Assassin's Creed Mirage's parkour is GREAT, and here's proof.

I don't wanna hear anyone disparaging this game ever again.

[@Ropotopolous]

Okay, heres one for all you dorks who won't shut the hell up about Unity. I know about unity. I have played the hell out of unity. I bought unity day one just like i did with mirage. And i defended unity when everyone else was trashing it on launch, just like i am with this one. Chill the fuck out, theres room for both games to be fun. I like the new system in this environment. Unitys system is barely any less automatic than this one, its just flashier. I dont know when everyone started simping unity but i will also add that unitys parkour is desperately inferior to the ac1-revelations system. You can find proof of that on my channel as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIG0lp-dlL1jfNUsi=5TEPWRqFU6nVPbw6 Here's a nice unity video i made. Enjoy.

[@misterros94]

I've always felt Unity was better to watch than to play. In practicality the animations get in the way of accurate parkour. AC1 is my favorite for the simplicity and authenticity, and I am really enjoying Mirage.

[@YaToGamiKuro]

idk i just want black flag parkour back

[@KingOfXB0XLive]

Unity's was a lot less automatic purely because it let you manual jump. If Mirage just had that one ability it would be 10/10. But its just that ONE thing holding it back imo (Not hating on Mirage with this either, I like Mirage's parkour a lot too)

[@runbaa9285]

So for those confused as to how the parkour works, AC stopped using animation canceling system since AC Rogue. It's a system that's more in line with conventional platformers. It's why you can do things like manual side ejects easily in AC1-AC Rogue. For AC Unity and beyond, the parkour system functions on an animation priority system. The key to knowing how parkour works in AC Mirage is knowing the priority system of the animation for parkours. Consistently pulling off side-ejects in Mirage means knowing what allows side ejects in the first and place and setting yourself on the fly to allow it to happen.

[@robertjv]

I knew that after ac revelations

[@177SCmaro]

Which is really limiting. It feels like your fighting against the system and winning a cool looking animation Unity forward as opposed to AC1 and the Ezio games were it feels like you're working with, directing, the system to pull off something cool.

[@runbaa9285]

@177SCmaro yes, it is really limiting. Unity's system would have benefitted from being mixed together with the old system's animation cancels. One of the biggest problems with Unity's system was also that there were SO MANY animations that the animation priority system often confuses itself on what you want to do. How the parkour system worked in AC1-ACR is actually almost like how a fighting game combo works. Certain actions allow you to cancel into different inputs, and the animation it cancels into will depend on your input and the result. For example, in Street Fighter, Ryu will always be able to cancel the animation of his heavy punch attack into a Hadouken fireball attack during its active frames. The same principles apply in older ACs, where if Ezio does a run up the wall, he will always be able to cancel the animation of his wall run into a side jump during its active frames. AC Unity until up to AC Mirage largely ditches that in favor of an animation priority system that prioritizes smoothness and spectacle, which is closer to games like Uncharted, but on steroids in the case of Unity.

[@N0buKi]

game went from a climbing puzzle platform to a spider man esquee cool movement. maybe they should try working on merging both options together somehow.

[@Stealthful_]

Right.

[@DigitalHeliumJumper]

It's the Level Design that is GREAT, the actual parkour mechanics are still the same from the last 3 games. There is still very little manual control, and the ejects are still just contextual. But because of the way denser level design, the game essentially lets you do more ejects cause it thinks it's safe to do it.

[@steeks9132]

it also feels like they maybe tweaked the range of the ejects. my only point of reference is origins and in that, bayek could be right next to a legde and instead of ejecting onto it he could still sometimes just jump down. in mirage tht happens less

Does the parkour not feel janky to you? I feel like when you’re not following a path and doing you own root the parkour feels terrible

Interestingly enough dynamic vaulting around obstacles was introduced in AC3. They must’ve backpedaled on that once the rpg games came along as I haven’t played the newer ones . Playing Unity now, and I know that has what you’re talking about. I highly suggest Unity if you’re looking for some of the best parkour you’ll see in any game. It’s frustrating at times, definitely difficult to master, but it looks so damn good once you get the feel for it

[@AMT_AllMyThoughts]

Brooo thats literly the only change I dont like. In Valhalla u could always vault stuff when holding down O (on playstation) or climb it when holding X. But Mirage forces me to stop right before the object, wait a second and THEN climb it so I can use it to get the extra hight to jump on top of another object. Because holding X or O does the same thing here, and I dong know why they took that out.

