Why Assassin's Creed Is Just Now Getting Co-Op

the game is awesome and i was looking forward to play coop

but i don't have any 'assassin' friends.

someone in for pc coop?

I dont want to play with three other dudes, I want to play alone.

um, thats awesome.

Competitive multiplayer in ass creed is stupid. U walk around and hide until you see someone and you press circle or b.

Its not goddamn riveting.

This game looks badass, the style, the enterable buildings, the parkour. Then again i buy every assassins creed game. Its just plain fun. Not everyones kinda fun, but more then some.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm no comment

Less and less hard work, more and more milking expectations.

...Their doom is nigh.

Because The setting allows it "The Third Musketeers"!

will the coop be cross platform? I own an X1, but a friend of mine will play on PC! Will we be able to play coop together?

Sounds like everything is "hard to do" for Ubisoft. Such as having a female main character and female co-op characters.

Awesome!!

So, co-op is great and all, but, Unity "will not have a competitive multiplayer mode." What??? Talk about milking the franchise... Next year they will announce the return of multiplayer in the next AC game but unfortunately won't include co-op. -_-

@tableofjapan Suffice it to say, the paint job is not the most complicated process in creating a sportscar.

I have never played any AC game for more than 15 minutes, and never have I bought one for myself. As much as I liked the combat and free movement, I just get so bored playing single player in any game.

So for me personally, I love the idea of co-op in AC: Unity. It will be the first AC game I've ever owned, and it's definitely my #1 anticipated game for 2014/2015 thanks to co-op.

Good work Ubisoft, you've found a way to get someone who's never played, to play. And on PC no less!

I love the AC series, i really do, it has replaced my true love Resi Evil,

but i am very sceptical about this choice.

When you use co op, two active players, playing simultaneously, you have to craft the game with a whole new approach, you need to make the players work in synergy, by rewarding them when they do so.

to achieve that, the players must be flawed individually, so the one will complement the other and indiviudual effort, would be less effective.

It needs a lot of effort and investment, so the system is profound enough and in most of the case, the SP experienced is put in second fate.

This was the beginning of the end for the Resi series...

This is why it lost its atmosphere, the unique horror elements and turned into a generic souless action game.

For many, the AC was apreciated for what it was, a magnifisent SP experience, when a player could take his time and play as much when he liked, how he liked and as much as he liked.

To impose playing with other players impose issues, esp not in the US, where internet issues affect gaming performance/experience and older ppl, who tend to have a life and cannot be available for their virtual friends 24/24h...

I bet you'll need co-op for full sync in certain missions.

When I think of Assassin's. I think of 4 player co-op w/ voice chat running about stealing kills.

It was inevitable.

"Because it's easier to copy-paste male avatars than to have to make female ones. That sh!t is hard!"

I'd rather have split screen co-op.

All of Ubisoft's future games seem to be focused around multiplayer, so I hope they'll improve the quality instead of it ending up being a tacked-on addition to attract more customers like usual.

I like taking my time in this kind of game so no way i m playing the story mode in coop with people always trying to rush to get to the next action sequence.

It's easy really, their games start to sell less so they need something new to attract us back

Because the game wasn't easy enough ...
