DS Daily: Card-based RPG or minigame collection?

by Alisha Karabinus { Oct 12th 2007 at 9:00AM }

Maybe we're cynical, but after our initial bout of OMG faded when we heard about Assassin's Creed coming to the DS, we immediately wondered just how the action-adventure title would get screwed up for its trip down handheld lane. It would be nice to see any number of things, like a simply scaled-down 3D version, or a side-scroller true to the original, or even a stylus-slasher in the style of Ninja Gaiden. But we worry. We can't help it. What do you think Ubisoft will do with Assassin's Creed?

Card-based RPGs? What's the point of making a "videogame" if you're just gonna put cards in it?!!

Though I suppose I'd have to go with card-based RPG as right now I'm all mini-gamed out, so it's the lesser of two evils. But like you Alisha, I would hope it's just a normal action-adventure without annoying gimmicks.

Seeing how Brother in Arms turned out, and seeing how long they work on Assassins Creed now, I think it's gonna be a scaled down Console Version for the DS. Hell just look at it's sales numbers, anything beside the Real Deal would be plain stupid from them.

Even Activision does this with Call of Duty, and they would be just dumb to do the same like they did with *urgh* Prince of Persia on DS.

Hell, I sure wish it will be at least something like a medieval TPS like Brother In Arms or Call of Duty.

Seeing their release(z) for DS recently, it sould be more likely a nintendogs-like game, you know, where you breed your own assassin, entertain him, dress him and make him play with his knives.

A nice action/platformer would be fine, as well as an action/RPG game like Lunar Knights.

But I fear that, because they never talked about it before, although the release date is really close (like in "in must have been in development for months now"), it will be some crap even AC's fanboys won't buy...
