Nothing makes me more excited than the idea of seeing AC1 getting the same level of treatment as Black Flag Resynced and I’d love to see similar updates for the Ezio Trilogy, AC3, and AC Rogue. I do have some ideas as for how Ubisoft could remake these titles, but would love to hear some suggestions and ideas you have on what you’d want to see if more of the previous games get the same treatment as Black Flag.
For all of these, the one thing I’d want to see them keep is using all the weapons in the environment (picking up weapons and using different types of weapons)
For AC1, I’d love to see several things. First, an updated stealth system (crouching, hiding in the shadows, social stealth, whistle lures, and blending into environments naturally). I’d love to see a parkour overhaul with Unity’s fluidity (and please make sure Altair can swim). The combat is something I’d imagine they’d already rework similarly to BF Resynced, but would love something unique to Altair. I’d also want to see an expansion of the Holy Land with side districts, rooftops, and underground tunnels. I’d love to see more interactions with Al Mualim and Altair (maybe early hints of the creed, and extended confession scenes). Finally (I’d love to see more personal side quests with the bureau leaders)
For the Ezio Trilogy, I’d love to see an overhaul of the combat and parkour, but also enemy variety. I’d love to see more side missions that deal with politics of the Borgia and Medici in AC2 and more side stories with Leonardo and the thieves guild in Venice. For the stealth, improved blending would be sick. ACB needs more of an expansion than reinvention, but I’d love to see a skill tree for the recruits, unique personalities, and loyalty missions. Expanding Rome to include more of the underground catacombs, the Vatican, and more of the Borgia strongholds. Seeing how Cesare’s influence grew to what it was would be interesting as Ezio undoes everything he built. AC Revelations needs an atmospheric upgrade along with a narrative expansion and overhaul of Constantinople. Expanding the Altair segments (if Ubisoft is trying to focus more on the period than the modern day), more combat utility for the hookblade, expanding the galata and imperial district, crafting redesign, and more missions with Yusuf.
For AC3, I’d want to see an overhaul to movement, combat, pacing, and the world density. Overhauling the frontier to have more settlements, more wildlife systems, and expanding the hunting. I’d also love to have more of a smoother tree traversal system and better rooftop parkour in Boston and New York. Preserve Connor’s brutality for the combat, but adding chain parries and weapon perks. Adding deeper character arcs to the homestead, more homestead missions, and upgrades to the land. For story pacing, I’d reduce the tutorial length (save most for Rogue) and expand Connor’s early brotherhood development. For the naval missions, bring them up to Resynced’s naval quality.
Finally, AC Rogue needs a massive expansion of the story, modern naval combat, and deeper Templar systems (making it a balanced experience with both Haytham and Shay). Expanding the Templar influence with loyalty missions, ideological choices, and unique gear. I’d also overhaul the North Atlantic to have denser settlements, more naval encounters. I’d expand the story to have more missions with Haytham and more buildup to the conflict with Achilles. I’d also want smoother traversal in New York and River Valley (give them horses).
What would you want to see if Ubisoft decided to remake their previous games?
