>>721610065Just reboot the series and go full fantasy with it. I think the fantasy elements worked well in Odyssey.I really want a game in Egypt but the gods are real and it's just a fact of life, and you get different skill trees dedicated to different gods with different themed abilities. Eg, a skill in the skill tree dedicated to Horus let's you see enemies through walls, a skill from Ra let's you ignite your attacks.

Hide all evidence of it). They'll do what they do best and commit terrorism on Ubisoft and /v/ can finally stop bitching about how much they hate AC.
>>721610065you have to include a way for them to fuck it up thoughbecause that's how they do
>>721612213They've already rebooted it, that's what Origins onward are. What you are asking for is also what Immortals Fenyx Rising is and it wasn't really what anyone wanted. Shadows in terms of gameplay is the series at its best actively forcing you to stealth and be careful while offering you an insane amount of mobility even if the AI is way more exploitable as a result, they just need to figure out a central point for the story itself because they're completely lost on the Modern Day outside of having Loki trying to bring back the Isu or at the very least Aletheia while the Assassins can finally delve into Isu memories and find more PoEs effectively.
they should reboot the series with all their retcons included, then they can realize how stupid this series got.
>>721612213fantasy elements dont really do well in this series. its just not where the core fanbase is at ie. historic tourism seekers but they still keep making big dlc around them. the curse of the pharaos and fate of atlantis i both skipped and the latter especially was absolutely terrible. ragnarok i haven't even tried and have no interest in.
>>721610065I've already had my dream AC. Now i'm only waiting for them to actually finish the fucking game.
>>721612537Curse of the Pharaohs was fantastic and the reasoning behind it was sound, but if you don't like the fantasy elements definitely don't touch it.Ragnarok is terrible and the coliseum mode isn't even balanced around the highest difficulties whatsoever, they're straight up impossible in some cases even at max level with the most broken weapons and armor at Divine tier. It barely even does anything for the Isu story either because the only thing you learn from all of it is that Odin is either the reason the solar flare was set into motion or the reason for some project failing leading to the end of the Isu. They're not even clear on what that ending is about.

>>721612914>>721612495moosefag, don't get shadows. I was disappointed and there is NO Isu lore or anything, especially after ending of Valhalla/Mirage. It's just a period story in Japan (which I don't mind if it was done well)
>>721612914It just dropped to $40 on Woot so I decided to gamble on a US copy and it thankfully was one. Started yesterday, I'm about six hours in. Nightmare stealth difficulty was not tested by the devs, I believe this in my heart because these people are either instantly spotting you 3 floors up or so braindead they don't chase you past two feet so you can just stab them en masse.Naoe a qt.
>>721612675i washed my hands off valhalla when i recently played odyssey again and i reinstalled valhalla to play the dlc where you meet kassandra as eivorit was the perfect send off for both characters, not this C-team, netflix episode of western 3dcgi anime looking bizarro shit
Wakanda africa in the future with floating pyramids.
>>721612986>there is NO Isu lore or anythingthat isn't exactly a downsidedoes that include supernatural things/yokai, though?
Set it during around the period of the Romans sieging Jerusalem and it needs to be released next yearI want to see how the worm they way through writing the Jews as either good guys being attacked by evil Romans or Jews as manipulative bad guys trying to stake a claim on Jerusalem to fit with the current climate of shitting on Jews.
>>721613078>does that include supernatural things/yokai, though?No. There is nothing. Again I don't mind it but they set up something interesting with Basim and I was curious what they would do. The Isu stuff has been bad for so long anyway so like I said it's just a Japanese period game which I wouldn't mind if it was done well.
>>721612924My biggest issue with the game, and the reason why i just stopped playing, is the progression system for Naoe. I want to play a stealthy assassin that means, when i get the drop on someone, they just die. Blade to the vitals, it's over. So i turn on guaranteed assassinations. Makes sense, right? But her whole talent tree and progression system is built around making assassinations more lethal, WHEN THEY SHOULD BE DEADLY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Ubisofts designers simply had no fucking clue what to do with a characters progression that is deadly from the start.
>>721613145>they set up something interesting with Basimoh so there's not even anything modern day related?weird
>>721612046Pretty sure they did already.
>>721613224Yeah I thought the same. I turned on auto assassination and was shocked by how easy it made the game because like you said, it's built around combat. It made all skills and weapons pointless.>>721613226No modern day at all. There are animus glitches where this thing talks but that's it.
okay but explain to me why assassins creed ww1 wouldn't work?

