So when will Rogue be out on PS4/XBO? My guess is Feb-March 2015.

Yep. Definitely passing on Rogue. PC version is the only thing that MIGHT have gotten me to play it and I'm not going back to that after I play Unity.

Probably. They'll give it some time to breathe on old-gen, and give people time to buy Unity on current-gen, and then rerelease it on PS4/X1 a month or two before they announce sequel to Unity. I wonder if they will make another old-gen game next year tho.
Edit: and it's gonna be interesting to see sales numbers for Rogue, before it hits current-gen.

I really hope it does come to Xbox One/PS4. I love the series and I really don't think I could go back to last gen graphics for it now..

I guess its time for me to get back into AC. I stopped at AC2. So guess I'll be picking up Rouge when it comes out.
A rouge Assassin intrigues me a lot.

Ice Pirate Assassin Killer?
I'm down. Two AC games this year for me.
And AC Unity really is murderous Romeo and Juliet isn't it, haha.

Not going to touch rogue with a ten foot pool. Beta new york and ice doesnt interest me in the slightest.
Bring on Paris!
If you want me to play an AC set in North America call me when you decide to make New York 1880-1920.

Would have bought if it was on PC. Will buy when it is on PC. Unity it is, until then. Looks pretty cool.
I will wait on this until it hopefully comes to current gen. I mean for this to come out at a later date than Unity sucks for an AC fan. Coming from a new engine on current gen then going back to previous gen and an old engine would kinda suck.
The story and direction of this game seems fun and new though.
Ahhh I'm torn, I love AC. I want to play this but want to wait for the better "definitive" version. Why must you do this to me UBI!!??

what's even worse is that the ps3 version is like $40. That's bullshit. Rogue sounds much better than unity at the moment, but I'm not playing this on the ps3 or 360. Ubi been doin a good job on the frame rate of crossover game, like ac4, so I'll wait and see if they bring it to the ps4. However, that unity tech demo did hype me up a bit.

I bet this ties into AC4 by
BOOM!
having Shay murder Edward Kenway and then taken Heytham and turn him into a Templar
BOOM!
Hell naw. Unity is a true follow up the the ACII games.

They already released two last year and the year before (though one year it was the Vita-only version).
Nope, Reginald Birch is the one that carries that out and then takes Haytham under his wing.
I'm an idiot for readin this without completing Black Flag. Is that an AC4 spoiler or from the novels (which I already was kinda aware of that
Edward got killed and that Haytham grew up with Templars
Well
Edward was killed
I want both, but don't have a PS3 anymore
Wait 6 months.

Visually Unity looks a good step up. Very pleased with the visuals they have accomplished there.

I think it would be an awful move to not have Rogue on PC. I'm not someone who's gotten too big on the Creed series (I apparently played the two worst games, that being the original and Bloodlines, and I'm only entertaining the possibility; I am unsure if I wanna get back into the series) but considering Ubisoft has a PC service, and can very easily use this as an easy port down the road, it would be incredibly odd for them to bail on having it on PC/PS4/One down the road.
Hasn't banking on last gen with ports truly been a mistake for most companies when people originally thought otherwise? I assume their last-gen/next-gen approach is to make sure the game is not inhibited by the previous hardware in regards to the new versions, but that comes at the risk that one of these game will do well, and the other less so. I think more people will go after Unity because that's the wow newness.

Grr not sure if I can hold out for the predictable Rogue HD on current gen, might have to jump on the PC version!
Sounds like it could be great and I loved Black Flag so it seems likely to be an enjoyable game for me.
That would make 4 open world Ubi games for me this year

Too bad Rogue isn't getting a PC version. I wouldn't even hope for a Wii U one. It seems quite interesting. Maybe even more interesting than Unity from the story point of view. Plus pirates and Arctic landscape. Well, I'm sure I will enjoy Paris and I hope the character won't be too annoying.

Does this mean the PS4 version runs at 60 fps? If so, that is a great trade off for the game running at last-gen resolution.

Trials Fusion at first for PS4 said that it was 720p and then they corrected it. Could be a Ubisoft problem when submitting work to the Sony store.

Is it really that inconcievable that people pay attention to these things? Or is this an earnest question?
Just an earnest question. I wasn't putting down the fictional chronology at all. It's just there's a lot of titles, especially non-numbered entries. I asked to be enlightened to simply be informed, so I apologize if it came off as a put down.

Aa, it's alright. My post was testier than I intended and I'm sorry for that.
The series is roughly divided into three time periods:
12th-13th Century
- Altaïr's Chronicles
- Assassin's Creed (Third Crusade)
- Bloodlines
- Revelations (Mongolian Invasion of Europe)
15th-16th Century
- II (Rise of Pope Alexander VI)
- II: Discovery
- Brotherhood (Fall of Pope Alexander VI)
- Revelations
18th Century
- IV: Black Flag (Golden Age of Pirates)
- Pirates
- Rogue (Seven Years' War)
- III (American Revolutionary War)
- III: Liberation
- Unity (French Revolution)
Then of course there's that modern, 21st Century segments in most of the games. There are also some mobile card games and social games, but those are not really plot-significant (well, whether Discoveries or Pirates are significant is also highly debatable).
Is that good or no? I'm intrigued by this game.
Liberation was a pretty good Assassin's Creed spin-off. It's definitely scaled down in scope compared to other entries to compensate for the Vita, but it still plays just as well.
Plus, Aveline is pretty cool in her own right and the way they approach the story telling is very interesting as well.
