement,to stealth, to combat is an absolute mess.

I should know, I clocked in over forty hours in the damned thing.

When most people say China I'm assuming they're asking for a game starring Shao Jun which would take place around the middle of the Ming dynasty. Early-mid 1500s.

I could be wrong though and maybe people want an entirely different time period and protagonist but I know Shao has always been pretty popular.

 

[J_Viper]

There's nothing simple about it though. That's the thing.

Simple is perhaps the wrong word, but there's so many boneheaded design decisions that plague Unity, I can't possibly comprehend how not one of the three hundred devs on that team couldn't have noticed.

Ah, I see. I haven't played Unity, but I've played something like 50 hours of Syndicate. I had to wrap my head around the UI and certain things in that game and I think that has more to do with the game being so eager to get you in the think of things it doesn't explain a lot of that. Other than that, I'd say it's pretty soundly designed. I understand it's an evolution of Unity, as well.

Fallout 4 also had this bug

And i prefer one bug for the day PRE-LAUNCH and then visiting this

I really think that in few years (1-2) gamers will come back to Unity and after all the patch and better PC (don't hope for PS4 or ONE, i will say it again but after watch dogs, the witcher 3 AC5 and more games: they're no "next gen"), people will realise that AC Unity is a really REALLY strong game. I don"t think gamers already realised what AC5 achieved. It's the last Desilet project. He's the one who said "ok i will work on the AC for PS4-ONE.
-I want massive crowd, i want the same "wow effect" as AC1
-I want Paris and the revolution because that's what fans asked for
-I want one city BUT i want monuments to be visitable WITHOUT loading.
-I want to re-invent parkour with the new button to "parkour down" .

you"re wrong.
Unity has good things that Syndicate don't have.

The ambiance in Unity and the fact that you can enter in monuments without loading is just the most great graphics stone that i saw since Far Cry 1.
I remember even developers from the witcher 3 that said they report the game in May (after unity bashing) but they're behind ubi devs because what they did, no one did before them.

 

[Tal]

I love Unity's recreation of Paris, but I don't like anything about actually playing it. I would be down for a mod of the game that just let me run around Paris without enemies constantly trying to start fights with me.

Actually it exist but Ubi give it to the Historian that helped them to recreate Paris. He used this for his classes in university.

But i know some gamers said "the game wasn''t about the french revolution".
-The side missions are all about that
-The coop-mission make player living real events from the revolution

so ok if you just count the main campain you have the Louis XVI speech, the death of Louis XVI and Robespierre... that's notmuch.
But the game explain with many details the life in Paris during the revolution...on side missions (best side mission for the saga from me but i'm only at 33% in syndicate though ^^ i Like Bell!)

I don't see how interiors are a pro if there's nothing to do in them. Any stealth encounter that took place indoors was an awful time

[FlangoNotGood]

Just do an Assassin's Creed 2: Remake that everything will be fine...

 

[veloxStrix]

I wonder when Ubisoft is going to let their employees go home and see their families.

Spoiler

Although Syndicate almost got me to purchase it when one of my friends brought it over.

 

[Starsailor]

Just do an Assassin's Creed 2: Remake that everything will be fine...

Assassin's Creed 2
Zelda OOT
FF7
i still cannot understand how you can say that every year for each of those sagas.
And i'm an "old" player. I play first on megadrive with Sonic 1 so yes i lived the OOT/FF7 effect.

You should really return to AC2. In 2009 it was really good...not now compare to the games today.

But it's all for nothing if the actual game isn't enjoyable to play, which Unity very much is not.

Maybe it's because i'm french. I'm subjective? But beside that, i played AC Rogue after Unity, and it was (in gameplay fact) absolutely awful after Unity in term of Parkour. I played AC2 recently and the side mission are...meh, the story is good, amniance, jesper kyd etc...i know i know. But the game by itself isn't good as in your memories. I understand that after AC1 (who had no narrative) it was a good evolution. But now there is better.
AC3 explode AC2 in all front.
ACB too... AC4 and AC6 too.

