Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Director and Producer talk dumbing down, milking it, co-op and AC3's setting

GR: Are you bored of Assassin’s? Wou💟ld you welcome a s𝓰witch in time?

VP: No. I had lunch with another produce⛄r today an♓d he was asking the same question. Assassin’s is a hard franchise to hate even though now I should hate it – it’s eating up my personal life. I don’t know – there’s so much potential, I’m just afraid we might milk it too much...

GR: This studio does seem particularly cheerful compared to many I’ve visited. ꧑It’s also staggering how quickly you’ve turned Brotherhood around.

VP: I know. People are passionate here, and we 🏅get to work with most of the seniors from the previous games. So I know these guys want to add their own extra effort.

GR: Do you speak to Jade (Raymond) still?

VP: Uh huh.

GR: How are things working out in Toronto?

VP: She’s very busy. It’s a big mandate, to build a new AAA studio from scratch. That’s ambitious, but business-wise it’s a good move – because n♛ot everyone will come to Montreal beca♔use of the French culture.

GR: What happens to you now 💎ꦜyou’ve gone gold? A long holiday?

VP: We’re ౠlooking at it now! Certainly a couple of weeks, just to cool down. I also have kids, my oldest just started school. So we can’t take a three month trip or anything... and I don’t want to school her myself! I’m doing some home renovations &n🧔dash; it keeps me mentally healthy.

GR: Sometimes us techies like hammering nails into wood – it makes us feel like men! Cheers Vincent.
