Tell Us Dammit: Reinvent A Famous Video Game Series

I love Assassin’s Creed. I’ve loved the series from the start and I’ve watched it evolve and change slowly over time. At this point I sort of wish Ubisoft would just reinvent the whole concept from the ground up. How would I do that? I’m not sure…

I think the first step would be a ground up reinvention of how the free-running and climbing works. I’d ground it in reality a bit more, make it a bit weightier, a bit more real. I’d take Assassin’s Creed back to the Crusade time period as well I think.

Really, what I’m advocating here is a reboot. I will play the hell out of Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, but I think the whole ‘take the series to different time periods’ thing is a bit played out. I don’t know if Victorian-era London makes that much sense.

Anyway — how would you reinvent some of your favourite series? Let us know in the comments below.
