I would THINK I'd be interested in this. Depends how it played I suppose. Traditional MMO wouldn't suit it at all.

Feckles4488d ago

Interested if this is coming to console and was designed specifically for console.

DC Universe fails because it's designed to work on both console and PC.

Who cares...

I need AC3 with a new engine!

Snookies124488d ago

Yes, this! Please for the love of god, emphasis on the NEW ENGINE! Love the way AC plays, but it's so damn glitchy. You're not supposed to see guards spawn right in front of you lol!

koehler834488d ago

I honestly believe Ubi has been milking the Ezio story line as an interim solution for the delay of next-gen hardware.

I'm willing to bet that we won't see anything regarding AC3 until we hear from the platform holders. Ubisoft have been particularly vocal about wanting new hardware.

Nate-Dog4488d ago

Ubisoft said a while ago that they are planning to release ACIII next year, and afterwards they will be taking at least 2 year gaps between future AC titles. I wish they would wait but it clearly isn't going to happen.

Baka-akaB4488d ago

Precisely , the old formula along with the engine is tiring itself , however still great if might be . And they wont invest in a new engine right now in a near transitional phase , unless they can scale it down and reuse it later on new consoles .

Dumont was accused of harassment in 2020, allegedly verbally abusing and making sexual advances toward his colleagues, particularly women and new starters.

How come he’s still there leading a project if he got accused of all that

Ubisoft are busy putting a diversity plan in place and yet don’t address the actual problems

VenomUK584d ago

My Spider-sense is tingling. Of all the credible places he/she could’ve gone to why would a worker choose to speak to a no-name hack on a no-name blog? Bad actors want to maintain negative narratives that get them clicks.

Oof and there goes the hopes of a decent japan AC game...

Chocoburger583d ago

If its anything similar to Origins and Odyssey, then there was never any hope in the first place.

Hofstaderman584d ago

Why don’t they use the lead director for origins, the first one before he was replaced? Oh wait….

XxINFERNUSxX584d ago

Women should carry pepper spray, then use it if shit bags like this harass them. I can guarantee they won't do it again. 😁
