Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies"
www.gamesradar.comAssassin's Creed's shift to open-world RPGs would never have happened at many companies, Alex Hutchinson says
Weird, Assassin’s Creed died with 2 when they fired the creator.
Okay but Black Flag slapped. Maybe not as an AC game per se, but Black Flag was still a greater game.
Black Flag was a mediocre Assassin’s Creed game, at best. It was a phenomenal pirate game
Agreed. Black Flag was awesome. Never finished the story though. Just sailing, singing shanties.
And Rogue. I rarely hear Rogue mentioned but it’s my favourite. I find the story the most appealing, and it comes with so much moral ambiguity.
Gameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.
Being released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.
Is that why the third one never concluded the series as it was originally intended?
Probably more to do with boatloads of money to be made
Sad because 2 is where it hit its stride