>>721613260>>721613359You were supposed to get mad at him for saying>Jesus is fantasy
>>721613349The game is now an action RPG so there's no reason why it couldn't anymore. The stealth gameplay is largely ignored for zerging in and killing everything. I think they just avoid things that are too modern.
>>721613224I've been playing exclusively on Nightmare for both combat and stealth and even though they say Normal is the "intended experience" I think they actually built the game around Nightmare because the segmented health bars only make sense when you die in like two hits. You effectively stunlock someone if you have any added effect on your weapons (Limited Edition DLC gave me a bleed sword) and it functionally makes any 1v1 free for you unless it's Mr. "I will never be staggered" Naginata asshole.>>721613294>There are animus glitches where this thing talks but that's it.Even the talks with that person makes no sense because it implies the Assassins are back to doing Initiates stuff they literally stated was too dangerous for normal people back in Syndicate.
>>721610065If I could i wouldn’t. I would simply tell them to stop.
>>721613441Bait or not, Jerusalem was a shithole so it would be a really boring map. I don't want a cringe Sunday school simulator.
>>721613145the first half of shadows tries to tell a story of the unification of japan and basically copies shogun's homework except instead of you being a fish out of water blackthorne you're a slave that just instantly knew how to blend into the japanese society and everyone acts like from the emperor's new clothes and accepts that you work for nobunaga so you're instantly cool with everyone in the society.it's such a massive wasted opportunity to tell a sort of stranger in a strange land story like shogun (without the romantic undertone) and they utterly squandered it. you might as well replace yasuke with any random liutenant of nobunaga and the story doesn't change. it's pretty clear yasuke was a late addition and the story went through a slew of rewrites because the 2nd half is so utterly confused about what it's trying to do. it's setting up the templar/assassin shit that is completely disjointed from the story about the unifiers in the first half.
>>721610065If i could choose then i choose to kill asscreed forever and revive splinter cell first and make it slow and stealth focus like chaos theory
>>721613450>The stealth gameplay is largely ignored for zerging in and killing everything.This isn't remotely true with Mirage or Shadows. You could go Yasuke I guess and facetank stuff but basically every area is designed around Naoe exploring them while in Mirage you either parry or you die in combat.>>721613556>just instantly knew how to blend into the japanese society and everyone acts like from the emperor's new clothes and accepts that you work for nobunagaThe instant he opened his mouth and started speaking Japanese to Nobunaga in the intro I burst out laughing.
>>721613349anything past the age of revolutions is uninteresting. these games do best when they focus on civilizations other than our own. this is why the settings of unity, ac3, ac:rogue and syndicate just aren't interesting.
>>721610065Either what you posted or the special military operation in Ukraine
>>721613556>2nd half is so utterly confused about what it's trying to do.The way that the entire game falls apart in act 2 is genuinely impressive. I was doing quests and I realied that I had no idea what was going on or who the people were because of the awful non linear system. I also hate the objective board that just gets bigger and bigger and it feels overwhelming. Worst is that the side quests are just go here and kill these 5 people because reasons. When you compare to Odyssey which had great side quests, it's disappointing especially by the same studio.
>>721613652The settings aren't the problem. The shit writing and the blatant cashgrabs are.
>>721613224you only really cant insta assassinate the guardian type enemies. for them if i recall you had to throw a kunai and then while its flying, assassinate them. or just assassinate them once, hide for a while until the AI stops looking for you and go again. the stealth gameplay in the game was unironically kinda fun, and when you leveld up enough it sorta turned into ac odyssey stealth where you just pop an ability and kill 10 guys before they even react to you.
>Jesus was actually a black assassin>Disciples are 80% women of colour>You are fighting against the Sanhedrin that wants to "displace foreign scum from Judea" and "make Israel great again"Actually I might just fucking pitch this to Ubisoft
>>721613832>or just assassinate them once, hide for a while until the AI stops looking for you and go again.This is primarily how I've been playing it. It's such an effective way to deal with enemies and they refuse to look around like they used to in every other game. Even in Mirage they would patrol very far whereas here they just stand there and spin in circles, or they go a couple feet to look for you and then stop looking and stay on alert but nothing else. I've been wanted for like a solid hour now slowly taking down everyone in Osaka Castle at level 6 while everyone around me is on high alert and I'm not really scared of anyone unless like four guys group around me, but climbing over a wall instantly solves that.

