"Breathing fresh air into the Assassin’s Creed series is what Ubisoft needs to do to keep the series original, because eventually, sticking yet more daggers into the backs of even more Loyalist Lobsters is going to grate on us. That’s likely the reason why they’ve recently put out a survey asking players for their thoughts.
But this isn’t your average run of the mill ‘did getting blasted to smithereens by a Man O’ War in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag make you cry like a wimp or spur you on?’ as Ubi’s suggested changes could be completely mind blowing or utterly disastrous for the series. Having taken the survey, I’ve rounded up the juiciest bits of info from it, which you can read about here."
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Prototype footage from several of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed titles has leaked, revealing early stages of their development.
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
"1. Was There Too Much Naval/Land Gameplay?"
For an Assassins Creed game...yeah
"2. Did The Pirate Theme Fit The Game?"
Nope...Assassin - Pirate, they couldn't be different
"Would The Pirate Theme Work as Standalone Gameplay? Would You Be Interested in Playing a Pirate Game?"
It would have to be seperate from Assassins Creed and worked into a new IP, with no AC ties to it.
"4. Was Assassin’s Creed as Open World as GTA V and Skyrim?"
Not really, the sea pretty much was half the map.
"5. Did You Like Charles Vane and James Kidd"
Yup
"6. Tablet and Smartphone Apps"
Hell No
"7. Multiple Historical Figures"
I wouldn't go overboard with it
"8. Customisable Hero"
Just have to expand on the stuff we have now, I would like to choose my own colours for the Assassins Robes instead of pre sets. Oh and maybe even the smaller things like the handles to a sword or the designs on a gun for example.
"9. Adewale and Aveline"
To be honest, since we've had Liberation and Freedom Cry I rather they focus on other characters.
What about Anne Bonny, I'm guessing she could be trained as an Assassin.
What they should be considering is how they can make the free running flow better like Sleeping Dogs or even Splinter Cell Blacklist. They should also be looking in to changing up their combat for the next iteration because it doesn't challenge me at all and can get repetitive while also defeating the point of being a stealthy assassin. Why sneak when you're practically a tank. Oh and get rid of all of the trailing missions please.
I loved it.
I just want a wild west Assassin's Creed
No more eavesdropping and tailing missions, and I'm good.
And that Kenway's Fleet thing felt more like work than fun.
