Ahh irony.

Interesting. . . maybe he could bring back more of an Assassin's Creed II style of quality to the franchise again. Considering III's amount of difficulties, Ubisoft needs this guy back. Go for it Pat!

what a twist o.O lol ,lets see how many watch robot chicken hahaha

lol go figure

I imagine a board room with everyone sitting quietly staring at the table like Daddy just hit Mommy.

That's going to be one odd office.

Patrice: Heheheey guys, remember when I told everyone to kiss my ass before I left? Yeaaaah its all water under the bridge now, right?

Ubisoft: -_-

This is... I'm not sure if I should laugh or not 'cause this isn't just ironic, it's downright painfully ironic.. I'm guessing he didn't see that coming a couple of months ago (oO)

If it were 6 months ago, I would say I hope so. But as far as the AC series is concerned, it's too late. They have essentially deleted the essence of the series as we knew it going forward. Unless we are to go back and explore other assassins in history, there is no where to go but sci-fi shooter territory, which I don't want in an AC game. And exploring other story arcs in history knowing all along that *SPOILER* the assassins and the templars have been practicing an exercise in futility, squabbling over the remnants of the previous civ and nothing more with little to show for it in the end does not give me a big drive to push forward. When you know that the endgame is totally irrelevant to the struggle, the struggle feels much less urgent and meaningful. Seriously, what's the point? No one in history realized there wasn't a point, so why even explore their struggles? It will turn into a more localized, alternate sci-fi history study, than a struggle throughout the ages towards a final, shared goal. And how many alternate sci-fi histories do we really need to experience these days? Every other film, tv show and book has their own explanation for historical events.

What I wonder is if Desilets had this as his original idea for the arc of the series, or if those he turned the series over to simply put it into high gear in the wrong direction.

I don't come across a lot of people that complain about the end of ACIII, a fact that I'm surprised about considering the ME3 controversy. I personally loved the game, but the end is a major let down as far as future promise. Seriously, the end of ACIII really killed the inspiration behind the series.

Huh.  Touché Ubisoft, touché indeed.

bring him back because the creative director for assassin's creed 3, who created the naval and privateer missions need to be fired asap!!!!

M. Night shaymalan couldn't have done better

If Patrice comes back there's a high chance of AC not sucking anymore...then again yearly releases is still killing it.

So he left when the series was still good? No wonder its gone downhill big time. Anyway with his return I doubt he would be working on the AC franchise

Aww the irony, looking forward to seeing how that plays out.

I doubt he'll be working on Assassin's Creed. He was creating his own franchise. I'm sure he'll continue with that. Also, if they merge THQ Montreal into Ubisoft Montreal, they will have over 3000 employees. Damn. No wonder Ubisoft Montreal is developing multiple games at a time (Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six and Prince of Persia).

Kennedy. I can see what your saying... Wayne`s st0ry is unbelievable, on thursday I got Lancia sincee geting a check for $8478 this-last/month and just over ten k last month. it's actualy the easiest-work Ive ever had. I started this 5 months ago and practically straight away began to bring in over $80 per hour. I went to this website...Amazingjob4.Buzz70.com

that twist. haha. I bet he said "didn't see that coming"

Holy ***! Maybe Assassin's Creed will be good again, and NOT have horrible endings.

It's like when GiantBomb was bought by CBS, the owners of Gamespot.com (the same website that fired said creator of GiantBomb before he went on to create it and recruit several of those who left Gamespot after).
