ac unity parkour is super relaxing

[@Ic3h0rnEt14]

I'll never understand why Ubisoft abandoned this parkour system so quickly. They literally released a brand new game 5 days ago, and this game from 9 years ago STILL looks better than every title since.

[@watermonsters1810]

1000% To me, the games released after Unity have felt like they were initially released on mobile and then "remastered" for PC/console, if that makes sense. I woulda bought Mirage if it had this same parkour system, but MAN does Ubisoft know how to disappoint ☹️

[@Anthony0403]

i believe most of these parkour movements work motion captured by an actual person then they seamlessly put them together which im assuming might be more expensive than what they are doing currently. The parkour in here looks so much smoother than the new mirage

[@dukkibhoy1990]

​​​@@watermonsters1810syndicate literally uses this system 😂 also to say they felt like mobile games is just straight stupidity 🙄

[@purefoldnz3070]

this is not the same game, its been heavily modded.

[@nomercy8989]

Go and try playing Unity. It controls like dogshit and Arno gets magnetically pulled towards every random prop round him instead of going in a straight line.

[@templarsocks1631]

It's insane how good this game still looks after a decade

[@Exhalted1]

This game was actually raytraced then baked which is extremely time consuming so most games don't which is why the lighting has that raytraced feel to it even though it's faked

[@HenryTownsmyth]

Yes, that sentiment made me install this game twice only to uninstall it after realizing how the pedestrians change their clothes and faces on runtime every time you get closer to them or turn around to see them. And if that doesn't happen, the facial and clothing details pops in and out randomly. You can see that at 2:32. If he kept walking, you would see a lot more of that and you can't ignore it.

[@madebyruud]

I just love how smooth the jumps are where the character turns mid air to angle himself better for the upcoming jump/run. You don't see that in modern AC games.

[@MarvelousGames07]

Ubisoft - we have finally made the perfect parkour system in the AC Series. Also Ubisoft - Time to start devolution.

[@TheOne214]

AC Unity truly has the best parkour system than any other AC games

[@177SCmaro]

Unity system looked really good, when it worked, but I would argue AC1 and the Ezio games had the best functioning parkour system. In other words, Unity has the edge in form, AC1-Ezio has the edge in funcion. There was just something the felt really good about parkour in those early games were, for me, Arno's parkour seems more like I'm suggesting were he go rather than direction it, and it's kinda janky and floaty sometimes were with Altair and Ezio if feels like I'm directing where they go even though most of the animations are nowhere near as flashy as Arno's.

[@joselazo6786]

i mean not really when the characters flies 1 meter across the roof but it has a pretty realistic animations anyways

[@nerdtom4513]

No actually it's classic AC 1-revelations. AC Unity is the best looking parkour though not the best parkour.

[@namedsome]

[@v1nigra3]

In 5 minutes of parkour in unity I knew I touched the best parkour game ever, the things I had done was unbelievable and sooo fluid 💯

[@SalvationCode]

Unity's parkour had flaws. It was unpredictable at times, and some of the jumps were a little too silly and unbelievable. But when it worked properly? It was a sight to behold. I wasn't the biggest fan of ACU stripping a lot of the tools & combat features away compared to AC3/ACBF and Rogue (no unarmed combat and disarms, no hidden blade combat, no tool counters, etc...) But I absolutely adored what they did with parkour and city design. It felt truly next gen in 2014, and it somehow still feels that way in 2023. Purely because we've seen nothing but regression when it comes to parkour and cities in AC since then. Ubi needs to go back and look at what worked with ACU and emphasize its strengths in new AC. Mirage was a small, but meaningful step in that direction (in terms of city design). But playing around with its painfully dull and jerky free-running system made me realize just how much we've lost since old AC. Unity is not a masterpiece in my eyes, though certain parts of it continue to age beautifully. There's a lot to learn from that, and I truly hope Ubisoft starts taking note.

[@JeffreyColey]

"and some of the jumps were a little too silly and unbelievable." …Except for the fact that ACU's change to the movement toolbox was literally inspired by French freerunners. A whole ass doc was released about it in '15. What is research?

[@SalvationCode]

@@JeffreyColey Not the moves that were the issue. It's the distance covered in certain jumps between buildings and rooftops. Arno will sometimes look like he's flying because the game is incredibly generous with how far holding down Space/Parkour Up will fling you. It was flow-breaking and silly at worst, and mildly jarring at best. Doesn't mean it wasn't inspired by real freerunners, lol.

[@dosgringoscroata]

Just look at the 00:19 - 00:24, like the camera is pushing Arno and also the jump distance is so unrealistic. But yeah, the animations are beautiful, and a bit on non-realism doesn't make it bad if it gives the flow to the movement.

