Ubisoft is suffering the effects of releasing a seemingly unfinished game yesterday with their stock dropping a significant 9%. The stock value, which is listed in Europe, fell dramatically as poor reviews ushered in the latest release of one of the publisher’s biggest franchises, Assassin’s Creed. Following the launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity, Ubisoft has been subjected to harsh criticism from the press and fans who claim that the game is clearly in an unfinished state due to the huge number of bugs and glitches. The vast majority of the complaints that have flooded sites like YouTube and messaging boards such as NeoGAF are aimed at the stuttering frame rate. Various videos show the frame rate in Assassin’s Creed Unity dropping below 20 fps even when the player is carrying out actions that shouldn’t be very taxing.

This last few days has seen a flood of new details for Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed III, most of them leaked from Game Informer’s huge cover story. I’m extremely excited for this latest entry in what has become one of my favorite series in all of gaming. The details that follow are pretty much all we know about the game thus far. Assassin’s Creed III will feature a variety of environments that have never been utilized in past installments, and all of them will present unique gameplay and traversal. For example, climbing in forests and jumping from tree to tree as you stalk your prey from above. The game runs on a new version of the Anvil engine, allowing for a far greater number of characters on screen at one time, all while looking better than ever before. Apparently they were going for a “Nex-gen” look on current console hardware and feel that they have come pretty close to that goal. The new protagonist is the son of a mixed British
