Give me a proper remake of Koudelka or Galerians, and make Fighting Layer (1998) available officially, who cares about this uninspired slop.
“The Assassin’s Creed franchise evolved into the household name it is thanks to rare, or at least rare-among-AAA, support for risk-taking at Ubisoft”
Fucking lol.
“No, no, hear me out. It’s exactly the same game. The same thing we make every single time. But this time, it’s in… Egypt.”
“Holy shit! What a maverick! Who is that guy? I like the way he thinks. Give him a corner office and the same budget we gave the Greece one!”
“Forever brand” really has “forever chemicals” vibes.
That and the risktaking bit give the headline two rofl’s
“This franchise will never have a meaningful conclusion, but I hope you gave up on that nonsense by the end of Black Flag”
You have to be pretty deep in the Kool-Aid to think that ubisoft has “taken risks” with Assassins Creed.
Assassin’s Creed’s shift to open-world RPGs would never have happened at many companies, Alex Hutchinson says
Literally everyone and their mother could have expected this change. It’s literally the one single way AAA studios have been padding gameplay and time for a decade and a half now.
Ubisoft codified a certain style of open world design that many other AAA releases were using as a template. He’s right, you can’t deny the impact the franchise had.
Oh yeah, climbing a tower to unlock a part of the map is so innovative, especially after the 15th fucking time they used it.
They came from toothpas?
C’est frainçaise
Looks like the title got cut off.
“Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies”
And the title should have been much shorter.
Yup, it should be “Ubisoft claims Assassin’s Creed games are innovative.”
Ubisoft took one risk back in the mid-late 2000s and have been riding that safety wave ever since with asscreed. They’re not the last people who should be pointing fingers at other publishers for playing it too safe and releasing formulaic games, but damn if they aren’t next-in-line for that honor.
The Assassin’s Creed franchise nowadays seems more like one of those slushy machines at the mall that perpetually move the same ingredients around in a neverending cycle of despair and stagnation.
Assassin’s Creed is about equivalent to Colgate, I guess.
Oh yeah, these terrible execs from other companies who veto female protagonists on principle, insist on implementing the same list of a thousand terrible features in all games regardless of genre, and harass their employees while being protected by HR and the CEO.
Wait, no, those are not the bad ones. You know the bad ones because they’ve worked for toothpaste companies.
Toothpas?
Like gamepass, but tooth
