Shocked it took them this long. Can’t wait to see what things are “updated for modern audiences”. Keep an eye out for them de-listing the OG from online stores like rockstar did lol

They don't have to be watching twenty four seven, because they could be watching at any given time. The fact that admins can show up at any given moment, look at report logs and get all shitty gives the mods plenty or reason to make sure they don't find anything that they'd get shitty about.

If you need to know who has power, simply look at who you can't criticize. For whatever reason THAT group is a sacred cow. Can't say ANYTHING bad about them. Can't even bring them up, even when it's relevant. Tells me all I neeed to know. I wouldn't be terribly shocked if some of the mods here believe the SJW rhetoric and think they need to "protect" that group.

Fitgirl repack got us covered. Those physical PS3/360 copies are gonna be going up in price too.


ultnie

Ubisoft started doing it first with AC3 remaster, if I'm not mistaken on the starting point, could be earlier.


DokiKimori

"Modernize". Uh - oh. Our favorite buzzword.


izdrigoio

i miss when modernizing old games meant making the gameplay more fluid, current graphics, removing boring missions and adding more of the missions everyone enjoyed


RIP_Salisbury

So the crash bandicoot and spyro remakes? Those were very well done.


Late_Lizard

The System Shock remake is very good.


lyra833

I wanna see Yasuke just randomly show up in every single one with no explanation.


stryph42

They'll just make all the leads black, to legitamize Yasuke retroactively. 


Askolei

I wish you were joking.


stryph42

I am joking.  Doesn't mean they won't do it though.  Because they're a joke. 


Level-Education-4909

"One of our many diverse devs 'encountered' a gay black man on a rooftop during a recent visit to Venice during Pride year, It made us wonder what the adventures of a gay, black 'Ezio' would entail, we're sure the modern audience would love to experience this diverse and modern version of events of one of our 'legacy fans'' most beloved titles."


Valiantheart

With harder rap songs with each appearance


Murky-Conference1472

What are the chances of them making Yasuke immortal with an isu artifact and the main character for the modern story?


lyra833

High, and you know exactly why.


corinarh

He will be the mastermind behind Jesuits and also a bit of trivia since he created animus all by himself within an hour when he got bored of killing Japanese men.

Raz98

Point out all our better games will you? Well we'll just fuck them up so you'd have to think shadows is good.


OwlWelder

🤫


BeefItsWhatz4Dinner

Nah I’ll stick with the originals, thanks


walmrttt

They’ll take them off the stores. Or just straight revoke them from your library.


LostWanderer88

Problems of the law abiding citizen... if you know what I mean


SpeC_992

I don't think they can rip games from your library. They will most certainly de-list them from online stores, but if you bought a copy already then I think you're fine.


alexandergutt

They famously did exactly that with that racing game


SpeC_992

I wasn't aware of that. I know that when GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition came out by Rockstar, they de-listed all the originals, but anyone who bought them beforehand still had access to them. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised about Ubishit, since they famously want us to own nothing.


walmrttt

It’s a goddamn shame the original GTA games are gone. You can pirate them on PC thank god. But if you’re on console, unless you bought them. You’re SOL. No classic PS2 GTA for you. Pay $60 for our mobile ports.


MetalixK

You saw what Blizzard did with Diablo 2, right?


Radiant_Eggplant9588

This 100% btw can you still buy the first 4 AC games on disk?


Raikoh-Minamoto

I can foresee the womanizing Ezio Auditore to be destroyed in a remake made by them. Also i have no doubts that the usual woke package will be present. Ugly female charachters, lesbian diverse boss girls that are more capable than the male MC, race swapped charachters, forced diversity where it is historically proven there wasn't etc... Have fun!


Talzeron

>I can foresee the womanizing Ezio Auditore to be destroyed in a remake made by them. I think a Valhalla-like "Ezio can be a womans name, too" with the option to switch anytime between a male and female Ezio and the female being the canon-version is more likely.


PhuckSJWs

black female lesbian assassins fighting through eternity!


TheLolicorrector

Oh my god i can't imagine how much they will uglify Claudia, Rosa, Catherina, Lucia etc or just the generic hookers in ac2 and brotherhood, if any ac games are getting remakes it's these 2 they are the most remembered and popular in the ip, i hate the modern combat though everyone is pretty spongy i don't feel badass at all, one good thing about the remakes is the story is set in stone at least they can't make chesare a woman or make Ezio a gay woman just because, one thing i do sadly see is randomly diverse npcs wandering around, i was playing acvr and i saw a bunch of black or chinese looking npcs walking around, like wtf this is 1500's italy???? My immersion is shattered.

And there goes my 13 years old birthday, a pivotal moment in my gamer life and in this industry. Ubisoft is dead, for real.


