The story of AC is fucking shit anyways.
If they only adapt the style/design and premise it could make for a good movie.
If it's anything like AC1, then it MIGHT be good. Anything post AC2 is terrible story wiseexcept Black Flag, but that had so little do with the overall AC story anyway.
>>64188941
AC1 and 2 were GREAT when it had the suspense and mystery to it.
once they came with the gods of a higher civilisation bullshit it lost all this mysterious charm.
i remember the goosebumps of the AC1 and 2 riddles up until today.
>>64188836
did he say this?
>>64189015
>AC1 and 2 were GREAT when it had the suspense and mystery to it.
>>64189015
The story was never great.
Servicable, at best.
Abstergo is such a shit idea. Even the pieces of Eden feel out of place, especially in AC1.
All they need for this to be a fun movie franchise is revionist history with Assassins and Templars duking it out behind the scenes of big historical events. That's fun and engaging enough in itself. No techno-memory-travel, no triple agents, no magic artifacts, no Gods.
>>64189024
>“That’s definitely happening. We’re just developing the script at the moment. I’d heard of it but had never played the game. I don’t have a video game player … that’s not what they’re called. [Laughs] I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they told me the story behind it, and I thought it was very interesting—the idea of reliving memories.”
>>64189154
Does anybody ever gave a shit about the timetravel part? It's all about the badass costumes and historical backgorund. Just have a Secret Orders Fighting For Power Thorought The Ages Franchise and they should be golden for years to come.
Fucking James Bond does this shit in the span of 40 years and they, apparently, haven't got rid of all the ideas yet.

IT AINT EASY BEING WHITE
>>64189341
Shaun was entertaining and had a solid character behind "cynical birit" though, he's the only reason I even bothered with the "real world" segments.
>>64189341
My point was that they should drop the whole hightec angle and just make historical epics senpai.
No use being a hothead about it.
>>64189015
No, AC1 is the only one with a story to speak of. AC2 is when it went downhill, and people only hold the story in a good light because the gameplay was a huge improvement
>IMMA ITALLIAN, SPUGHATTI
>IMMA VILLAIN, EEEVUHL
AC1 actually had decent, sympathetic villains, a genuinely interesting main character fighting his dogma slowly over the course of the story.
Ezio is never in true doubt of his cause, he's never really wrong in what he's doing, even if he has to revise his methods. The villains are all 2d greed machines and none of them are even shown as competent.
It's interesting that AC4 actually had a bit of the ambiguity and character development that AC1 had. the execution was no where near as good though. That leads me to believe that they know where they're fucking up, but somehow decide to fuck up anyways. perhaps it's a matter of effort, or marketing statistics.
why aren't they ever adapting games that are actually known for the elements that also make a movie strong? soul reaver or PS:T had a better narrative thanany movie or film in the decade of release
>>64188962
Ubisoft could have made a good film but from the still of productions alone I can tell it's going to be cheap garbage
>>64189507
Seems to me that anon agrees, though.
>>64189516
I agree, AC 3 had that ambiguity too
Altair>Connor>Ezio
Haven't played the games after that
>>64189516
The most interesting stuff going on in AC1are the landscapes and the horse travels. The sub-missions inside the towns are actually cool too
>>64189620
AC3 had the ambiguity, but the hero never acted on that ambiguity. Altair is all "oh shit, I've been told all this, but they are saying other stuff" leading to a finale against his own cult master.
indian guy is like "oh shit, I've been told all this, but they're saying all this, better totally disregard it and keep walking the straight path towards my vengeance"
>>64189620
AC3 didn't have any ambiguity. They may have tried including it but they just made every major character an asshole. Kenway's the only one who isn't completely retarded and actually considers what's happening around him, adjusts, doubts.
>>64188836
anybody played syndicate? how is it rated?
>>64189654
My favorite part was the villain speeches. They've unfortunately been significantly shortened in the future installments(presumably because they were unrealistic according to critics, but then, the new ones aren't so short they're realistic). They actually did a great deal to humanise the villains. I don't remember a single motive in ac2, I remember most in ac1.