>>721613734100%, and the mission board shit was a major complaint from everyone. not sure what they thought they were doing copying far cry 5/6 in a game where narrative is paramount.they also scrapped a shit ton of features from odyssey/origins. like auto running on horse, the entire progression system which is now this dumb minigame shit from ghost of tsushima. this game being a follow up to odyssey is so weird as well because the cities are so dead, the map is so empty (it's deceptively small thanks to 70% of the terrain being essentially procgen landscape you can't navigate), the side activities are so terrible. there basically aren't any real side quests since the whole game is essentially a cult of cosmos hunt, and all the side+main missions are like a branch of the cult. >>721613987the guards aren't allowed to go up rooftops is the problem. a lot of times i would just lie down on a roof that guards saw me climb up on and wait 10sec and they just leave.

Where being caught in combat with more than one opponent would be a run or die situation.

>>721614494>Does that actually matter or only increase enemy health/damage/detection range?I don't think their health increases at all but the damage for sure increases because I've been one-shot from some unblockable kicks because I didn't dodge in time, and naginata users kill you if they hit you at all in the early game.It has them constantly deflecting everything you throw at them making combat way harder. I don't know if it causes the parry time to be shorter but it is insanely short compared to Valhalla or Mirage on their highest difficulties and you only get like two hits in before it's back to being deflected.I spent like 20 minutes on these tutorial assholes just because I could not break their posture and deal damage long enough before one of them either deflected me or came in with an unblockable chain while I was still trying to learn the combat. I think it also increases the frequency of enemy attacks because it's essentially nonstop with no downtime.Detection range becomes how people I saw online complained Valhalla's highest tier was when it's not even close. These people in Shadows will see you on rooftops 2+ stories up when not on alert. I could not for the life of me assassinate the first Order guy for the tutorial to get the box back because a guy on the ground saw me crouched on the roof and kept going into yellow investigating. They will also actively see you in open areas or across entire fields stabbing someone or carrying a body if it's sunny out, and they hear assassinations near them now. Another big issue is that if you get near them (Like, within assassination range) they can hear you walking behind them and start turning unlike any other game.>>721614654Entirely depends on how the hell it's going to work because unless the MC has a PoE using actual magic is going to be so ass. It was already ass in Dawn of Ragnarok and them trying to constantly push the fantasy aspect further in AC feels dumb because it doesn't need it.
I think the american revolutionary war in AC3 was a great setting and I'd love to see them tackle that era again (1700s/1800s America) with a more polished game with better fitting gameplay mechanics. Could do the Indian Wars, War of 1812, Civil War, etc.

>>721615730Nah the future shit was always a mistake that hampered the games. Especially since they could never commit to bringing the games into the modern world.
>>721615240The devs have constantly complained about wanting a female MC for a game but constantly kept getting shot down by higher ups because they believed it would lead to worse sales.https://www.pcgamer.com/new-report-claims-assassins-creed-developers-were-pressured-into-minimising-female-protagonists/Back during Unity they said they didn't want female characters because it would require overhauling some of the animations and other stuff which got them a lot of flak.Supposedly Evie was going to have a larger role before Jacob overtook her in the marketing and spotlight.Bayek was supposed to die half way through Origins and Aya would be the MC from then on but they went against it.Kass was stated to be the original MC for Odyssey before the higher ups forced Alexios into the game and the marketing but everything else including the novel focused on Kass being the Eagle Bearer.Before Valhalla even came out they outright said both male and female would be canon and they both ended up being canon so I imagine even from the start female Eivor was always going to be a thing and Havi would always be the male side.

