With the PS3's launch late last year, 2007 marks the system's first full year of existence. But it was no ordinary year for games, as several killer "must-have" titles have shown what the PS3's extra muscle can do. But what's a user to do with so many pieces to choose from? IGN's picked 10 of the biggest and best releases of the year that everyone with a PlayStation 3 should play.
Assassin's Creed has been hard done by in the past several years despite its success, and as messy as it could be, it might be time for a reboot.
They already did that in 2017 with origins. I don’t think a reboot is on the cards when Ubisoft is about to go down under lol
I hope the splinter cell remake sees the light of day before the company closes
I doubt they'll be closing, but they are primed to be eaten up by a bigger comp. Also 2017 was nearly a decade ago, it could use another reboot or rather it should just be retired.
Origins was the reboot.
But that also alienated the original AC lovers, abit. Not everybody adores the perma-change of the IP to be vast RPGs.
What I instead propose is, alternate between Valhalla/Shadows type AC RPGs and Mirage/ACII like non-RPG releases.
What is old might feel new again. A new splinter cell with semi open levels but still having a linear structure (not just one giant open world) that have multiple paths to complete the objective but still have stealth be the main priority would feel fresh, especially with modern graphics and military gadgets .
I agree, from anecdotal evidence, all franchises eventually stagnate, it might be a good time to start something new.
"it might be time for a reboot." No it might be time to put this shit to rest for a few yrs. A good 4-5 then come back.
Total franchise reboot. This ac game is basically the hail Mary to keep Ubisoft alive if this fails the share price will be so low they will be forced to sell and likely absorbed into another org as the Ubisoft name carries almost no weight.
Don't get me wrong they will end up selling after ac regardless but it will be the difference of getting the deal they want vs the deal they don't
With many wondering what route the franchise should take next, Assassin's Creed should finally visit the Wild West era.
Tell me how that's going to be significantly different than colonial America. AC is about showcasing different cultures throughout history. They already did Native Americans in AC3, so then just cowboys, outlaws, ranchers, etc? Kinda feel like there's already a game out there that does that really freaking well. Hmmm, maybe the one in the thumbnail?
assassin's creed new york starring luigi as the adjuster taking out bad guys health insurance templars
Haytham Kenway is Assassin's Creed's best antagonist due to his recurring appearance and being a Templar from a family full of Assassins.
Virtua Fighter 5???
Who would you get that when Tekken: Dark Resurrection is cheaper, has more characters, is ONLINE, and got better reviews? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard...
Also...Heavenly Sword goes WAYYYYY before VF5. Why didn't they put it on there?
I am not the world's biggest Sony fan however I do own a PS3 with 3 whole games and Fall of Man is ONE the best game so far on that system.And I am sorry Uncharted just looks like Larry Croft to me.
tekken dr than virtua fighter 5, but i guess each to his own.
and i'll remove orange box there, i'd rather have heavenly sword.
IGN has nothing to say I want to hear...or care about.
wow, ign put a poor score into some games on the list. But you should buy. funny.
