Ubisoft: Gamers want Assassin's Creed every year

Ubisoft Montreal boss Yannis Mallat does not think gamers are turned off by the idea of a new Assassin's Creed game every year.

"The players will tell us. Right now there are more and more coming into the franchise, so I don't see that day."

"It's our breakthrough. When you have quality content, the frequency of coming out with the game is not an issue at all."

"On the contrary, people expect more and more of that content. So it's natural to be able to provide that content. The gamers are happy and it's our job to make them happy."

What a load of sh!t. AC III was far from a quality product.

I sure do.. LOVE AC games!

Is that why you aren't working on Rainbox six :patriots Ubisoft? because you think we need an assassin's creed game every year?

such BS

I don't they bore me now....maybe because they release one every year

I sure do.. LOVE AC games!

I strongly disagree... but then again, I can see where are they coming from. Fact of the matter is, every AC game sold better than its predcessor, and AC3 was a huge commercial success, selling over 10 million copies, I think.

AC3 may have its share of noticeable flaws (it's still a good game, playing it right now), but it brought Ubisoft a lot of money, so it's obvious they got the impression they did things right.

Which one of you bastards said that? 

I enjoyed AC3, but that is the only one i played, well i tried 3hrs of first AC then got bored so i dont count that one:oops:

Oh God, I wish it wasn't that way.

I sure as Hell won't be buying them.

Yearly rehashes is why i don't play the series.

After AC3 I have no interest in the series anymore. Now if they want to go back to the old formula I'm there.

AC III wasn't great, but it's not really all their fault.

There is some truth to it because the sales ARE coming in every year.

I don't mind, one of my favorite franchises.

I am burnt out oun Assassins Creed.  I am skipping IV.

Assasins creed is declining and will never reach those sales lelvels. They had a chance with Assasin3, however, they ruined their own hype with that one after launch,charizard1605

They sell well because the games are easy to play and it appeals to large amounts of people who don't do well in video games and children.  I personally don't like them story all ways takes to long to get into(The begining is a chore) and I hate the idea of being able to go the majority of the game juts one hitting everyone.

People keep buying them, that's why, too obvious Ubisoft, gee.

AC is the new COD

Both games are fun and is why people keep buying them

I do not want an Assassin's Creed game every year. I enjoy Assassin's Creed I and II, but III is underwhelming. I would like more effort put into improving the game system and I understand the length of time between each game's release because of the additional effort.

Well he's not wrong. System Wars does not represent the average consumer. The average consumer is impatient, quickly bored of things, and wants something "new" regardless if it has a big change. See: Call of Duty/Apple products. Sucks for us the minority who likes changes in their games but oh well what can you do.tagyhag

Exactly what are those changes you speak of? they already do major changes in each AC game and i know that because i played and finished all AC games in two weeks and each game improved so much from the previous game.

besides says the girl who plays DOTA or league of legends :P.. those games and most Strategy PC games are exactly the same, one is little bit more difficult than the other or one has a little higher monthly fee than the other or one has more lighting attacks while the other dosent :P

Brilliant, here have an internet

This game would have the same issue if it came out every year.. you'd gamers crying how their tired of it just like any other game.. "but teh im tired wah wah i want more Tomb Raider" and so on.. its just a never ending cycle.

Well DOTA has had 2 games and the sequel came out roughly 7 years later. League of Legends is a different game by a different company. :P

And PC strategy games are only exactly the same if you don't play any of them. If you were to tell a PC gamer that Starcraft was the same as Europa Universalis they'd laugh all day. 

Having played all the Assassin's Creed games, (Except for Liberation which I don't think would be silly to assume that it handles like an Assassin's Creed game) I say that while changes were there, the core still remains the same for all of them. The biggest change was from AC to AC 2 (Which made the game go from a repetitive turd into a fantastic game). After that....There weren't any big changes, and the changes they did made were either half-assed or sucked.

Also, there's been 5 main Assassin's Creed (So not even counting the spinoffs) games in 5 years. That's great for those who love more of the same thing, (Like CoD fans and Dynasty Warriors fans) but not so great if someone wanted something different from the series. (For example, you will never find anyone who loathed AC 2 and loved Brotherhood)

is that why you aint making driver 7 or zombi u 2 ,  or red steel 3 ?  is  that why r6 patriots got pushed back ? meh  ac sucks i dont know what to do with the game all i do is walk around try finding the plot its just boring 

unless you make the next ac game more like gta and not like et  where your cluless as to what to do and where to go half the time  please shut up ubisoft no one wants ac every year,  just like we are sick of call of duty every year now id like a driver or gta every year , thats a pill i can swallow or a marioparty/mario  lol

I personally need a break after AC3, if I ever return. I'm going to wait for the series next big hit. AC3 was disappointing so I'm out until something AAA comes out.

I love that they mention "as long as the quality holds up." It won't, and it hasn't.

Not this gamer, ubisoft

I never could get into Assassin's Creed, it *looks* good but whenever I play it I just get bored, funny thing is I enjoyed the first one the most even though it's regarded as the worst one by many, I think I enjoyed it because it was somthing fresh at the time, running from guards on rooftops was enough to keep me happy back then

Talk with your wallets.

You aren't changing anything if you are just buying the same franchises over again and ignoring the unique, new ones.