>>721615860The only one that really bothered me was Eivor. Kassandra felt a better fit with the story especially her maternal friendship with Phoebe and Alexios was fun as Deimos. Eivor however felt odd. Especially because all the reincarnated people you see look and sound the same but Eivor is a gender swap for some reason? It was especially jarring in the Asgard sections where they had to avoid calling Odin, Odin because you might be playing as a female character during that time.

That at first you're dogshit and constantly have to run away because they notice you all the time but after spending a couple skill points on the right perks it becomes much easier. Maybe Ubi is going to see the light and overhaul the skill trees in that way.
>>721616002What's that? You want more copy-pasta hills and forests?GOT IT
>>721616002>unity atmosphere is unmatchedWhen it comes to crowds and buildings, absolutely but i was, and still am, so insanely fucking sick off long coats and pointy hats that i will never touch another game with those visuals.
>>721615860>Supposedly Evie was going to have a larger role before Jacob overtook her in the marketing and spotlight.This can't be true, considering how unimportant Evie to the overall game, hell, she's barely in the marketing. I have no doubt that Evie was added in response to that retarded dev's answer to why there was no playable female character in Unity.
Japan but without niggers and make stealth a bigger thing
>make the same game>but worsebravo ubisoft
>>721616234Dropped this shit halfway through.
>>721616002If there's one thing the rpgs did right it was opening the game up for more exploration, free running wasn't that fun
>>721615976They should have just had the "canon" toggle for Valhalla instead of pussyfooting with the "Let the Animus decide" option. It would have made it far clearer for everyone who is what instead of making people think Havi is the MC. I was so glad when I saw this option in Shadows man, you have no idea. No more garbage dialogue choices.>but Eivor is a gender swap for some reason?They used it for the twist of Basim thinking it was Sigurd the whole time as Loki when he was just Tyr.>>721616213>considering how unimportant Evie to the overall gameDid we both play the same Syndicate? She's the only reason why England doesn't completely collapse from Jacob's retarded decisions and is the only reason why Jack the Ripper is dead after Jacob screwed the pooch on him too. It's clear she's the MC, she even is shown to be hit on by Greenie while Jacob has no one outside of Starrick's incestuous cousin hitting on him.
>>721616234Fucking Rise of the Ronin was better than that dogshit.
>>721616305Canon mode is great but I don't like that it makes you miss out on an ally. That's the only reason I avoided it.
>Ancient MesopotamiaI couldn't care less about AssGreed but just walking around Uruk or Akkad would be amazing.As far as I'm concerned virtual tourism is the only value these games provide.
>>721616116sure it was overdone by the time syndicate came out. for me modern settings aren't as fun, I fucking hate snipers in those games>>721616257there's no reason you cant have both
>>721616234The funniest part is you can feel even from the start that they want to be Ghost of Sushi so badly, especially with the "Immersive Mode" toggle that makes Japanese the canon VA.>>721616357Didn't even know it would do that but that's fine, Odyssey's canon choices kill essentially the entire family for example.
>>721616357I haven't played much but i told the DEI sumo to fuck off and haven't seen her since but the game acts like i should have allies by now so i think she's gone forever.
>>721610065Futuristic, sci-fi setting with ayys.
>>721616461that's basically what this is
>>721616532I like how Ubisoft games feel so formulaic that you can point to other games they've made and go>yeah that's basically Assassins Creed in X setting>Watch Dogs is basically modern AC>Outlaws is basically sci-fi AC>Avatar is basically sci-fi Far Cry
>>721616305She barely has any solo missions outside of cleaning up after Jacob's shit and getting the necklace back. There are 24 Jacob only missions compared to Evie's 12. And from what I remember, Evie only gets one of those special assassination cutscenes. Evie wasn't even in the game's cinematic trailer. Jacob actually grows and changes throughout the game, you know, having a character arc. Meanwhile Evie stays the same, with her only change in the story being flirting with Henry. Fuck, you play as Jacob's granddaughter during WW1, meanwhile we know nothing of Evie's descendants.
>>721616578They follow a formula and somehow it works for them because normie casuals enjoy mindless turn your brain off slop.>>721616349I wanted to check that out but I have serious souls fatigue. Can't stand playing them any more.
