  • Yesterday we got the 13 minute Assassin's Creed Shadows walkthrough, and we've got a lot to talk about and break down. All in all Assassin's Creed Shadows is looking very promising thus far, but like with any Assassin's Creed game, I'm keeping my hype in check...

    Naoe genuinely looks to be what I had all hoped a Shinobi Assassin would be. I’m really impressed so far with what Ubisoft has shown, and I’m actually pretty excited now

      I expected all Assassins to be like Naoe. Fast, nimble and dangerous.
      That being said, she's gonna be my favourite Assassin and my choice to play all the missions

      ​​@@TheMightyWolfie "all" Assassins have never been like that though. Bartolomeo in AC 2 was a brute. And in brotherhood and revelations some of your assassin recruits wore heavy armor and had heavy weapons. Not all assassins even fight and kill. Mirabeau from Unity was a political figure yet the leader of the Assassins. Machiavelli from brotherhood didn't even have a hidden blade. Being an Assassin is about the "idea" of resisting tyranny and control.

      @@jaloniwilson The Spaniard actually have a very good video about this. Post Altair, since the power dynamics have changed, the assassins need people who are not just your default sneaky assassin. How will you fight a war if your assassins don't use strong armor and are 100% against combat? How will you collect good information if you don't have powerful allies? It's pretty important to understand that assassins don't need to be stealth gods, but ALL of them understand the foundations of the creed and apply the idea of hidding in plain sight in different ways. Back in the day people talked shit about Jacob in Syndicate but he's actually applying the concept of hidding in plain sight with his gang. He's working in the shadows, creating a strong gang to fight the templar influence in the streets. It's not stealthy but it is a very assassin thing to do.

      Assassin's Creed Shadows is an RPG. I don't think we've been given any explanation on how much of an effect that will have on combat and stealth. There's a chance that it could be like the others where an enemy 3 levels above you is a damage sponge that's able to do 1 hit kills.

One time they brought back some of those European armours and weapons, the emperor at first refused to believe that those were made for humans as they were too big for "human size". And as for the Japanese they were even shorter than Chinese people. During world war two Chinese people used to call the Japanese envaders "Little devils".

    So my final thoughts. AC shadows looks like a very fun ac game. Naoue moves like a ninja she will definitely be my prime character when I play this game. It will be a very FUN playthrough. With that being said THO, the one thing I will judge about it and many of the previous ACs is the lack of parkour animations and variety! It’s been 10 years since ac unity, 10 years… now naoue moves even faster than basim but I still see the same basic parkour animations from origins and so on… this is an RPG ac game so it’s chill right now. But I just feel like devs are putting parkour animations and uniqueness in the backseat which I think is what’s stopping ac from hitting new heights. I hope in the future devs remember this and how important parkour was to the AC franchise and start bring this back to the surface! I just imagine how sick these games will be when parkour gets that respect back and you CHAIN that together with the spectacular stealth as well. Like sideways wall runs, and flowing up and down parkour like unity, add some creativity they can do it to the parkour! Cause it’s been years since unity and that is still peak parkour to this date! It’s something to keep in mind that’s all, still a very promising game ahead of us with Shadows. (And cutscenes should add in motion capture!)

    Regarding the narrative side of things, i hope Naoe is a Connor Kenway- esque character in terms of characterisation, without the flaws of the writing of Connor. I hope we get the outfit from the teaser trailer, the one with the traditional beaked hood and long sleeves.

    Just to point out at 5:58 the reason there are three abilities is because there wasn't a fourth one equipped. Since there is the fourth slot on the right side it's obvious only three abilities were shown odds are there are going to be alot of unique ones they intended to keep secret until we actually play it.

      This game would have less detractors if its marketed as another brand other than the AC franchise.
      Which should have been when odyssey was first made public.
      It should be time to let go of the AC trademark & start another franchise.
      The thing is, just the AC logo slapped on a game makes the cash flow and kicking the hornets nest to advertise games is the trend now. Any publicity is good for business, i guess.

    I think people who love the last trilogy for the gameplay don't need much more, since it was basically just combat, and this one looks much much better with weight and cadence. But thank God this time there is an assassin-like character with some depth.

    Ngl, I absolutely hate the NPCS bowing down to Yasuke. They should have the opposite reaction, seeing as Japanese people were extremely racist at that point in time. Just look at how the main character from Shogun is treated, that’s a way more realistic portrayal of the time. Specially since Yasuke and the British guy from Shogun have basically the same status, both being “hatamoto” for a lord.

