Some say 2007 has been the greatest year ever in videogame history. We've had some top games spread generously throughout the year, a console launch and some pretty amazing headline-grabbing announcements. But not everything that made the news in 2007 has been blessed with brilliance. So in memory of this, VideoGamer.com have compiled their picks for 2007's biggest disappointments in a special VideoGamer.com Top 10. Strap yourself in, take a deep breath, and ready yourself for some truly shocking stuff.
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

Notice they didn't mention the RROD? They seem to have no problem with sony's first 6 months but the 360's recent spring of bad luck all year isn't even mentioned.
RROD IS A TECHNICAL BLUNDER OF THE DECADE TAKE XBOTS !!!!
Microsoft's XBOX 360 console is considered by the masses to be a dissapointment in itself. Just by being released, XBOX 360 has fallen into being an eligible canidate of a dissapointment in 2005,2006 and 2007. Several news reports can be referenced to Dark Sniper's claim.
Sony's PLAYSTATION 3® gives the owner a sense of style and significant social value when displayed in the owner's living room. Combine this with a Sony 7.1 surround sound system and a Sony 1080p Bravia television set, and you will soon have the very best that electronics has to offer.
$niper

I'm so sick of hearing how bad Lair's controls are. I was pretty good at Lair and I never experienced the issues most people did. Saying Lair's controls are bad is incorrect, they are just different and for some people they are hard to grasp. That doesn't make them bad. If the controls were so bad then nobody would be able to control it, but some, myself included, can and do so quite effectively.
Every time I initiated a forward dash the game complied. Whenever I initiated a 180 turn the game complied. You have to find the sweet spot for the speed and force you have to apply to the controller. Not to mention how vital reflexes and timing are. The game requires more attention then most games, but that doesn't make the controls bad, just different and harder to master.
I'm not saying Lair is an excellent game, but I'm tired of hearing how bad the controls were. I totally understand how someone would be put off by the forced usage of motion controls but I also think people were way too hard on Lair.
I will say, though, that Factor 5 should have included analog controls for people who don't like motion controls. It's perfectly understandable why someone wouldn't want to use motion controls in a game.
