Two teams working on two Assassin's Creed games, and between them, their tortuous struggles to animate female characters. Oh, the agony they must all be in, straining to do something other game developers a fraction of their size could accomplish with ease.

Strangely enough I am more looking forward to this than Unity. I could go for another game with the ship stuff from AC IV, as opposed to the more regular structure of AC games that Unity seems to go for. Which I am completely worn out on.

When "Assassin's Creed Rogue" sounds like it's been copy and pasted together from different soundbites, you know how hard they're trying to annualize this.

Wow. Exclusive DLC is mentioned in the first announcement trailer, before any gameplay footage is out? That is just depressing.

But what if they don't want female lead characters in those two games?

I can't be the only one that thinks the main character sounds like Danny O'Dwyer doing his best batman impersonation.

@toshi0815: Then saying female characters aren't playable because they're difficult to animate is still a stupid thing to say.

That's not allowed. Full inclusion or zero tolerance. There is no room for creative freedom in these dire times of equality.

The only dude who was able to get away with having a pony tail was Jetstream Sam. Sadly, this guy is not him.

Pony tails should be outlawed!

How can anybody watch a 2 minute cutscene and not only want to pay full price for a game, but also pre-order it to get EXCLUSIVE PRE-ORDER CONTENT?! Let's actually try to make Ubisoft impress us.

A last-gen exclusive AC game? Sounds like the formula for a winner.

I love how when the narrator says the title that "Assassin's Creed" and "Rogue" were obviously from different takes.

I kinda wish this also took place during the french revolution and you played as Elise, the templar from last weeks Assassin's Creed Unity trailer. But making another game with the Black Flag tech makes business sense.

The rumour about you playing one of Edward Kenway's sons was wrong, you play as Shay Patrick Cormac in 1751, which would place it right before the opening to AC3. Cormac apparently starts as an Assassin and then becomes an Assassin Hunter. You can bet you'll run into Haytham Kenway.

It would make sense for them to release a PC version of this as well.

Welp, I'll probably wind up buying two Assassin's Creed games this year, because I am a sucker for this series. *dodges tomatoes*

I feel burnt out on the series after slogging through one instalment a year, let alone two. Calling an early favourite on the 2014 "PLEASE STOP" award for Assassins Creed.

" Ubisoft proudly presents the Next Assassin's Creed... For Poor People."

I don't have a next-gen console either.

...Hey, sure, why not.

Even after AC3 unceremoniously threw the series' narrative out the window (which I guess you kinda have to do if you're going to run an endless franchise like this) I still find playing through these games to be pretty satisfying. Ass Flag was a blast, Ass Unity looks like a return to the large-cities-with-tall-buildings feel that I loved in the series at first, and if this one is like another Ass Flag, sailing was a blast so I'm sure it'll still be at least relatively fun.

Just want to point out this is the THIRD Assassin's Creed game to come to consoles this year. Yet somehow, even after that pretty bad trailer and with no gameplay, it still looks more interesting to me than Unity. At least it seems like there are ships in this one.