>>721616532Yes but that is Star Wars slop not Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed isn't even Assassin's Creed anymore just random Assassin of the week type episodes that have nothing to do with the story of the original games.
2005, when white heterosexual people where in charge of ubisoft
>>721611931Very Kosher. Shalom.
>>721616623If the story didn't have Evie cleaning up his messes then it wouldn't really make any sense as the entire story focuses on him making mistake after mistake ultimately learning from Evie's scolding and Roth. If Jacob was the intended protagonist overall then that means extremely early on they redid the entire story because him as the sole protagonist doesn't work with what they gave us.
>>721616837Obviously there were re-writes, but that doesn't change the fact that Evie was a last minute addition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBnegQ4p0MsYou can see in that trailer that Evie is completely absent until the last few seconds, where she just stands around saying nothing. To call her the main character because she picks up after little brother is utter nonsense.
>>721616627>Can't stand playing them any more.It's not Souls at all. It's parry slop, if you want to play it that way. But you can also just block. The only thing that is legit retarded is the story. You're a merc from a super secret organization working for the shogunate and the rebels at the same time. To the point that you try to assassinate a central figure of one side only to work for him 2 missions later and it keeps flipflopping like that through the whole story. Characters even acknowledge your lack of "loyalty" but just hand waive it. Also the lighting is legit fucked. Pic related. Cut scene with baked lighting vs. ingame scene.
>>721617019Fair enough. Could be exactly like you said and they're just saying that because of the blowback they got for Unity. Maybe she was intended to just be a side character like Greenie until that happened.
>>721617019That's a TV trailer that aired on the game's launch. Unless you're suggesting they redid the entire story and cutscenes literally months away from release which is impossible.
>>721616627>somehow it works for themNot anymore, hasn't worked them for years.>Avatar was a flop>Far Cry 6 was a flop>Watch Dogs Legion was a flop>Outlaws was a flopThey wasted so many years and money on that trash and other dead live service games. When they could've brought back older IPs like Splinter Cell, Rayman and PoP
Fun fact the guy in charge of Tripwire Interactive/Killing Floor who go fired for being pro life is making a video game about Jesus Christ.
>>721611078fpbp
>>721617307They made solid Rayman and Prince of Persia games within the last 10 years and both of them flopped hard too.I don't blame Ubisoft for being confused about what consumers want.
Enjoy your last few days in the spotlight Shadows.
>>721611078https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0V7ulolvno
>>721617173Like I said, I have no doubt.>>721617181Yes, that's the point. The second major playable character was almost entirely absent from all the game's CGI marketing, almost if they rearranged the game too late have her included in any of them. Here's the usual E3 cinematic trailer, notice how Evie is completely non-existent.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTBbwgsyxvg
>>721617307The Prince of Persia sidescroller they made was very well received and it flopped, and Sparks of Hope also flopped fairly hard. Didn't the Rayman game after Origin also flop?Ubisoft is actively trying smaller and bigger projects and they're getting nowhere with them. A good example is Riders Republic and Steep, the former of which flopped on launch (I imagine because of forced online and always having people in your world) and the latter sort of just released to no fanfare even though it was great.
>>721616002Baghdad > ParisParis in the 18th century is basically what it is today especially the palace/government district. It really suffers from the "I can go there today, why would I go there in a game" feel.
>>721617435>Ghost of WOKEDead on arrival.
>>721617492I think it's more likely they wanted the Peaky Blinders fanbase (which was a big influence on Syndicate) and didn't want to alienate audiences by giving Evie a prominent role in the marketing campaign.
>>721617389>>721617553Rayman games flopped? I remember them being decently popular. And the only PoP game I remember in the past decade was the recent 2D metroidvania where you don't even play as the Prince. Then you have their big triple AAA game that targets nobody, but wants to appeal to everybody, the fuckers are just clueless. >Riders Republic and SteepThey also published some volleyball game and other small GaaS titles, none of which survived. Throw in the Black Flag spin-off that was in development for a decade and died on release, it's clear that Ubisoft has no fucking clue what they're doing.

