Creed is Good

The hype is warranted. From their time with Assassin's Creed, Screen Play would not be surprised if it is game of the year. They spent a gripping day last week playing the game and chatting to effervescent Creative Director, Patrice Desilets.

Patrice says there are two elements to Assassin's Creed - the formal missions and "the toy".

When Screen Play finally grabbed the joypad, they could instantly understand what Patrice was talking about. Whether leaping across rooftops, scaling the heights, swan diving from towers or just annoying innocents by barging into them, knocking over their market stalls and causing them to drop items like pots, Assassin's Creed is enormous fun to just tool around with.

Im already sold on this game...haha..it's between this Game and Uncharted for GOTY..IMO..!!

mesh16773d ago

this game blow uncharted out of the water any day better grap[ics a 30hr game and hundreds of characters at the screen at 1 time uncharted is garabge run and gun shooter dont compare it to game of the year cause it has no chance

Twizlex6773d ago (Edited 6773d ago )

Personally, I think GOTY is going to be between this and Mass Effect. They are the only two games I'm excited enough about that I'm buying them on day one. Usually I wait a few weeks to snatch them on the cheap online, or just rent them, but these two have stolen my lunch money for sure.

Edit: Somebody obviously doesn't think this game is all that good. We ALL got disagrees, hahaha!

Snukadaman6773d ago

Some of us are already getting it...no need too hype it up anymore homie....and it wasnt me that disagree'd.

Relientk776773d ago

i have been sold on this game since 2006 when i first heard of it .... i really really really really really really really really want this game lol

Dr Pepper6773d ago

This game looks awesome. I'm looking forward to trying out this style of stealth in a game.

Maddens Raiders6773d ago (Edited 6773d ago )

believe it or not, but I'm interested to see the final results and reviews. Not really my type of action game. I need loads of blood, limbs, screams, and gore (GoW, HS, Conan, Manhunt, the Darkness) to go along with it and from what I've seen this game is heavy on the stealth and escapist tactics, but not high on the bloodletting-onslaught of an "invincible hero". Ya know? I know a ton of you love it, but I'm definitely outside looking in on this one; hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Can't wait for PS3vs.360 screen comparisons - what a *fun day that will be. <------------sarcasm

sanderFVCKINcohen6773d ago (Edited 6773d ago )

Why do people like gore games....ex Manhunt(THE WEAKEST AZZ GAME EVER). The only game ill like playing with gore in it is GoW...thats it. Limbs, bloody, and screamss??? how is that fun????

Panthers6773d ago

It adds a lot of satisfaction to the game. Watching a body fall over does not do much, but watching blood pour out and limbs fly is... well... its just fantastic! Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling ya know?

Maddens Raiders6773d ago (Edited 6773d ago )

everyone's opinions? I am expressing my opinion and bias towards games with blood and violence, and please don't forget about the gore =]. Are you implying that because I play games like [that] or watch movies like [that], then somehow (in your view) I'm inclined to behave like Jefferey Dahmer? Is it really? Because if so then that's just (((sad)))

Again, this game looks good (not as good compared to Drake's) but the content/theme is the area that turns me off: run, hide, sneak, attack, run, hide, sneak do something mechanical, sneak, attack, run, hide, perform puzzle and beat, sneak, do something mechanical, run, hide attack........ Make sense?

sanderFVCKINcohen6773d ago

but, that does not make sense, cuz Assasins Creed is much more than hide, sneak, attack, mechanical or whatever you stated.

psycho3606773d ago

I guess if gore's is your fetish than check out the latest version of Soldier of fortune. http://www.n4g.com/News-772...

Anyway back to the topic. AC looks nice and hopefully it should deliver on the hype. Keeping fingers crossed for positive reviews.

Ex-Assassin's Creed Boss Sues Ubisoft Over Alleged Forced Firing

In 2025 Marc-Alexis Côté, the head of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and a 20 year veteran of Ubisoft, abruptly left the publisher following the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

lukasmain217d ago

"Ubisoft was uncomfortable with the backlash surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows' Black samurai protagonist and concerned that the current political climate in America was too fraught."

They are so stupid. There was never a racist backlash to a black protagonist in Assassin's Creed, there was just a backlash because you wanted to have a 7foot black Samurai running around in ancient Japan when you should have had a Japanese local. (I haven't played the game yet, but I plan on it after I finish Ghost Of Yotei)

An Assassin's Creed based just after the American Civil War about a former slave being an Assassin and fight the KKK would have been freakin' EPIC. Something different story-wise in the Assassin's Creed universe. It would have been awesome. When I originaly read this rumor, I felt a bit of a gut punch because that is a game I would have loved to have played. Then I rolled my eyes when I read about Ubisoft's concerns. What a joke.

