Ubisoft Announces New Assassin's Creed With Multiplayer

[Orcus The Ultimate]

unless they do a multiplayer like the events of the Carnaval, or some stuff like that i would be against multi for this game.

also they do whatever they like... it's our responsability to either buy it or not cause consumers boycottism is the only tool we have to express ourselves...

i sense huge changes to combat if they are planning on doing versus multiplayer

What the hell is with the obsession with multiplayer these days?

The co-op multi-player isn't a big deal but Jesus Christ that game ended with Desmond, and for the series to be awesome and end awesome it needs to end next game with you playing as Desmond. What else would they need to learn in the past? Playing through Ezio's memories would just be a waste of time while outside is real world threat of the modern Templars.

But what about the pyramids, and everything Desmond needs to do? This makes no sense.

 

[Lullabye]

The versus should be....interesting? I dunno, I'll still try it. I'm a versus freak after all....

 

[Shycte]

Co-Op could be cool...

Versus.... Pfff, can't end well.

I hear you, I only play single player with the exception of Aliens vs Predator when it comes out.
I really hope the games industry isn't starting to concentrate more on Multi player than Single player.

I have the PC Version, and the combat sequences are more Button Mashing than anything else. I am hoping for drastic increase in user ability, not just spamming the Attack Buttons. Otherwise, any verses match will come down to who has the better equipment and can press buttons faster.

Wow, this will suck horribly. Just one year of development, and some of that spent doing multiplayer. Plus, I wanted another age, 17th century england would have been perfect.

I expect metacritic ratings to average maybe 60/100.

How are you goning to stealthkill another player, when the player knows you're there and your costume points you out like a burning pillar in a cornfield.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

As long as they don't focus on it like what happens with every other game.

Maybe they will have disguises?

But...but...but...no new time period? Come on! Forward, not backward! Upward, not downward...twirling, always twirling towards freedom...

Seriously though...same person, same period, kinda ruins the whole uniqueness of the Assassin's games...oh well...when a cow gives milk, it must keep being milked.

Is it just me, or do games that are established as good or well selling seem to jump into the thought that they need to add multiplayer? How can you assassinate when your target(s) know you're on the way?

But going to the point of the total of sales, I think it's because people liked AC1, but the grind was a huge problem, so they had to see if AC2 fixed it, which it did (apperantly, haven't played AC1 but have started AC2 and am enjoying all it offers) It seems to me that if a game is the first in a series, unless it gets a LOT of hype from the media and from critics, it usually gains power slowly. But tag a number onto a known game and it sells extremely quick, no matter how good or bad the game is. How high they can go with numbers depends on the quality of the game and the level of their fanbase.

But from what AC2 did compared to what I've heard about the upgrades from AC1, it seems that Ubisoft is doing well in the "fix-our-mistakes" section by removing repetitiveness and adding a lot of things.

WTF! Back into Italy? It was great and fun but AGAIN!? Then what's gonna happen to Desmond? They just gonna end the third one with a cliff-hanger? They said it was going to be a trilogy, so making it in Italy eliminates a chance that we'll actually get a futuristic assassin experience... I supported AC1, then AC2, but if they just gonna make a sloppy end... I don't know, goddamnit... They better make it good!

It's not the third one. It's like an expansion to the second. The first game had one, but it only came out on PSP.

In fact, read the article guys, it announces 2 games. That one, and a third Assassins Creed.

Oh, well excuse me then o.o

Hey, I beat you to it.

Anyway, as I said in that thread, it could be a lot of fun. The co-op. I don't know how versus would work, but playing tag would be fun. And pulling off a huge scale assassination with two people would be so cool. Timing it to take out two guards watching each other and so on. Then you get to argue about who takes out the target.

Actually it sounds like announcing one game, AC3, "Ezio 2".
Where will the ACTUAL Ac3 be set?
