Unity's creative director, Alex Amancio, joined Gamereactor in Cologne to discuss first new-gen Assassin's Creed game.
You can read our Gamescom hands-on preview of the game here, and one of the things noted there is the open nature of the missions in Unity, with players able to explore alternate routes and different tactics, being more able to play the game the way they want to play. This was something we asked Amancio about during the interview.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
idk why but personally i liked rogue more than unity , the gameplay was shown yesterday was really really impressive , i regret selling my 360 -_-
0% interest in more cut and paste Assassins Creed games.
So now I will go off the main quest even more and never finish it. Just make the damned thing a full fledged RPG and let me customize my character more, and make the main quest more interesting so I will stay engaged instead of "I wonder whats over there, oh, just some more buildings I cannot enter". It gets boring pretty darned quick.And anyone else think the Labs/real world really don't add much? It's even more boring than the Animus.