Also, some of the dramatic scenes were cool. A bit edgy, but when the asylum owner broke that one guys legs it had a bit of impact, not because he broke some legs, but because of the setting and delivery.
>>64189620
Altair was just a hired, cold assassin, and that's part of the appeal. Ezio was dumb, romantic and adventurous, but it was also cool. The adult and old Ezio was meh, the storyline got too over the top as well
Connor was trash
>>64189829
Altair wasn't hired, Ezio was a gary stu, why do you consider Connor to be trash?
>>64189772
SJW/10
>>64189829
>altair was just a hired, cold assassin
If you totally disregard reality, sure.
I mean, for one, he wasn't hired, he is more than any of the other characters intrinsically raised and indoctrinated into the assassins order. There's a ton of subtext about his growth as a character as well, it's pretty hard to argue that he has the most depth of any AC character. to call him a cold, hired assassin means that 1. You don't remember the game very well and 2. when you did play the game, you didn't read enough into it.
>>64188836
>spanish inquisition
might be good
>>64189909
*argue that he doesn't
>>64189169
At least he still don't know how shit the game is.
>>64189772
Combat is worse than it's ever been.
Story and characters seem very rushed.
Grappling gun ruins the free running aspect.
It looks kinda pretty and the setting is cool, though.
>a game based on a religious shia sect with roots in zoroastrianism that carried out murders to further their agendas and expand their territories
>having suave guidos, casino-americans, pirates, britbongs, jamaicans, baguettes and every other race inbetween fighting ayylmaos and knights templars
Cant wait to experience this cinematic masterpiece.
you can say what you want about revelations, it had the best parkour.
>>64190025
>Assassin's Creed
>Plot
The only way this movie even has a chance of being decent is if they disregard all that shit.
>>64190037
I like it more than brotherhood
>those based altair sequences
>>64189772
The villain literally twirls his evil moustache.
The final fight is dodging lasers and mercilessly beating his face with 2 persons for 10 solid minutes.
It's like the franchise has been taken over by a 16 year old. It's hilarious.
You run into Charles Dickens (for the first time), scatter all his writing, and he goes "ay meet me in the pub for drinks and friendship, best friend".
Darwin's favorite way to pass the time is sabotaging factories. It's all so weird.
>>64190093
>Darwin's favorite way to pass the time is sabotaging factories
kek.
>That cliffhanger in AC1
tfw you were there, and you had to wait all that time to find out what happened next.
Then it all went down hill. If Brotherhood was better than AC2 then it was the only game to be better than the previous one. Fucking Ubisoft literally copies and pastes most of the game, even Far Cry 3 seemed like just an alternate skin.
>>64190093
what about marx?
Why hasn't anyone adapted Planescape Torment?
It is literally a free pass to totally rip off Memento in a fantasy setting. It even has the tattoos and everything. And PS:T preceeded Memento so it's alright.
>>64190156
brotherhood was not better than ac2. I hated AC2, but goddamn, caesare has to be the weakest villain the franchise has ever had, and it all hinges on him.
>>64190158
dindu nuffin and best friend with the twin protags
>>64189375
IT AINT EASY BEING BROWN
>>64190244
Did marx do anything wrong?
>>64190233
I believe I killed both The Pope and Caesare by kicking them to death, just mashing one button.
Why did they make unarmed the strongest choice?
>>64189516
>he didn't cry while watching the short movie about Ezio's death
what a fucking faggot
>>64189870
Because Connor is boring as fuck. I wanted to play with his badass father the whole game.
>>64190272
>liberal/socialist
>do anything wrong in a AC game
he was basically the best friend with them similar to how Leonardo and Etzio were
AC needs more diversity. I want to play as a black female Assassin running around ancient African kingdoms and shit. Shit maybe consulting at that ancient university, and the franchise going back to it's semi-Islamic roots.
>We wuz Assassins N shit.