      I'm sorry to say, but that part of the fanbase (at least the ones who are part of the fanbase, not just random, onlooking ubisoft haters) are pretty delusional. Also, it's nothing new, with every game, the fans get more divisive. It's like each game was a point in the series where a lot of players decided "yeah, that's exactly what I want, everything after this is trash". I mean, I know a handful of people who only love the first game and hate everything else that came after. Sorry about this little rant, I've seen enough hate in the past couple days, and just meant to explain that this happens all the time, at least within the AC community, tho it's true lots of other people who have never touched the games pop in often to say they look trash.
      The game looks absolutely amazing, it's still not a perfect mix, but it by far exceeded my and most other people's expectations, the combat looks way better polished and more interesting and the stealth is such a huge improvement in the series.

They don't get good reception from "gamers" neither do COD, battlefield, EA's sports games and fortnite yet these games sells heaps to the point where Ubisoft was puttng them on yearly at one stage. Now I don't want to put AC games in the same bracket as the other 3 since its a single player story driven game thats not infested with microtransactions but we can't deny that this series does also attract lot of casual gamers which in turn makes "gamers" to hate on the AC titles. If you want to see some unbiased takes about AC games, its always better off watchhing AC fan channels rather than looking at the comment section of IGN and Gamespot.

    I'm a fan of your videos, but as an Asian I need to criticize certain elements in the gameplay that misrepresent Japanese culture:
    1. The farmer's clothes are more to Chinese and Vietnamese attire than Japanese
    2. Torri gates are an entrance to Shinto shrines, not towards a village. Yet we see Yasuke riding horses entering the village passed through those gates, which is wrong. Ghost of Tsushima did the research better than Ubisoft apparently.
    3. Cherry blossoms is during spring and rice planting is during end of spring, both cannot co-exist in one frame.
    4. Yasuke entering Fukuchiyama, the village is under Mitsuhide's territory, who is responsible for killing Oda Nobunaga during Honno-ji incident. The fact he can passed through guards till the center of the town is baffling beyond reasons. The guards would attack him in full force once they saw him wearing the armour with Nobunaga's crest.
    The fact the Westerners still lump all Asian cultures in Japan shows their racism, ignorance and orientalism, despite Ubisoft calling themselves progressive.

      Tbh tho, it's not like yasuke here is th 1st character in th whole saga to have such an open n aggressive fighting style; he's not even officially an assassin. In ac 2 mario auditore n bartolomeo d'alviano were both assassins n members of th brotherhood, but since they were also th leaders of th respective mercenary factions of monteriggioni n venice/rome they had a fighting style of brutes, especially bartolomeo w/ his bianca. Mario was even th mentor of th entire italian brotherhood before handing over th role to macchiavelli n then to ezio, despite almost never having a stealth approach. Edward 2 frm ac 4 wasn't much for stealth either, w/ all those cannons n mortars on his jackdaw. Same thing for adewale in ac freedom cry. Kassandra n eivor didn't have stealth approaches either, but these 2 aren't actually members of th brotherhood, so they don't rlly count. I mean.. even in th historical 1st ac of 2007 th stealth wasn't exactly something canonically required in th game at th lore level, given that th levantine brotherhood was a public organization at th time, w/ masyaf being their sovereign state; so, how do u act stealthily when th organization u are part of is well known in th public consciousness throughout th region u operate in? In ac 1 th stealth part was only required when u had to get close to th target in question, but then their execution had to be public to send a message, cause that's what al-mualim wanted

    I'm most excited for the stealth. Naoe's gameplay was hype; I imagine some of the AI was dumbed down so they could show off as many new features as possible, and I'm excited to see what it looks like without any training wheels. I also feel like the combat they showed was dumbed down for cinematic effect; there's no way enemies won't try to interrupt you while you're trying to combo their buddy. I really wanna see how it looks like when the enemies don't line up to die one by one.

      nah they should have not implemented a samurai(well this kind of depiction of a samurai) to an assassins creed game since historically and fits in the ac that a samurai is a shinobi since it is a job of a samurai.....and makes sense its a japanese character not a sore thumb of an african

      You're hating on a game that didn't even came out, wait until it comes out, see what it is like than if it's bad you can hate on it, but chill for now, have some faith that the game will be good, if it isn't fair enough you can hate on it, but for now chill
