Assassin’s Creed has
not only introduced the world to the incredible potential of next-gen gaming,
but also to the visually spectacular work that can be produced under strict
timeframes. It goes without saying that the AC franchise hit the ground running
after unveiling Altair’s saga in November of 2007. However, as of 5 years ago,
we as core gamers have come to expect more from the franchise. Some of our
expectations include: less linear gameplay, a larger variety of side missions,
better and smarter AI/NPCs, and much less diluted and more ‘eye-poppingly’
accurate environments that beg you to free-run through them.
