I'm pretty sure Ubisoft is going to let us down with parkour in this one too. But we have not seen enough to say anything on it. Do you think it would have been valid if I said Unity's parkour looked like ass because of what the guy in this short showed us? Unity's parkour goes very deep and this short doesn't do it justice. Do you think it's reasonable to deduct that Unity's parkour is bad based on what you saw from this segment? Stop being illogical. Your entire argument can be applied to Unity too.

That's what i liked about unity, you could look like you belonged, unless i put on heavy armor and went fuckin hear ye hear ye with a big ass weapon, even then it was realistic and simply a thing of plate armor.

The best boi shiny sword was perfect, one of a kind, and way better looking then the absolute wuxia level ice fire dragon soul glowing flame axes and god weapons you could have from the beginning in Valhalla.

I say after 3, honestly. Even then, the last decent game after that was Origins.

[@strateks9611]

What charm? If you guys wanna cry about what AC was supposed to be then cry about AC2 starting it all. AC had a very strong focus on Sci-Fi that Ezio's trilogy dropped slowly and only went downhill from there, turning into more fantasy than Sci-Fi by the end (after Ezio's trilogy, Ezio's trilogy just didn't focus so much on it). If it's about gameplay then objectively Unity is the best. Almost anything the older games did, Unity did it better. Specially Parkour, Stealth AND combat. AC's combat was a joke with how easy it was, Unity at least made you have to pay attention, it also meant you had a good incentive to play stealth. The RPGs have a different combat so I can't say anything there, I like the older ones better, but that's subjective. You only have a point when talking about how good the stories being told are. Where the only good one from the latest games is that of Origin's. Stop being blinded by nostalgia and bias. It's so annoying just how biased people are in this community.

[@wastedtime4962]

@@strateks9611 Absolute facts, people hate unity but that game made you feel like an actual assassin. They were progressing/perfecting the AC formula with that game, but completely folded their vision from the pressure of the sheeple that couldn’t see the greater vision because the game was buggy at launch. I still wonder what AC would look like today if they just kept building off of that(especially coop it was the best in any ac game) instead of these half-baked hack n slash rpg’s they make now, what a shame. This used to be my favorite franchise, then origins came out after a 2 year hiatus. They might as well have given everyone who cared about the series before a middle finger.

Although the parkour in AC: Unity is pretty smooth, I always felt like it lacked some physicality, almost like Arno didn't have any weight. Even though the parkour style in the newer games looks a bit more "clunky," the physics are much better simulated.

[@JFVideos960]

I believe it's a valid critique since I've never seen Ubisoft (the developers of Assassin's Creed, in case you didn't know) say what Unity's parkour 'should be.'

@@unmobdeborderlands8409 Ratio-ed. Shows you who has more common sense. I'm not an ubisoft bootlicker but we can't call a game “trash” way before it's release. So far the only “trash” thing about it is the wonky horse movement in the trailer which they're probably patching up due to the obvious outrage. Hating on ubisoft just because of everyone else, does not make you look cool.

The thing is that since the recent AC games are still using the same assets since Origins, parkour won't be feeling ''new'' as long as they're using the same engine and base. Just like how Syndicate and Unity are the same as well in this regard. They need to change the system or rebuild a whole new gameplay for the series. It's been quite a time with this assets, I was expecting them to come up with something whole fresh, but it kinda sucks that they did not.
