Assassin's Creed: Ezio Collection Coming to Consoles

Ubisoft have already announced that they won’t be putting a new installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise on the market this year. This will be the first time in many, many years when Assassin’s Creed’s legion of fans worldwide won’t get to play their favorite game. We do however, know for some time that they …

I'm a big AC fan but the last two locations i just didn't care for at all. I purchased them day one and even beat them but those location i just wasn't feeling. Like to see Egypt China Japan and maybe even the wild west of american

KiwiViper852807d ago

The pic isn't Ezio. And both Ezio and Trilogy are spelt wrong, haha.

thatguyhayat2807d ago

Lool good im not the only one who noticed

rostcommunity2807d ago

Pic was fixed, but N4G got the wrong version apparently.

Mr_Luke2807d ago

Yeah, the pic (now) is from Rogue, that's Shay Patrick Cormack. I liked the game, but it's a Black Flag copy in the end, besides the story.

And i loved the Ezio trilogy!!

LoveSpuds2807d ago

No matter what your feelings on remasters/collections, you would have to admit there is a hell of a lot of game for the money here. My OCD 'collect everything on the map' would have me playing these for months.

cemelc2807d ago

You can get all 3 for nothing on pc

LoveSpuds2807d ago

I like to game on my PS4 thanks, sat in my lounger in front of my 65" TV earning trophies is heaven to me.

Becuzisaid2807d ago

@lovespuds but the 4k's, man. All those beautiful k's...

WeAreLegion2807d ago

My PC is in my living room with my consoles and they're attached to a 140" projector. Is this a pissing contest?

JunMei2807d ago

@Love Spuds
Ummm, you know you can play these games on a PC connected to the tv, right? And, if you REALLY want to play with a PS4 controller, you can just plug one in. you can also sync it with bluetooth and use a program to allow it to be used in everything. Or you can use any number of input methods you desire.

So, you can spend what would probably be 3 games for $40-60, or you can buy them all on PC for $15 the next time they go on sale.

What is up with console gamers' ignorance about PC gaming? PC gives you options, and you're not tied down to any specific display or input method.

vickers5002807d ago

"And, if you REALLY want to play with a PS4 controller, you can just plug one in. you can also sync it with bluetooth and use a program to allow it to be used in everything."

Except games aren't optimized for ds4 controller use, and can't be unless the developers will it. So playing a game with the ds4 on ps4 vs pc feels COMPLETELY different. The functions still work, sure, but it's nowhere near as precise and doesn't feel the same at all, it just feels like crap.

There's a lot that devs do to make a game feel great with a specific controller, and they don't put that into the pc version of games.

Im super excited for what they are cooking up for the next AC game. Im glad they finally realized yearly releases wasnt doing them any justice. Now with the time and care the next game will recieve, I'm as excited as when they announced AC 2.

As for the Ezio collection, nice way to market the game for those who havent played yet. Good bang for your buck

skulz72807d ago

Exactly my thoughts. I am so happy they have realized that the franchise can really re-live its glory days if they were to use extra time to fully realize the next additions potential. The fact that they are taking the additional year and its supposedly set in Ancient Egypt makes me super excited as Assassins Creed used to be my favorite franchise (AC 2 and AC 4 are phenomenal).

In regards to the collection, I would love to play AC 2 again, perhaps with upgraded visuals and FPS!

XXanderXX2807d ago

So that's AC 2 - Brotherhood - AC 3 - AC Revelations - not a bad bundle if am correct

Liqu1d2807d ago

It's AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations. It even says this in the article.

XXanderXX2807d ago (Edited 2806d ago )

My bad i confused Ezio with the dude with no emotional range .......

Geekman2806d ago

I wouldn't mind if AC3 was in here, but that wouldn't be a trilogy.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

isarai200d ago

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske200d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid199d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot199d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno199d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot199d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface199d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot199d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69199d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake210d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga210d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx210d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga210d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9210d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler210d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666210d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52210d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott209d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52209d ago (Edited 209d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara199d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52210d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner210d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52209d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster210d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot210d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster209d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned210d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9210d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1210d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster209d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
