Assassin’s Creed

One of the more high profile titles we received with our review bundle was Assassin's Creed Origins, developed and produced right here in Canada at Ubisoft Montreal. From top to bottom, the reimagined Assassin's Creed title is phenomenal in more ways than one, and with only a few hiccups, it wasn't hard to slap an outstanding review score on this one. While our initial review as done on a console that did not support 4K, we knew we would have to give the title a spin a second time on the Xbox One X. Despite having over 50 hours in my original game, it didn't ...

Assassin's Creed Origins is a fantastic experience from start to finish, and very few things made my cringe in my current 40 hour play through. Full disclosure: I haven't done everything you can do in this game yet, but am planning to do so. What I have done though, is experience all the new mechanics Ubisoft has included in the title, as well as completed what I consider a pretty good story, at least when compared to other Assassin's Creed titles! How does it rank against all the other big games this year? Read our thoughts below!

One of the defining features of the newest Assassin's Creed game is an all new combat system which takes into consideration your level v. the enemies level, and your equipment v. your opponents equipment. Gone are the days of wait, party, attack as you move through one enemy after the next. Now, it's a free for all that you better be prepared for!

When the Xbox One X gets launched later this year, there are two games I'm really looking forward to playing on the system for one very specific reason: the settings. The Xbox One X promises to produce some of the best looking graphics available on modern consoles, and companies have already been harnessing this power to create games that will look the best on Xbox One X. But why these two titles? Well, for myself, it's a personal decision based on settings.

Assassins Creed Origins finally takes the Ubisoft franchise in a new, and much needed direction. After a year haitus, Ubisoft Montreal - and corresponding Ubisoft teams around the globe - are showing off their latest creation: Assassins Creed: Origins. Origins has a fairly hefty demo on the E3 show floor, and here are a few things we learned from it!

Egypt has always been an intriguing environment, so I’m glad to see one of my favourite franchises heading to the deserts in Africa. From the gameplay, it looks like we will be treated to a diverse open world with plenty to explore. But the real question with this series is always this: will Ubisoft be able to move away from the traditional game play to create a unique, Assassins Creed experience? As stated by Ubisoft during the Xbox Briefing, Egypt…

Assassin's Creed is undoubtedly one of the larger franchises in current video games, and can boast being one of the best AND one of the worst franchises to date. Most people were on board for Assassin's Creed when it first launched, and many praised it for the unique gameplay. Collecting flags - at least at that point - was a minor annoyance at best. Assassin's Creed was heralded by many as the next big thing.

Assassin's Creed will always be a top seller. It's simple-to-play basis and its constant location and cast refreshes mean that only those that stray beyond the 10 hour story manage to get entirely bored. As a result, the latest in the franchise, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, has hit a milestone: it's sold over 10 million units. It took a little while longer than its predecessor, but those that felt the series would find itself face down in the hay after Assassin's Creed III were definitely wrong.

The other day we posted screens from a brand new Assassin's Creed set during the French Revolution. Called Assassin's Creed Unity, the game is exclusive to new-gen consoles, and the video below apparently shows in-game visuals. It's possible, although don't get your hopes up, that what we're seeing here will actually be what you see when you start playing.

An Ubisoft leak courtesy of Kotaku seems to imply that at least part of the next Assassin's Creed game will take place in France, at least in part. This isn't just yet another location rumour though - this one comes with pictures. Despite the fact that it's obvious this is a game in development, these Parisian landmarks actually look rather good.
