4 famous games that completely butchered history

Bárbara writes: "History-inspired games have been around for a while and I’m pretty sure every gamer has come across one or two in their lifetime. And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."

EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.

KyRo1437d ago (Edited 1437d ago )

I'm not sure what it was you played but it certainly weren't BF1. The campaign showing the different periods of the war through the eyes of different soldiers was a good way to show the harsh reality of a WW. Was it groundbreaking? No, but it was a good effort.

It also played nothing like SW and added a whole heap of things to the BF formula to simply be called a reskin.

Sciurus_vulgaris1437d ago

The “harsh reality” of WW1 was not shown by BF1. There is mission where the player is wearing tank-like armour that is repeatedly stated as being near impervious to damage. Metal armour existed in WW1, but was quickly abandoned as it wasn’t effective against bullets or explosives. Or the other reality breaking mission we’re you play as a man with superhuman speed....

BF1 streamed down the guns mechanics making all weapons easier to use. Classes were marginalized and team-play was stripped down. BF1 focused on chaotic gameplay with no emphasis on strategy, just like Battlefront. Reduced gun skill , again just like Battlefront.

So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.

Unknown_Gamer57941437d ago (Edited 1437d ago )

Indeed. Ezio actually died in ACII when he jumped off that tall building in Florence. If I recall correctly, that one was actually a cart with a pile of flower petals. Everything that happened after that was him in the afterlife envisioning where life would have taken him had he lived. Clearly the guy had a grim view on his future...

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "If Ubisoft plays its cards right, the Assassin's Creed remakes could achieve what Resident Evil 2 Remake did for Capcom."

AC1 Reimagining and AC2 Remakes first ... then Black Flag and others.

just_looken19d ago

It was talked about awhile back that the Singapore branch the ones that made skull bones are making a black flag remake. It has at that time 3 months of work put into it.

You believe something good would come from Ubisoft? Did you sleep the last 10-15 years?

just_looken19d ago

Right ubisoft has been on life support for awhile everyone of there ip's has had huge shift's in population/sales and fan base.

Right now its all about xdefient but that game is still fixing netcode issues 3 years in.

-Foxtrot20d ago

The only time they should be remaking the first game is when they are ready to reboot the series after a long break and want to get back to their roots. Start a new re-freshed timeline which they've convoluted.

just_looken19d ago

Though capcom has had sales for there re games lets not all forget the huge elephant in the room which is mod support.

The first resident evil remake was made by fans taken down by capcom then they stamped there logo on it after that mods came in made the replay factor way better than the original.

But when they made them all in house then came the cuts for the modern audience followed by re4 mt's then they went after the modders even in really old titles trying there best to crush mod support. Then you got the horrible drm crap pc port of village and that dumpster fire online re game.

So capcom has made money on remakes but after awhile there shine is not so bright

I hope ubisoft does not copy capcom as they would turn that dial from a 8 to a 11 add in there own mt's to older titles with time savers live service bs or worse black flag with stamina meter's.

MeteorPanda19d ago

don't you dare touch the first ac game. Your woke team would ruin it's charm

AndrewM19d ago

Woke has nothing to do with anything you fucking weirdo.

MeteorPanda18d ago

They wouldn't understand how to remake the first ac games, they'd ruin them with real life politics. Happy?

Multiple AC Remakes are on their way

fan_of_gaming28d ago

I'd like an Altair Collection, with Altaïr's Chronicles + Assassin's Creed + Bloodlines. I also wish Discovery would have been included in the Ezio Collection or offered as DLC for it.

Psychonaut8528d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Can’t imagine someone whose opinion I care to hear less. Unless it’s a “AAAA” interview, then that changes everything. /s

Demetrius28d ago

Damn I know we gone be waiting a while for those remakes, 😫 the classic ac games deserve, it would be dope if more devs did this, get the remembered gems closer to a technical level they pictured back then
