"Did Ubisoft Montreal intend for the above image to resemble the fearless leader of the Autobots? Flickr website user Supernova3688 posted an image which oddly enough resembles Optimus Prime, had he been made out of twelfth century wooden window shutters. Pretty interesting."
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?

Haytham Kenway is Assassin's Creed's best antagonist due to his recurring appearance and being a Templar from a family full of Assassins.
This game is becoming the laughing stock of 2007, horrible quality eventhough concept and all was good..jeez
Jade Raymond put that in there.
I think stories like these are a good contribution to this site. It's good for a laugh! Some days it´s harder to move them through pending though :). This one http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend... was a lot easier and many liked to read it and this is sort of similar so I'll approve.
lol Not sure whether it belongs on the site...borderline though. If it's worth a giggle then why not.
What the *uck!
This is the dumbest things I have ever seen.
Come on N4G, report news about games not BS!
A. Creed is awesome. I love this game. Just because the reviewers are burned out gamers doesn't make this a bad game. The game is amazing to say the least.
The only people that do no like it are the gamers that refuse to play the game and read the reviews.