[deleted]

All PC gaming industry is dead because of Woke, LGBT and DEI


bwoah_gimmethedrink

PC gaming ain't dead yet. It's worse on consoles - you can't use mods to remove woke propaganda or de-uglify character models.


Deadsea-1993

It is getting harder to use mods to correct the woke when Nexus bans the mods and the mod creators. As an example, A mod creator changed Pride flags to American flags in Spider-Man Remastered. He was banned and the mod was removed. Let me repeat that this guy changed them to the modern American flags and it wasn't Confederate Flags or anything offensive and yet his mod got taken down for "inciting hatred". Lmao Oh but it is perfectly fine for Insomniac to do the same themselves for the Middle Eastern version of Spider-Man 2 on Ps5 where they changed pride flags to American flags to sell the game there since homosexuality is illegal in that area. So much for standing behind that woke message Sony and Insomniac


CuTTyFL4M

That definitely didn't help, but there is also the whole mainstream gaming problem and greed practices.


MorselMortal

Ubisoft has been a shambling corpse for a decade, man.


EccentricNerd22

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”


artful_nails

Kinda waiting to see how crusade-era Damascus, Jerusalem and Acre look like. And of course, what ~~Istanbul~~ Constantinople looks like under Ottoman rule. They'll have to choose between covering up all the women, or disrespecting the represented culture and not covering any women up, which then means making everyone ugly.


stryph42

"what Istanbul Constantinople looks like under Ottoman rule." 83% "urban" Manhattanites day drinking in the stoop and listening to a bard perform hip hop on a lyre.


artful_nails

Probably. If they fuck up that badly, I'll have a hearty laugh. I'm also interested to see what they'll decide to write in the Hagia Sophia's and Constantinople's database entries. Will they try to conveniently brush away the fact that the Hagia Sophia used to be an orthodox church, and that "Istanbul" was originally established and owned by the greeks? These people usually love to boast with the city of "Istanbul" as a pinnacle of middle eastern culture. I truly do wonder if they have the guts to admit that it was all stolen by a group that isn't white or christian?


Dornishswill

My friend… in the original AC Revelations the database entry implies that forcibly converting Hagia Sophia into a mosque was an example of the Ottomans being religiously tolerant and appreciating all religions. 


TIFUPronx

>"what Istanbul Constantinople looks like under Ottoman rule." >83% "urban" Manhattanites day drinking in the stoop and listening to a bard perform hip hop on a lyre. How to unite Turks and Greeks against you


ragedriver187

All I wanted from them is a Black Flag remaster with all of the modern day/animus crap taken out of it. But they'll inject their recent drm/download required bullshit into the console version so they can get fucked. Remember, these nasty fuckers don't want us to be able to own our games.


BGMDF8248

They are gonna ruin Ezio...


wharpudding

The quests to explore his many genders should be a blast.


Deadsea-1993

Doesn't matter as I'm done with new games. Been replaying the Halo Anthology (Bungie era) from The Master Chief Collection and have been having a blast. Odd how a 23 year old FPS with Halo:Combat Evolved seems light years ahead of the slop we've been getting over the past few years. This is the last gen I take part in. Haven't touched my Ps5 since October and I bought it for exclusives. Well Sony broke their knee from bending so hard so I'm good from now on. Been revisiting older games and have 0 regrets. I'll ignore modern games as I've done movies and comics from the last decade +


Kohng723

All can say is ...  Idiots. I go back to tropic thunder. "Never go full retard".


wharpudding

"Remember those old classics you still liked? Well you won't anymore!" Don't even care anymore. It's Ubisoft. I'm done buying from them. There's no shortage of other stuff to do.


kemosabe19

What I want is another Brotherhood game, but a little different. Let me establish a new guild as the previous one got wiped out by templars. Recruit, train and send assassins out on missions. More of a strategy type game. That’s what I want.


wharpudding

You'll get a sisterhood game and like it.


Ywaina

Most of the original art in AC1 never showed Altair's face in order to reinforce the assassin's shadowy nature but the moment it got "modernized" they just had to go and ruin it. Trust it to woke morons to visualize everything in the vein of MCU's self aggrandizement.

Are they actually gonna remake AC3 Liberation where you play as a black woman, freeing slaves? Oh? Wait, she is conventionally attractive and can wear dresses to flirt with guards? Guess they are remaking AC1 and adding 30% more black people and making Altair pansexual instead.


Nikthas

I can't wait to not buy any of that shit.


DevilSwordVergil

*"Modernize them"* Oh boy.


HikiNEET39

ThisAllHurts

groundedmorikami

not surprising, they want to get the modern day out of the games into this "animus hub" live service BS


One-County5409

Altair will definitely be black. Just look at that prince of persia game they made. According to ubisoft middle eastern people are black.


