News and opinion games, television, movies and the internet (noteworthy indeed)

Moreover, Now, Netflix is diving back in with a nearly 20-year-old franchise, Assassin’s Creed (which is quite significant)

The er has just announced that it will be adapting the game for action

That’s a good question

Moreover, They aren’t saying, or even if they are adapting one of the games (which is quite significant)

The show will be made by Roberto Patino (Westworld, Sons of Anarchy) and David Wiener (Halo, The Killing), so that’s certainly a bit of a mixed bag (we don’t talk the -action Halo show) (this bears monitoring)

Here's the statement from the two the news: “We’ve been fans of Assassin’s Creed since its release in 2007,” Wiener and Patino said. “Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities that Assassin’s Creed opens to us

Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story — people ing for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith

It's power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance (remarkable data)

But more than anything, this is a show the value of human connection, across cultures, across time

And it’s what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break

However, We’ve got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we’re committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet, in today's market environment. ” Assassin's Creed ShadowsUbisoft Well that’s a bit flowery for this series in particular

And here’s the official description: The Assassin’s Creed show is ““centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will (this bears monitoring)

Moreover, This analysis suggests that series s its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny. ” MORE FOR YOU In other words, this is the Assassins versus the Templars and…that’s it, given current economic conditions

Yeah, that did not go well

Which game should be adapted, in today's market environment

Well, if you want to go by the “best” AC game, I suppose we can take a look at historical Metacritic scores

In chronological order: Assassin’s Creed Shadows – 82 Assassin’s Creed Mirage - 76 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – 80 Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – 83 Assassin’s Creed Origins – 81 Assassin’s Creed Syndicate – 76 Assassin’s Creed Unity – 72 Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag - 88 Assassin’s Creed 3 – 84 Assassin’s Creed Revelations - 89 Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood – 89 Assassin’s Creed II – 90 Assassin’s Creed – 81 Assassin's Creed IIUbisoft The general pattern here is that the series started out strong back when it felt novel, with the Ezio-based ACII being the highest scored in the series

On the other hand, Market analysis shows n it went into a downturn with Unity and Syndicate

At the same time, Now, it’s gone up a bit, but not to the level of the old games

However, Adapting the original AC may make the most sense, given that it serves as an origin story, and in theory, future seasons could continue on with other games and other assassins from other games (an important development)

ACII is the highest scored

I would say Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is the fan-favorite entry

Valhalla is the best-selling in the series

Assassin’s Creed Shadows just came out and was a big seller (noteworthy indeed)

Furthermore, My personal favorite is Odyssey (something worth watching), given current economic conditions

I really, really would not recommend they invent a story out of thin air they did before, in light of current trends

Hopefully we hear more actual details soon