[@msid7748]

Exactly! You summed up my own feelings well. I will miss the feeling of moving like a beast (AC3) and fighting like one (all the previous games except AC1). I miss the hidden blade combat, especially the use of double blades. I loved the idea of an unarmed assassin killing his opponent with their own weapon. At least Unity gave us new tools to play around with, along with a dedicated button for projectiles. Which predictably Ubisoft took away from us in the next game. Still, Unity deserved to be the future of AC games. Should've been a trilogy at least.

[@nikkogerol]

I'd say they improved the combat... I mean Black Flag's combat is the easiest shit ever i.e. you get one counter and then you can chain kill an entire army in under a minute. ACU made the combat more balanced and less broken... though it does stink they removed unarmed combat...

[@daeng.uppiiii]

Arno : The flying Frenchman

[@DrJohnnyApocolypse]

The parkour was top tier but also the music and audio effects were masterful, that feeling of leaping quickly through a persons living room to the next alley and hearing the ambient sounds change from exterior sounds to interior sounds then back again, especially during the riots and the interior lighting was gorgeous especially the heavy candle light, the hard natural light from doors and windows, metal reflections, facial detail & animations.. little details but put it all together & it’s the most immersive to date, very very well done.. More of this please

[@nomercy8989]

I love how everyone who gets these videos recommended downloads the game only to find out Arno controls like pushing a 500lb fridge on wheels up a slope made of ice while being magnetized to every random prop within a 5ft radius all the time.

[@itsjags]

Yeah, parkour in this game can be very frustrating. Arno does things almost at complete random, which means I have to do many retakes of the clips.

[@msid7748]

Lol. I read a comment that said Unity is more enjoyable when you watch gameplay rather than when you actually play it. Currently playing it rn and you're right.

[@clevernamerighthere9240]

In my experience it can be a bit tricky but if you know the game well enough rarely will it be genuinely the games fault you did a move you didn’t intend

[@Evrimomono]

This game's parkour and swift hidden blade kills were something else. The thrill of running and butchering random people while doing so is an experience.

Parkour is so nice in this game when it works, a lot less fighting with the system than I think most people assume, especially compared to mirage

[@morallygray6527]

[@_Kakoosh]

I don’t think people tend to mention the audio associated with the freeruning in this game, but it’s incredible. If you take the time to really learn this game’s janky parkour system it can be some of the smoothest and most rewarding gameplay in the series.

Arno Dorian had that kind of well educated gentleman manners that made me remember Ezio. Overall thats the last character in AC franchise to make me feel something cool. Since then they have all an empty soul. Even Elise character was cool and interesting plot concerning her. She is the best secondary character from all AC games so far.

Hey, I don't know if I'll make a video or not but I will try and explain as much a I can here All of this is while holding forward (W) and High profile When at the perch at 3:16 press free-run up (Space) which initiates a dive. while in the air mash free-run down (E) to get the spin, Then descend on the the perch ( 3:19 ) and keep holding free-run down to swing down ( 3:21 ). Then as soon as you swing down mash free-run down to get the spin again. Hope this helps!

It was actually kind of stiff and choppy with some smooth moments here and there. The smoothest and most satisfying parkour was from AC1, AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Everything after that went just downhill with a slight bump in the right direction with Unity, before going downhill very fast again.

[@msid7748]

Peak. Absolute peak. Yes, the story is nowhere as good or long as the Ezio trilogy. Yes, the parkour is floaty and buggy, and not as responsive as AC1 and Ezio trilogy. But you know a game was made with love when even a few notes of the main theme gets you nostalgic. When the protagonist's movement oozes with fluidity, personality and style. Anyway, you killed it with the music choice.

I remember when this game came out every one destroyed it because of its glitches (which honestly were adressed in a matter of weeks) now people complain because of recent AC games🤦 you! Are the reason why AC is the way it is now. Ubisoft abandoned this style and parkour because people were complain about everything that had yo do with the game, aah but now that Unity became popular everyone loves it. I was an early adopter of this game and absolutely loved it back then in 2014 it was beautiful. And the only thing i saw online was people showing that hollow face bug and making fun of it. Its a shame that they destroyed Unity like this... And if you say it's Ubisoft fault just listen, Ubisoft is gonna make whatever game they sell the most, Valhalla and Odyssey sold a bunch of copies, meanwhile Unity didn't do as good in the first 2 years and only got hate, so its completely understandable that a company would want their product to sell more so they changed absolutely everything. One of the big complais with Unity was that the games were getting repetitive and it was more of the same. That's one of the reasons Ubi decided to change with Origins. Anyway, that's what we get because a bunch of kids hated on this amazing game back then. We only have the memory of a great game here, cuz Ubi it's not going back to this (i hope im wrong)
