Sigh... once again ubisoft can't win.
Farcry 4 is announced as cross-gen: Most of the comments
Oh, not cross gen again. The game is going to be gimped.
Assassins creed decides to make one game unshackled from last gen, and one for those who haven't upgraded
Oh, ubisoft AC is everything wrong about videogames
They aren't going to abandon people who haven't upgraded to the new consoles.
Hell PS2 was supported 3-4 more years after PS3/360 launched.
This hate mongering on ubi is getting fucking old.
Developers do not want to waste money on games that do not sell. Harsh, but true.Quick somebody find the Wii U Window image.
I used to like this franchise.
AC4 was my last one. I'm done.

It will. One a month later than consoles and another one a month after that.
I just find the idea of two full length Assassin's Creed game released on the same day on the same platform to be rather humorous.
I doubt the PS3/X360 one will come to PC. We'll definitely be getting Unity though, that's for sure.It will. One a month later than consoles and another one a month after that.
PS2 sold a hundred million units at or around the time of the next generation by then, IIRC. It deserved to have some legs. It's why we have Persona 3, Persona 4, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3 etc...Sigh... once again ubisoft can't win.

They're trying to make fans of the franchise spend $120 (not including collector's edition tax, not including season passes) this year. How in the world would you twist that into a positive move?Sigh... once again ubisoft can't win.

I still never played Assassin's Creed 4. That might be the last one I play if I ever bother to buy it. At this pace, I guess I'm done with the franchise. Didn't like the annual releases and multiple a year is definitely not going to fly for me personally.

If the setting of the PS3/360 game ends up looking more appealing to people who already made the jump to the new generation, they're either going to end up disappointed having to go back to the old gen, or they're completely screwed because they already sold that console.
This isn't some unreasonable Ubisoft Hate Parade. The company made a very strange choice with this year's games and it only benefits a specific portion of their fanbase - casual enough to not want both games, and hopefully playing games on the platform their 2014's Ass Creed of choice was made for.
Maybe it looks like that because you're reading complaints from at least two groups of Ass Creed fans who may end up pretty darn bummed out around E3 time.
I played ACBF and it was fun. Not the main story with all the eavesdrop and escort missions, mind you, but the sailing and exploring. It's def worth a rent to see if you like it.

The thing that drives me nuts is that people don't realize how much choice they have. This isn't two groups of assassins creed fans. This is basically the neogaf community in general. When a game is announced as cross gen, the thread is typically filled with disappointment of it being cross gen, as they all state "oh the older consoles are holding games back" "they need to die". Go look at the farcry 4 thread. Its filled with comments like that.
So to counteract that, ubisoft decided rather than making the next game cross gen, and limiting their devs, they decided to instead let them make 2 games where one can be free from those limitations, and one to serve those who haven't upgraded. You have the choice to buy them both, buy one, etc. There is no gun pointed at your head forcing you to buy them.
I enjoy the assassins creed games, I buy them day 1. I will only be buying unity.
You have the choice to buy both, one, or none. I'm just tired of people coming into these threads, saying the games are shit solely due to the fact they are yearly releases, then leaving. Most of the spite comes from AC3 since it wasn't as good. and was overhyped. AC4 was quite good, and a lot of people who played it agree on that. But people just come in, shit on something and leave without giving it a fair shake, and that's what bugs me.
