Assassin’s Creed Shadows – what happens next? (Ubisoft)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monday letters page discusses the most overrated games of recent history, as a reader thinks \u00a35 for Mass Effect<\/a> Trilogy is disrespectful.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/strong>
I\u2019m glad to hear that Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows is selling well<\/a>, as I\u2019m really enjoying it so far. That\u2019s hopefully good news for Ubisoft<\/a> in general, given their current trouble, but the obvious problem for them is that they\u2019ve already got a gazillion Assassin\u2019s Creed sequels and spin-offs in the work and as far as I know the one set in Germany during the witch trials is next<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People have been asking for a game set in Japan<\/a> for years, but I don\u2019t think a game where you play as a black cat was on anybody\u2019s wishlist. I\u2019m not saying it will be bad, that\u2019s not the point I\u2019m trying to make, but it\u2019s not an obvious bestseller and that puts Ubisoft right back in trouble again.<\/p>\n

Thing is though I\u2019m not sure what is the next most requested setting? I\u2019ve heard stuff about India and the Azetc era but I don\u2019t know if they\u2019re super anticipated. For a spin though why couldn\u2019t they try setting one in the future? Maybe have it half and half with the ancient past? Something weird like that could be an interesting way to hype a new sequel and try and keep the momentum.

Previously on Half-Life<\/strong>
I\u2019m seeing even more rumours about Half-Life 3 being nearly finished and coming out soon, but I just can\u2019t believe it. How could you even hope to sell something like that to console owners, or even just younger or casual PC owners, who have no idea what the series is and even less about what happened in the last one.<\/p>\n

Surely remasters, if not full remakes, with a big marketing campaign are essential to laying the groundwork for Half-Life 3. As I remember, Half-Life 2 only originally came out on the original Xbox, with some Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports a few years later – and none of them sold because no one knew or cared about Half-Life 1.<\/p>\n

If any company is not going to care about spending money on a vanity project. it\u2019s Valve but why not just do it anyway? I\u2019d like a full fat remake of the two by Valve, especially if they update it with new story and gameplay elements.

Added extras<\/strong>
Nintendo could charge a tenner for a Switch 2 upgrade to games or provide it free out of the goodness of their own hearts. Alternatively, it could be a new feature of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.<\/p>\n

Either a new tier or bundled in the Expansion Pack, they could offer all upgrades for free when you’re a member. They keep talking about making subscribing appealing to players and giving value and so on. They already have DLC on there, if you keep your subscription, so a 60fps upgrade doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

Classic pricing<\/strong>
Does anyone else feel kind of bad when they see a great game for ridiculously cheap? I know it\u2019s silly but when I see something like Doom or Mass Effect Trilogy for just a few pounds it seems\u2026 disrespectful?<\/p>\n

I know what I\u2019m saying, and I don\u2019t consciously agree with it, because it\u2019d be great if all games were that much, but subconsciously it doesn\u2019t sit right. Not when I know how much trash is out there with a \u00a370 price tag on it.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day everything is only worth the price people are willing to pay for it and I guess with those two games Bethesda and EA reached the limit of people that were going to pay more than \u00a35 for it. I hope they like them though. The idea of playing the whole of Mass Effect for so little is mind-blowing to me.
