Viele Fans sind der Meinung, dass "Assassin's Creed 3" aus diversen Gründen kein gutes Spiel ist. Manche gehen sogar soweit zu behaupten, dass der Titel der wohl schlechteste Ableger der gesamten Serie sei. Einige Entwickler beziehen nun Stellung und verteidigen ihr Spiel.
Via Reddit haben sich die Macher von "Assassin's Creed 3" zu Wort gemeldet.
Steve Masters über die den Knie- und Stealth-Button und das Schleichsystem allgemein:
our stealth is primarily "social stealth", and we've been debating having a crouch button since pretty much day 1. It was always the vision that crouching in public spaces is not "hiding in plain sight" - if anything you're calling attention to yourself. We found that the "stalking zones" - the low vegitation where you can crouch down while low profile - are a good compromise since it allows you to crouch but only in circumstances that make sense.Laut Alex Hutchinson wird die erst später erscheinende PC-Version von "Assassin's Creed 3" über direkt zwei Day-One-Patches verfügen. Die Konsolenfassungen erhalten dafür zahlreiche Bugfixes und andere Veränderungen.
Doch gerade zur PC-Fassung macht hingegen Entwickler Gabe Graziani genauere Angaben:
Not actually delayed, but that's being kind of nit-picky... really, we've added a lot more detail to the PC version and support for DX11. Stuff that we didn't really need to think about for the console versions. Considering the amount we're adding, you aren't really going to end up waiting all that long (not even a month!)
So, the PC version will come with additional patches, both those that have been or are just about to be released on consoles as well as some specific for the PC. I would say it will be less buggy than the console versions AT CONSOLE LAUNCH, but that the console and PC versions will be comparable at PC launch.
