something i think is worth pointing out is how in the majority of the footage shown, sonic isn't boosting and drifting at the same time, which is exactly how the mechanic was intended to be used. drifting being on the triggers was a last-minute change; originally, you were supposed to take your thumb off the boost button and hold the crouch button to drift (and you still can in the final game) so the levels and drift were designed with the assumption that you wouldn't be able to drift and boost at the same time.

I remember i used to rage because even if i were fast enough, i get a bad rank

0:04 this made me laugh when it really shouldn't. could've ended the video right there and I wouldn't be mad! it's the reason why I will always counterargue against the "generations drift is better" statements. what people want is not a DRIFT, they just want to do a SHARP TURN. there's a difference that these players never bring up and will instead label the mechanic as trash when failing to get the hang of it. an actual DRIFT is meant to be learned, because there's understeer and oversteer to take into account. the "drift" in generations is a literal sharp turn that'll get you through every corner without any momentum to think of. I won't say it's bad in gens though, just different. the mechanic in unleashed isn't perfect, it could use some tuning but it's far from trash. like the video shows, people should try not boosting for once and actually try to master a skill lol. if you do exactly that, you'll see that drifting + boosting in unleashed isn't impossible when you learn how it works (like the video shows, again). I miss the arcade-like feel of Sonic games. Unleashed was no perfect videogame but it's one of the last in the series that didn't hold my hand at every turn and actually made me figure things out for myself. I'm sure someone will make another video on the drift next year and I'll be there to defend it as usual

and yet people love to tell me that unity is fixed. lmao!

Reply my comment please

There's no longer mod to be found can you provide link

I knew I was doing something wrong

Unleashed's drift is great, but generations improved it

The hardest way of someone sayin Skill issue on the internet 💀

And it is the best looking drift, Generations onwards will have Sonic roll into a plain blue, deformed ball, also when running over dash pads, it looks so bad. Forces and frontiers messed up the jump ball too

It’s so annoying how there’s animations from unity like the assassinations and some parkour moves but it’s so restricted and contextual

Like is this a mod or did you change a few animations

Now how did you get those animations for ac origins that’s so cool is this a mod or what ? Or do you have to change in the animations within games directory

i wonder if there's a mod that will change stealth kill animation, i would prefer unity animation instead of simple animation of bayek

wow..how is that possible

Wait....WHAT??? This is actually in Origins?? I thought that it's a mod😱

It’s so stupid that they had all these unity parkour and stealth animations laying around in the game but Ubisoft didn’t want to utilise them

Ok

Cool finding, and I really like how he took down the first guy who is above his level

The fact it (usually) destroys the fence is actually a nuanced difference that could be useful for certain setups

If somebody can mod it to where it triggers the animation without having to run into the fence everytime that’d be awesome. I mean the animations already exist in the game files so it shouldn’t be too big of an issue

bro wants to be arno so bad

That is actually really cool. I’ll have to check this out. It would’ve been cool if they had used those animations for the normal assassinations as well

This is actually kinda crazy to me Like why not just have them play normally in rotation with the new ones?!?! There’s nothing wrong with these, they still look great

its not bad, you just dont use it correctly

The drift was a new concept and the same with the stomp. Which is why they feel better in Colors and Generations. They, or should I say"Sonic," have gotten better at using them.

You would love sonic r

It might not be perfect but it does work. There's just a "learning curve" to it.

Still walls that basim just refuses to climb or he just gets stuck on a plant pot or something

realest video ever.

some places were really cool in origins, i like the parkour

wich mod??

Yoo are you toggling the mods on a keyboard and playing on controller? How u so smooth

Oh even the jumps from beam to beam were better, if at least shadows has it like that

Gooddamn that was smooth

Now imagine if AC protags could do horizontal wallruns like their objectively superior predecessor, The Prince

How do you leap to grab the pole so consistantly?

This little snippet is mind blowing

Ok

holeeeee shit, hes so based (except revelations, the hookblades soooo trash)

Very solid run how good is the parkour mod? Would you compare it to the mirage, or Unity one?

Mod is an absolute game changer

Nice vid, i like it a lot

Bayek has definitely been keeping up with the recent epic WaryBubbles Unity clips…

Ya it's good, but it should have been a p.o.e ability activated bcz of basims DNA than basims hidden ability

the dives are close enough. welcome back Arno Dorian

I personally entirely hate it, the implications it holds on a lore/presentation level, the raw gameplay flow and interaction, the fact it's often usable as a movement crutch (this is 90% on the movement system), and how it's visually executed in game. It feels off, too easily acquirable, and visually disconnected from the utter weight that breaking an animus simulation with something of the sort should have. This is partially counteracted by their explanation of Basim entering a flow state or whatever, but the problem is that this explanation is utter dogshit, and that they had a miles better one literally served on a silver platter: (Valhalla spoilers for other readers) Considering Basim's own blood, after revival, is used for memory reproduction and synchronization, it would make sense for it to host insanely high sync potential, considering he's literally a walking, talking primary source. This high sync potential should allow for you to slightly break/fast forward the simulation for what should be a FAR higher cost, potentially affecting health (if it was interpreted as sync). This would tie it in with lore better, and potentially allow for the Animus to get FAR more involved in the visual end. Imagine assassin focus getting triggered causing a fake animus loading screen and UI to pop up, targets marked with thin, debug-screen looking lines and fake "code"/logs, heavier visual glitches on the screen, an abstergo/assassin logo appearing in a corner, big text boxes describing what's happening and the progress of the "fast forward", a robotic voice akin to AC1 notifying you of the fast forward happening, an older-school Animus loading noise revving up as if it's getting pushed as hard as it gets, your sync/healthbar steadily decreasing. But no, a couple of screen tears, particle effects, and sploingy glitch noises sealed the deal lol (God I fucking hate AF)

Ok

i honestly thought this was going to end in some kind of bug that ruined the entire clip
