Here we have a first person shooter.Įven though they're both open-world, I think that's just a box that they're in.

In Assassin's Creed, it's a historical fantasy and it's a third person close-combat focussed game. I don't think so, as long as the core of what you're doing is different and the fantasy is different. Do you think there's a risk of player fatigue?** Watch_Dogs, Ubisoft's done a lot of open-world games. I think that's the direction the games are heading. The cutscenes and the big set pieces are starting to evaporate. So you follow that through to its logical conclusion and it is "be who you want and make up your own story". If you look at the DNA of Far Cry, what it's about is allowing people to do what they want and be who they want. Would you be hypothetically open to a female protagonist for Far Cry 5? We don't always get it right and there's always room for improvement, and I think negative headlines just get more clicks. Ubisoft is pretty good at diversity, in general. The last game I worked on was Assassin's Creed 3 and we had a Native American hero. Is it odd that more hasn't been made of the fact that you're putting out a game with a non-white protagonist? Your main character, Ajay - after E3, Ubisoft received criticism over diversity in Assassin's Creed.
