Ubisoft on Assassin's Creed trumping of sequel, license-based industry |
Ó
In an industry where video game sequels and licensed properties always get the limelight, Ubisoft UK boss Rob Cooper was rather proud of Assassin's Creed (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) achievement for breaking the mold by delivering new and compelling content while having it received warmly by gamers everywhere.Since its release last November 14, Assassin's Creed has already become the third fastest selling Xbox 360 title ever. Cooper was pleased with the fact that new IP can still shift serious numbers in the retail market.
In an interview with MCV, he said that despite the sequel and license-centric games being put out nowadays, Assassin's Creed was able to match up to the expectations of gamers who are looking for an exciting original IP game to play.
He stressed his point by saying:
The launch of Assassin's has been a huge global success. There are a number of factors for this in the UK. One is that the game has gripped a nation of gaming consumers. With licensed or sequel based titles, it's easier to know what to expect, but with AssassinÂ’s Creed there has been a ground swell of excitement since we first showed it at E3 06.
He also recognized the efforts of the game's producer Jade Raymond (who wouldn't?) and her team, who all worked hard in making Assassin's Creed a video game success. These were all factors in creating the formula of a best-selling game. We hope this doesn't mean the end of Altair's adventures though, since we definitely want to see more of him in a possible sequel.

cause a lot of gamers aren't happy with all the technical flaws in an otherwise very good game... even my wife said that of all the games she's watched me play this is the one she really enjoys even saying "just finish this memory block first" when i told her i'm turning the console off first to give my PS3 a rest...
they should listen to the gamers and least they could do is come up with a patch, the gamers supported them even after all the negative reports on the game now it's their turn to show appreciation...
the technical flaws aggrivated me. i followed the production of this game since before i bought a 360 a month before halo 3, just for halo 3. after master cheif's huge disappointment i turned in the 360 for a much better PS3. and came to a similar disappointment with AC when i bought it. so many bugs and flaws in an otherwise great looking, but repetitive, game. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune MORE than makes up for it and despite AC, i'm not giving up on the quality of PS3 games. i blame Ubisoft for the lack of working out the bugs and releasing before it was closer to %100 bug free.
Clearing your cache during loadup has made my Assassin's Creed a la Xbox run fine. I was used to Oblivion's wiley ways so when the frame rate started dropping a little after I'd been playing for 4hrs I tried that and haven't seen any glitches since.
Just a question if you don''t mind me asking how old are you?
Yeah well despite having some bugs its actually a great game. The patch Ubisoft made will fi x everything.
