    1. Sooooo. Im just hearing of this game just now. Anyone wanna give me a rundown of what the game is meant to be about?

    2. The only problem is both Creative Director Clint Hocking and now the Director Benoit also leaves. But we also get Jean Guesdon which to me, knows and understands Assassin’s Creed more than anyone, and his involved AC games are my favourite games as well. His comeback to the franchise is a very needed blood that is for course-correcting.

      If this is his doing over changing the direction of AC to a more traditional sense of single player focused titles instead of live service titles, I’m all for it. An overhaul of reinvigoration where the core of this franchise coming back to its senses is a much needed change, and I’m kind of seeing it through Black Flag Resynced. Ditching the bad stuff from the RPG games (Dialogue choices, bad bland facial animations and always ongoing non-ending non-credits story etc) and keeping what is good that is introduced by it (quest system, locomotion movement overhaul, advanced parkour with simple modern button scheme, exploration mode, immersive mode, observe mode etc.)

      But that also doesn’t mean this franchise needs to sugarcoat its games into a just entertaining casual light stories, I don’t want that. It needs to be brave with their stories, telling both light and fun stories as well as dark and enticing, maybe gritty stories as well, not canceling very intriguing stories because of the fear of backlash (looking at you Project Nebula that is about American Civil War apparently).

      We just want what had been working for this franchise: fun and done stories that is entertaining in full, not online-focused live service elemented hide-behind level systems MMO-lite games. You can make Witcher 3 type of side quests, main quests but the presentation of it needs to be king, look at Horizon Forbidden West, presentation of the stories were amazing and facial animations are very eye-catching.

    3. I’m pretty sure this happened a few months ago when leadership was changed up, it’s weird we are hearing this one day after the reveal trailer, almost seems like they waited so this could be a hit piece.

    4. Just about the time you posted this I was thinking “what’s up next for AC?” because that Black Flag info got me hyped. This is a clear sign that my excitement for AC ends with the Black Flag remake.

      The concept for this one sounds so lame. Terrible idea for an Assassins Creed game.
