Associated Press - Lou Kesten, December 26, 2007:
Worst of 2007:
1. Manhunt 2
2. Vampire Rain
3. Deal or No Deal
4. Lair
5. Escape from Bug Island!
Turkey Shoot:
• Most disappointing: Halo 3 (single-player), Assassin's Creed, Blue Dragon, Heavenly Sword
• Enough already: The Tony Hawk series, World Wrestling Entertainment games, Final Fantasy remakes
• Worst feud: Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band
• Worst flaw in a great game: The inventory management system in Mass Effect
• Worst voice acting: Elijah Wood, Gary Oldman and Billy West in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
• Worst cross-promotion: Playboy and Eidos'"Cyber Search" for Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (pictured)
• Most baffling: The Nintendo Wii, still hard to find more than a year after its debut.
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?

A new Halo 3 mod turns the iconic Master Chief into a Pokémon % Master as functional Pokeballs come to the game.

Full animiation then a code change to make the target that comes out of the ball to be in the same class unsc not a easy thing to do.
Alright looks like the other is getting dup'ed out so I'll just copy and paste my comment on here :)
Well I liked most of those games on the list but I can understand were they are coming from. Heavenly Sword was an amazing game that not to many liked. Blue Dragon was a fun RPG with standard everthing with a few tweaks that didn't sell out. AC sold a million and yet most say it was repetative and no replay value. Halo 3 just had to much hype. I totally agree with enough of Tony Hawk (which is why I bought stake ^^), and Escape from Bug Island who didn't know that game would blow?
No fanboy writter seeing that they pretty much covered everything.
"Worst cross-promotion: Playboy and Eidos'"Cyber Search" for Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (pictured)" I agree. When I saw that picture of the hooker on the Kane & lynch poster, I knew it will be a crappy game.
Heavenly Sword? Disappointing? you must be mad.
The rest i must agree with.
MaximusPrime -by your avatar i can come to the Point that your a SonyFanboy thats why Only Heavenly sword seems misplaced to you. even tho i like the game
