[@gabrielandjavierpinales3689]

They should have let Patrice Desilets continue his plan on finishing Desmond's story. Then they could have made more assassin's creed games without modern day.

[@thibautbdg5297]

I remember when Jade Raymond was considered the rising star of video games. Strange she just vanished of the public scene just like that.

[@MrAllen-cc6jh]

She switched to management roles about a decade ago, and now works for a company owned by Sony called Haven Studios. Unlikely to hear much about her anymore given the positions.

If you have audible, there's an audio-series called assassin's creed gold, it's about a blind assassins that use eagle vision to "see". As an assassin's creed fan and a fan of the medium I recommend it

[@paulmayson3129]

They would not listen to him. They fired him in the first place in 2010 for his ideas, despite being the creator of AC, because he wanted AC to have a beginning, a middle, a climax and an ending, like every proper story does. But Ubisoft wanted to milk AC forever, until they milk it dry.

[@JefftheGeek]

I don't think this is the case, he seemed to just have had "luck" doing a very good game, that only launched to it's potential with the second one. He didn't had a vision, but rather "luck", it seems unfair, but he didn't got the same success with his own studio, it shows the differecen between him and someone like Kojima or Druckmann for example.

[@CiliosX]

To this day AC1 remains my favourite game of the series. Its atmosphere is simply unmatched, and it is the only game to make you seriously question the morals of the assassins.

[@bearpoop720]

Understandable, also shows why AC is so shit. When the best one is AC1 which is mediocre and super repetitive, that doesn't show good signs for the quality of the next games.

[@ShadowWalker-ng1it]

after the messy breakup with Desillet I'm pretty sure he's never going back to Ubisoft. And based on what he said when I had the chance to meet him in a conference before covid, he's now focused on creating local capital rather than working for big foreign multinationales corporation.

@@unicorntomboy9736 From what he told in that conference he really wished to revive that project.

As much respect as i have for Patrice Desilets and his contributions to the AC franchise, i honestly don't like what his original idea for the ending of the franchise was supposed to be. I mean, you may not like the route the franchise took today, but imo, that original ending was just bad.

[@ChristopherBrekke]

So much would've been needed to get crammed into AC3 (Assuming Brotherhood and Revelations were to never exist) to justify his ending

[@unicorntomboy9736]

​​@@ChristopherBrekke Assassin's Creed Revelations should have been AC 3 in my opinion, albeit the setting should have been in Spain during the Spanish Inquisition.

[@paulmayson3129]

His idea of there being only 3 AC games was later rejected by himself, deciding that there would have been 6 AC games. Yet still he planned for AC3, and much of that original plan was used in the final product of that game (especially as it was written by his lead writer, Corey May). It is just that with Patrice's vision, Desmond would not have died, and went on to defeat Juno.

They are not AC games. Actually, using the AC Brand Bible, written back in 2008 by the original creators and developers of AC1 and AC2, "Ghost of Tsushima" is much more of an AC than Odyssey or Valhalla, which do not even adhere to half of the 20 criteria of what makes an AC game.

[@chriscolombie4135]

To me Ac needs a reboot, not just because the series is almost unrecognizable but the lore is now so confusing not building up to anything, the gameplay evolved but the core gameplay regressed (stealth, parkour) , there is also the fact that Ubisoft will run out of popular historical settings at some point and then what? The game needs to restart, clean up the parkour, improve the combat, get a good writer, get good voice actors, improve the side missions, choose a setting not just because of popularity but because of gameplay (where buildings are closer for parkour) The series needs it, i am personally excited for shadows but hexe sounds like pure bs to me , it’s a cool setting but I’ve no interest in watching sorcerer assassins , so shadows might be the last Ac game I actually play
