  • In this video, I'll explore cut ideas and content that did not make it into their respective Assassin’s Creed game. I’m not focusing on these pieces of cut content to regret what could have been for this franchise, but rather to find interest in the concepts that were not included. With 13 current mainline games, there’s definitely bound to be a lot of unused or removed stuff, whether it’s from development, leaks or just early concepts.

    Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

    There's this piece of cut content where Achilles talks to Connor about his wife and child. It's genuinely a really nice scene and no idea why it was removed. For anyone interested in seeing it search up AC3 Animatic, it uses the audio from the cut scene and is literally the only trace I can even find of this existing.

    Nolan North's reaction was mine as well when I finished AC1, the amount of excitement that I had for AC2 was unbelievable and I was certainly not dissapointed, even ACB and ACR were amazing. Then AC3 came and the ending was sooooo underwhelming after building up all of that mystery and the anticipation for something far much greater early on from AC1. The usage of politics, religion and conspiracy theories mixed up together made the story so much compelling. God knows how much I miss old Assassin's Creed storytelling💔

Honestly, shame on Ubisoft for messing up this franchise, their main problem is that they don't know exactly what they want for their games. AC underwent 4 different identities and still they can't figure it out. They're just copying other popular hits the past few years and going with the trend. AC: Codename Red is just going to be a downgraded Ghost of Tsushima. Although AC Mirage was a step in the right direction but with its flaws.

    Assassin's Creed Victory was my dream AC game when it was leaked. I was seventeen and still pretty high on the series, and Victorian London was my most wanted setting for them to do. The leaks looked exactly like what I had imagined The protagonist even looked eerily similar to fan art I had made. I still mourn its loss, and the mediocrity we got instead.
    That was the second time the series broke my heart. The first was when they unceremoniously killed off Desmond and basically discarded the modern day story that had been developing over the entire series up to that point. Things have never really been the same since that.

    I honestly think the problem with Ubisoft based on these isn't just development and time constraints, it's also them just providing a teaser or trailer that sometimes included full gameplay, and providing the said cut content on there. It wouldn't be an issue had they just not show any of it and just stick to whichever plan they actually are going with to completion instead of promoting and showing people these concepts during development, during incomplete development especially since a lot of these could have been included in one way or another had there not have been "changes" in the narrative their building and they weren't done deciding yet in including these ideas. I'm not sure who's the lead in marketing that thought it was a good idea to show something just because it looked cool when it's not even completed development yet, but they need to chill out because it's borderline misleading.

    I could have sworn that one of the original missions showing off the gameplay for AC3 also wasn't in the game. Or, otherwise, I never found it. I remember seeing something where you climb up a cliff into a fort & interact with a a guy butchering a deer, who gives you a mission.

    HOW DARE THEY, The problem is, the OG Assassins Creed lore is way to detailed for new fans to understand or care about, they like the new direction of AC with the big open worlds and hacker slasher combat, they want AC to be more like a Souls game. The only problem is people like me, the Real fans miss the old detailed story teller Lore and Desmond Arc with the old combat. I am not surprised that AC is in the states it's in now, great video :)

      if honest i dont think people who enjoy newer ac games play it for lore or story they play it just for era its based in and combat it has, like they could be any type character in that era and not matter since story is so messed up and ruined now that story doesnt matter i think in past of any new ac game or modern time. Also thats best part to me with origins was setting and combat but for sure story telling was bad and so was characters you play as, since found it hard to like them as grew up playing from ac1.

    I feel like the Horizon games have become somewhat of a spiritual succcessor to AC's present day storyline. You got stuff like: exploring ancient bunkers to uncover an ancient truth, finding and utilising pieces of ancient technology (e.g. shield-weaver armour, master override, etc.) having to save the world from a second apocalypse, a certain faction resembling the Isu and even a spaceship (which makes you think of the scrapped Desmond ending idea). The Gaia hologram in Horizon 2 also gave me AC2 Minerva vibes.

  • @Barakon

    5:32 could have been a cutscene or a mission where you just aimlessly stumble around until you collapse in the street from how much you drank, then have them wake up being taken care of by the colonial templars.
    There could have been more nuance towards how the assassins were portrayed & have Achilles be revealed to have been a Templar spy all along who was sent to sabotage the creed’s attempt to raise their youth.
    Shay’s Mentor could have been the vice versa, further playing into the concept of “twisting the family” that could have been there since this is the first time Ezio’s family was used outside of the Ezio trilogy.

    i am actually glad that they changed the story of AC 3, it's still my favorite game of the franchise, finished it 4 times already, I remember I played when I was maybe 14, those late nights, it was the only game I actually enjoyed the present time missions as much as the animus ones, sometimes I would get out voluntary just to speak with the characters, and just listen to the ambience of that hub. I think the story of Desmond was great, it makes reference to "Hybris" and tells us that we can't run from our destiny, and him sacrificing represents him maturing, but also I think it represents more the fact that everything is already written, already planned, for everyone, maybe the Isu planned everything already, maybe the conflict between Juno and Minerva was so that assassin's had the impression that they could choose what happens next, when actually they don't have a choice, either they go on, or die, it makes me remember how religion, at least in Christianity is portrayed, if you go on the path of Christ you will have a good eternity, but if you don't then hell awaits you, but hey, we don't force you to take this path, we are just saying that If you don't follow Christ you will go to hell.

If and I seriously doubt and hope it dosen't happen get a "Remake", I'd love to see this and more as Shay has resonated well with myself and the community. But at the same time Goobisoft has really gone down in writing, so again I hope not because it will remain as a diamond in the rough in my eyes and I love it for that.

    Depressed Shay would have worked so well. Have him slowly come to terms with his situation. That leads to him fighting the local assassin backed gangs and brings him to the Templars attention. A real shame it got cut because Shay’s reasoning becomes a bit blurry but this could have explained it if the gangs were actively hurting or suppressing people while showing Shay not only coming to terms with his situation but also give a valid confirmation to his changing sides. They hint at this with the old couple but would have been better if the couple was attacked for Shay’s moves against the gangs.
    Edit: more time as an assassin would have also gone a long way towards making Shay as a Templar more meaningful. Especially if you couple that with the depression period showing him eventually take up arms against his former comrades.
