Ubisoft on why Assassin’s Creed IV doesn’t include multiplayer ship battles
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag includes naval battles throughout the campaign. However, even though this feature has been one of the more well-received elements in the game, players won’t have the opportunity to participate in ship battles online.
Speaking with Examiner, lead game designer Tim Browne explained that the team did explore the possibility.

Producer discusses initial “resistance and reluctance” in making Batman: Arkham Origins
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Throughout the creation process, Warner Bros. Montreal was forced to deal with “resistance and reluctance” at “every level” while developing Batman: Arkham Origins, according to senior producer Ben Mattes.
Perhaps one of the biggest obstacles was facing skepticism from fans. Because Rocksteady was out of the picture, some felt Warner Bros. Montreal wouldn’t be able to deliver an Arkham game. Mattes said there were also “concerns within the organisation that we weren’t going to be able to deliver the special sauce of a Rocksteady game.”
“Obviously resistance and reluctance exists at every level. There were fans who said: ‘They’re not Rocksteady, they can’t make an Arkham game.’ And there were concerns within the organisation that we weren’t going to be able to deliver the special sauce of a Rocksteady game.
“And there were concerns within our team, like – ‘Maybe we’ve bitten off more than we can chew? Are we sure we’re able to dance with these guys? Do we deserve to be in this same hallowed ground?’ – but we wouldn’t have continued through the years if we didn’t feel we had a shot. I’m really proud of what we’ve done.”
