User blog comment:Zero-ELEC/Massive to work on Assassin's Creed game./@comment-98348-20110201015401

This is an awesome idea, and I can't believe half the comments on this blog are hating on RTS's. Its a great genre of games, and the only reason people hate it is because you don't get to directly control the people who are fighting apparently (which is BS, you're the commander for goodness sake). Anything different in the AC series is appreciated now by me as well, since I'm worried they'll go the CoD route and make lower quality AC games once a year (indicated by their recent comments).

Btw, everyone who's whining about how Patrice Desilets left Ubisoft for THQ, he did that before they had finished Brotherhood, and Brotherhood turned out excellent (despite what many people may say). It just goes to show that whilst he was an excellent creative director, and I will sorely miss him, he is not required for a good AC game (and obviously neither are the other members of the team who went with him, if Brotherhood is any indication). So please, stop thinking that one person is required for making a good AC game, because one person does not an entire dev team make, no matter how good he is at his job.
