"I’m a fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Aside from one non-mainline game and the DLC content, I’ve played every game to date, even now forcing myself through the buggery of Unity because I refuse to not continue the story I’m so entrenched in. I’ve come this far, so why stop now, right?
Earlier today, news broke regarding the first image and the synopsis of the AC film due out late next year."
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
"Hollywood has decided that taking one story that has worked and, instead of sticking close to script, make changes that may anger fans and alienate the AC gamers"
Couldn't have said it better myself
It seems like they are restructuring the plot found in the first game. Callum is basically Desmond while Aguilar will play the Altair role.
To defend it they've said it's part of the overall universe but it I think it's going to end up coming across like a retelling of Desmonds story.
I don't see why they didn't do Desmond and the story in the first game, they are great and could easily be condensed to a film as most of the Templars you kill are repetitive missions. Show him killing two of them then do a montage to speed things up.
Shouldn't surprise us that Hollywood is meddling with a video game narrative. Maybe one day someone will get it right out there, but here's to hoping this flick isn't a complete POS.
I wish they'd just follow the game's script. It's already a cinematic experience of sorts as it is!
Why be upset about them messing with the game canon when they couldn't be faithful to it anyway? Not in the timeframe of two hours, at the very least. I
t makes sense to adapt the best parts of the games within the confines of new characters that can translate onto the silver screen better than the star of a 60+ hour story that would go over new converts' heads and anger gamers far more. And who ever loved Desmond as a character anyway?
I'm not sure i understand , arent they just adding another set of assassins , when all of them were never accounted for ?
And isnt it essentially better than ruining existing ones , while potentially adding more to the mythos ?
