No they dont. They had the chance to do a superb new IP round the ship sailing, and having it be just another AC game holds it down. By far the most boring part of the game isbeing on land. And that hasen't changed at all since the beginning. Sure they give you more tools, but there is nothing really new.I don't mind yearly releases because they innovate each game. Considering this is next gen, I await greatness from the gameplay.
They still have a chance to make new IP based on sailing. If there are many people who want it, Ubi will know based on the survey in which they asked if players would like non-AC game with a pirate theme. I don't much care for sailing. All I want is for them to go back to Brotherhood era of AC.No they dont. They had the chance to do a superb new IP round the ship sailing, and having it be just another AC game holds it down.
An AC game which is like other AC games. I don't see the problem.Next-gen doesnt unlock doors for great gameplay, creativity does. It will be as same as other AC games with better graphics. That's all...
Yea but at the rate they are going its exactly like CoD or ye average Naruto filler. They made a great world with lots of lore and are not even exploring half of their own things. They are just doing the easy and safe thing. But thats far from optimal. They could have taken the theme so far further. They actually tried that with the different outfits wrom liberation, but they didnt take it till the end for fear of rejection.They still have a chance to make new IP based on sailing.

Not everyone has to like AC, and while the yearly releases do take away the charm a little bit, for me the mobility based freedom it offers is unrivaled. Also, AC3 wilderness area during rain was one of the best atmospheric experiences I've had.
Actually The arkham games should be wrapped up with Knight. Origins itself was handled by a totally different group all together.The real problem is the lack of plot progression since AC3 with Connor. AC was always mostly about plot, all the time(in the first games) you got a cutscene, something happened, something developed, then something developed in the modern times. Now it is just milking the modern story for an excuse for us to play as the Assassins in the game's history. It is not about the plot anymore, which I think it horrible, AC was always more of a movie than a game for me, like GTA, or Arkham games. They release a new game every year and they have no idea how to wrap this up.
They need to start wrapping the game up modern times story wise, they cant launch 15 games and then wrap up a story that started from game one. And they refuse to realize that, they just want to keep on milking it.Sooner or later they'll have to try something different with AC or it will die. Create a new Desmond like character that will discover his ancestor(s) were skilled assassins with key information about the civilization "that came before". Clues that help bring together a plan for defeating Juno (or whatever her name was).
While earlier I was hoping for as many AC games set in different time periods as possible, right now I'm not even sure anymore. It would be nice to get some sort of a conclusion to the modern day events, but if the series ended, it would definitely be missed by many gamers who still want to explore more time periods. I think I agree with Deco that perhaps they could ditch the modern day thing and focus on the past. I never even liked much playing through modern times and was waiting eagerly until I'm back in Animus.
I still have to play Freedom Cry and Liberation HD, but right now I'm sort of tired of AC.
I agree. Hopefully i will be able to pass the suggestion further on. If i'm assigned to this project ( i recently got a job in the testing department).Quite honestly, they should recreate their combat mechanics. The counter wins all mechanic is terible.
Make the guards OP, make the need to escape there, make the need to actually be an assassin there. Have it so that yes you can kill a guard or 2 when fighting them alone, but ganged up by 10 guards you should die if you dont run. Make the game combat more exciting instead of a power fantasy where you slaughter more guards in 1 town than there are NPCs in the entire game. The free roaming mechanic is good, but the combat is utter shit at this point.
Its still the same counter mechanic, only now you can counter 3 guys comming at you at the same time. Not to mentiuon they only copied that from the batman games. What would be great IMO is an option to turn have guards attack all at once. So if you get in to a fight with 10 of them youpretty much need to get the hell out or die.well they did a small combat change in ac4.... u can fight 3 guys at once instead of all vs 1 xD
YOU WORK AT UBISOFT?!I agree. Hopefully i will be able to pass the suggestion further on. If i'm assigned to this project ( i recently got a job in the testing department).
The same goes for the modern story thing.
