C'mon Ubi, give us what we want.
I'd stab her with my dagger.

Assassin's Creed Unity E3 marketing art has four equally placed assassins (co-op?)

What about co-op trailing missions? If one player fail you need to restart the entire sequence over!

It should just say, "Take a break, you earned it buddy. Come back in 90 minutes."
I'd be really surprised if they didn't make her a character in the game.
I don't think anyone would be happy with assassinating Adewale.
Ade is an Assassin, which would make the player the games bad guy?
Co-op could be fun. It'd let you plan for large takedowns with a friend... Not that you can't just parry infinitely and kill everyone in those games by yourself, anyway. Also, please no Gods / AI's. Please no present / near-future. Please give Connor a personality if he does return (which I'd rather he didn't).

I dont want full campaign co op but if they have a separate mode then sure.
But if its milti-characters like GTAV then that might actually be really cool and be a good way for Ubisoft to get around the problems they have with character personalities.
They can have a stoic. wise character like AC1, a young, brash rouge-ish dude out for revenge like AC2, a plank of wood like 3, a dude who just found a assassins robes in a bin and went with it like AC4 and a girl just to change things up and be all progressive and stuff!

But they will sell the girl as DLC

Maybe they're doing a Three Musketeers type story where the player is the d'Artagnan of the assassins.
In future soldier they did, full main campaign co-op. Game had its flaws here and there but was rather fun, though there was no public matchmaking so probably not a lot of people got to experience it (I personnally only tried up to 2 players).
That's not the logo, dude. That's fanart.

Yeah. Pretty much nailed on, I'd imagine.

Well the subtitle is "Unity" so, yeah, it's probably fair to expect co-op.

Co-op would be cool if it was a multistage assassination. So a distraction, scoping out guard points, guiding you through buildings and what not

No. He is never coming back.
But how about a new generic modern day protagonist voiced by Troy Baker?
FOUR TIMES AS MANY TRAILING MISSIONS
If they're going to do four player coop, it should be in ACIV. Four pirate ships working together as a fleet. Oh god the joy.

Was she executed at the Place de la Révolution or at the site in the Unity teaser?
Yeah, and they can spend several games setting up a modern day finale only to fuck it all up and give him a horrible ending and another shitty cliffhanger.
Yes, I am still salty about it.

4 player co-op tailing missions where one player can fail it for everybody
Doesn't that sound like the best

Oh man. Yeah that stuff got real bad. One of these games they are going to try and pick that modern day story back up again for real and its going to be fun to see how they handle that mess because boy is it a mess.
But I still like to think Watch Dogs was originally planned as that 100% modern day AC game we all thought we wanted back when AC1 was still fresh.
Resident Evil, I think. And I hated it.

This is what fans get when Ubi listens to feedback to appease the vocal minority who will only get louder, smearing more shit. They didn't like Desmond so Ubi axed him. They didn't like the modern day plot so Ubi stripped it down. They didn't like Connor/AC3/their vision so Ubi gave us a one dimensional, one tone side-quel and attached a number to it to separate it from 3. And all the detractors didn't latch on to it, they just mocked it further for handling it all so poorly.
Yes, I am also salty about all of it.
Just give us a crouch button and expanded social stealth options, Ubi. I want my crouching assassin in a pro-templar zone to raise caution as people stop and stare or call for guards while civilians help me stay hidden in anti-templar zones.
Because if I can't have the story I want, I better get the gameplay I want.
This. Have some missions where people have their own seperate roles. Somebody has to set up an elaborate distraction elsewhere in the city (to keep further guards from coming if something goes wrong, I dunno), somebody else has to scout out the area beforehand whilst another has to find a lone guard, kill him, take his outfit and then blend themselves in with an incoming group of guards who are heading towards the assassination area. Don't know what the fourth person would do, maybe take out rooftop guards? I didn't think this through too much lol. Either way, it could be done really well if Ubisoft put some thought into it.
God damnit I would love co-op in AC. Proper co-op.

Hey, thanks for linking my news post, Niro! =)
And yes, four-player narrative co-op will be a part of AC: Unity. Not sure which presser it will be revealed, though.
Yes, she was executed at the Place de la Révolution. The site in the Unity teaser wasn't use for execution.

If they had that execution scene for her, with those crowd mechanics seen in the alpha footage... MY GOD.

Could attempt to assassinate/save this guy Collot, or help Cécile Renault attempt to kill Robespierre?
Or help save Madame Tussaud from the guillotine. So many possibilities.
That would be cool too! That first person view in the modern world segments is powerful boring.

You're telling me something that is boring can be powerful?! Wow! I had no idea. /s

Don't blame you, that was my jumping off point for my love of the series.
Then AC4 added further insult by basically saying, "we don't care about the story anymore! We're not even going to try."
AC3's ending was my Mass Effect 3 moment >_>

Better be Split Screen if true.
if something can be extremely boring, then it can be powerful boring. *you just got learned*.

Joking aside, co-op in Assassins Creed sounds awesome. Could be really cool, if done properly.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I talk to Darby Mcdevitt quite often. And to say that he didn't try with the story is very false. The templars my not have had any depth compared to AC3 but it was more about the Edward Kenway in AC4. Who has just as many character flaws as Connor.