>>64189909
I'm talking he resembled much more the hired bot assassins than an actual main character. He was pretty thin imo. Finding his dead corpse on the library was very intriguing but that's it
>>64189772
>London's chief assassin is literally Indian
thats all you need to know, really
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE ASSASSINS ARE EVIL
>>64190324
>I want to play as a black female Assassin
Literally Liberation. And play Freedom's Call if you want to play as a black bull.
>>64190348
For real?
>>64190348
Did he poo on his victims after killing them?
>>64190324
all i wanted since AC 2 was a game set in the 1500's japan with ninja and samurai shit
but i guess that's too much for ubishit
>>64190402
It gets even better. His name is Jayadeep Mir alias SIR Henry Green, in the end he marries the female protagonist and they settle in India. Literally average Pahjeet's wet dream.
>>64190451
They fucking drew that on the floor in AC1 but they never delivered.
>>64190393
Oh yeah, isn't there even a game that takes place in China? I keep forgetting that the games has hit almost every major territory besides Africa. I think an AC game in Japan would be retreading very old territory, everyone's played a Ninja game before.
>Releasing a picture with shit lighting that's supposed to promote your movie
>The marketing team is just as bad as the leading actor who doesn't even have a video game player to engage the source material
I don't give a shit, ACIV was the best pirate simulator since Sid Meier.
>>64190465
Heh, Ubisoft is really pandering to SJWs.
>>64190481
Actually according to some leaks and concept arts the next game is indeed in Japan.
>>64189772
I've bought every major AC on release and loved every single of them, even AC3, but Unity was so abysmally bad (the improved parkour was the only reedemable thing) that killed my interest for Syndicate and any AC related shit.
>>64189870
I just cant buy a native playing a secret organization Assassin, way too over the top
The storyline in the game was already going to shit and that was merely the nail in the coffin for me. Still, there's more than enough material in AC-AC2 to make many good films.
>>64190562
now it's too late
>>64190585
>even AC3
What's wrong with you?
>>64189015
AC1 was monotonous af. Its design was great and looked terrific, but its gameplay was terribly repetitive and it took a wonderful topic and turned it to shit.
>>64190323
No like.
Why did anon expect marx to do anything wrong? Marx legitimately did nothing wrong.
>>64190333
And I'm saying you're wrong. There was more nuance to altair than any of the other characters. That he doesn't over express himself like some kinda cultural stereotype doesn't mean he didn't make for a character in his own right. You should replay the game and actually look for it, altairs character is easily the best part.
>>64190295
I mean, it was a good short film, but I'm talking about the games here.
>>64190590
No it isn't? japan developed waaay late, them opening up to the west is one of the more interesting periods.
>>64190585
>Unity
>Pay real money to open this ingame chest
How anyone could respect Ubisoft or the AC franchise after that, I'll never know.
>>64190739
>Pay real money to open this ingame chest
Hory fook! Really?
>>64188836
AC is not much of a video game, so it's not a problem.
>>64190323
>>64190595
Not him but I liked AC3 as well (the homestead, 'murica, hunting, etc.).
Connor was meh but didn't detract enough for me to not enjoy the game.
>>64190787
this can't be real
>>64190851
Shaun's entires are objectively the best part of the last three games.
>>64190787
>>64190798
The hunting was a cheap copy of that in RRR. The only good thing in AC3 was the shipping parts, which they eventually made into a game.
>>64190787
Of course the capitalist strong hold that is the gaming industry, would insult such a man.
>>64190894
>cheap copy of that in RRR
Am I not allowed to like something if another game has it? That's a bit of /v/ thinking don't you think?
64190685
I'll take a look in the wiki. I say that I don't remember any nuances of his because he looked almost always robotic and cold, like the stereotypical autistic serial killer, even Connor as shit as he was had plenty of character to him and we got to know about him and the psychology behind the character in depth, even his childhood traumas and all of that. A way more fleshed out character than Altair was in AC1.
I'm not saying he wasn't great, he was the best character and AC's storyline is GOAT.
>>64190920
>art is capitalist
>>64190851
That's the ingame encyclopedia, written by the ingame character Shaun, a brit so brit half of his AC3 entries were just shitting on America.