Untrue.. as Mirage isn’t just set in just a big city, yes Baghdad occupies half of the map but the rest is still wilderness and the same was in some other games like ac2 with Forlì not being a huge city or AC3 with the whole wilderness.. I personally like having some countryside or more open spaces, they look cool and help to get out of the city only environment, what AC needs it's not one big city but one or more that are designed with parkour in mind.. no one would have bothered if odyssey or Valhalla actually had parkourable cities and a lot of open space

I'm having problems Side Ejecting in Mirage. By this gameplay, it looks like your close to mastering the movement. You probably have a good understanding of the rules for side eject. Can you Plz Lay it out for us. For me, it feels unreliable.

[@Ropotopolous]

It is unreliable. What works best for me, like for example at the beginning of this run right when I get to the top of the wall i let go of everything for a split second then quickly press the direction that I want to go and x (parkour) or o (drop down) at the same time and he will usually hop down. You want to make sure the ledge you're trying to side eject to is below you. Back ejects can sometimes gain height but side ejects always drop down a bit.

[@godzillazfriction]

'mastering the movement' there's literally nothing to MASTER because of how limited the parkour system is and not only that the side ejects aren't as effective as even Syndicate... they still function the same way just like with Origins

[@btchiaintkidding7837]

the ejects barely have any height gains so you can only kinda reliably(kinda) "eject" downward sideways, also it is understanding the layout or level design/animation priority which will allow to do cool parkour stuffs, not mastering the movement or anything like old games (AC1, ezio trilogy) cuz the parkour here is too contextual and dont allow absolute player control over Basim, compared to Altair,Ezio who were input sl@ves and allowed 100% player control over their every action/maneuver/animation etc. you dont master the movement, you just get better at dealing with the surroundings/level design/parkour objects

I know this is just a tuned up RPG trilogy parkour system but I gotta commend Ubi Bordeaux for the map design.

The original parkour system is by far my favorite. AC2 is the best overall game for parkour, with the best combination of parkour mechanics and level design. The amount of freedom and control in the ac1-rev parkour system is unmatched. Keyway parkour is okay. Not as good as the og.

They made stealth a priority, added an actual assassin, had a good protagonist, good story, great parkour, good stealth, good tools, and a classic AC level staging and setting. Mirage is incredible. I don’t care if you can do a “teleport” ability, you had a glowing orb that let you kill tens of guards in seconds in the first games. That doesn’t change anything. Stop kicking on Ubisoft for trying out new ideas for their games. Especially when it’s a smaller team like Bordeaux, who had a very small budget. They made a classic assassins creed.

[@theshlumpgod3405]

Definitely an improvement on the last 2 ac’s but even that’s not saying much. My favorite parkour system is definitely Unitys even though it definitely gets clunky and glitchy at times. and honestly I think I enjoy it so much because of controlled descent which I don’t really see it being talked about as much anywhere. It’s such a major feature that actually makes me feel like I’m in more control as well as making parkour feel more fluid going from point A to B. I revisited the originals not long ago and the descent is just barely better than it was then so adding that at least from unity I think would be a big change especially if they actually have time to work on it

[@goxfal3036]

I recommend changing the controls from pressing the joystick to run to hold the right big bumper to run. It’s so much more smoother. For me at least..

[@olivebuild]

Its not that the side ejects were bad in valhalla - origins its just that the buildings there werent focused on parkour. But i think ill get this game when its 2 dollars.

[@theMrTJF]

I couldn’t stand the parkour in this game. Then I realized my main problem was the controls. Changed the sprint button from L3 to RT like the old games and it helped me a lot. The parkour is pretty hard to control still compared to the accuracy of unity. But it works for Baghdad pretty well.

Please make a video about escaping guards while throwing smoke bombs and collapsing scaffolding (new feature in mirage) ❤️🙂

Feels like AC1 but somehow more clunky

Bruh if you were to have unity parkour in such a small scale map, you will be gliding through from one end to another

[@mizzix]

​@@Might0_Godthis is unity's parkour on a small scale map but with less animations and better level design

[@HuskySansVergogne]

​@@mizzixNo ? It's a modified version of the parkour we've had since Origin. I understand that we're all happy but come on, let's not say stupid things like that.

