Next Assassin’s Creed To Be Revealed

Along with the Sony announcement this week, Ubisoft has some news of their very own. It seems the recent rumors involving their newest title are also true.

ironfist924072d ago

Interesting. Hoping they develop it for PS4, the series needs a break this gen

Cam9774072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

Ps4? I bet it is. I'm really getting bored of the series now and still need to finish ac3.

Root4072d ago

I need to but I just can't bring myself to do it

Connor is so....boring and unlikable and the story is bland unlike past AC games

Cam9774072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

You're in the same boat as me. I platinumed every AC game on my PS3 including the insanely hard AC:B multiplayer trophies; however, AC3 is the exception.

Connor replies with bland, boring lines and his voice is so wooden. I don't want to get AC3's Platinum trophy, not because it's hard, but because the game is so damn boring. I think the next AC is the first in the series I will miss out on.

In addition, Connor looks silly. He must've been in his mid 30's at the point I'm at in the game yet he looks about 50 and if he IS 50 years old and I'm disgustingly mistaken then that is ridiculous. A 50 year old climbing buildings and free running? Sigh...

Another area in AC3 I hate (probably the source of my Harris toward this game) is how the game plays itself. That's right, it's basically "PRESS R1 & GO!" Why they simplified the control scheme is beyond me. Not only did they cut out features in doing so, but they also made a boring tech demo.

Moreover,

Can you tell I don't like it? I'm sorry if I went on a bit but it's all true. Oh, also, don't get me started on AC3:L on the Vita, that marked the last time I support Ubisoft for selling me a broken game in nothing more than beta form. What a joke it is to see they getaway with this. I contacted Ubisoft support but they replied once with a laughable response TWICE and now they're ignoring me. I demanded a refund so now I've resorted to Amazon, the shop where I bought the game from.

starchild4072d ago

No way! Connor is awesome. So is the game.

Says the guy who's name is star child... The only being that single handedly destroyed mass effect

Irishguy954072d ago

Almost all AC's were boring, 2 is the exception. It seems alot of people can take repetition more than me

bronxsta4072d ago

WW2 London? Could be cool, but the setting doesn't seem to have any definite enemies. London never got invaded or anything like that

Personally, I would prefer 1800s London.

how long can you milk a cow for

BanBrother4072d ago

"how long can you milk a cow for"

Well, they only produce milk after giving birth. They usually 'dry up' at around 300 days afterwards. They are then usually 'bred' again, which takes about another 6 months until they give birth again, and so the cycle repeats. Dairy cows usually live approximately 7-9 years in a human controlled environment. Without human interference, maybe 15 years.

;)

haggishurler4072d ago

I agree it has been milked, the brotherhood and revelations games have made the series feel dragged out.

However I am invested in the story and it is one of few AAA sequels I will be picking up for the story. I want another game but not another clone.

shackdaddy4072d ago

I can't see combat working at all in WWII London....

Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.
https://www.theverge.com/20...

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.

jznrpg18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.

Funny how all the clickhate was trying to spin that it was "struggling" to reach these very numbers.

Jin_Sakai47d ago

They have less than 1 million players but some people are playing 4 hours a day. That’s your record engagement.

thorstein47d ago

😢 😭 people are playing a game I hate and having fun. Why aren't they hating the game as much as I do?

GamerRN47d ago

It's an absolutely terrible game....

boing147d ago

I don't believe it one bit. Second highest to what? Any numbers?

ChasterMies47d ago

“Ubisoft announced that ‘Skull and Bones’ boasts over four hours of average daily playtime.”

So the few people playing it are spending a lot of time playing it. But there aren’t enough whales to feed this fleet. This game will die like so many other live service money grabs that came before it.

anast47d ago

This includes free trials.

shinoff218347d ago

I've read that same thing. Ifbtruebits not really impressive. Also maybe I missed it but I didn't catch any numbers in the article. Lastly what I did read felt more like an advertisement as if the site mightve caught a couple dollars from the publisher.

anast47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

People are saying it's around 850k across all platforms and free trials. To put it into perspective Helldivers 2 has around 360k 24hr peak on Steam and another 300k at least on PS5, and no free trials.

Aloymetal47d ago

Most likely. I tried the demo on PS5 and it looks so blurry I was shocked, crappy graphics. I thought for a minute I was playing the wrong version (PS4) but then again most games on PS4 look a 1000x better than this not to mention it's a grinding galore. F that.
