    I love this return to their roots. I miss the assassin apprentices and the Unity parkour. But most of all, I miss feeling like an assassin learning the ways of the Creed and becoming a Grandmaster instead of some muscle-bound warrior who occasionally, when necessary, assassinates. If I only had to get one of those three things, and it looks like I do, then I think I'm going to get the one that matters most. I wonder if there'll be any weird out-of-Animus things, or if the focus of this game will just be pure AC the whole time.

    So is this game going to be like ACII where you actually feel like you are in a simulation where the game is divided into sequences and you get that cool collapsing effect when a sequence is over? Or 100% synch challenges? And hearing Rebecca and Shaun feeding you real time info while you play? That’s the stuff that made AC amazing and when they say they are returning to roots I really hope they do

    The game looks amazing as expected. It clearly uses the same software of AC Valhalla, but the design of the city allows the gameplay to looks like a more traditional AC game when traversing and assassinating. I like how the combat is similar to Valhalla, has some elements of fantasy and also cool animations enemies are stunt. Overall looks like I'll enjoy the game.

      It just pulls at my heart. Some of the best assassins games where the beginning. Yes it was repetitive but they did it so well for what they could back then. I also wonder how they will do the "current" story as well. I like Desmond's the most. The way your hawk can be attacked is a great thought. I'm surprised it wasn't done before. I'm also sooo glad that blending has made a comeback. Might have been small but the conversations you hear can sometimes be interesting.

      It's not copying the old games. It's looking at them for inspiration, which can be seen gameplaywise through this entire video. Basim isn't teleporting, as he can't do that. It's a mere hack/glitch in the Animus. Like Evies cloak or Arnos ability to morph into civilians/gaurds.

    I think the teleport thingy was pretty unnecesary. If they really want to have something that helps you assassinate various enemies in fast succesion, then they could make something of a "buff" to the movement, like moving faster, jumping further away (the parkour system still needs to be worked on nonetheless) & the enemies moving/reacting slightly slower for a short time; A good justification for this prolly could be the effects of some kind of drug or spices. That way you could manage your way of going around and being quick without breaking the immersion and realism so much.

      You do realize in the second game the final boss fight literally has you fighting clones of a templar. AC has always had sci-fi relations in its story and gameplay. At least now we're actually assassins and not a no fall-damage taking demigod who has no relation to the Creed.

    As much as I love them going back to the roots of the series, the parkour looks like it has been heavily simplified, not in the best way. The city structure is great and allows for interesting traversal, but the animations and number of moves seem a little limited. It's a shame they didn't incorporate some animations from Unity's parkour system. Still solid though

    Unpopular take: I actually like the teleporting ability. It's a nice gimmick to have and it ain't different at all from the RPG abilities. TBH it kind of makes me even more immersed, since it feels like Basim is so fast, quiet and delicate that nobody can even see him.

  • @thepriteshsoni
    @thepriteshsoni Před 8 měsíci +1

    First and foremost, I am happy that Mirage is bringing some of the original Assassin's Creed gameplay and combat. It truly feels like an Assassin's game and not some mythical Valhalla bullshit (I'm not here to spark a debate. I'm an old school AC fan, and I don't like the modern games after Unity - that's just my opinion)
    Having said that, what my heart still craves for is the verticality of the world design that older Assassin's Creed games nailed perfectly - 1, 2, all the way till Unity.
    The vertical game design with tall buildings, climbable statues, towers, etc. is what breathed life into Assassin's Creed's parkour!. Without the 4-5 storyey buildings prevalent every 100m, one never truly feels the eagle-eyed magnanimity of the game!
    I know that Baghdad as a city is not vertical by nature, but, I sincerely hope that Ubisoft creates a current gen AC game similar to Unity (which had the best combat and parkour in an AC game)
    The satisfaction and elevated experience you get by climbing atop a viewpoint every 50-100m is a big part of what made AC a spectacular gaming experience!
    As a die hard fan, I want that experience back!

    I think this is a good step in the right direction for Ubisoft. We have already seen Basim, and they set his story up great in the trailer. We've all wanted an Assassin's Creed game WITH AN ACTUAL ASSASSIN. They've done a good job with the stealth, and added in the tool wheel for it again. We didn't get to see what the combat is like much from this gameplay, but I have confidence that Ubisoft will fix that when the time comes too. It would also be cool to see Altair's mentor because this is only 90 years before AC 1 took place.
