New Ubisoft survey talks next Assassin’s Creed title, could ship next year with co-op

[gangsta_795]

Ubisoft has sent out a new survey in which it probes potential routes of development for the next Assassin’s Creed title.

The survey asks a series of questions, questions that cover the release of Assassin’s Creed III, general satisfaction with gameplay/combat/sequences/story arch, as well as probing for interest in potential features for a future Assassin’s Creed game. The survey also attempts to gauge participants interest in potential future outings with Desmond, the general interest in Connor returning for another title and even a potential re-visit to the Revolution/Frontier.

One survey question is directly engineered to asses sparticipants interest in potential co-op features in a future title and specifically asks if gamers would like the “possibility for a friend to join the game in order to help” with missions, puzzles and more.



Another question aims to find out whether a yearly release would be welcomed:



Ubisoft also asks those participating in the survey to rate their experiences with other franchises too:



Would you like to see co-op in the next Assassin’s Creed game? Or would you like to see a greater inspiration taken from games like Uncharted 3?

Ubisoft, wat r u doin? Ubisoft! Stahp!

Looks like there going to do a A.C 2 sub release as in Brotherhood and Revelations spin offs thought I didnt mind Brotherhood I did think Revelations really should of been a full add on I am currently playing it and I am a little bored of it more so than AC2 and AC:BH.

Looks like that's what they're trying to do. Will certainly kill the franchise though.

I'm skeptical but open minded.

Tbh the franchise seemed killed when they began releasing yearly instalments, this time they were saved due to the ACIII but i don't know whether this whole yearly instalment thing will work, it'll be a case of COD but without the sales numbers.

Dude AC was so fresh when it first hit the market... I bought it day 1 but played it this year (played the entire franchise this year). But it seems they're thinking of destroying the game.

I'm a very open minded person. I like the DMC reboot, and I love the new coop feature of Dead Space 3. I could think of a coop in an AC game - could work. But only online-coop, no splitscreen. Like Dead Space 3.

I'd want to see another game with Connor. He was a GREAT character. I loved the difference in his personality: so humble and nice to people, a sense for justice and respect for every single life, grounded to nature and all that stuff, but on the other hand he could be very rage-filled, and extremely brutal. But he was an Assassin with mercy. Altair didn't have much mercy when it came to Templar informants or spies... He always killed them. Ezio killed most Templars but wasn't 100% without mercy. But Connor had mercy. I liked this contrast between humble/grounded to nature/nice and just to everyone/helps wherever he can and brutal/rage/vengeance/killing-machine but WITH mercy.

In my opinion, Connor gets too much hate. He is very different, but not any less cool or likeable than Ezio or Altair. Connor needs a second game in my opinion. Oh and by the way - I LOVED Haytham Kenway. What a GREAT character. One of the most interesting characters ever created in video games in my opinion. I'd like to see much more of his life. SPOILER ABOUT AC3:

Haytham was an Assassin before I think - at least Shaun writes that in the E-Mails. He's got two hidden blades and knows Assassin fighting technics... but then he became a Templar. I'd like to see that. Make a game about Connor, but do it kinda like in Revelations where Connor has DNA-flashbacks to his father's life (Ezio didn't have DNA flashbacks, cause he's not a descendent of Altair - he simply activated Altair's memory discs - where did he get them by the way, they're clearly first civilization technology - because he has a greater infusion of first civ DNA and thus can activate most devices made by the first civ) so we can see more of Haytham too. I was kinda dissappointed how the Connor-Haytham "relationship" ended. I expected something different, or at least a better execution of the events. It wasn't bad, but "Good bye, father" and that's it? Come on!

Connor needs a second game IMO. Flashbacks to Haytham's earlier life before AC3 would be cool (flashbacks through Connor's DNA) and all that stuff. I want more Connor. He could become my favourite of all the three Assassin's we could play (I didn't include Desmond) so far if he got a second game where we see even more of his personality and motives. There were some plotholes in AC3 IMO. There's still a lot to be told about Connor (and Haytham too).

New AC? Bring it on!