Honestly, the original AC probably had the most intriguing narrative and by far the best conversations in the entire series. The gameplay was repetitive, but I tend to think that about literally every single game, so it's whatever.

 

[Starsailor]

An Assassin's Creed 2: Remake would reinvigorate Ubisoft's reputation...

Well some really liked Rainbow six siege, AC6 is acclaim on Neogaf and others forums...
You just want AC2 and AC2 and AC2.

That's it. Whatever the next AC game will be, it will not be good as AC2
Whatever the next Zelda game will be , it will not be good as OOT.

In fact , many gamers destroyed Twillight princess because they tried to make an OOT2 for YOU because you asked that so much...
In fact, AC5 isreally like AC2 (european country, story of revenge) because you ASKED for that.

This will be destroy by Neogaf, whatever the game will be.

This will be destroy by Neogaf whatever the game will be, even if they perfectly suceed to mix an Okami vibe to AC.

I just finished Unity last night. It's not "a really REALLY strong game." A year after most of the bugs have been fixed, it's not bad. But it's not what you're saying it is. It's just a mediocre AC game.

 

[Starsailor]

"it's a good game but not a good AC one"

how...how gamers are now moe sarcastic than before?

 

[RedSwirl]

Honestly, AC3 made me interested in the idea of a Bakumatsu (fall of the Samurai) game.

Anyway, here's another good potential AC subject: http://www.badassoftheweek.com/index.cgi?id=33837513055 Main character could be one of her ninjas or something. AC would be a pretty big opportunity to do a slightly more "real" look at Ninjas and Samurai espionage in general during the Sengoku period.

I really really liked Unity. The fact that I played it on a high end PC after it was properly patched also helped. The game looked gorgeous, had interesting characters and Paris was amazing to explore. The only thing I wish they include back is the modern day settings. Yeah true they haven't executed that part very well in the past but the solution isn't removing it. All part of the mystery in AC1 to AC3 was what was happening behind the Animus, what was the true purpose of you being in the Animus. There's no mystery now in the franchise and I kinda want that back.

An Assassin's Creed 2: Remake would reinvigorate Ubisoft's reputation...

How would a remake of a six year old game one hardware generation back reinvigorate one of the biggest gaming developers in the world exactly?

Out of the games I have finished, I would rank them as follows -

1. Assassin's Creed Rogue
2. Assassin's Creed Syndicate
3. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
4. Assassin's Creed Unity
5. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation HD

Never played the original AC, ACB or ACR. While waiting for Black Flag, I played AC III when I purchased the super slim PS3 bundle years ago and made it up to the hunting part and simply had enough of the game. Played AC II after playing Black Flag and I honestly thought that it was too slow and boring. Of course, who knows if I would have felt the same way if I played the game before Black Flag. Made it up to sequence six or seven. Don't remember.

I'm probably one of the few people here that doesn't want the franchise to take a year off. I actually look forward to each AC game and after Syndicate, im hyped for the next AC game since I knew it was from the team that developed Black Flag. Having to wait almost two years for another AC game is a disappointment for me personally.

I played ACC: China at launch and it was okay from what I played of it. ACC: India looks a lot better and a lot more fun. Will try to play China before India comes out this week as I have no disc based games to play anyway.

I've been wanting an Ancient Rome setting for years...I want to start as a gladiator and earn my freedom, become assassin and you know the rest. Ancient Egypt Rome and Greece would be an amazing trilogy. I want to see the Marc Anthony and Cleopatra story and of course Cesar.

I never want to "become" an assassin again. Jacob and Evie already being assassins and at least a generation in that was a nice change of pace. We've seen enough origin stories.

I liked Altair the best, as he basically always had been an Assassin. I hope it's something like that.

Although I love the scenes where they officially become assassins I wouldn't mind this. Wouldn't be surprised if it was another origin story to introduce us to the new mechanics.

This is true for Syndicate because they have a one off entry.

If Empire really is the start of a new trilogy, 3 40 hours games sort of lend themselves well to an "origin" story.
