There will be no ACIII Beta. | Forums

They probably didn't like our overwhelming feedback from the last game..... especially since we told them it sucked and it was true.

What better way to keep us from running into nasty bugs and design faults than to... well, keep them from us? (Until a time where they can't do much more than tweak numbers)

I've been playing Uncharted MP and it gets me just how much they support their multiplayer. There's groups of players who sound like us with things like "Another useless patch, Naughtydog. Job well done." but I'm just amazed there's a patch at all. Uncharted 3's MP is about as old as ACR (I think) and they've done a lot more with their time. Weapons have been tweaked, glitches fixed and new game modes added. Whereas with the AC series, any and all "improvements" to the multiplayer experience seem to be practically drawn up by the marketing team themselves. "We'll release these maps at this price on this date."

I wonder how many brand new maps we'll see - and how many will be recycled.

Maps should be free. New modes or characters could be paid for.

The truth hurt to much last time there was a beta

The game sucked.

They were offended LOL.

[Serrachio]

I guess my "polished turd" statement was true.

So, about that "random hate" I keep filling the forums with...

Welcome aboard.

So I was thinking about a conversation that I had with obliviondoll about Ubisoft and the whole online pass thing this morning.
The conversation went a little like this:


Me: It sucks in situations like ours where you have two gamers living together sharing a PS3 and sharing copies of games like ACB and enjoying it's multiplayer and then WHACK Ubisoft come along with this pass thing resulting in the gamers either having to buy TWO copies of a game that they are only going to need one of OR they have to go through the hassle of buying an EXTA online pass. It's almost as if Ubsioft think that Gamer guys don't have relationships with Gamer girls!
obliviondoll: Actually, it's as if Ubisoft think that Gamers can't have relationships with anyone. Look at what they did to the Revelations multiplayer… Look at what they're going to do to Manhunt in AC3!!
Me: Good point… And now they're testing the AC3 beta in-house. It's as if they don't want us to have SOCIAL LIVES!


By taking the beta away from some of us, it means that they're taking away our ability to decide whether or not we want to buy the game, which in turn results in some of us leaving the community that we've come to love.

[obliviondoll]

I should probably clarify something here...

obliviondoll: Look at what they're going to do to Manhunt in AC3!!

When I said that part, I wasn't meaning ACTUAL Manhunt, I was pointing to an article about co-op, because we'd just had a discussion about how it's basically a Manhunt offense round.

There's no Beta because they want to have your money before you get the chance to realise what a broken pile of sh*t you've just been sold.... again.

I wonder how many people still are not deterred by all of this and will mindlessly chant " I don't care I'm getting my pre-order whoohoo bonus plastic Connor doll to play with while I take it in the rear wooohooo"

It's a sad day when the 'made in china' doll is the only solid part of the product!

I'm buying it because the additional 20 seconds on the smoke timer, no more B button prompt, etc are enough big improvements for me to buy a newer version. Now my scores will greatly improve when I can get more focuses....
