Assassin's Creed III: Liberation has taken out the award for Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing at this year's Writers Guild of America ceremony. Richard Farrese and Jill Murray from Ubisoft wrote a story that surpassed the limitations of the PlayStation Vita to take home the handheld's first WGA gong.
KeenGamer: "Has a game ever pulled a complete 180 on you? Sometimes you find these twists in the most unlikely of places. One of these unlikely places is Assassin's Creed Liberation. During our playthrough of it, we were hit in the face with one of the best plot twists we've ever experienced."
Assassin's Creed III Remastered recently launched, updating the visuals and adding gameplay systems to the 2012 title. For those interested in the game's development, Ubisoft has published a detailed article explaining the development of both Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed III Liberation. Highlighting the challenges of building models for Connor's adventure and the creation of Aveline.
PS Vita's top selling games have been revealed and there might be a few games in the list you probably weren't expecting.
I'd love to see PS4 remasters of Uncharted the Golden Abyss and Persona 4 Golden, even if they're just given resolution boosts. It would bring these titles to a much wider audience and the emulated P4G in 4K looks phenomenal.
Also, the top ten list is mainly Vita exclusives which demonstrates that it wasn't ports the public wanted but exclusives.
Would it kill them to make games for the console? I mean clearly people bought a Vita for Sony type games on the go.
I would love Golden Abyss ported. It still stands completely in canon too. Really fleshed out Eddy Raja for Uncharted.
all AAA games, shocker, Sony dropped the ball with my poor vita, still liked alot of niche japanese titles on the handheld though.
As it should have, very good for a handheld game. Poor vita, the 'oh what could have been' machine
The list actually proves the point. 9 of the 10 games on this list were released in 2011-12, and Killzone was 2013. After that, crickets.
And the vast majority of the sales of those titles came years after the fact, over time.
The fact of the matter is, the Vita HAD AAA support. People back then just whined about these games not being on the PS3 as well, and declared they'd not buy a handheld for "one or two games".
Then ironically bought one for niche titles years after that support dried up.
"And the vast majority of the sales of those titles came years after the fact, over time."
Source please.
"The fact of the matter is, the Vita HAD AAA support."
And was then abandoned for 5 years. Good support.
That AAA support was two years only. After that (until today in fact) Sony rely on indies.
And that was the problem sony gave up on the vita way too soon
the story in Liberation was more interesting than AC3, the main console game was bigger but the story was boring, it would have bean more interesting if they kept the Grandmaster as the main charecter
Congrats Ubisoft!
AC III: Liberation was very special indeed for the Vita platform
Do I smell a Sequel Ubisoft?
Maybe this time you can remove the shitty Vita segments and make the game longer and more fleshed out without that game-breaking save file bug? :c
But like the article says, the story was indeed worthy of the title. Indeed a Vita title you must play if you have the chance.
