*gets flashbacks of collecting all the feathers and screams uncontrollably*

And upon collection of all 100, you get a cape that makes you notorious all the time.

Seriously though. I loved Assassins Creed 2. I would be interested in this if I hadn't replayed that game so many times to actually remember almost everything.

 

[eso76]

I always get excited for these remasters, but that's because i somehow imagine old classics remade with proper current gen production values, which obviously is not the point of these releases.

 

[sym30l1c]

This is great, but why not publish an Assassin's Creed collection with all the first 3 games plus expansions?

 

[ps3ud0]

Was just about to buy Rogue cheap on PSN, but Ill wait for the PS4 port then instead

EDIT: I presume its jumping the gun to think Ezio might return in next years AC?

ps3ud0 8)

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I liked Ezio's games for the solid story arc. But Black Flag was GOAT gameplay.

Setting aside the ship parts it had by far the worst gameplay of all AC games. They took AC3's already mediocre gameplay and further removed combat options and did even more follow and/or eavesdrop missions. Heck they included a couple follow missions on the ship.

To be fair Black Flag is one of the worst AC games. But its a great pirate game.

I'm glad more people recognize this.

I strongly disagree. The towns could have been a lot better, but Black Flag is right up there with Brotherhood for me. Superb game.

Could've done without the eavesdrop missions, but still. I liked Black Flag so much that I wish it would splinter off into its own side series.

I suppose I should play Rogue at some point.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

This collection would be worth it for the music alone, some absolutely cracking compositions in there. I generally enjoy the AC games but there is definitely something missing from the newer scores.

Yep, no doubt. I mean, besides AC3's Homestead being one of my favorite game tracks of all time. And I haven't even played AC3.

Jup, Had a really hard time with the game. Until i accepted it was more a pirate game then a AC game. After that i really enjoyed it.

 

[thatdamnmook]

Hook AC2 directly into my bloodstream please. What a game.

 

[BlizzKrut]

The best AC theme in my opinion is AC3's main one, it's just so good.

Yea, in my mind Kyd really cemented himself as the guy for me with these games, but I think Lorne Balfe really ran with the groundwork and did some great work. obviously 4 really goes in its own direction, it's more unity and syndicate respectively (and with respect), it just wasn't there for me. Which is funny because I love Austin Wintory in general and there's a few good ones there for Syndicate and Unity but overall those soundtracks just didn't leave the same impressions on me as stuff like the beginning of ac2, racing across the rooftops and scaling that tower. There were missions I replayed I'm those games purely because the music really invoked something. The background music in general too, really great.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Good pick. Ezio was the best playable assassin in the series and at this point no one cares about the present day storyline anyway. ;p

 

[TheSeks]

How many games does that cover? I was hoping for the original and part 3 to be ported over.

The better entries in the series starring Ezio: 2, 2: Brotherhood, 2: Revelations.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Jup, Had a really hard time with the game. Until i accepted it was more a pirate game then a AC game. After that i really enjoyed it.

Yeah I really put off going on shore for most of the game.

The better entries in the series starring Ezio: 2, 2: Brotherhood, 2: Revelations.

revelations was more of a disappointment than 3 personally

 

[Mingledorff]

I'd like to tell myself I'd love to go back and play these games again. But I really don't know. It probably would all come down to if they put any actual work in remastering them or if they just release higher res versions.

 

[Zedark]

Assassinate me if old.[/QUOTE]

Let's say you google assassin's creed and find this thread without any knowlegde about GAF. You must think that you've to some kind of video gaming cult!

I love this 'if old' tradition!

 

[thelastcrusader]

How do the PC entries of these early AC games hold up compared to last gen?

 

[faridmon]

Can't fucking wait to play AC II again. Such a great game and one of the best games last gen.

 

[Henrar]

I hope PC versions will get a patch or at least a new remastered release.

 

[EmiPrime]

AC2 and AC Brotherhood, two of the best games of last generation and uh... AC Revelations... yeah.

 

[Noisepurge]

Good, hope we get Rogue in due course too.

Ubisoft, add Rogue too and I'll buy.

Yeah can they retcon the main character to be Ezio and include it here to warrant a purchase?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Add it to my list of remasters/collections I want. Hope it's this year to fill my AC void

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Brotherhood sucks, but II and Revelations are amazing.

 

[KeepersDome]

I would love the games to have the option of the combat being more like the recent AC games. The combat controls were a little clunky looking back.