>>721616384>Ancient MesopotamiaThis is the only setting that would make me consider buying an Assassin's Creed game.>walking around AkkadWe don't even know where Akkad was or what it looked like, I wouldn't trust Ubisoft "historians" to imagine such an important city.
a game during the russian revolution could be neat
Assassin's creed three kingdomsassassin's creed aztecassassin's creed cold war eraassassin's creed medieval rusassassin's creed rust belt america
>>721617876There was a spin off set during it but no major game company would touch a country like Russia right now anyway. It would also be a shitshow because Russians will screech about it if you make Lenin a villain or Lenin a hero.
>>721617659Doubt. This is the game with first tranny in AC, why would they be opposed to showing a female character in marketing?
>>721616024Something to add, not sure if this is on lower difficulties or not, but whistling also makes the person being whistled at go alert which I hadn't seen yet. Just had this happen a few minutes ago. Only reason I could assassinate this guy was because he dropped his alert guard, I think I went back to being hidden for a second, and then it allowed me to kill him.>>721617732>it's clear that Ubisoft has no fucking clue what they're doing.That's the problem since even on their lower end games like the PoP game or Sparks of Hope they're faltering and they have no idea how to recover from it. Their big AAA games are nearly all flopping or underperforming, their AA games are supported for a bit but then die, and their A games basically die a dog's death of irrelevance never really making more than a couple hundred thousand sales. I think that's why they tried to pivot to NFTs and NFT games not too long ago because none of this was working and they wanted to try a new market.Like, even Far Cry 6 flopped and that's one of their "staple" franchises. They seem to be held up exclusively by The Division, Rainbow Six, and Assassin's Creed at this point and if any one of those three does poorly they have huge issues. Jade's also been in development for years and outside of the beta we've heard absolutely none of it even though it's almost finished. I assume they're being asked why the hell it's not just a console/PC game considering it looks exactly like Odyssey just with more microtransactions.

Could a stone age AC work?
>>721618161isnt that basically far cry: primal?
>>721618056Did they market the tranny in the tv spot?The tv spot marketing is for the guy watching football down at the pub. It's not for people who care about the franchise.They mention Evie as being playable during their e3 gameplay demo too.https://youtu.be/gt4xv16pjsQ
>>721618193Far Cry is a fps (even though primal uses spears instead of guns) and not an AC game.
>>721617907>Assassin's creed three kingdomsfuck no. we already saw the insane culture war that came from westerners trying to depict asian cultures in shadows.>assassin's creed aztecnot sure there is a big interest in mesoamerican cultures besides "there be cannibals here">assassin's creed cold war erawaaay too modern. the latest you should go is the age of revolutions. the pirate republic was sort of an exception. syndicate didn't work. we have so much evidence that shows it doesn't work.>assassin's creed medieval rusyou can't make an asscreed game about barren wilderness>assassin's creed rust belt americawe already had ac rogue and ac3. 2 entire games for american history fans and that's 2 games too many, american history is just age of revolutions, late modern period sleep medicine history.
assassins creed where you play as a germanic tribesman
>>721618323>syndicate didn't work. we have so much evidence that shows it doesn't work.It could work. The problem with Syndicate (and 3 to a lesser extent) are that they weren't willing to update the gameplay to factor in guns. The games would need a major overhall to make gunplay the main focus if they want to continue into the 1900s.
>>721618479the gameplay is the least of syndicate's problems
>>721614654Yes
>>721618323Assassin's creed war of the three rosesassassin's creed opium warsassassin's creed silk roadsassassin's creed byzantine empire assassin's creed mongolians
I dont think Jesus was an assassin.
whatever happened to this shit
>>721618479Then you just have Watch_Dogs. The problem with making AC games have guns is that you turn the games into Watch_Dogs just without the hacking. The Hidden Blade would be borderline pointless at that point because why would you ever not just use suppressed guns a mile away over stabbing people? Especially when they do not have the technology to trace it back to you or follow you?
>>721618240My point was that Evie only made it into one CGI trailer, and it was at the very end where she does and saying nothing. Which makes it look like a last minute edit.>They mention Evie as being playable during their e3 gameplay demo too.I would think so, the game was launching in 4 months
>>721618589is that the mobile game?
>>721618558>assassin's creed silk roadsac mirage exists>assassin's creed byzantine empireunironically would go hard. especially the east/west schism, 4th crusade period>assassin's creed mongoliansi dont want ass creed finland
>>721618589I'm guessing they realized that they don't have a monetization strategy and quietly shelved it. People won't pay money for mobile titles.On another note though, making lazy spinoff games for a market like China is a stupid idea imo. China is a big market and worth setting a proper AC game there if you're willing to jump through the hoops to get it released there.
>>721618558Hey I know her!
>>721618589Went AWOL after the beta and they haven't spoken of it since. It's apparently because of Tencent forcing some of their devs to focus on in-house stuff instead of foreign games.https://www.eurogamer.net/assassins-creed-jade-likely-delayed-to-2025-reporthttps://www.reuters.com/technology/tencents-next-level-up-fewer-big-foreign-franchise-games-more-in-house-2024-03-21/It also just looks like Odyssey with more microtransactions and way more grinding due to the ridiculous amounts of in-game materials:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQZ5O0VLC2sI see them making it a proper console release just from how much money they've blown on it over the past, what, four years now? They'll never recoup their costs from mobile, every other mobile AC game bombed hard.

