The play itself is also paired down somewhat on the blockbuster experience of a “main” Assassin’s Creed game. Cut scenes and narrative development, which were kept deliberately brief to fit in with the handheld philosophy of short bursts of play, feel simply underdone on the big TV… especially in comparison to the luxurious and indulgent narratives of both Assassin’s Creed 3 and 4. The game’s flaws, which were present on the Vita, are magnified in HD. It’s not the greatest game, though, so I suspect it will be fighting against the grain to achieve significant sales. Still, Aveline’s game is on a popular console now at least, giving more people a chance to experience her adventure, and hopefully Liberation in HD proves popular to justify more games starting female assassins like this one in the future.
It’s very much a metaphor for the games industry in general. While the original Vita release was a fine game in its own way, it was clear that this game didn’t have the production budget of the “real” Assassin’s Creed games.Īnd so Aveline, despite having the potential to be one of the most compelling female characters ever designed, is relegated to a B-grade personality within an AAA-grade franchise. It’s a shame that Ubisoft decided to Assassin’s Creed Liberation’s hero, Aveline, on a portable game.
