AC MIRAGE | Showing off my secret hideout and a ton of complex parkour moves (4K, PS5)

Welcome to Olive Grove (that's what I'm calling this area)
There is a ton for me to unpack with this video, and honestly I'm not sure where to begin, so I'm just going to go for it.
First, If you are a regular viewer of my channel you may recognize the first little bit of parkour here from an earlier video. I apologize for reusing that portion, but it just fits nicely there and gets me to where I need to be for the rest of the run.
The origin of this particular parkour run is actually rooted in a different video. Footage for the other video has been recorded, but it needs A LOT of voice-over from me for it to ever see the light of day, but I decided against recording it because it was looking to be about 40 minutes long, and I know you don't have the time (or interest) for that. But since this video has deep roots in that one, I want to try to explain what's going on in my head.
I stumbled upon this strange little secret bureau-like area on accident. Something triggered in my brain and became obsessed with it. Something about how weird and secluded that area is and how I've probably passed over it a dozen times without noticing makes it feel very cozy and cool. So I started exploring the surrounding area and I noticed that this whole area is really unique. I even mapped out this area as defined by its own architecture, stretching all along the north edge of the wall. I can't really explain here everything I want to say about it here, that's what the video was going to be for. So anyway, this parkour run is a result of hours of exploring this area and was going to be the final portion of my video. It was meant to serve as a high speed tour/demonstration of the parkour opportunities of the area.
Next, I just want to briefly talk about the resolution of the video and why it looks funny. I'm stupid and am just now realizing I can record in 4K on my playstation, which is great. Unfortunately, it seems to kind of mute the colors a bit when I record at that resolution. And because of my video production situation, (I do not own a computer) my only option is to upload it directly from my playstation to youtube because my ps5 won't upload 4K videos to the app, which is what I always do
Then i download it to my phone where I can do color correction and captions and stuff. So thats why the colors look kinda dull. But that resolution do be sharp.
Finally, I just wanna say that recording a run this long in a game like this with all its inconsistencies and quirks is a nightmare, and I told myself I would keep recording it until I got it perfect. That didn't happen. There are a couple small mistakes between 4:58-5:08 that bother me, but they aren't bad enough for me to throw away the whole 7 minute video. It took me about 5 hours of recording to get it this good and I'm not doing it ever again.
I think that's it. If you actually read all this, I'm sorry.

I found it! It's along the very northern wall of the round city, just southeast of the harbiyah bureau and northwest of the mazalim courts. On the map there should be a trader icon just to the left of the mazalim. On the map, drag the cursor directly up/north of the trader icon until you hit the north round city wall. The house to the very left of your cursor is where the hideout is. for anybody who wants to find this temselves

[@Ropotopolous]

Correct. You get to be vice president of my new district.

[@brchh]

@@Ropotopolous thanks :)

[@BlazingBluexv]

Found it, I really love it 😭❤️

[@Ropotopolous]

@@BlazingBluexv it's such a cozy little area. I wish I could live there haha.

[@BlazingBluexv]

@@Ropotopolousno fr dude, ever time I play mirage I visit the hide out 😭

[@sizeable-cult3169]

You really gotta praise Ubi Bordeaux's world design

[@Ropotopolous]

Yep, they are legends for this one.

[@Ropotopolous]

Sizeable cult! Where are you? Are you ok?

[@samshudt2527]

brother you really killed it, i would be lost in your parkour and then see you go right back to your little hideout. blew my mind that you found so many uses to parkour in one little corner of the round city. props

[@Ropotopolous]

Thanks man! That's the cool part about this little area. All the architecture over there is awesome and then there's this crazy little secret area. I want to talk to whoever decided to put that down there.

[@triple7evenn]

Such a pretty little section. Reminds me of those "oasis" spots in certain areas in AC1 - a few benches, some leaves on the walls around, and, to top it off, a small fountain. Always liked hanging around those after parkouring for a while so my fingers rest for a bit 👌.

[@Ropotopolous]

There's tons of awesome benches here too. It's a great place to hang out.

[@UserNot_Known]

Ive been parkourinb in Black flag recently and have been loving it! might have to come back on mirage soon because of this video haha! great stuff.

[@Ropotopolous]

I was just playing black flag this morning actually

[@UserNot_Known]

@@Ropotopolous Do u like it?

[@Ropotopolous]

@@UserNot_Known sometimes. It's certainly not my favorite parkour in the series

[@UserNot_Known]

@@Ropotopolous I can see why, but i personally love black flag for the story and characters aswell as the sailing.

