Lets just a new character for everyone who complains.

imXify3549d ago (Edited 3549d ago )

Yeah cause it takes less than two months to draw, 3D model, voice and animate a female assassin. Everything is planned waaay before.

die_fiend3549d ago

You know how big the AC teams are? They didn't exclude a female character so they could get berated by fans claiming sexis, only to have it in the pipeline.

You're one of those 'Everything is a conspiracy' people aren't you...

imXify3549d ago

When they present a game at E3 to launch it the same year in the holiday, most likely they are already done with everything and are doing polishing and game testing.

vishmarx3549d ago

gameplay wise there isnt a single thing that interests me

camel_toad3549d ago

I think Assassin's Creed as a whole is a great concept and I have fun in general but it always feels like its just not as good as it could be. I really think they need some of the gameplay directors or programmers replaced with some fresh talent.

iamnsuperman3549d ago

@camel_toad

I feel that is because the AC developers never focus on what AC should be and instead are intent of filling the world with more guff. Some of the guff is good but it should not be the focus. For a start stealth mechanics and mission structure need an overhaul. The latter in particular. After X amount (since AC2)of games the missions structure has not changed. It is the same types over and over again and it is getting a bit boring.

ironfist923548d ago

TBH, I people like AC more for its story, setting and characters rather than its gameplay. The gameplay, while nothing special, works for furthering the story.

There were female assassins in Brotherhood years ago. Why doesn't anybody else remember this ?

ironfist923548d ago

Gamers have ADHD.

Its the only conclusion I have come up with, unfortunately.

n4rc3549d ago

I'll be honestly pissed at ubisoft if they added a female assassin because of a bunch of whiners.. So much for artistic integrity huh?

I'm gonna start a petition for all future tomb raider games to feature a male lead.. And Nathan drake needs to be black and master chief had damn well better be gay!

Lol.. Cmon!!!

ironfist923548d ago

I honestly dont think t was added post-controversy.

Ive been watching behind the scenes footage of the game, and they clearly show the voice acting, modelling and in-game cut scenes of her, which shows she was developed long ago and is an integral part of the story, not something added just last week.

Perhaps they tailor made this specific trailer to appease those who moronically assume Ubisoft sexist, but Elise surely is a developed character (which wouldnt be the case if she was added recently, then we have articles like "AC female is not as developed as her male counterparts, Ubisoft are sexist!"

SpiralTear3549d ago

For everyone who's chewing out Ubisoft on the female assassin thing, it's just another story character, not a playable one. Skip to 5:58 and they detail her character.

Vantage3549d ago

I've been exposed as not having watched the video, how embarrass for poor Vantage.

n4rc3549d ago

Ahh.. Didn't watch long enough

That's cool.. Gotta love headlines lol

DFogz3549d ago

Not a fan of the new eagle vision and being able to see through walls. Preferred it to just highlight what was visible.
Also don't like all the icons all over the place, but past AC games were pretty good at allowing you to turn those on/off so I hope this one follows that trend.
Otherwise, it looks like it's shaping up to be the best AC so far.

Chii0819943549d ago

hahaha its like giving candy to the whining babies... im not being sexist but why does Ubisoft have to ruin their artistic integrity for some whiners.. i mean,the dev want to create the game for what they think is right, having no female lead doesn't mean they spit on females..

how i wish i can comeback to the old days where nba video games have female characters....oh wait,there are no female characters in NBA games uptil now, LETS START A RIOT!!

DFogz3549d ago

Did you watch the video?
There's still no female lead, and the "lady assassin" isn't playable. This is a character that has been planned from the beginning as part of Arno's story.

Chii0819943549d ago

Yeah bro i watched it, hehe i was referring to those who whine about not having female playable characters =)

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8533d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis511d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde511d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils511d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia512d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack512d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain511d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall511d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast511d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
