Brian Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Of ideas! Ubisoft plans to increase the number of Assassin’s Creed developers by 40% | VGC WWW.VIDEOGAMESCHRONICLE.COM The company has at least six new entries in the long-running series in development… 6 assassin creed games in development. 40% increase in headcount. It really does feel like Ubisoft is down to one large IP. Maybe Skull & Bones can save them 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Eventually each and every one of us will be working on Assassin's Creed. Hell, we're probably working on it already and simply aren't aware of it! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 The last 3 AC games were all great. And, since it's been 2.5 years since they released one.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I guess if games take 6 years to make now that makes sense to have 6 in the pipeline if they want to go back to yearly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Ever since the reboot, I've been a fan. As long as I'm not getting a yearly entry, and the quality continues at the current pace, I will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterryu Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hard to disagree with the OP. Pretty much all Ubi games are the same: Big open maps that act as a checklist and usually get boring way before their narrative wraps up... Far Cry 3 created the mold and was the last truly good Far Cry game. AC rebooted itself and is the same game re-skinned since origins. Watch Dogs hasn't ever really been good. Their 1 unique(ish) game has been Fenyx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Ubisoft seem like they need to buy a few mid-tier developers, resource them a bit more, and build a more diverse team/portfolio. I know they were no where near as consistent, but I do vaguely miss the Ubisoft from about 1995 - 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I’m fine with AC continuing to sprawl but they need to bring back the mechanic from Bro where I can cultivate a squad of assassins who will magically leap from rooftops and out of shrubs to merc people when I snap my fingers as I slowly pimp walk down the street.

Keyser_Soze Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Actually @Commissar SFLUFAN get Yves Guillemont on the phone I just came up for an idea for an Assassin's Creed game. Check this out: In this Assassin's Creed, the assassin stuff happens in a very distant future, think space and different planets and stuff (you know to kill the space pope) BUT (this is the twist) Somehow all of the Animus stuff takes place in the PAST! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, more crappy remakes of Tony Hawk. Or, perhaps Guitar Hero, Cabela's Hunting or Skylanders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French AC Youtuber gives a ton of leak on AC Mirage (map, combat, assassination, progression) and says it releases OCT 12 (maximum pushed to November) Rumor | ResetEra WWW.RESETERA.COM Credit to reddit for this. Seems someone broke embargo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buS97fWv6GE -Estimated release date is october 12 -The game... Rumor is that feature might be back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really tried to like Far Cry 6, but didn't find story or characters to pull me in... which is why the same gameplay loop since FC3 got boring for me and I ended up quitting. As for AC, I played and liked all of them... but with each one I was ready to be done with before the stories finished because they just got a little too repetitive.

The story and characters were part of the reason why I enjoyed Far Cry 6 so much, they were a lot better than the stories and characters in Far Cry 4, 5 and New Dawn IMO. Playing as silent protagonists in Far Cry 5 and New Dawn really hurt the immersion factor in those games for me, I hate playing as silent protagonists in games. As for the latest Assassin’s Creed games I somewhat agree with you when it comes to Origins and Valhalla, but not Odyssey. I could play that game forever, I absolutely love Kassandra and the adventures that she goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could play that game forever, I absolutely love Kassandra and the adventures that she goes on. For the first part, I kind of feel like they are the same game play loop (across several genre's)... big open map with lots of things to collect. Scattered "strongholds" for you to take down and claim territory, specific NPCs with quests in each area... one of which will betray you at some point, wrapping up with one "charismatic" bad guy that everyone teams up to bring down at the end. FC3 was the best of the FCs for me. It had characters that found a way to make you care about them. They were your characters friends, not random people your character gets to know and become trusted buddies with the second they meet (basically why FC4-6 feel hollow to me). It's the only thing that didn't feel like it was trying to copy something going on in pop culture. Odyssey and Valhalla were close for me. The #1 thing that turned me off on Odyssey is the quest design that seemed to want to send me as far away as possible and make me steer a ship for 15-20 minutes at a time if I wasn't fortunate enough the have a fast travel unlocked.

thedarkstark Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Fenyx rising was an obvious BotW rip off but it was a very fun game, wish they'd make more of those. They also should've stuck with the original title (Gods & Monsters iirc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