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

​@@HuskySansVergogneit's unity parkour with alterations. You can tell from the leftover unity animations.

[@parsashirali8957]

​@@Pedro_Le_Chefdoesn't take a minute to identify this as false

[@Deucejr716]

I don’t know if it’s a bug with my download or what, but Bassim completely loses his momentum (sometimes just stops running completely) after certain animations. I didn’t care much for Unity but the parkour was the thing I’ve always loved about it. It was new to have a way to free run down and up and Arno felt fast, fluid, and I felt free to run any way direction and angle I wanted. Mirage is dope so far. Bassim moves naturally and moves connect nicely but for me the only thing keeping it from 10/10 is just bassim losing his speed and how annoying it is to do side and back ejects. If it wasn’t for the map I think this system would feel very rigid and controlled where as AC-AC Rogue you could move any way at any point regardless of the animation.

[@billygovaert6198]

I just got into this game and I love it. ❤

[@ChainsawYeti]

I just wish o could jump where I want and climb/drop where I want. Maybe it’s just me but Ubi need to patch the parkour so Basim doesn’t keep getting caught on the thousands of boxes on roofs

[@Johndoe___8]

once they fix his slow start up run after every climb over, and make it more smooth like a continuous run, it will be great

[@IMelcro]

I'm not upset because it's not unity, I'm upset because there was potential and they just pulled it right from the last 3 games. Smh. It could have been something new and revolutionary, just like unity was at the time.

[@polishautistic2137]

yes new and small studio with not so big of a budget could make ac unity alike are u high?

[@polishautistic2137]

its still better than previous games but they worked with what they could

[@daxmj09]

Animations don't look as good as Unity but this is a big step up since the RPG games. The world and improved mechanics allow the parkour system to be actually worth spending the time and effort to master. This isn't the AC we really want but it's slowly heading there

[@josueosorio2969]

Still waiting for the proof

Assassins creed 3 started it and no one can tell me wrong the forest of trees, the dash vaults and etc especially on the fighting side

[@DoartYT]

Why is everyone so obsessed with parkour? The story is what matters the most. The parkour is only cool cause of the story. On the first assassins, parkour was awesome cause of what you had to do IN the story. 🤷‍♂️

[@OfficialRaveBlitz]

The Parkour is alright, still doesn't beat AC1-Revelations, or the Kenway games for that matter. In regards to those who say "Unity's Parkour was great", it was good but felt extremely automated, and you had no control over your movement most of the time, it was far more flashy and trying to look cool, rather than precise and methodical.

[@Happy2BHere]

The increased speed has done so much for the traversal, mix that in with the environmental design, the parkour in this game is a joy🥹. Obviously there’s been better, but with the limitations of the system this is a step in the right direction

[@Papa_Khan]

This looks like the best AC in many years.

[@ragnar9599]

Where is proof?

[@yuri-ub8kk]

In order to build a great parkour system, you need a combo button system. Example you run, you see a fence, you press the parkour up to get over it, and as you are mid air you press the parkour down making your character leap above it and continue to run unlike older ac where they climb on it to jump afterwards, this gives you more choices and fluidity. Then you just need to take some things from the ezio trilogy like breaking an animation in half to perform a different move. Again thats kind of a combo.. and lastly a PoP wallrun but realistic .. you shouldn't go across the whole wall.. 2 steps and if you dont jump youre off thats what will work. Fluidity, and freedom. Animations are fine tuning. Last thing mirage to my eyes is better than unity. I dont get what you guys like about unitys parkour, its the fakest of them all, the most inconsistent, it works when it wants to, removes all choice of movement, by automating everything, just to give you a basic parkour up-mid-down, with flashy animations. i swear its skyrim all over again.. (if you dont get the comment about skyrim, just read about daggerfall class building then skyrim)

[@nightmarepegasus4141]

It's a bit sad imo that we still have looong jumps with no momentum as we did in unity but it's a great little game

[@pilegrin]

For not so little price...

This is only impressive to people who never played a assassins creed game. This is nothing we havn't seen before in any other pre rpg assassins creed.

And those games were mostly great.
