The scale of Assassin's Creed 3

"To make the game too long - it is dangerous," - said Alex Hutchinson, creative director of Assassin's Creed 3.In an interview with VG247 Alex Hutchinson spoke about the enormous scale of Assassin's Creed 3 , and also shared his concerns about the risks that may arise in connection with the players and the developers.


" Assassin's Creed 3 huge in terms of physical size, playing time and the number of new gameplay, we have it included. We've removed a lot of systems and mechanics from previous games, but I think we still have achieved the maximum possible extent , "- said Alex Hutchinson.However, the creative director warns that there is always a danger that the huge amount of content gamers can prevent complete the game: " There is a limit to how many things you can perceive the same time in the head, and there are narrow limits of diversity, which can be added that there was no sense of fragmentation and disorder . "
" In addition, we have a very high percentage of complete games franchise, and if you make the game too long, then these figures will start to fall, which would be a disaster for the games, like ours, which we appreciate the consistency and integrity of the universe . "

New interview, but not much new information.
But it worries me when he thinks people won't complete the game. It seems as if the team might have purposely made the game shorter than they would have liked so we can have a 'high completion rate'.
I agree with the first two comments on that page.

That would be really, REALLY stupid.
If people bought the game, no matter how long, they will complete it eventually if it is good.

Wow, that's terrible. I still want a game that has many things in it. I do not want such a short game!! That would disappoint people rather than alleviating them

Wow, Alex is such a Pro. Just yesterday we were relieved to finally see a blue coat being killed by Connor and everyone was happy, but here he comes again to ignite another worry.

A real Pro.

To be fair, rather have him tell the truth than lie
If it does turn out to be shortened, at least it wont be a big shock.

Its not that, its that some people DO like to worry and may take his words the wrong way and in the end the game will turn out pretty long.

So this might just be another false "uprising" like the one regarding the British..

I think it is a fair thing to think about. Not everybody can dedicate a few hours to multiple games. If you add side content as well then really busy people who really have tough jobs and not much time for gaming can end up not finishing a really long game before the next one comes around (in a yearly release cycle). They could end up feeling left behind and losing interest in the franchise.

Granted it doesn't affect me personally really because i can fortunately dedicate time to games, but even with the time i myself can dedicate to gaming i still have a backlog i need to finish.

when the game is too long, it would be very boring (i like what he said) the shorter is always the best

If that is the case, CoD has the best campaign.