Lots of new hires in Ubisoft Singapore, South America, and the new studio in Philippines. Word on the street is that after hexe and black flag remake, the setting will be in mexico/south america with aztecs and shit during peak of spanish empire, may even include the flipland as part of the setting hence the hiring in singapore, philippines, and south america
>>721610065takes place in modern day quebec as the timeline forces you to make shitty press x to awesome ass creed games and fill them with brown people at every opportunity
>>721610065Hard to say. There are so many interesting time periods that *could* act as a basis for and AC game. Like the tail end of Tzarist Russia. I know there's one of those weird 2.5D spinoff games roughly from that period, but a proper game starting earlier would be more interesting.
>>72161006516th to 17th century Netherlands. Eighty Years' War had plenty of IRL assassinations, and it's an obscure enough conflict that you can get away with creating some wholly fictional characters to accompany real ones without them feeling totally retarded and out of place like Yasuke.
>>721620230But Yasuke isn't fully made up. Naoe is, like all the other AC main characters.
>>721620230You can actually see the bullet holes where William of Orange got assassinated even today. He whipped out two pistols and shot them in quick succession like a low budget Arthur Morgan.

>>721621618Mirage and Claws of Awaji for Shadows
>>721621753I liked Mirage but what was special about Awaji? I've not gotten there yet but it looks like just more of the same.
Does anyone else how they can't stop reworking the controls with every single game? With Origins to Mirage I could just bind RT to Parkour Up, RB to Parkour Down/Crouch, X to assassinate and light attack, and Y to heavy attack. But with Shadows now Parkour Up on RT doesn't work at all for some arbitrary reason even if nothing else is on the button. Even if you rework the controls to work more like the older games (Hell, even the classic controls of the newer games) you have to throw your Y/X/A buttons onto LB or the d-pad otherwise you can't heal at all.It's so annoying how they keep doing this and don't offer a "Classic" control scheme.
>>721610065I don't know which time period needs more denigration since they've already defecate on the greeks, nordics and japs. It shouldn't be that hard to find another time period that white people tend to like. I vote for making a proper AC China showing how china is the best at everything and how the order was actually created in china 1000 years before the "original". No, make it 2000 years before. Oh, and it was actually a sisterhood.
>>721610065It wouldnt
A transition between assassin's creed to watchdogs. Remake AC4-syndicate.I think Connor and arno should actually meet. In fact I think Connor should be the protagonist of ac unity with arno being his disciple. Assassin's syndicate would have arno change his playstyle and create the watchdogs.
