Has Assassin’s Creed Jumped the Shark for Good?

Next year’s Assassin’s Creed will need a jet ski, a ramp and a shark to bring casual Assassin’s Creed fans back to the table for a tenth helping of historical Sci-fi adventures.

Wrong. They need light sabers, jedi as assassins, siths as templars.

XisThatKid2834d ago

Ate by the shark then got shat out at this point

CorndogBurglar2834d ago

I thought when they started talking about aliens it was the beginning of the end.

TheColbertinator2835d ago

Its time to hit the 20th century head on. The Bolshevik Revolution or the Spanish Civil War.

AlphaCentyros2835d ago

Feudal Japan or Ancient Rome/Egypt and it's an instant buy for me.

From what we've heard from the leaks, its Egypt. Those same leaks also revealed that the other team wasn't going to make a AC this year (though its clear Ubisoft knew that for a few years considering Watch Dogs 2 and all)

I stopped caring after they killed off the main protagonist

Nah. It only needs a great new combat system and some real stealth mechanics.

Idiedgoodbye2835d ago

I always hated that AC was simply an augmented reality within the game.

trouble_bubble2835d ago

They should just do away with the whole abstergo subplot, nix the animus gimmicks and just do good period piece self contained stories. It worked in Assassins Creed Rogue and Liberation.

Idiedgoodbye2835d ago

Agreed it breaks the immersion. Red Dead Redemption worked mabe they should take notes from that as well haha

The Most Badass Video Game Heroines

Xfire opines: "There was a time in video games where female characters were just delicate princesses, a damsel in distress, and had to be saved by a hero. I'm looking at you, Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda. If not a damsel in distress, they were served as eye candy to please the male-dominant gaming space.

But ever since then, video games have come a long way. The new-age video games have witnessed the emergence of heroines who aren't delicates damsels in distress. Heck, even Princess Peach and Princess Zelda have developed so well as independent characters in their universe.

Today, in the spirit of International Women's Day, we're celebrating the most badass video game heroines."

Let’s shit on Mario because peach wasn’t manly enough. Are you saying princesses can’t be victims? Look at Meghan Markle. I heared she just got her 6 million dollar a year allowance taken away. Such tragedy.

jsiddlehfx1164d ago

so many grammatical errors, had to stop reading... "Aveline de Grandpré was the first canon Assassin from the Assassin's Creed franchise." really? the first canon assassin? or first female canon assassin? "You may think I'm an Assassin's Creed for two consecutive entries" hmm... I dont think you're an assassin's creed... but you may be an assassin's creed fan?

NapalmSanctuary1164d ago

There's nothing wrong with eye candy.

The Games We Play 25 Games That Women Actually Enjoy

As you've no doubt already heard, E3 was cancelled twice this year - but this time, it had nothing to do with coronavirus. This was following the social media team's ill-advised decision to share an article from Parade titled "The Games We Play! 25 Online Games That Women Enjoy." So with that in mind, here's some of the favorite titles from the female-aligned writers of GameLuster

Didn’t realize all women like certain types of games...

smashman981351d ago

This is a reaction to another list that popped up that was just a bunch of phone games.

jznrpg1351d ago (Edited 1351d ago )

Women can like any type of game. Why assume that women don’t have a diverse taste in games? My wife doesn’t play games much but she lives all 2D Castlevania games the most

CaptainObvious8781351d ago

You're right of course. Around the world, many different women like many different genres.

But according to statistics, a majority of them like casual and mobile games.

We Will Keep Writing This Article Until Ubisoft Uses These 8 Settings For Assassin's Creed

Twinfinite Writes: The Assassin's Creed series has been all around history at this point, but there are still plenty of time periods that would be a perfect fit for the franchise.

The amount of ACs released, im sure all 8 will eventually be covered hahaha

zerocarnage2137d ago

Yeah although I wouldn't like a wild west one.

I would say the hundred year war would be my favourite and world war settings.

But as mr_cheese says am sure they will all get covered at some point..

I would like a spartacus one most of all though, that would of been there best story for the next assassins creed in my eyes, especially if a good portion of the game was to be captured, be raised in a ludus, fight for freedom in the collesium and raise hordes to kill off the Romans..

Skuletor2136d ago

Even if they used 7 of these, you'd still find a way to make a multiple page article out this topic.

goldwyncq2136d ago

I really don't understand the obsession with a Japanese setting. We already have 3 big games set in Ancient Japan coming out next year, we seriously don't need another one.

Silly gameAr2136d ago

I don't think constantly writing about something is going to change anyone's mind when they already have plans to do something a certain way . It will eventually only make your readers annoyed, and you look obsessive.

rainslacker2135d ago (Edited 2135d ago )

It's twinfinite. All they do is regurgitate the same articles over and over again.

Oh well, at least now we can flag those articles as duplicates, and cite this article as the original source.
