Hopefully yearly. Remember, they started development 1 year after the origins team so there's no problem. And those who want it every two years can always wait buying for a year after release. I don't see any problem with a yearly release.
Having said all that, they may release it next year but I doubt it.
I'm more 'worried' what the hell this game has to do with ac, seeing as it's hundreds of years before origins which featured the origins. I do like seeing it's almost a full RPG now as I suspected.
Yeah, I get what you mean, and I agree, but I also think they're devaluing the series. From what it started out as—one of the coolest game ideas ever—it's become something of a joke. People still enjoy playing them, and that's great, and Origins looks to have been the best since Black Flag, but they're losing steam. They're essentially liquidating their own IP. That makes them the most amount of money, sure, but in the process it loses so much of the soul. I remember Ubisoft's comment on the Assassin's Creed film essentially mirrors what I'm talking about:
"We are not going to earn a lot of money from it. It is a lot more a marketing thing, it is also good for the image of the brand. Although we will make some money, it is not the purpose of this movie. The purpose is to bring Assassin's Creed to more people. We have our core fans, but what we would like is to put this franchise in front of a lot more people who, maybe, will then pick up future Assassin's Creed games."
I find that a little... seedy and disingenuous. Obviously they admitted to it, which might be considered a respectable move, and they have every right to do whatever they want with their money, but they essentially admitted they didn't care about the artistic aspect or the quality of the film; just that it attracts people to the video game series where they can earn the most amount of money.
Essentially they took one thing I care about immensely—film—and used it indifferently to publicise and market another thing I care about immensely—video games. They mired one art form to market another, which defeats the purpose of creating art in the first place. There's no artistic integrity at all. Do I want to play a game that cares so little about itself?
