Assassin's Creed needs to go more fantasy. Black Flag would have been twice as good if it had sea monsters and shit.

>>323018679
But that means that AC will be a playable game once again, what's the problem? AC's strongest point was open-world climbing and killing system based on climbing but that was new 6 games before.

Shoehorning the "asassin outfit" to all games since the original feels extremely jarring to me. It felt kinda appropriate in the original while in the sequels it stands out like sore thumb. Often times it's not just silly but trying to mix in setting-appropriate features makes it look ugly to boot.

Not really.

And I think they are just talking about having dialog options that influence the story so nothing the Witcher invented really.
We had that in may other games before.

And if they are talking about Witcher quality writing, yeah Ubisoft will never be able to do that.

>>323023814
I think he was talking about AC3, not W3.

Its more of Kotaku's sources giving the same information. Kotaku has leaked the last like 5 AC games months ahead of announcements.

The last assassin costume that looked really good was the AC3 getup. It was just a Colonial soldier's uniform with a hood, pretty much.

Theres no chance for other studios to work on these locations because ubisoft are taking them all by spewing out fucking titles, nobody wants to release a game within a year of one with the same location.

>>323022681
Being alive at the time seems like a pretty good source, right? The fact is, Half-Life started the cinematic game trend. It told it's story through gameplay instead of cutscenes, but that still amounted to you standing in a room listening to people talk for a good chunk of the game.

Sounds like you're taking a meme about Half Life 2 and trying to apply it to Half Life 1 for some reason

>>323018679
The fact that these people are using info that LITERALLY originated from 4chan makes me think there is truth to it. for example, when far cry primal had that flash video slowly zooming out for 24 hours before announcing it, some game journalist tweeted about how he heard they were making an ice age far cry, so they get info ahead of time. I think some journalist knew about this game but couldn't write about it, but now they can because 'hey it was on 4chan i didn't leak it.' Fuck i just woke up dont know if i'm making sense

>looks to be set in ancient Egypt with allusions to Ra the sun god
>set over 10,000 years prior to the creation of the real life organization on which the lore is based
Have they given up on the semi historically accurate part?

>>323023516
>Witcher 3 was shit
Ah, and so the popularity backlash begins. People are giving it GOTY awards now, so obviosuly that means the game is terrible, right?

MGS was vastly more cinematic than half-shit. The real game/s that started us down this awful path was the first uncharted and halo 1. Not to mention the plethora of FMV games in the early 90's.

Half life is garbage, and always has been. People copy good games not shit ones

Except that's wrong. They both show up around the 12th century AD. I mean sure maybe the game lore says garden of Eden bullshit but the point of the original game was reliving history in the context of the assassins that were an actual medieval islamic sect. Essentially ancient Isis.

He will be a mudslime. The French love mudslimes and getting killed by them.

>>323024607
Why? Because they list the treasure? Most of it if just coins and useless items. Good collectables are hidden and hard to find. Give it a second chance. Literally best game in the series for being least like the series.

>>323018679
I wouldn't be surprised. AAA dev's are terrified of novelty and trying new things

freedom cry and liberation were shit.
wouldnt mind playing a mudslime centuries ago. what is ac1 and PoP anyway?

>>323025118
The first Assassins Creed was meant to be a PoP spin off where you are the pinces bodyguard

>>323025107
Right. And the assassins were just a militant group fighting over which version of the sect was correct. They didn't start fucking with the crusaders until it became assistant that they were a threat. It was mostly assassinations of high target leaders in the Muslim world of whether they didn't approve of. Interesting stuff really.

>>323025178
You literally don't need a single one of those. Turn off collectables on your map and its fine.

>>323018679
That's hilarious since The Witcher 3 was an AC clone.

Be that as it may, it has come to this, and i have come to this as well.


Witcher 3 worked wondrously and marvellously.


However, taking components and slapping it onto a game franchise won't save it from being demolished by proper games.

>AssCreed
>being a witcher clone with souls combat
Hah. IT takes more than "sandbox-like", "grounded in reality" bullshit to be witcheresque.

The witcher works because of it's strong roots, it's book backing, it's writer also stole a lot of things - plagiarized - from others, and made it work. There's an overarching "secret" in this. Dedication and love.

Ubisoft only has love for money, and dedication for more shitty DLC and uPlay forcing. So, as good as it is, and as good it may prove to these games, it still won't be as good as the Witcher 3, or those who actually closely follow its trail.

"grounded in reality" my ass anyway, White frost, magic, etc... i fail to see the Groundedness.

>>323026884
I finished W3 on hardest difficulty and the only challenging fight was Imlerith because he could randomly one-shot you with that bullshit combo.

How are the AC sales on PC?
Horrible I would accume? The games always leak early and always have some technical difficulties.

But even on console people must be getting sick of this shit after a yearly release and sometimes even 2 releases per year

With "Witcher-feel" the dev meant that this AC focuses a lot on the sense of adventure and discovery as well as player progression.

No, you will not have a fucking RPG with a the ability to choose shit.

I don't know why this is a problem. Oh of course, I'm on /v/.

>>323030113
also forgot to add that it makes sense since the Black Flag team is developing this one

>>323030113
Who said it's a problem that the story will be linear?

The problem is they release the same shit year after year and half the games had some major technical problems/shortcomings.

FUCK YES

This will be the only Assassins Creed I have been hype for since Black Flag

>>323030758
You've got your Black Flag and Rogue.
Hope that Ubisoft makes a new Pirate IP instead of bringing that stuff to Ass Creed. That way everyone will be satisfied.

>>323030971
How good is Rogue I hear almost nobody talking about it, seems like one of those offshoot Assassins creed that doesn't have any content

>>323021505
Ask them also why Arkham combat? Because it's one aspect of a popular game, so why not copy it? Understanding why it works in the first place be damned.

>>323030971
Everybody is asking for this since 3.
Make a pirate game with the same naval combat but also sea monsters and mystery shit like in Pirates of the Crebean.

But Ubi won't do it they will just beat their cashcow until it turns into a dead horse.

>>323030971

>Hope that Ubisoft makes a new Pirate IP instead of bringing that stuff to Ass Creed.

I want this so much. Please Ubisoft. I promise I'll even install Uplay for it. Just give me Age of Pirates 2 with the Black Flag engine. Please.

>>323031116
It's a watered down version of Black Flag. You can give it a go, it's alright. But damn is it overrated here.

>>323031232
Assassins Creed came before Arkham. They did it first but Rocksteady did it better especially with Arkham City tbph.

>>323031346
Syndicate straight up copied it, even added a combo meter.

>>323031116
It's okay. Not that much shit to do, but boat play is as good as ever.

>>323030584
And it was your fault for buying before people could say hey this shit is bad.
Also this means you missed out on 4 which was actually good.

>>323032235
It wasn't bad it was just more of the same without improvements.
And 4 for PC was bottlenecked.

Quick reminder that this game will not be set in ancient Egypt but in 19th or 20th century Egypt so they can make the villains Europeans as "having non White villains in assassins creed is something we try to avoid in our multicultural team that make the AC series" heck they made the fucking Slaving, coloninsing, genocide commiting Ottomans as the good guys.

>>323034191

casuals love bethesda's shallow, empty sandboxes too much. every developer crawled up Todd's ass and now everything has to be sandbox. Even when opting to be a sandbox instead of a narrower gameworld that the developers can put more care into making. It's a publisher demand now that the dev has to supply a vast, empty, barren wasteland like the gameworld of every TES game.

It really isn't that far off to begin with, plus Witcher 3 is already buggy as hell so not much difference will be seen, I'm sure.
