Survey Hints That Assassin's Creed 3 Will Be Awesome

[KorLeonis]

I just want the story to progress so we can get to the final game as soon as possible, where I expect we'll have Desmond freerunning in a metropolis, using a variety of weapons and modern freerunning innovations. I want to see the end of this story, damnit.

Also, a variety of grenades wouldn't be the slightest bit efficient unless they drastically change the game's desgin.

That's what I've been hoping for too. Ezio's story and setting were cool and all, but the whole point of AC2 is for Desmond to be learning these skills to use in the modern world. So, he's got the mojo now, we know where the artifacts are, let Desmond go take on the modern Templars.

I'd like any of these, really. My top 3 are new assassin, enhanced eagle vision and more multiplayer maps.

I have to say that I am loving the multiplayer in Brotherhood. It's original and actully takes some skills, unless you are using the pistol your cheating basterd.

But it will take a miricale to save the wreak that is Assasin's Creeds story.

I agree with this 100%. The cliffhangers are starting to get to me, plus the entirety of Desmond's story has been a mess pretty much since the first. Each assassin he visits however doesn't have to suffer the same fate. Ezio's story in AC2 was just brilliant.

1, 2, 5, 6, and 9 are all interesting concepts that I really think Ubisoft should give a try. Particularly the co-op(offline or otherwise), I really want to see them come up with some fiendishly difficult assassinations that can't be done without perfect coordination between players.

Ubisoft should also pursue 6 and move the story forward to another iconic time period - I feel Victorian England would be perfect. Dark atmosphere, tall and iconic architecture...

So much focus on multiplayer makes me a bit concerned. They seem to have got the balance right in AC:B - single player first and foremost, multiplayer as an extra. Hopefully they can keep the balance and not fuck it up by short-changing the single player for the sake of multiplayer like so many games do these days.

Thank you. You have restored my faith in the human race.

I want to go back even further to an earlier time period (Assassin's Creed with Vikings and Indians anybody?).

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

I´m not in the demographic, eh? then i better not play the game...

 

[Section Crow]

Enhanced eagle vision and a new assassin preferably female this time to mix things up a little, maybe a little crafting in it.

all in all, this survey is a damn good idea.

Personlly, I think that the problem is these whole Piece of Eden/Old Gods/more shit. If the focus where on the war between Assasins and Templars it would be much better.

Also, I didn't like Ezios story, he didn't feel like a Assasin like Altair did.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Don't want to see the guard patrol paths

Part of the thrill of silently wiping out a district's worth of guards (both the street level groups and the lone rooftop archers) was watching everyone for a while until I worked out how to get them alone

I'd like to do SOME of the work myself

"4) Tactical use of a variety of bombs suited to unique contexts and situations (smoke, poison, flash, explosive, etc.)"

This never works out... What is the real difference between poison and explosive for example?
They still die either way. And flash and smoke also have the same goal?

Example; who used the poison attack in AC2?

Loads of times, used it more in brotherhood once I had the dart but still used it.

I haven't played Brotherhood yet, but yeah, all this magic and aliens business is intruding on the old-timey feel of ancient Italy.

The Codex was a really immersive method of storytelling, but that's as far as it should have gone. The pieces of Eden just push the WTF limit.

 

[Tharwen]

What? I don't meet their demographic?!

Curse you, Ubisoft! Curse you and your targeted marketing!

1) An upgrade to the assassin's blade that increases the fluidity and speed of free-running

Oh no...

They're trying to add a grappling hook... Everyone run! Save yourselves! The realistic physics in this area has just dropped to a dangerously low level!

The thing about the Assassin Creed games is that they are easy. You can play them in a variety of different ways, whether its reasonable or not.

Honestly, a person would have absolutely no fun if they just ran at the targets each time they play. Sometimes getting creative is pretty neat.

OT: All sounds good, just don't make it about Ezio. Its getting a bit ridiculous, seeing how he reasonably is considered a Senior at the beginning of Brotherhood. Not many people were active during their forties back then.

Totally agree.

Holy Artefacts and all is okay, but this alien thingy.... Come on Ubisoft. You used to be cool.

 

[videocrazy]

Odd that when I pick the country I live in, it seems to think I picked the UK.

 

[Dak_N_Jaxter]

Sure.
Hell Yeah.
Couldn't hurt.
Yep.
U-Huh.
Japan!
Scoot-lund!
Sick.
Yes.
Yes.
Tick.
NO CLUTTER!
Of-course.
Don't make it too heavy handed on RPG-esk statistics, and it could be applicable.
Affirmative.

 

[Piflik]

1, 2, 5 and 6. The Rest is superfluous...

Edit: Oh...and the new time period would be French Revolution.

 

[Captain Pancake]

number 5 sounds bitchin'.

 

[Horben]

All those read like a "features" list on the back of a case.

I'm thinking that these aren't so much new features as voting on the captions that are most likely to sell you the game.

 

[amoamaremetallum]

I liked most things APART from the bomb-mechanic. It seems like it's going to start being a really silly minecraft thing. I don't want to rely on bombs, barely to even use them.

I think that for a nice little change of pace, how about you have ONE specific focus ancestor (i.e. ezio or someone else) and then build off of other assassins in history? Maybe a few small sections or (if you want to be a real buzzkill) linear sections where you fight as another assassin in a COMPLETELY different time.

I do think the game needs to build on the whole old gods/piece of eden thing. Not only does it feel like the main story, but it really is just a fascinating concept. It hasn't been executed well YET, but I'm sure they can do it.