Were you worried of the fact that the early members of the KKK (after the Civil War) were predominantly Southern Democrats? Is that it? Im joking. But having a Black protagonist, WHERE IT MAKES SENSE, like after the Civl War, is no problem whatsoever. It's a slice from another time that I can't remember playing a game like that before. A former Black slave?. The game could have been really cool. I'm bummed they won't be making this one.

There is nothing “EPIC” about assassins creed dude…

lukasmain216d ago

Well THIS idea for a game could have been. I mean I take your point. I've always been a sucker for Platinuming Assassin Creed games. I do them all, but NONE of them have ever been my GOTY. They're more like a guilty pleasure, similar to the Far Cry games

_Decadent_Descent216d ago

"But having a Black protagonist, WHERE IT MAKES SENSE"

You are aware that Yasuke was a real African samurai in Japan, no? How is a telling of his story (albeit a fantastical one) not "where it makes sense"?

FinalFantasyFanatic216d ago

I honestly think the concept of this game really could have worked, having said that, I don't trust Ubisoft to actually execute it in a satisfying way.

senorfartcushion216d ago

There was a backlash.

Americans are very vocal online and now there are police forces hunting foreign-looking people in the streets to deport them - even if they are actual Americans.

Companies are worried about selling “wokeness” to this population of 350+ million.

Then there are countries that are starting to move away from wokeness, to a more racially exclusive “whites only” traditional, like Poland, The UK and The Netherlands.

That’s a lot of sales, and though nations are becoming racist, it’s clear that big corporations only care about money and will sell what they think those countries will accept.

chrisx215d ago

Saying there was never a racist backlash just shows how ignorant you are.

lukasmain215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

It wasn't a racist backlash. Maybe a few poeple, but the overwhleming majority was not a racist backlash. You thinking there was just shows how ridiculous you are and how warped your mind is.

Running around and killing the KKK and former confederates has been done to great effect in Red Dead Redemption 2.

It would be fun to play that with historical accuracy while debunking the lost cause mythos.

Such a wonderfully ripe opportunity. What a shame.

wesnytsfs216d ago

It was a blast in Mafia 3 taking out those racist F#cks.

cbuc1125216d ago

I approve this message!👍

isarai216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

We've had black protagonists before in ac and it wasn't a problem, Bayek, Adéwalé, Aveline, the assassin has always represented the setting they're in, that's why there was so much backlash for shadows, people have been waiting since the first game! for Japan to be represented by some awesome japanese samurai or ninja, and instead we get an african samurai? With the tease for this game starting with the ending of the very first game, and people begging for it for so long, success was handed to them on a silver platter and they decided to pick this one of all the entries to change the formula, it was a dumb move.

Was there a bunch of racist buttholes shouting? absolutely, but a lot of fans complaining were just disappointed to see them finally take on japan only for the protagonist to not even remotely following the same type of lead as LITERALLY EVERY OTHER AC GAME EVER RELEASED!

Couldn't care less about him being black, i always liked yasuke as a mysterious historic figure, and i love him in other media like the anime(underrated soundtrack btw), Samurai Warriors, nioh, etc, but this was a waste of the character imo.

This just screams tone deaf, just like their entire marketing campaign for this game. Whatever! 🤷‍♂️ I got Ghost of Tsushima/yotei now to fill that void

Inverno216d ago

I'm all for people expressing their views and I will defend everyone's right to do so. But I firmly believe that society needs to progress and be more accepting/tolerant and not be so obsessed with how others live their life's because that truth is it isn't affecting your personal life in a negative way, you just think it is. With that said, just as it was necessary to push back on all the annoying sjw stuff we can't forget to push back on all the ignorance coming from the opposite extreme. F*** the KKK and that nazi ish, I say make the game and let it offend em!

-Foxtrot216d ago

Wouldn’t this have made more sense story and setting wise than having a black slave turned Samurai in ancient Japan.

I’d rather have seen this story played out.

-Foxtrot216d ago

But if you had to choose, this idea should have been first

Notellin215d ago

Because we aren't getting both now and that's what is being discussed. Are you able to read and comprehend the words?

ravens52215d ago

Can you read Notellin? "I’d rather have seen this story played out." I asked Foxtrot a question, not you, don't look silly.

FinalFantasyFanatic216d ago

They should have just done this game instead of AC Japan, it would have been receieved much better.

ravens52215d ago

They should've just done both and not change their artistic ideas for losers that talk about Yasuke being in the game more than actual Japanese people. This wasnt the only piece of media he's been in
