IGN writes: "This is the year of quick turnaround sequels. Games like Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed are getting follow-ups just a year after their release. The big innovation of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a new multiplayer mode that lets several players act as assassins at once. But there is also a full single-player mode that serves as the true sequel to Assassin's Creed II. Ubisoft says the campaign should take about 15 hours to play through. It may end up being "more Assassin's Creed II" (aesthetically it looks just like it), but as a huge ACII fan I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. We have a few new features of the single-player game to report".
"Hello everyone, we have more details to share concerning the upcoming decommissioning of online services affecting several AC titles, including additional information regarding the DLC for these titles."
When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.
The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Ubisoft came out with the announcement that some of their classic titles are shutting down their servers. While this is not entirely surprising, the next bit is quite shocking. As Ubisoft states in regard to many of said classic games, “additionally, the installation and access to DLC will be unavailable”.
The wording is a little vague, so the actual paid DLC could be safe. But it doesn’t change the fact that multiplayer modes of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Rayman Legends, and Driver San Francisco will surely be missed. Especially since no alternative exists in many of those cases. This happens to unveil right next to our story where I essentially beg Atlus to port SMT to modern consoles alongside Persona.
Seems like videogame preservation is on the down-low…"
And you want us to go all digital? This is the bull sh*t that makes me apprehensive to an all digital future. You corpo guys don’t understand game preservation or it’s importance.
Companies who withdraw support should be legally made to patch games to enable the 'owner' to create and host their own MP lobbies. This is theft
Assassin's Creed multiplayer hasn't been a thing for well over half a decade. That's a good reason to bring it back.
Hey, can we get an Assassin's Creed game without 10+ year old controls that are outdated and filled with bugs that gets ignored that includes progress breaking bugs from launch that aren't fixed even months after launch?
If you an assassin's like MP mode, I'd recommend Ghost of Tsushima Legends instead.
