Montreal makes the odd games... Shanghai did 2 and DA


Montreal made the good games (1 and 3, and last gen DA. Pandora was decent though, and really was great for its multiplayer, despite me sucking at it). I don't like their job with AC, and I'm not excited about social stealth. It's a sub genre of its own, and the last game footage had NOTHING in common with any of the SC's. There's a difference between change, and a complete overhall (sp?).


I really depends on how far they take it... and if they keeps some of the elements in... one of the reasons they droped the game and restarted was because of the bad preview from fans and the excuse that AC's crowd system was farther ahead.  I just hope that they balance the gameplay... maybe an open world setting... you have to make your way to your destination and that is social stealth, but once there it takes a more traditional stealth.

The most I'll compromise for is very similar to what you said. You know how you press R1 for "Active mode" in AC? I hope you can "toggle" between social and stealth mode, so you'll be in social mode, walking down a street, being followed by 2 FBI agents. You quietly slip into a dark alley, quickly go into stealth mode, and like a cat, rush up ladder, or hide near a dumpster, and take the 2 guys out the traditional way.

But I doubt it =/ I can't see Ubisoft listening to their fans. When have corporations ever done that? They're still going with the Bourne theme. Hell, they changed everything in DA so that it'll be more appealing to new fans, but by completely compromising the atmosphere, story, and character =/

They just needed better marketing if they were looking for a million seller. I mean, SC was released in a really crowded market anyway, and was still very popular amongst hard core gamers. They shouldn't of fucking kicked that hardcore base in the balls, because what happens if they don't appeal to the casual/new fans? They'll have nobody to fall back on. You need the hardcore as a support base in case the shit hits the fan.
