Assassin’s Creed: Unity won’t have Competitive Multiplayer, just Co-Op

When Unity, the new Assassin's Creed game that releases this year, was presented at Microsoft's E3 conference the main focus was on the game's newly introduced 4 player co-op mode. It seems this will be the only online component the game will have when it releases.

Good, coop > multiplayer in this case 100%.

Ares84HU3606d ago

I've been saying this for the longest time. I think a good co-op will work better with AC than the competitive MP previous titles had.

Some games just don't need competitive mp.

SoulWarrior3606d ago

I think I agree with one of your posts Nick for the first time ever.

kneon3606d ago

I find you get a lot fewer dickheads in coop than you do in competitive multiplayer

seanpitt233605d ago

So happy all the ACs competitive multiplayer sucked in my opinion.

I really like the AC multiplayer but new is good. I have been dreaming of drop in drop out co op for this series for years!

wannabe gamer3606d ago

kind of a slap in the face to all the people that embraced their multiplayer over the years/past 4 games....

Simco8763605d ago

It's a change of the formula. If you want the same keep Black Flag, but I understand the thought process. They don't want their MP to turn into a rehash every year like CoD.

wannabe gamer3605d ago

kinda figured they would use the first real next gen edition of the series to showcase all gameplay types. co-op and MP alike, but oh well. im not invested in it i was just surprised to see the change. truth be told im still way behind in the series and the more games they release the less i want to play catch up.

pecorre3606d ago

After watching the gameplay videos, I'd rather have co-op instead of the traditional MP. MP in AC always felt the same game after game.

Darth_Yoda3606d ago

Result = even better sp ?
I hope since the mp of ac games always felt kinda out of place to me. That co-op looked good i just want to see bigger teamwork.

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

andy8542d ago (Edited 42d ago )

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

Five small but brilliant maps in games

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

Furesis520d 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.

DarXyde520d 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.

YourMommySpoils520d ago

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

Knightofelemia521d 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.

RaidenBlack520d ago

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

ToddlerBrain520d 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.

staticall520d 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.

anast520d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