>>64190877
O Cain.
>>64190787
He'd be so disappointed if he knew what marxism seems to mean to people today.
It's not communism, or a way to stealthily forcing change, it's just his observations of how society changes over time. He advocated capitalism for the time being, and knew that slowly socialism would creep due to factors like technology advancing.
>>64190685
>Marx legitimately did nothing wrong.
There are waaay too many people who legitimately do not know this.
>>64191141
yeah I still remember how he made fun of american orphans or something in an entry about an orphanage.
>>64191079
Who said you weren't, you overly sensitive faggot?
>>64191281
>implying
You're backpedaling.
>>64191300
Backpeddling how? No one said you weren't allowed an opinion, you fucking mook.
>>64190324
You can already play as a black female ex-slave assassin killing the evil white man.
>>64191079
The hunting stuff was only cool when the wild animals got triggered and attacked you
>>64191368
Aveline was never a slave.
TFW you missed out on the free money so they could say a transperson worked on the games for publicity. I wonder how many of those "all cultures, races, genders, religions" people are just there to fill that quota
>>64191313
Next time don't that a feature of one game existing in another games is automatically a negative. It's silly and asinine.
You don't have to get mad about being called out on it.
>>64191474
In English, bro.
>>64191368
She could assassinate my evil white man, if you can't my drift.
>>64191458
I stand corrected.
>>64191368
No but Adewale was
>>64191238
You're right, all he did was posited an idea. What people do with said idea is on their shoulders, not his.
>>64191509
Why don't you make a game where you can play as a plantation owner and whip the shit out of black slaves?
>>64191509
>Adewale
Wow, never thought I'd see a game with an explicitly Yoruba as MC.
>>64191542
Because the SJWs would ridicule me for being racist instead of historical. Unless of course you can throw in plot twists of how you realize the "evil of your ways" and try to stop, only to end up kicking and beating more and more slaves at the end.
>>64191703
So you won't because you're a faggoty coward who is afraid of what the SJWs think?
>>64191595
Not MC, just part of the main cast.
He might've been interesting to play with if not for the fact the game itself would be shit, because ubisoft, duh.
>>64191542
>>64191703
Does anyone really want to play a game in which you're a slaver? I think you guys are being a bit too harsh, who would you rather play as Spartacus, or the people out to subjugate him?
>>64191703
Expeditions Conquistador allowed you to play as a totally heartless imperialist spaniard without making any objective statement about you being in the wrong.
>>64191804
if it was a japanese porn game then fuck yeah
>>64191775
Nah I won't because I don't have the creativity to make it work right nor the money to start it up. But thanks for the compliment :)
>>64191815
I actually love the sound of this, I need to hunt it down.
>>64191884
Fuck no, porn games where you don't play as the sub are literally the cancer ruining the industry.
>>64191804
I'd love to, but there'd have to either be some nuance, or it'd have to be in a setting where being a slaver is a bit more dynamic than just being a roman fatcat.
>>64191804
>not wanting to smash x for 14 hours straight whipping people until parts of their flesh rip off
What is wrong with you?
>>64191794
Freedom Cry was pretty good, more of the same, but the gameplay and story were just as good as AC4's.
>>64191909
Movement can be a bit tedious but otherwise, it's great. Wish there were more games like this.
>>64191909
ago for it, rather unique game.
>>64189154
I thought the pieces of eden were cool when you were doing the historical puzzle, these magic artefacts that were found at every great event in history. I assumed they gave the owner some sort of power and influence over men which made them great leaders and such, I was pretty disappointed that they were super laser powers that turned people into zombies that did your bidding.
>>64189308
I did because I thought it would be a trilogy with a Desmond centric game as the thrid one. Then nothing happened, Desmond got clucked hard and the idea of a modern setting assassin got turned into Watch Dogs which was shit and may or may not get an actually playable second installment which would finally be what I wanted to play 6 years ago.
I should just finally start playing Deus Ex or something, never touched it since I bought it 3 years ago.
>>64188836