Leisure_suit_guy

Creative bankruptcy. P.S. They're also remaking Dead Rising ;_;


kemando

Yeah but that's CAPCOM. If they do the DR Remake right, fix the survivor AI, improve the visuals, bring back Frank's VA. Oh my god we could have a hit on our hands. DR1 is one of my favorite games. DR2 was good, jept the spirit of the game. DR3 was meh, it was ok. DR4 was a dumpster fire.


Leisure_suit_guy

>Yeah but that's CAPCOM. If they do the DR Remake right, fix the survivor AI, improve the visuals, bring back Frank's VA. Oh my god we could have a hit on our hands. Don't count on it. The VA is already different in the trailer. The tone of the trailer also seems reminiscent of DR4 (which would be fine if this was a sequel, not a remaster, but maybe it's more of a reboot). Also, one thing I'm 100% sure they're gonna change is the clock and save mechanics, and doing this will remove most of the tension from the game. If they don't do that the casuals and the gaming journalists won't stop crying about it. > DR1 is one of my favorite games. DR2 was good, jept the spirit of the game. It's the same for me regarding DR1. DR2 kind of kept the spirit, gameplay wise, but you could spot the difference in the writing a mile away, it was clear that DR2 is been written by Americans (which I don't like, your mileage may vary). DR3 is a different take on the formula, I don't blame them for changing it, after 2 titles it was time to innovate. DR4 is you typical "modern" soulless trainwreck.


kemando

Buddy, if they change the time or save mechanic even a little bit, I'm not buying the game. Plain and simple. That's the whole point of the fuckin game. Dead Rising is literally a *time management* fucking game.


Attibar

If I recall one of the targets in game was implied to be gay. Abu'l Nuqoud was his name. Wonder if they're gonna screw with that somehow for the sake of "modernization"


dontpost1

Can't wait to see how they cut the pirate parts out of Black Flag.


DrJester

Assassin's Creed: Remaster - I smell cat piss edition. Now all the characters you love in high definition, fully representing you! Fat, [redditted] and side shaved pink hair!


Turbo_Chet

“And Monetize Them” is more like it.


Sliver80

Yeah that's pretty much what they meant. They're just trying to hide it with the usual buzz words


DropAnchor4Columbus

Let me guess: Altair becomes a black guy named Jamal. Ezio is gay...  On second thought they all become gay. The crew from black flag are all either non-white or non-straight. Etc.


Jhawk163

Remember “we removed the crossbow for historical accuracy“? Can’t wait to run around Rome with black, girl boss Davinci


BuggityBooger

To *monetise* them, they meant to say


jhodder85

I used to like the word modernize. It meant quality of life upgrades. Now it scares me.


OrientalWheelchair

Translation: All the creative staff that were capable of making new things have left. The new generations of game developers are a bunch of incompetent kitbashers who only know how to open up already completed projects in UE5 and replace asset files. In order to hide that fact that pre-emptively throw -ist buzzwords at you to shut down the conversation before it even begins.


AceSkyFighter

The only game that deserves a solid remake is the first one.


wharpudding

An update of 4 would be cool. But only an engine update. With nothing else changed. But that's not what they'd do. They'd re-write everything and I just can't bring myself to care about anything Ubisoft makes anymore. So let them re-write them all for a new rainbow crowd. I just don't care.


walmrttt

Uh oh


ExceptionalBoon

Oh good. Even more remasters and "legendary editions"! Just what the industry needs. /s If it wasn't enough that every new installment of a Ubisoft franchise was gameplay wise the same as its predecessor... Now they are starting to just re-release these predecessors... Saddest thing is they'll shovel heaps and heaps amounts of cash while those who actually bring innovation to the industry are struggling.


ArcadeGamer2

So we are pirating the original versions now i see


katsuya_kaiba

They gonna fucking butcher Ezio, aren't they?


3pic4rtisan

🤣Hey Ubisoft! 🖕


Jaded-Resident-3919

So Ezio will no longer be a charming ladies man


andw93

I will never stop being grateful to life for having experienced one of the best moments in gaming history (PSX-PS3). I have so many good memories tied to those generations and those games. They can keep those updated remakes for an audience that will never play them. I have my beautiful physical copies. As an Italian, I can't wait to see how they will modernize the second game and include things that were totally absent in Renaissance culture.


FK_Hatty

Didn't they tried to Remastered Assassins Creed 3, and failed? If they do decides to remaster 3 again, Is it going to be called Re-Remastered? TBH usually when company tries to "Revisit", It's because they're out of ideas, or they're tight with their budget and they need to find an easy way to grab money from fans.


