Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Is Going All-In on Assassin's Creed with Black Flag Remake, Another Remake, Co-op Multiplayer Games, and More

Whats the point of remaking old Assassins Creed games, the games are all exactly the same anyway, playing Valhalla feels like playing Origins, Playing 2 feels like playing Brotherhood etc.

Please do not buy these titles. Ubisoft need to stop churning out Far Cry 3 reskinned and AC reskinned every few years and they won't learn if you buy them

Sounds cool.

I thought the last trilogy was decent, but sort of diminishing returns for each game.

The story wasn't super engaging either so would like to see improvements here. I really liked Lara and the Maori guy in the trilogy, but thought they should have built more on their friendship. The voice actors bounced off each other really well I wanted more of them

@R_Ryder interesting take. I think the whole franchise just kind of sucks.

First game was too edgy with this depressing dull protag, second they overcorrected and the characters were too wacky.

Third game, they just blanked off and had no protag. Also bad. they cant win, I think they should trash the series

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Hexe Out in 2026, More Linear Than Open World

@somnambulance I'm with ya! Yeah I dont think I would have finished it if it wasnt a launch title, I was aching for stuff to play after Demon Souls and Miles Morales and just ploughed on with it.

AC Red has a lot to do to make up for some of these weaker elements, but any preview coverage I've read so far sounds a lot like they haven't learnt any lessons at all. I'll keep my fingers crossed though

@Supern0va I agree with that, the compartmentalisation of the story was a fun idea I thought, different Kings and characters to meet in each section. I also liked the future story in Valhalla for the first time in a while, I personally enjoyed how it paid off.

Yeah Viking stuff is probably more interesting to me also, I thought the egyptian stuff was dull and yeah, similar to you I skipped Odyssey.

@Fyz306903 I think at the time the stories seemed sweeping and interesting. replaying DE for the first time in 20 years really made me realise how far story in games has come over 2 decades though.

I think 2 still has the best narrative. 3 is interesting and a bit different although the open world gameplay wasnt great

I honestly think these titles haven't age well, gameplay wise and story wise.

I think it was impressive at the time, but comparable to actual gangster movies and newer games, the storys pretty average. And the gameplay is very dull 2 decades later.

3s an outlier and just kind of a bad game.

A full reboot is how I'd do it. Or just shelf the series.
