Assassin’s Creed Revelations – an interview with multiplayer director Damien Kieken

While it might be tempting for some to dismiss Assassin’s Creed Revelations as just another annual add-on to the franchise’s ever-more-complicated story, everything we learn about the game indicates that it’ll bring a slew of interesting gameplay additions and improvements when it arrives this November. If you need proof of that, its multiplayer is an excellent example; rather than simply rehashing the unique, hunt-and-be-hunted gameplay from Brotherhood with new characters and maps, it overhauls and fine-tunes everything. Instead of just adding new match types abilities to play around with, it also introduces some surprisingly robust community features, as well as a complete storyline for players to follow. In short, it’s showing a lot of promise.

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

Follow the Leader.

You were never the leader bro 🤣

I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting

Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.