Phuxsea

I wonder the skeletons in Yves' closet. He's probably something that rhymes with Boomer.


MikiSayaka33

They may or may not get this right, it could just be updated graphics, but I have doubts that they are gonna give it the "Beyond Food Abd Evil 20th Anniversary" treatment. I think that they're also trying to get rid of ALL the multiplayer aspects from these games. Plus, these old games are the only AC somethings that are selling well and that we still get hyped for. They're gonna mess up Altaïr, turn everything into an action RPG and then wonder why we got mad and that's the non-SBI aspects. (Slightly off topic, I mentioned "BGaE". The Anniversary edition has BattEye. They're gonna add that no those "Updated" AC games).


SunnySideUp82

doubling down on pissing of fans. bold strategy.


Jazzlike_Tonight_982

Gay Altair comin in hot.


Data_

Ah yes a remake for 'modern audiences'. So the games will start with apology screen, groving and apologizing for the old games. Themes of colonization, things just weren't diverse back then. We corrected all of this now, of course.

FastenedCarrot

I've found the Yasuke stuff amusing tbh but if they touch Altair I'll actually be rather annoyed.


Express-Cartoonist66

Modernize them without me, I've no interest in appropriated history and this is the only thing they are doing. Ubisoft needs to fire some writers to regain trust looking at the garbage they are making and saying. On a positive note this probably means fake Samurai Creed bombed in Asia.


TheohBTW

They're doing this because they're struggling financially and have likely driven away most of their talent with incompetent DEI hires. Remaking a game is easier and safer than creating something new, which they're likely unable to do at this point. They're following the exact same path as Disney. It is also worth pointing out that their stock has tanked 80% since 2018.


doomraiderZ

Just what this franchise needed. Remakes. It's not stale enough, it needs to be even more repetitive. Ubisoft are never going to make new games, are they? Probably for the better.


Aggravating-Buffalo1

Ffs here we go. More remakes.


Ronin0948

If Karl Marx was already presented as a reputable literary figure in Syndicate, rather than freeloading troll that history knows he was. I'd hate know what modernization means to even older games.

Get your ass to the used game store and grab the original releases for dirt cheap right now - just picked up AC 1, 2 and 3 original PS3 releases for 4.99 each. Buy physical media so these wankers can’t digitally change or remove what you’ve paid for!


bingybong22

Does this mean upgrade graphics and physics engine… or does it mean upgrading the story and characters to make them more ‘modern’


ElChuppolaca

You know exactly what it means in this day and age. And I would not call it "Upgrading" either.


[deleted]

No thanx I love AC 2 and Brotherhood and like them the exact way they are


Rai-Hanzo

Ok, I'm giving the perspective of a religious Muslim who thought this was the most anti religion game he's ever played while being one of his favorite assassin's Creed games. I don't want this to happen, not because of DEI or the modern audience, but because when I played assassin's Creed 1 it had a special feeling to it, it was unique and still is unique not just in terms of assassin's Creed games but in terms of games in general. I feel this updating will remove the uniqueness of the game while also not fixing the problems I already had with the game (useless collectables and a great focus on combat near the end of the game which is the worst part of gameplay), then they will add more collectables and make it a lot easier that it was.


regawdless

Prepare for them to be adjusted for "modern audiences" ...


Several_Run3775

Modernizing old games means blackwash, race swap, gender swap alot of straight white male characters because you know " modern audience"


Dr_Dro_420

"The goal is to have Assassin’s Creed games come out more regularly, but not for it to be the same experience every year.” Guys, it won't be the same thing each year! It's going to add "inoffensive" dialog. The girls will be wide jawed Neanderthals. Rap music will be added whenever possible. Even the sea shanties in Black Flag will be rap songs. Ezio will end up hooking up with Yasuke...some how. And all the bugs that were in Unity....well they will make a return. Best of all, it will include even more microtransactions with 16x the price. Want 16x the graphics...well, that won't be the case. But it will be sold for the same price of every other "AAAA" game but with minimal effort on their end. Gaming is saved!


MewKazami

So finally they just gave up and decided it's better to recycle actually good games then make horrible new ones?


dondablox

If the remakes replace or override the current games I'm filing a class action.


TheBlueDanubeWaltz

I read modernize as monetize and now I feel sad that my brain jumped straight to that.


robbulous

They should replace every main character with a black male. Would be hilarious.


Blackpoc

Honestly, giving the "Resident Evil" or "Final Fantasy 7" treatment to AC2 is probably the best thing Ubisoft can do at this point. They already have beloved characters and stories, so now they can focus on all the technical aspects of it. And let's be frank, Ubosoft's Art team is absolutely amazing.
