Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is the third home console entry in the acclaimed Assassin's Creed franchise. Still, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, Tony Key, says it isn't neccesary to play the previous games to enjoy this one. “It was designed to be a standalone product,” said Key. “You didn't have to know anything about Assassin's Creed I or II to enjoy it. There's a lot of content, and the single player is as deep as Assassin's Creed II's single player mode.”
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
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.
