Ubi needs to get their shit together, so tired of playing in all these places that basically looks the same

AC2 and Brotherhood are the only two that look even remotely similar, and I guess you could argue AC3 and Rogue. AC1, AC2, Revelations, AC3, Black Flag, and Unity all look completely different. Either your memory has some serious issues, or you didn't even play them and you are just shit posting.Ubi needs to get their shit together, so tired of playing in all these places that basically looks the same

And I am constantly amazed by how many arrogant cynics keep acting like developers put no effort or passion into their work simply because their game is a product of the AAA industry.
You are basically saying that all European cities look the same, and I am going to have to disagree 100%. Artistically those cities have very little in common outside of Florence and Rome. Same goes for Black Flag and Rogue. They are completely different regions with completely different architecture and natural environments.lol Ive played an beat every assassins creed game except 3, Rogue & Unity.
AC1, AC2, ACB, ACR. ACU all damn near look the same, except AC1 had this different filter on it, Black Flag & Rogue look the same, Ac3 was a different setting no doubt, too bad it sucked. So tell me about that diversity again lol
Edit: i think you guys are being to literal, im talking about a complete scenery change, that a place like Egypt/Japan would provide

Effort and passion does not equal art. If it did, a hell lot more of us would be artists.
Bets on how many times she'll have to seduce someone in her 25% of the missions?

When are you not an artist? Is this a gamer/non-gamer type deal?
So this is the second Assassin's Creed with a female protagonist. Third if you consider the remaster, nice.
I want to play as Jack the Ripper
4th if you count China.
Oh the irony of this post, you're not even capable of noticing that there is a counter system in the game.
I guess it's easier to say fuck Ubi then actually play the game.
Genuinely makes me interested in a new Assassin's Creed. The series is stale and even just having multiple protagonists is enough to differentiate it from *yet another Assassin's Creed game.*
Ubisoft has no interest at releasing ugly screenshots from a prototype and confirming an insistant rumor, breaking their marketing schedule before it began (AC Unity last year) or seeing the next AC revealed 3 weeks after the previous one launched and 6 months before the beginning of the annual media schedule especially if this is to change the name for the reveal, confusing lots of people. It broke both times the teasing they liked to do. Keeping the same media for the reveal is, as you said, a bad idea. So there's little chance that it is made at purpose by the marketing.
So they ruined reveal for second time just for clicks. Disgusting.
They're a news site it's kind of their job.
Someone not wanting to play as a particular gender is an "idiot sexist"? What a terrible spin and a garbage statement.Their target audience is "idiot sexists"? That seems like a bad way to go.
Sometimes little respect for devs who worked for years on this (i don't care about PR department) would be nice.
I totally agree with you, I'm not at all saying that "omg those leaks are intentional it's all viral people". I think it's a stupid line of thinking for the reasons you outlined.
However, people from the worldwide marketing teams, third parties (other companies making external marketing assets), retailers, etc are often seen as responsible for leaks, because more often than not they're not industry enthusiasts and don't really know/care the impact a leak can have on "the internets", and they just find it fun to hear at work "what the next assassin is". See : the guy leaking ACU to a random guy on a plane who didn't even ask for it. Clearly this wasn't a well orchestrated viral plan, just a clueless dude in a suit who was too proud to be "in the know" and likely didn't think that people talk about this stuff afterwards.
As opposed to that, people actually making the game in the dev team are "supposedly" more in the know, and/or want their work to get a proper reveal, with a cool trailer, some surprises, and a badass e3 showing, so they're less likely to leak.
But to be honest, this is just stereotype on my end. Maybe kotaku is laughing at me as the creative director HIMSELF sends them all those leaks in an uncontrolled fit of self-destructive rage.
Or maybe in such big teams (800+ people ?) over so many studios, maybe you get some people who are "part of the game" but simply don't feel like they belong enough, like they contribute enough, to feel "part of the team" and thus don't give a crap and leak big things.
I'm not sure at all, but I'd be really curious to know where all these come from, because those leaks really are on an unprecedented level even for Ubi and even for AC.
Kotaku said:A subsequent statement from Ubisoft noted that we recognize the valid concern around diversity in video game narrative, and pointed to the diversityin terms of gender and ethnicityof past Creed protagonists.
Sounds like pandering to the backlash they themselves instigated. While I'm all for diversity, I'm not fond of forcing certain profiles for the sake of because a bunch of angry consumers demand for it.

Oh I see. It is actually the complete opposite from my experience. Then again, mine is film industry in a country with probably different cultural values, anyway. That, and different people are different.

I don't care at all if the main character is male or female, black or white...
I'm instantly turned off by character switching though
I do know what you mean - AC has enough issues with character development anyway, that trying to do two and switching back and forth doesn't sound great. But I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now and see how it goes, even if it does just seem like a kneejerk reaction addition to an already planned game.
