Assassin's Creed 3 director would tear up the game's opening now
Spurred by last week's announcement of an Assassin's Creed 3 remaster, the game's director Alex Hutchinson has reflected on what he would change - and keep the same - if he made the game now. One of the biggest changes? That six-hour opening prologue.
Assassin's Creed 3 opens with a big surprise - that you do not initially play as Connor, the character on the front of the game's box, but his father Haytham. You're not even initially in America, either. What follows is a slightly overlong but genuinely surprising opening - but one some feel holds the rest of the game up. It's something Hutchinson now agrees with:
"We should have broken up Haytham's intro into chunks and interspersed them throughout the game to get to Connor faster," he wrote in a lengthy thread on Twitter. "The shock reveal of another playable character was great, but the start was too slow."