 

[Darklor01]

Will buy. Ezio's games are ace.

If an upgrade/remaster, I'd happily buy!

 

[popsicle_sundays]

AC2 (GOAT), Brotherhood, and Revelations? So fucking in. Those are my 3 favorite.

 

[JaseC]

How do the PC entries of these early AC games hold up compared to last gen?

Brotherhood and Revelations are fine, although the Flying Machine 2.0 mission in the former is impossible to complete when running the game above 60fps as the glider fails to respond to input. 2, while it performs well, has an utterly broken LOD system and does not properly support wireless controllers (fortunately, there is this fix).

 

[Newlove]

Would buy if using the Unity engine and had major visual improvements. Going over 3 of these huge games again though...just the thought of doing all those quests again is a little overwhelming.

 

[bryanee]

I'd rather they get rid of Revelations and throw in three instead. I cannot stand Revelations.

 

[bunkitz]

If they could get rid of the tower defense shit in Revelations, though, that would be swell.

 

[mike4001_]

So ...

that´s why there is no Xbox One BC ...

 

[J_Viper]

I'm in.

I imagine this launches alongside the movie.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

Hmm as long as they get rid of MP from the collection. I still haven't get the plat in Brotherhood because of its bad net code xD

 

[Meia]

This is when the series hit it's highest points, and was still about, you know, assassinating people. Tempted to buy even though I own each game twice over already.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

Give me a non-multiplayer trophy list for Assassins Creed Brotherhood and I am in

 

[thepenguin55]

I feel like this should be the Desmond Collection. Then follow that up with an AC Rogue remaster and now every major AC game is on modern platforms.

 

[dealer-]

Lol I never got past the tutorial. Switched it off, never came back.

Music makes such a difference, especially in games with any kind of exploration element. From AC2 to Halo to Darksiders 2, a great score is the difference between merely good and truly memorable.

Kyd does great work. (And now I'm realizing two of my examples were scored by him!)

 

[HamsterExAstris]

So what, we'll get a second one that includes I, III, and Rogue? What about Liberation?

If we get a second one, I'd expect it to be an "Americas Collection" with III, Rogue, LIberation, and maybe IV (which I know already was out on current gen, but you need it for the story), with the original left to rot by the wayside.

I really hope that in the process they lose those two terrible "without failing" Revelations DLC trophies. I got both of them on 360, but still only have one of the two on PS3, and it's the only one I'm missing from the game.

 

[dreamfall]

If they included multiplayer, I'd die happy. One of my favorite multiplayer experiences last gen, Wanted felt like hide and seek with knives. Depending on how well they touched up the games, I could see myself spending money on a triple games package.

 

[Lucreto]

I wonder if there will be a dozen collector editions with it.

I hope they changed the controls slightly for the gun. I got used to the newer games.

 

[Nori Chan]

In for the best AC game. Which is brotherhood.


Hopefully the MP is in it too

 

[Backflip]

One of Gameblog's sources has said to the Editor in Chief that the Collection is real and that it will be released next October: http://www.gameblog.fr/news/61467-assassin-s-creed-ezio-collection-sur-ps4-et-xbox-one-nous-vo

 

[ZeroX03]

I mean yeah I could probably do ACII again? It's not too long or intimidating, although it'll probably feel super dated after how good IV and Syndicate were.

Wouldn't touch Brotherhood or Revelations again. The only thing I truly want is Rogue, or a Kenway collection. IV already runs fantastically on consoles but Neo/Scorpio enhancements couldn't hurt.

 

[Morts]

I'd be down to play Brotherhood again with better performance.

I'm surprised Rogue never happened on current consoles. I broke down and played it on PS3.

 

[Strangelove77]

Hope they release them separately. I liked all the Ezio games, but I imagine if you play them one after the other it would get old extremely quickly. The gameplay nor the story supports marathoning these or even really replaying them.
I have a soft spot for Brotherhood though. I hope they sell it by itself.

 

[Gin_And_Ironic]

Hard pass. AC2 is nowhere near as good as you remember, Brotherhood is the second best game in the series, and Revelations was only good the last couple hours.

 

[halfbeast]

Day One if true. I hope they leave the multiplayer out.

Ezio is the best Assassin.

what? are you crazy? Brotherhood's multiplayer was the best part!

 

[PowderedToast]

they picked the wrong games
