However, they have not made major changes despite having released more than 15 Assassin's Creed games. They still have the opportunity to make the game more unique by incorporating new tools and mechanics that would significantly alter the gameplay while staying true to the essence of the Assassin's Creed series. Although parkour has returned, the mechanics associated with it have not been improved. Parkour remains a simple one-button action, which is even inferior to the parkour mechanics present in Assassin's Creed 1. In contrast, the gameplay mechanics in Assassin's Creed: Revelations were greatly enhanced and introduced fresh, innovative elements compared to Assassin's Creed: Mirage. It's puzzling why they are not leveraging their substantial budget, pre-existing gameplay assets from previous games, and their wealth of experience in creating this type of game.

Rampant microtransactions, lack of unique design philosophies across nearly every current IP, internal misconduct, etc etc. Im just a big fan of the older AC games, and Mirage has been clearly shown to be somewhat of a return to form. It is also a big step in the right direction for Ubisoft, if they begin to adopt Mirage's design philosophy across their other IPs (smaller scale game, more focused experience and development goals, $50 price tag). Im still hesitant, and will be until launch, but Mirage is undeniably exciting for a veteran AC fan, based on everything that has been shown so far.

[@redhoodie4111]

why would the Levantine brotherhood have a statue of the mentor of the Roman brotherhood...? If anything, they'd be more likely to have a statue of Darius because he's from a significantly closer region. Not to mention, the *same* statue as it appears in AC2? We have statues that were sculpted in the late 1400s that have only survived as well as they have because they were kept in air tight rooms. People devoted their lives to the upkeep of one singular statue. You're talking about a statue that would be at least 600 years old, have been transported a minimum of 4,399 kilometers (and that's using today's measurements with highways designed to be the most efficient path from point A to B). Not only is it unrealistic to expect them to have a statue of an Assassin that branch of the brotherhood would have never interacted with, its absurd to think it could be the same statue that appears in AC2 when the standards for the upkeep of statues were pretty much non-existent until the Renaissance.

I like the narrative-driven skill progression and emphasis on tools. It makes much better gameplay feeling that the stakes are high and that we really need to plan our approach. The sense of danger is part of the thrill of playing an Assassin and when you can just mow down your enemies without effort there's no real incentive to be strategic. I also hope Basim's finished character model will be reminiscent of his original design in Valhalla, as for now he doesn't exactly resemble him and his face is so very recognisable it should be done right. It will be nice to see that mysterious trickster personality start to surface in young Basim.

Its really hard to animate properly. But then again they could at very least show like he just throw daggers. Pretty much like mark and execution ability in Conviction and Blacklist

[@DatAsianGuy]

Agreed. It feels quite lazy imo. Batman Arkham Knight did it. As well as Ghost of Tsushima had a similar chain assasination ability.

[@connermiles7425]

@@MrVoland44 It might be hard to animate but not hard when they have multiple animators working on it. They have both staff and money at this point they can't pull that excuse they aren't indie. They make millions with this franchise.

I am so excited for Mirage, I can’t wait to play as Basim!😄

I’m so happy with this game already. Can’t wait

[@Ic3h0rnEt14]

The more I see and hear about this game the more optimistic I feel. The parkour at 0:25 looks nice and quick, and the combat looks like a cross between Origins and the old school games.

[@starbirds007]

But it's sad that the parkour won't have enough depth, as it is the same system as valhalla but sped up.

[@nava6474]

it looks everything but smooth and fluid

[@Mokip00]

​@@nava6474It dosen't look that bad.

I think when he gets his master assassin robes the parkour gets a lot quicker

[@mutedust8229]

Yes! I cannot wait for this. I like how the combat looks and that you can change outfits, dyes, weapons, etc. It's an older style game with a modern spin to it, and I love it.

seems surprisingly; freely, smooth.

Ikr im so happy they didnt use the same valhalla animations and make new combat for basim which looks fast and brutal

I'm still super excited for Mirage, but personally I liked the old Assassins Creed combat system, specifically the ACIVs combat system.

