Ubisoft On Future Of Assassin's Creed And Expanding The Brand
See Full ImageThe Assassin's Creed franchise has become one of the most popular and critically acclaimed of the generation.
And that's why everyone wants to know about the upcoming new installment, Revelations. At Comic-Con, Ubisoft writer Darby McDevitt first confirmed that they intend to release Assassin's Creed III at some point, although he offered no further details. For Revelations, set to launch this November, he said fans can expect "better integration of the Brotherhood with more opportunities to do specific things with them." Also, the way we meet and recruit those members will be different; it was basically the same each time in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The Animus will also be changed a bit in Revelations (because the main character, Desmond, is changing), so that ought to be interesting.
Also, transmedia producer Louis-Pierre Pharand spoke about "Assassin's Creed: Embers," which is a 21-minute animated short film that follows Ezio in his later years. Ubisoft is looking to expand the brand even further with this project, as they wish to "improve their asset pipeline." As far as we're concerned, just about anything related to AC gets our attention, and we'd love to know what they have planned for ACIII...we're finally going to need some new characters, Ubisoft.

I love this series but do want it to end eventually too. Not many people can tolerate a lengthy saga.

Anyway, anyone else think that his assertions of ACIII coming out 'eventually' means that it won't be out next year, and that will be yet another spin-off iteration, this time focussing on the Wii-U capabilities, though allowing control off a new character. Maybe a true spin off that'll have you with a new modern assassin, before returning to Desmond for ACIII. Hmm...

1 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REMOVE THE GOD DAM STEALTH LEVELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS ASSASSINS CREED, NOT SPLINTER CELL!
2 dont change it too much, again THIS IS NOT SPLINTER CELL!
3 can we have a little more depth in the story?
AC1 and 2 had such deep fantastic stories with fantastic deep complex plots.
ACB was this was stolen, go get it back.

the games more stealth then splinter cell conviction!
1 there seriously annying because of the way the levels are designed, its almost impossible to not be seen!
2 its completley stupid!
they spent all that time creating one kick a$$ combat system, then all you get to use is the assassins blade for stealth kills.
its like doom not letting you use the BFG!
or RFA not letting you use the magnet gun!
i wish they would go back to the combat system in the original assassins creed.
it was so timing focoused, it really reminded me of ninja gaiden.
now its just a button masher!

I dunno man... it sounds like you just aren't any good at the game.
Also, there are a couple, but hardly any of the missions end if you are seen. And even those ones, I find particularly easy anyways. If you have that much trouble being seen all the time... perhaps you should... you know... be stealthy.
I mean, come on man... you're biggest complaints are about how the game is SUPPOSED to be. There are SO SO SO many resources at your disposal to remain unseen, it should NOT be that big of a challenge. As for the fighting, I think there's a great mix of beating up a group of enemies as well as stealth.
I'm not sure an assassin is supposed to be the kind that sprints everywhere swinging swords at everything.
EDIT: PS... the reason I said you were cute is because you demanded they remove the stealth levels because it's not splinter cell... then you said don't change anything because it's not splinter cell. You just like to gripe, I think.
As for story depth, I think there's more than enough there for an action/adventure game. Chances are with your frustration levels, you probably just haven't beaten any of the games.