[@homecoversx]

everyone is so happy with the side eject

[@Ropotopolous]

It's something we've been wanting back since it disappeared

[@Krippinvirus]

Replayed ac 2 and my god the parkour was so ahead of its time even faster than this my a long shot something with how ezio moved jumped climbed etc had his own style definitely lacking in the newer ac games

[@Ropotopolous]

For sure. The OG games are unmatched.

[@ilmentore7]

You played a part in developing this game, stop lying to us😛 Never found that little spot, lovely video all around man! You’re doing great.

[@Ropotopolous]

It's an awesome area, I love it. I wanna get ubisoft to open up one of the doors down there in that secret area and have a little black cat that lives down there.

[@ilmentore7]

@@Ropotopolous if the idea was popular enough, the mad lads would add it. Ubisoft Bordeaux are certified GOATs now in terms of engaging with the community.

[@Ropotopolous]

@ilmentore7 I don't know anything about making a game but I think opening a door and adding some walls and floors that already exist in the game and a cat would be very easy.

[@BlazingBluexv]

Next ac game should be picking our own hideouts than already having one along with recruiting some noobs as well sending them to missions and we go with them

[@Ropotopolous]

Would be so cool to be able to choose our own hideout. And yes to bringing recruits back. I miss them.

[@darksoulsvet5456]

If ubisoft refuses to innovate the parkour at least give us what you’ve already given us before. Give us unity or Ezio trilogy parkour

[@Ropotopolous]

@@darksoulsvet5456 not unity.

[@BatsBeyondStar]

1:49 to 1:57 was SO SMOOTH. And 4:00 to 4:08 was INCREDIBLE. Dude you have skill.. Also your name Ropotopolous sounds very Greek, so thoughts on AC Odyssey?

[@Ropotopolous]

Haha! Thank you very much. Ya know, I was just a child when I created the name "Ropotopolous" so I didn't even really know what "greek" was at the time, and surprisingly you're like the first person who's ever told me that it sounds Greek (I am aware it sounds very greek) Odyssey is not my type of AC game. I want to love it but i just don't. But I do love the scenery of it because I have a bit of a fascination with greek culture and history.

[@BatsBeyondStar]

@@Ropotopolous Thanks a lot for the reply! By the way, have you ever thought of branching out to other games? Such as Spiderman PS4, Batman Arkham series, etc? I think there's a huge lack of potentially really creative "Batman Arkham Perfect Gliding" that you would easily fill the niche of.. TL;DR: Your style of traversal is so unique I would love to see you branch out to other games!

[@aronzin6145]

Wow 5 hours to record this, that's crazy, but the result is pretty cool, I like the secret place a lot, definitely I'm going to go there myself, thanks for sharing it... because you could have keep it secret

[@Ropotopolous]

I had a like 8/10 version of this run recorded in about 30 minutes. But I wanted it to be better. Finished the whole run fully with small mistakes maybe 5 more times before getting this one. I just wanted it to be as good as I could make it.

[@sebastianherrera6514]

Praying that AC red has at least one city where you can pull off shit like this 🤞

[@Ropotopolous]

It's absolutely necessary that it does.

[@Stealthful_]

Which Japanese city from that period (in real life) do you think would be suitable for parkour? I'm not really sure, but I may do some research.

[@Stealthful_]

Ubisoft will have to change the architecture for parkour even if it is historically inaccurate. They did that with most of the maps, to be honest (only, really, since Syndicate, which was created by Ubisoft Quebec, they didn't). Red is developed mainly by Ubisoft Quebec too.

[@Stealthful_]

Japan has lots of forests though, and back then way more, so I hope proper tree parkour makes a return with an improved version of AC3's mechanics. The ninja and shinobi are often portrayed to be tree-climbers and parkour masters - often trailing people from atop. Hopefully, we don't get those stick-like trees again just dotted around in Unity, Syndicate, Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, and get actual forests this time.

[@sebastianherrera6514]

@@Stealthful_ that’s the thing that worries me a bit when it comes to Quebec, they don’t seem like the type of studio that likes to make AC games in general, so it’s really a 50/50 if they do it well or not.

[@Stealthful_]

Very nice

[@Ropotopolous]

Thank you friend

[@Omar-Asim]

Wait is the special guest episode cancelled Or am I reading incorrectly

[@Ropotopolous]

Haha no but that won't be for a while
