Fine with me. I love AC3, can't wait for the next. I thought the new consoles would be out by next year though?
It's a good thing they have a new engine then that pushes these consoles to the limits. Imagine what they can do with it when the bar is raised properly (stares at wii u)
The engines for this gen are really already reaching their limit, AnvilNext 2.0 I'm not too confident in. It's still buggy as hell. Heck, I was replaying RDR recently, I've never been huge on the game but when I play it, I think how the hell did a game from three years ago do so many aspects of a game better than ACIII? Stability, draw distance, even context for side missions which ACIII seems to have none, just here's your assassination/delivery/courier mission, now you have my eternal gratitude.
Anyways, this gen really needs to die off. It's not just migration to handheld devices that is killing the games industry, it's console manufacturers like Microsoft keeping their hardware back. This year has been full of disappointments, and while Q1 for next year looks tasty as hell, the industry just feels like it's in such a heavy slump right now.
No one wants to develop that much for this gen anymore other than big developers and publishers who have the money to keep splashing about, other devs are biding their time and resources for the next gen. God I hope the next gen is goes back to a three-five year console lifespan.
I know Sony want this ten year lifecycle for PS3 to work, but I think a lot of devs are not going to stick by it. They'd probably be glad to stop working with the cel processor ASAP. As for ACIV by next year, I don't really know what I think of the series now. It's getting very Madden, new game every year with a few little tweaks. This year was like we exchanged the Madden experience for Skyrim, big game with lots of bugs, except Skyrim has a lot more content so you can find a lot more things that
might not be broken.
