Ubisoft confirms second Assassin's Creed (360/PS3) out this Fall
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Perhaps more haytham like in the ezio trilogy? I could see it happening, 4 was very well received.
I enjoyed 4 greatly but I won't be going back to the series until major combat and stealth overhauls are made. 4 somehow had worse combat than 3! It felt like everyone was playing with air swords than fighting with real swords.

Uh what does this even mean?
Them splitting the game into this gen and last gen is a good idea.

I feel the same way. Everyone bitched about Desmond but without him the present day stuff feels just incredibly boring (even more so). At least as Desmond you could listen to the crews banter (Shaun especially was great) or explore areas and the main missions such as infiltrating Abstergo as Desmond was actually pretty cool.
Even the side effects of the Animus were interesting to watch as Desmond felt a little crazier each time he got out of the Animus.
But nope, Ubisoft decided to drop it all and give us a faceless dude to run around and hack computers with.
They should either do something more interesting with the present day stuff or just get rid of them completely.
At this point I'm beginning to think there are people who just read "Ubisoft" or "Assassin's Creed" in the thread's title and then some sort of involuntary reflex kicks in, causing them to post some damning comment about the current state of both the developer and the franchise.
It's not unheard of, up until recently many people suffered from a similar condition pertaining to the trigger words "Blizzard" and "Diablo 3".

Hope this one gets ported to PC as well, i'd buy both.
Different strokes.
I think the assassins creed games are superior open world games than mostly anything rockstar has put out. I don't like games that a lot of people love, but I don't go into threads, call the game shit and leave.
Its harder and harder to find any enthusiasm for anything anymore because people just constantly shit on things.
Just let the people who enjoy the games enjoy them.

People are acting like this hasn't happened before. At Ubisoft.
Splinter Cell Double Agent on 360, PS3, and PC was a different game from the PS2, Xbox, and GC versions. This is just that same idea taken to its logical endpoint: if it's a different game, why not have a completely different story?

I know folks like to criticize Ubisoft for milking franchises, and maybe they deserve it, but when it comes down to it I'm actually impressed they are able to produce as much content as they do. It's not like these games are "bad". They may not be your cup of tea, or it is perhaps too much of the same thing, but you don't have to buy it.
A huge company like that could easily gum up under its own weight, but they keep pushing tons of AAA titles each year. I'm seriously impressed with their organization.

If it's set in 1758, Halley's Comet (probably the only comet that just about everyone can name) appeared in the sky right around then.

Yep, I'm sad to see what it has become.
And I've said it before, I think this is a ridiculous move akin to Activision releasing multiple guitar hero games a year. I think you'll only do brand damage here.
And yet far cry 4 is cross gen? Bloody crazy.

There goes Ubisoft support on Wii U then
On the bright side we'll keep getting great 2D Rayman platformers...maybe...

haaaaaaahahahahaha oh my god
that's gold jerry. my sides
but I mean I'm sure they'll be pretty games which going by the last few months of Watch_Dogs and Assassin's Creed thread is solely what justifies dropping money on games anyway

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I still own those old trash consoles (and PS4 and PC) and I still agree with you 100%.
Man AC3 may have been a misstep but AC4 was the fucking bomb. I played the hell out of that game. As for this year, I think I'll just be picking up the PS4 version.
I haven't played a Ubisoft game that I didn't like in a very long time. Driver: San Fran, Blacklist, Far Cry 3, Child of Light, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Rayman etc. are all truly great games. Ubisoft may pump out title after title, but they have almost ten thousand people working for them, and can pump out the games without sacrificing quality. It's not even like they aren't taking risks or investing in games that may not sell gangbusters like AC. I really do think that Ubisoft is the best of the mega publishers, when compared to EA and Activision, and I will continue to buy their games as long as they maintain the levels of fun that they've provided for years.

And it sucked because the PS2/Xbox/GC versions were better than their next gen counterparts! Not to say next gen Double Agent was bad, but the current gen version was the best.
Edit: damn sorry for DP, meant to edit.

Yeah and that was what 7 years ago? I thought we were past stupid shit like this. It was a dumb idea then and it's even dumber now.
Let's not forget watch dogs 6 months prior, it's practically an AC game in all but name anyway >_>

cool, will buy both. I bought the CE of AC3 and the vita liberation bundle in the same day...nothing will stop me from playing this franchise. I seriously love these games, have 100% every game

Great news. Current version isn't gimped because of last-gen and last-gen-only owners who like the franchise don't get left behind. And if you don't care about the franchise, you can keep on not caring about it one way or the other.

It means that I... no, you know what, I'm not explaining it. Figure it out.
Thats the plan if it doesn't sell well. And it probably won't TBH.

Ubisoft gave it enough support but clearly the audience isn't there.

I'm ok with this. I'd rather have this 2 games than yet another cross-gen game.
It will come down the road. We all know it.

Well i have to buy both games then. Hope comet is as good as Blackflag was.
Milking the series fucking dry. I jumped into AC4 at my friends house and it was the exact same broken stealth game as 3 was. I think Ubisoft is trying way to hard to push this series. I was actually interested in Unity, now I think it's just going to be the same game just with better graphics.
AC Unity Crossgen: "Urgh Ubisoft let it go already, the old consoles are just holding the game back"
AC Unity Current Gen only with AC Comet being there for the old consoles: "Urgh Ubisoft, 2 games? You greedy sacks of shit"
AC Unity Current Gen, without anything for last gen "Urgh Ubisoft, why are you forgetting last gen? Hello - we exist!"

This... but of all Options the 2-Game-approach is the best imo. Lets dream and think both games are as good as or better than Black Flag. Who would complain if there is one more good game to play come fall?
They pretty much stopped trying to do anything stealth related around Brotherhood. Missions where you pickpocket/tail/avoid detection are just an old shame that each game is obligated to include for whatever reason.
Ubisoft released the Vita Assassin's Creed game on PC, I imagine this one will come to PC eventually, but probably like the Vita game it wont be there day one.
Urgh, as much as I love Black Flag no way am I ready for another one of these. I think one of the reasons I liked Black Flag so much (aside from it being awesome) was because I completely skipped 3 and Revelations. I was more than happy to embrace a new AC to christen my new PS4.

I eagerly await the current gen port of the last gen version. I bet that'll be out before March 2015.
