Is AC: Unity’s failure a reason for the AC Movie delay until the end of 2016?

The Eccentric Gamer Writes: "he Assassins Creed movie has yet again been delayed, this time until 21 December 2016. After the horrible failure that was AC: Unity at launch, it might just have been delayed due to the franchises reputation being soiled.

Here are the details and why we think it might be due to AC: Unity's failure."

It very well might be the reason, restoring faith in a franchise before a movie is released is a good idea! Hopefully they can do this with Victory.

CptEccentric3423d ago

Might very well be, hopefully we will get some clarification on the issue soon!

Sillicur3423d ago

I dont think they will ever say why the delayed the movie, especially if it was for the reasons you stated

XBLSkull3423d ago

Actually from what I heard the movie is being shot in 900p and having frame rate issues already, though it is performing slightly better in some theatres over others.

-Foxtrot3423d ago

I don't see what's with the hype for this film...it's a video game film which is going to stray from the source material going by interviews. It's like "Michael Fassbender = Amazing Video film" to some people. I like the guy, great actor but it dosen't mean the film is going to be good.

There was nothing wrong with basing the film off the first game.

CptEccentric3423d ago

Definately agree with you, we dont know if the film is gonna be good or not, probably wont be just because video game films mostly fail.

However, do you think the delay could have been due to Unity's failure?

-Foxtrot3423d ago

Probably

I mean it's like they are stalling to see if they can repair the damaged reputation after Unity. If Victory doesn't do well then who knows they might just scrap the film.

I feel like Victory will only be good because this will of given them the push to actually put more effort into next years game. After they fix their reputation or most of it they'll probably go back to what they are like.

Whether it's a good game or not I want Victory to fail so they'll move on from Assassins Creed and do something else like a 3D Rayman game, Beyond Good and Evil 2 or maybe a 2008 Prince of Persia sequel.

Sillicur3423d ago

I am probably one of the only people who actually liked the doom movie haha!

All seriousness though, I think the movie might do well

SteamPowered3423d ago

Aw hells no. That may be the single best Video Game to movie adaptation ever, Ever.

SteamPowered3423d ago

I hold incredibly low expectations for any video game to movie adaptation. I doubt the quality of the game could ever drop my expectations lower.

ScorpiusX3423d ago

Don't see why they would delay it , it may borrow some elements of the game . Unless they think that it will be broken .

Nitrowolf23423d ago

Elements as in all the bugs and poor framerate? :)

skulz73423d ago

The movie was announced years ago and has had constant troubles in terms of getting the movie filmed. It's not because of Unity. If they were to delay anything because of Unity it would be Victory.

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

andy8568d ago (Edited 68d 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

Furesis547d 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.

DarXyde546d 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.

YourMommySpoils546d ago

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

Knightofelemia547d 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.

RaidenBlack547d ago

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

ToddlerBrain547d 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.

staticall546d 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.

anast546d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
