New Assassin's Creed Next Year, Will Have Multiplayer
Ubisoft has announced that the next stand-alone Assassin's Creed title will come out next year, and it will be the first in the series to come with an online multiplayer mode. The company also said it will be "shoring up its focus on competitive AAA core titles on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3" in the coming year, making mention of upcoming releases for the Tom Clancy game series and a new Prince of Persia title.
Because the one thing I hate more than anything else is having to decide whether to play a new game, instead of the latest version of the game franchises that I've already committed to.
Mind you, there's still a bit too much choice in the market. Assassin's Creed is way too much like Prince of Persia for my tastes. Couldn't they combine them in some way so that I don't have to make any choice at all? And just call it Jumpy Swingy Stabby so that I know what I'm getting?
Likewise with having to decide between Tom Clancy versus Metal Gear - why not just make Sneaky Snappy Shooty?
Come on, games industry, get with the program. There's no need for all this confusing, infuriating choice and originality! Just give us more of what we already like, every year, forever. Where's my Drive Pimp Murder Drive 2010?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
So, does that mean they are going to call this one "Assassins' Creed", then?
sic transit gloria mundi
Also Assassins Creed's usual running, jumping and climbing in a large city would make a great races with other players.
Oh good. Let's take the most irritating part of the game, and add a 13 year old with a headset.