Hope those mirage stealth videos turn out great 🙏

[@theangryimp1345]

Me too, but unimpressed with yet more pushing of female eivor. Sell a choice, and then you must respect it. The game looks awesome, but it's the last I buy. I was in the process of making my own KZbin channel. Where I'd show builds and history mixed in with assassin's creed. In preparation for Mirage, I planned to make a "how to fight like an assassin in valhalla" and a "historically accurate berserker" build videos. But the story makes no sense. I have been waiting weeks and weeks for ubisoft to fix misgendering in game (thay told me they would look into it and get back to me) and the "fsns" always call you names if you say you don't like the female leads forced on you when it's sold as a choice. As if me saying kassandra and female eivor are bad means I hate all women.... and to top it off ubisoft under the guise of cannon only use female eivor and kassandra but make room for aya and evie but not odin and even when it's cannon odin is make in dawn of ragnarok thay stream it with female eivor and show pictures with female eivor. Ubisoft changed all the pictures on xbox store to female eivor but still had a 50 50 split on dawn of ragnarok. And just didn't include alexios players or male eivor players in the anniversary yet made room again for aya and used evie with no Jacob..... This company deserves its failure. I'll get Mirage because it's a bone that chucked us. But I'm done with Assassin's creed moving forward.

[@itzorca3997]

@@theangryimp1345 while I agree that evior may have been a little forced, the other three were solid female characters in my opinion, especially Aya, she deserves her own game

[@wingspantt]

Every single sentence of this video was perfect. That means this game's direction is on point and/or you have a killer PR team. Good going either way lol

As an OG I've never been so hyped! Thank you for bringing it back team if you see this comment!

So good to see so much resemblance to AC1 and Altair. Looks good, hopefully the game will be as good as it looks in these trailers.

[@dajoker8998]

Altair is Francisco Randez French Canadian

theyalso showed that theres going to be a filter that makes it look duller and darker (like ac 1) i am definitely playing eith the filter on 😂

Kudos to the team for putting the effort into all having the acsent of the sands.

[@zarban]

i have played all the AC series so far and when i first got to see basim in valhalla i kinda felt connected to his charachter. he gives me ezio vibes and i truly wanted to play ezio all again AC series has all ways been my favourite. I hope basim would surpass all the series 🙏♥♥♥🙏

[@dbxniker7484]

im so glad there giving us this much information! shows there not embarrassed of their game

[@SanosEdge]

Basim Ibn Ishaq, the ultimate assassin. His master outfit is a interesting take on Altair’s outfit

[@EnnuiPilgrim]

The ultimate Assassin was Desmond.

[@abdurrehmanali7]

Desmond is a modern assassin. And I love him. However…no assassin has ever done more for the Order or so much in one lifetime…than Altair Ibn La Ahad. He was a Master Assassin at 24-25…Grandmaster/Mentor at 26….began Assassin’s training at age 9 and died protecting the Apple of Eden alone at 92 years of age. Wrote Codex pages that helped Ezio became the assassin he became…left a legacy so lasting and impactful that his name is taken in reverence even by the modern day Assassin’s. I know Desmond literally sacrificed himself to save the planet…but none of that would’ve been possible without Altair saving the Order and leaving instructions for him.

[@EnnuiPilgrim]

@@abdurrehmanali7 Yes, Altair is revered and has done a lot, but skill-wise, Desmond has the upper hand from the bleeding effect. He has Ezio and Connor's skills on top of Altair's. So I don't think anyone is as good as him.

[@xil3ntkha0s]

@@EnnuiPilgrim so they found a way to end him

[@cjware316]

​​​​@@EnnuiPilgrimTrue story... I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of the people commenting are younger fans, and the "Bleeding effect" isn't touched on, pretty much at all in the newer titles. Which is kinda crazy come to think of it, because a huge plot point of the earlier games was that Desmond needed to learn the skills of his Master Assassin ancestors to be prepared to take on the templars.. and the fact that with the bleeding effect he could learn what took his ancestors a lifetime in only a few days.

[@Baralai]

I’m a huge fan of the prince of Persia series. Recently been relating them out of nostalgia. This is giving me such P.o.P vibes. Especially the slowing down time for speed kills. I love this type of environment and think they do just a great job at portraying a mystical, magical setting. And now they are even releasing a prince of Persia skin for this game 💚 You can get the dagger of time as a weapon and I’m freakin stoked!

[@Lai43]

Just like starting again. Love it!

[@robobmc6936]

I think this game is a step in the right direction of an assassins creed revival . It’s built on the bones of Valhalla this is clear, and I hope that the changes they have made will fix it. If this goes well, maybe Ubisoft will get the message and have another stab at REAL Assassins Creed. I don’t think we are quite there yet, but maybe I’ll be wrong in October.

[@b71488]

They’re making an rpg one after this so they’ll probably rotate between the 2

[@moshunit96]

The next game is a full size rpg and its already well into development. This was just a way ubisoft could make fast money and keep their shareholders happy. Valhalla outsold every ac ever made. Anyone thinking this is the new direction is going to be disappointed.
