Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

[nCogNeato]

I'd rank the Rainbow Six franchise among the top 10 multiplayer games on Xbox Live.  I have a few people on my FL that still play Vegas 1.

Ubisoft is no Valve, and will never be.  But considering the average lifespan of Xbox Live multiplayer games, you have to give credit to a game still active after ~4 years.

I wasn't saying they were number 1, just saying they've got some pretty good MP games that's all, it's Ubi's own people that are saying they were number 1. 

We all know you work for Ubisoft.  lol

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood producer envisions more multiplayer for franchise



While some still lament  the addition of multiplayer to the Assassin's Creed franchise, it seems likely that the online features of Brotherhood  will be revisited in future iterations of the series. Speaking to Videogamer, associate producer Jean-Francois Boivin addressed why fans are so opinionated on the subject. "I think there's this dichotomy in the gaming world, that ... people who are sold to single-player don't necessarily care about multiplayer," he explained. "The wink we give to that in our universe is that the single-player [game] is Assassins, and the multiplayer is The Templars. I think in the end we're giving a lot to the single-player, because we're giving a full single-player campaign - so they won't feel cheated with Brotherhood."

Boivin hopes that the addition of a competitive angle to the Assassin's Creed universe will open up the series to a new audience, beyond fans of the single player experience. "Hardcore multiplayers might say 'I'm going to try this multiplayer. Hey, this universe is kind of cool! I might look into the single-player,'" he mused.

But will we see multiplayer in Assassin's Creed 3 (or whatever the next title might be)? While not a confirmation, Boivin admitted that "there's a lot of room for expansion in that universe," and envisions "a multiplayer component being there for a long time." Presumably, that would mean about two years from now.

CVG has revealed that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is three times bigger than Florence from Assassin's 2.
Ubisoft Montreal's Mission Designer Gaelec Simard was the man talking to CVG, as he revealed that the Rome of Brotherhood is 'the biggest city yet' and is at least 'three times as large as the city of Florence' from Assassin's Creed 2.

CVG also says that Rome takes in famous landmarks like the Coliseum and the Vatican. Sounds good!
