Everybody, please stop complaining about Assassin's Creed coming out yearly. There's been no indication that the series is dropping in quality. I mean look at Brotherhood.  We all thought it was going to be some cheap expansion pack, with tacked-on multiplayer.  Instead, it was a nice long game that extended Ezio's story, and showed some cool gameplay enhancements.  I do have to admit that I never played the multiplayer in Brotherhood, though 
 
Ubisoft promised us that this is the final chapter in the trilogy that starred Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, and I'm inclined to believe them. Also, Altair is coming back, which makes me all the more excited.

Jaja I bet half of the people that are bitching about too many AC games haven't even played BH.Besides if you haven't played BH by now why would you care about Revelations?If you don't like AC you wouldn't keep up with it.Ja you people amaze me.

I will happily pay $60 to stab some more faces and necks, as long as there's new stuff to stab with or to aid in the stabbing.

I fear Ubisoft might be over-saturating the Assassin's Creed franchise.  I don't believe we need a new AC game every year.  It feels too much like they're just tossin' them out there like Call of Duty games.   
 
Yeah, some of my complaint is that I still haven't played Brotherhood, but I still feel like they should rein in the annual releases.

All logic dictates I shouldn't be excited for this given that its essentially just AC2.2 but fuck Brotherhood was so good and this from what I've read sounds even better.

@worfdata: Why are people dismissing this game? There has been absolutely nothing shown, and there have been very few details released. Yes AC comes out yearly, but the development team is somewhere between 300-400 people, which is double, even triple the average dev team, meaning they are able to pump out yearly games while making them better each time. Not only that, but they have a proven track record with Brotherhood. Sure it wasn't as massive of an improvement as AC2 was to the original, but it had meaningful upgrades, with new features and a long as story mode compared to the average game of this gen. Not to mention the shit ton of side stuff, and the giant addition of multiplayer. And from what little information has been released so far, the devs have been saying they're going to be answering a lot of questions that have been created in the series so far. 
 
I'm not asking you to go out and pre order it right now people, I'm just saying that give this game a chance. Yeah, Activision has royally screwed up some franchises (namely GH and CoD) but Ubi is putting a lot more people and resources into improving the games than Activision ever did to those two franchises. All I'm saying is don't dismiss this game without having seen a single thing yet, hell wait for a demo at E3 at the very least.

milking it for what it's worth. I'm definitely skipping this one until i can get it for 5 bucks, that would be 6 months after it comes out. I love this series but it's Desmond's story I want to see. ubisoft "a reeeeeal cheap shot"

@SSully: While many COD games have had innovations, the style of FPS they introduced is quite similar to other FPS games on the market over the past few years. There have been very few AC clones that I can think of, so perhaps it has better staying power. Cant Wait to see what they come up with next.

@Xanth93: Well they are probably alluding to ACIII.If Revelations is better than Brotherhood(which is pretty hard to surpass)or maybe as good I will pick it up.The improved multiplayer, new animation tech, and improved gameplay mechanics sound good so far.

That was my reaction aswell to that line.  Supposedly Ubisoft has said this will have more answers than questions compared to the previous games but well see.  I don't expect EVERYTHING to be revealed but it will atleast fill in the gaps of what happened to Altair after AC1.

I think that Assassin's Creed should stop being a yearly sequel. I remember them saying quite clearly that a new Assassin's Creed game (not including the spin-offs on DS, PSP, etc.) was not coming out this year. Was that a lie?

It's a-me, Ezio!  I'll play it. I'll probably even love it, but I'm ready for someone other than Ezio, even with Altair flashbacks.
QFT. I've had my fill of Ezio and Altair, I've been ready for new characters since Brotherhood truthfully. Also, I'd like to say that I'm really disappointed this wasn't the usual badass assassination trailer that they usually debut with. I know it says 'full trailer coming June 6th', but still. 
I agree with both of these. Brotherhood was all the Ezio I needed, or even wanted.

@thornie: Call of Duty actually does have a story arc. Not many people believe it is a good story, but it is a continuous story from MW. Also I can appreciate you wanting to know more about the story, but a new book release and a new game release are very different. You get nothing but plot in a book. With a game you have to work through the set world with the set game mechanics to earn that story. It gets tedious playing a 20+ hour game every year with very similar gameplay mechanics just to get an average story arch. 
 
@Brendan
: Every call of duty game has had innovations in both single player and multiplayer since cod 4, yet it is almost synonymous with the term milking. Assassins Creed is starting to do the same thing. Expect a few small features for both single player and multiplayer in Revelations, nothing more. I don't get why call of duty gets bashed for being milked year and year, yet I am getting replies left and right from people claiming Assassins Creed is an exception to this title.  
 
@MariachiMacabre
: I believe it. I think the multiplayer looks outstanding, the whole cat and mouse dynamic seems to be a huge thrill. Maybe I am just in the minority where when Brotherhood was announced I just felt burnt out. I loved both the first and second AC games, but I couldn't pull myself to pick up brotherhood so soon.

                yearly sequels suck...
           
Agreed. I passed on brotherhood becuase I had enough assassins creed for one year. Such a shame they are milking a pretty good franchise 
           
While the idea of yearly sequels may suck, I don't see how it is milking (as in negative) when Brotherhood was an outstanding game. Yearly sequels suck when its consequence is the production of bad games. So far, that hasn't happened to this franchise. Perhaps it will with this new game, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Milking a franchise has nothing to do with the quality of the games that are produced, it is the principal of making basically the same game year after year with minor changes. Brotherhood did get a big addition of multiplayer, which is a great step, but it is obvious this franchise is going the same route as COD. The games might be good, but that doesn't mean I want to play a new one every single year.
I would have to disagree here.  If a game innovates with every single title then I don't think it is milking.  If a franchise only had a title released every three years but it was always the same, then that would be milking.  So far, AC has had significant improvements with every title, so thus far I don't think the main franchise has been milked.  Whether you want to play one every year or not is a personal choice, and whether the franchise goes down a bad path has yet to be seen.
I'm going to disagree and agree with both of you. 
 
They are totally milking AC, and I'm okay with that for a couple of reasons:  
  1. It's a business, they have to make money  
  2. I think each AC game has been significantly better than the last  
  3. It means I get a new installment faster
I don't understand the complaints against having new installment once a year. Are you playing the game 24/7/365? I hope not. Instead, it's usually a couple of weeks with each new game, then you're on to the next.

Especially when Brotherhood did nothing but improve on 2 (trust me it's pretty great). I hate yearlies unless they're good. Brotherhood was great.
