Patrice Désilets, creator of the Assassin’s Creed series, hasn’t played a Ubisoft game since 2012

From GameWatcher: "Patrice Désilets, creator of the Assassin’s Creed series, has a rough history with Ubisoft. Désilets and Ubisoft’s time goes all the way back to 1997, the year Désilets first joined the company. After shipping several games, including the very successful Assassin’s Creed 2, Désilets was told his role as the creative lead on Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood was over, confirming his resignation. It shouldn’t be too surprising to find out Désilets hasn’t played a Ubisoft game since 2012."

He isn't missing much really. Since most AC games are similar and the same goes for the rest of their IP's. Beautiful worlds with very repititive structure.

Story is just lost now too.

DillyDilly2889d ago

Yeah wtf has Juno been up 2 since getting freed ?

poppinslops2889d ago

She's in the internet, right? I'm guessing she's become so riddled with online porn viruses that she's basically caught in a pop-up fueled nightmare... that or she's waiting for the Prince of Nigeria to wire her the money she needs in order to crash the stock-market.

ninsigma2889d ago

Well I'm still waiting on my wire transfer and I got in there first so she can wait!

poppinslops2889d ago

From the looks of that pitch build of 'Amsterdam 1666' - which basically looked like a supernatural AC - that design philosophy comes from Désilets... wierd that Ubi sold the IP back to him, after going to all that trouble to aquire it.

I wonder if he'll have another crack at it once he's done with 'Ancestors'? Also, what's going on with that game? It feels like it's been at least a year since it's reveal... Devs these days!

I also haven't played a Ubisoft title since 2012 with AC3.

Their games have fallen so far from their 6th gen masterpieces with the original Splinter Cell, Hitman Contracts, Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow, Ghost Recon 1 and Sunmit Strike, Deathrow , and Prince of Persia SoT.

poppinslops2889d ago

Hitman was from IO-Interactive, not Ubisoft... and yeah, AC3 was the last truly innovative AC game - though it did follow 'Revelations', which was by far the least-innovative entry.

Paytaa2889d ago

@poppinslops Ah yes you're correct about Hitman, it was just one of those games I played a lot with the Ubisoft games I mentioned so I grouped them together lol

And yeah, AC3 was awesome for me because of the Boston setting since I'm from there and I love the history of it even if it's a fictional story.

Haven't played AC since AC2. If I were to play one it'll have to be free or price down to $5.

Not like he's really missing anything significant.

TheColbertinator2889d ago

2012 was around the time Ubisoft stopped releasing quality games.

AC is horrendously stagnant and Red Storm Entertainment is nowhere to be found

Mikefizzled2889d ago

Red Storm are heading Ubisoft's VR ventures.

yeahokwhatever2889d ago

ubisoft has been making really, really shoddy games since before 2006.

Hoffmann2889d ago

I didnt play one since the 2nd last Rayman game.

Someone should write about this already.

fluxmulder2889d ago

If you've played one, you've played them all. They're all a variation of Ubisoft: The Open World Game.

It's the why we close servers after 2 years, why we re-use the same assets every year, and why we bundle our game with enjoyable microtransactions.

So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence
