Honestly I think both Assassin's Creed Rogue & Far Cry 4 are getting delayed. I don't think Ubisoft is really that stupid to release two AAA Assassin's Creed games on the same day along with Far Cry 4 the week after.

Best case scenario: Far Cry 4 gets delayed into January where the only competition is Dying Light. Assassin's Creed Rogue gets retooled for next gen consoles only or released as a cross gen game.

Adexus3909d ago

Unity and Rogue are going to sell no matter what's released and Far Cry 4 will still sell really well, I think if they were to delay one game it would be The Crew.

poppinslops3909d ago (Edited 3909d ago )

They just did... Again!
Now it releases on Dec 2nd.

O.T- Nice to hear Ubi's giving this one a proper polish...
No doubt it'll still have a Day#1 Patch, but C'est la vie...

This game is gonna be GREAT.

WeAreLegion3909d ago

That's what I've been saying. It's just too crowded. There's no way that's happening!

GTA V release january 2015

Adexus3909d ago

November 18th for Xbox One and PS4, January for PC :)

MrSwankSinatra3909d ago (Edited 3909d ago )

Look at the competition Far Cry has for November:

Call of Duty: Advance Warfare
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Grand Theft Auto V
Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U
Dragon Age: Inquisition
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor
WWE 2K15
LittleBigPlanet 3
Project CARS

Now compare to January:

Grand Theft Auto V
Saint's Row IV: Re-Elected
Dying Light

If Ubisoft is smart they delay Far Cry 4 until January.

uptownsoul3909d ago

@MrSwankSinatra 2 Assassin's Creed games in November but Ubisoft should delay Far Cry 4?

Adexus3909d ago

@poppinslops

Oh yeah! Makes sense to delay that because Far Cry 4 looked finished even when it was announced.

Legion213909d ago

I think everyone is expecting some kind of delay for Far Cry 4. But the two AC's won't be taking sales away from each other. Anyone with a next gen console/PC is getting unity. Anyone with an old console will get rogue or wait till they get a new console for Christmas. If any of the AC's get delayed its gonna be rogue.

Just stay the heck away from GTA V! Call it what you want as to why its delayed... lol

Grap3909d ago

GTAV won't sell like it did last year. don't expect a record i think 3 Million across all next gen.

KnownAsEpic3909d ago

Don't you dare delaying Far Cry 4!

Agent_hitman3909d ago (Edited 3909d ago )

Let's change the title of this article:

"Ubisoft is using Assassin's Creed Unity's delay to wait for Microsoft's million dollar check as a promise" s/

Revengeance3909d ago

They'll delay Far Cry 4 and put it at 900p as well for parity. Ubisoft apparently wants to dig a deeper grave.

KarmaV123909d ago

They are trying to level it out. You have to see it from their point of view.

RG_Dubz3909d ago

You're being moronic, you have to see it from our point of view.

KarmaV123909d ago

I'm in school for game development, I see from their point of view.

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

andy85464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

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

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

Furesis943d 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.

DarXyde943d 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.

YourMommySpoils942d ago

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

Knightofelemia943d 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.

RaidenBlack943d ago

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

ToddlerBrain943d 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.

staticall943d 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.

anast943d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
