The first brain-tweaking revelation in Assassin's Creed comes literally right at the beginning, so let's get it out in the open, spoiler alerts be damned: This is a game about a medieval hitman, set in the ancient Holy Land during the Third Crusade... and it takes place in the year 2012.
But if you've been following this three-years-in-the-making Ubisoft Montreal epic -- and it seems like everyone and their pet hunting falcon has been -- you probably already suspected as much. Assassin's Creed is a simulation within a simulation, a video game about a guy being forced to play a video game inside his own brain. Whoa.
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?

THE END!
Peace Out!
...Assassin's Creed wouldn't have received so much attention. This game has been so over-hyped, it's sickening. I bought it last week just to see what all the fuss was about, gotten maybe halfway through, and I'm bored of it already. It's too repetitive and doesn't live up to all the hype it's been given, in my opinion.
I'm not saying it's a bad game. But it is getting better reviews and more attention than I think it deserves.
The truth is,it is a bad game!
