Assassin's Creed V: Unity

f it's such a big deal, then the best solution is to boycott the product, not demand the artist to change it so it pleases everybody.

Disagree. People have a right to request Ubisoft change the game; Ubisoft just don't have to listen.

If they didn't want people to talk, comment and criticise, then they could've just released the game having never shown it off beforehand. They clearly don't want to do that, though. They want publicity, and that can be either good or bad. It's how PR works.

Its a bloody game at the end of the day and get totally peed off with the PC brigade . Just like I was with the outcry over RE 5 . Some how its ok to show white zombies in a bad light and blow their brains out, just not black ones . Make one sick really

There`s also an issue of what the story/script writer/actor wanted; you could easily mess up the works with a quick swap job. Especially if they paid a well known actor for the lead.

Video in link above which is well worth a watch. They explain pretty well everything that has been wrong with the series since the start and what they are doing to fix it. I've always loved the concept of AC but they've never got it right, but this looks very promising.

Main points that I picked up:
- Gone back to AC1 investigations, making assassinations a big focus in the game again (finally!) but with more depth to gameplay to make it less repetitive
- Movement fixed so you no longer suddenly 'snap' onto a building and start climbing. This has been resolved by a change to controls
- Stealth has been completely redeveloped so it actually works, actually has a crouch button
- Combat is seen as a fail state, though not actually failing a mission it has been designed to be very difficult with the odds stacked heavily against you
- Failed objectives are no longer game over, the game will give you a slightly different objective to continue. For example, a eavesdrop mission can turn into a chase if you are detected

Plus coop, obviously. Sounds like they've learnt a lot, looking forward to this.

Delayed till Nov 11 (US) and Nov 13 (UK)

This article confirms a day one patch too, being rushed out the door springs to mind. We are talking about a release date of around eleven weeks away....

[EvilBoris]

Well given that they are doing the closed betas for the game at the moment, something that happened 2 weeks before Watchdogs was launched, I'd say they are probably doing better this time round.

They've pushed it back to the same release date as the 360/Ps3 game, which makes sense really. Especially given the sheer volume of games that are out in sep/oct/november

[PeteJ]

Seems sensible to give Unity more love to get it right, but aren't Ubisoft shooting themselves in the foot?

AC Unity: 11th November
AC Rogue: 11th November
The Crew: November 11th
Far Cry 4: November 18th

That's a ridiculous release schedule, there is no way I'll be done with Unity before FC4 comes out and there's now no way I'll even give The Crew a chance. That's four open world games in a week from one publisher. FOUR!

[Neon Ignition]

They should push The Crew back into next year. Too many games at once even from themselves and The Crew seems poised to get drowned out even just by Horizon 2, DriveClub and Project Cars.

[VR46]

I'm sure at least one of them (probably The Crew) will get delayed or moved back before we get to November. Looking like a very expensive month at the moment.

I'm gonna flip out at the next Tomb Raider / Mirrors Edge game if they don't have a strong male lead. I also want a game where I play as a strong transgender role model to keep another percentage happy.

I understand equality but if you don't like something as it is, find something you do like. There has been plenty of games with strong female leads. I genuinely just think people like having something to moan about and want to start a movement every 5 minutes to give themselves something to feel good about....*cough* Ice bucket Challenge....

The pinnacle of Assassin's Creed

So the PS4 version has been capped at 900p/30fps to "avoid debates and stuff" on which console version is best. Needless to say, this has kicked off many debates!
