AC5: Unity

[PZ]

At last, back in old Europe - Unity is set in the French revolution.  Due out as usual, in the holiday season of this year.  This should look spectacular on the new generation consoles and high end PCs

nice  ???

Looks great even at alpha stage  :-X

There's another AC game coming out later this year for PS3, Xbox360 and PC:

[PZ]

Yes, I'm cautiously optimistic about Unity.  Not sure if I'll go with Comet because I was just not that enamored with AC4 - it was okay, but I have not returned to it after my last DLC download.

I'm easily bored with games since FC2.

[fragger]

I remember you were less than enthused with AC4 :-D

FC2 is a tough act to follow for we open-worlders.

Gameplay with dev's commentary:

[Art Blade]

that looks good. Looks as if they were going to add more freedom, as in open world, to that game, too.

and CO-OP with up to three friends?

COUNT ME IN!  >:D :-X

[PZ]

Very impressive  :-X

[Art Blade]

already pre-ordered the gold edition  :-()

[PZ]

This is the game I'm looking most forward to despite it being Ubi

[Art Blade]

yep, let's hope for the best :)




..and prepare for the worst.  :-()

Really looking forward to this game!

Recently, they postponed ("delayed" -- doesn't that sound familiar?) the release date to November 11, 2014. The same date they release The Crew. A little later, they'll release FC4. UBI is quite busy pushing big games out, not to forget their recent Watch Dogs.

[PZ]

Sounds like standard Ubi speak to me

[Stiku]

Problem is that Watch_Dogs, AC5 and Far Cry 4 are made by Ubisoft Montreal.  :D
Big studio, atleast they have more than 2 employees at that complex.  :-\\

And The Crew is made by former Reflection and Ivory Tower.

[Art Blade]

the damn waiting is getting on my nerves.

[PZ]

I finished Watch Dogs, and it was quite fun despite my initial hesitation.  I don't know if I will ever play it again - maybe, but I'm not so inclined like I have been with other games.  I anticipate the same for FC4, but am quite excited for AC5

 ??? :o

Makes you wonder if they did any kind of testing at all!

[Art Blade]

haha, almost what I thought. :) I thought, "how about QA and damn it, it doesn't make sense to first set a deadline and only then start to code the game"

[PZ]

Well, releasing patches is a matter of routine these days, with just about everything coded on this planet.

It is a bit much though, to start releasing patches for software that hasn't even been sold yet  :knockout

[Art Blade]

at least the patched it before we got the game so we don't freak out right from start. But I suspect there will be more bugs so we might still freak out.  :-D

[PZ]

Of course we will - remember how a patch broke FC2 so we couldn't hear the tapes!  :D
