Assassin’s Creed Is Coming To Reverse: 1999

In an unusual pairing, Assassin’s Creed Is Coming To Reverse: 1999.

Seth_hun40d ago

What the hell is Reverse 1999? :)

goken39d ago

Apparently it’s some Gacha thingy…

Kekewei39d ago

Why is it listed as today's hottest, nobody cares about it here...

Servbot4139d ago

Ubisoft buying their way to the top. They always have the shittiest advertisement ideas, like flooding videos and comment sections with obvious bots.

Garethvk39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

I think it is more of a global appeal versus a U.S. market.

Garethvk39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Obviously they do or there would not be the hits on it. Even Google picked it up for their news feed.

The Open-World Genre In Gaming Has A Quantity Over Quality Problem

More developers need to focus on what makes open-world games like Elden Ring and RDR2 pop, instead of focusing on needless map expansions.

KyRo286d ago

Open world games need a overhaul in general.

Go here - kill this target
Go here - fetch this
Clear this camp
Add dozens of filler side quests
Tack on a RPG skill tree
Finish up with a couple of hundred collectables

98 percent of open world games follow this game design and it's boring now after nearly a decade of following this same design.

anast286d ago

Maybe they know what it takes to make an engaging open-world, but they won't. For most publishers, managers probably get bonuses for finding ways to cut corners.

IAMRealHooman286d ago

yes. Every ubisoft like is overly large map. just to say it's huge with nothing in it.
Love'em or hate'em a yakuza game is a significantly smaller map, with a lot of side activities and absurd quest lines.trying the different restaurants in game can be enjoyable as they offer different buffs, do that or make traversal so good you wouldn't dare fast travel ie Spiderman

Stellar Blade says hello.

The only quality game to come out this year.

exputers286d ago

While true, that one's not a full open-world. Pretty much like God of War Ragnarok.

YourMommySpoils286d ago

Not sure how everyone judges this. If that's the case, that would mean even The Witcher 3 isn't open world and just semi maps slowly unlocked.

jznrpg40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Was with you until the only quality game part. Plenty of great games this year. It also came out last year

jznrpg40d ago

Some are great some are not. That’s the same for any genre. There are tons of Metroidvania’s, some are great some are not, souls games etc etc

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Shaz from GL writes: "Assassin’s Creed Unity is looked at as one of the worst in Ubisoft’s iconic franchise. But playing it nearly 10 years later reveals it may just be the best"

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy85456d ago (Edited 456d ago )

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