I've always found AC one truly incredible graphics wise. The character had weight, the way clothes moved and lighting affected surfaces gave it a pretty believable overall look to the game. It is only when you get real close that you see how much textures haven't really held up over time. But from the normal point of view you spend playing most of the game, it still holds up remarkably well.

[@usbaldoalvaradoll7226]

Part 1 will always be my favorite. I grew up playing that game.

[@staticbuilds7613]

That's the issue with modern games and a lot of these comparisons. The second point. Most modern textures have a lot more finer details but you need to look closely to notice them. From a distance, unless you use a 4K monitor to view them with bright uncompressed colours on max settings. The textures won't look that different through a KZbin video. Video compression and how LOD's work really ruin any comparison between graphics on videos. Only by looking closely and by actually playing both games will you notice the graphic differences. Also clothing is really good in old games but modern games have more muscle movements, something which old games just couldn't achieve. Still AC one definitely looks good.

[@pixelmentia]

I'll always prefer the parkour in the original ACs. Those games made you feel more like an expert assassin. Apart from the weightiness and the staggering animations, climbing was more thoughtful; you had to observe your environment to know if you could climb something, or find the most efficient route. In the new games you're a super mutant. Just aim at a wall and he'll find his way up.

Ac1 looks better to me .. I also prefer the high/low profile system of AC1 … but I haven’t actually played mirage so I can’t really judge it properly either

[@Khans4all]

One thing that annoys me so much is how choppy the jump is in mirage but in AC (2007) the jump is smooth and not choppy looking

[@Gaming_Legend2]

the animations are also choppy in AC 1 but its way less noticable, i'm not exactly sure if its because of the camera movement, the animation itself warping or because of the graphics, the higher the fidelity the hard its to make something convincing (but i'm almost sure it isn't this last one). Edit: its defently the animation xd, some of them are actually really smooth looking but the main core that is jumping between things feels all wrong indeed, the whole thing of grabbing into a big pole to then drop and jump looks like a placeholder animation.

[@Khans4all]

@@Gaming_Legend2yeah ur right

[@bluekrazykris]

Agreed. The jumping in Mirage feels weightless and Basim seems to just teleport from ledge to ledge. Don’t know if it’s just because the game just released and things need to be ironed out or if the animations are just like that. Honestly the older AC games had better parkour animations. Yeah they were slower but to me that makes it more realistic. Unity had nice parkour. Too bad the bugs ruined the game though.

It probably was revolutionary but as someone who recently played it, I'd say it would really benefit from a remake. I think some parts have aged fairly good like the parkour for example, but some parts are not really up to date, like city design and, of course the repetitive missions. I do understand that it probably has a lot of sentimental value to you, but you can tell that it is an old game. It was a revolution but AC 2 is just a HUGE leap forward.

[@Kyrkis]

The parkour in AC1 looks so much smoother compared to Mirage. The character doesn't snap weirdly onto surfaces and feels like his jumps are actually "physics based" instead of having some sort of precalculated path that makes him all snappy and stuff. We really do need a parkour system overhaul with Assassin's Creed. A real one.

[@MykeYukiteru]

@@Gustav.Heinrich He isn't talking about performance, read it again

[@RadzioTheGreat]

@@Gustav.Heinrich games used to be polished before release. Even AC Unity which was a buggy mess had none of that clipping, teleporting and overall junkiness in the parkour animations. In AC1 to AC3 you could feel the character had bodyweight, animations were clearly made after having a chat with parkour guys. In Mirage the character is literally floating in the air between scripted animations, EA does the same for sport games and it looks like crap.

[@Even_N.D.]

The reason partially is that in Mirage the camera stops with each jump which AC1 does not do. Otherwise its pretty fluid. Snappyness was always a thing in AC but i agree some animations in AC1 look more fluid. The pole vault animation in mirage is weird, aside from being a cool thing

[@RadzioTheGreat]

@@Gustav.Heinrich I stopped playing this cashcrab of a game years ago, so i'm not the part of the "commmunity". I just have functional pair of eyes.

[@Tabootrinket]

A major difference in thinking between those two can be summarized with the interactions with the NPCs. In the original one, they could help you but they could also be hindrances to you. If you collide too much, you fall and get caught by the guards. They'll also become hostile to you and would literally call the guards on you. In Mirage it looks like they're just there to make the city look like a city. They dumbed down the system by just trying to reproduce what's there without actually thinking about the reason and pushing the thought process further

[@carinhatube3727]

Games used to have more details in general. Compare GTAIV with GTAV or Far Cry 1/2 with Far Cry 3. Developers had to detail the games (since graphics weren't really the strongest back then) and they had passion. Remove the passion and be in an era where graphics are naturally good. *Result: laziness.*

[@btror]

My biggest criticism of Mirage is the climbing is way too leapy and jumpy. It's so brazenly unrealistic that it can be emersion breaking sometimes.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Very much so. It feels like you don't have weight, but you instead leap and attach with magnets, and removes the sense that you could actually fall if you didn't watch your steps or meticulously planned your route. You just fly up with no hesitation, yet these big movements with abrupt interlinks never really fit in any prolonged climb.

[@hgyuuuuhj098]

Bruh it was like this since Revelations. Stop trying 2 make it sound like it’s new games problem!

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@hgyuuuuhj098 Nobody has said that this is exclusively a "new game problem". But Ubisoft themselves have stated that Mirage specifically was an attempt at reconnecting with their roots, hence why we are critical specifically about Mirage fucking things up that the roots did properly (roots as in AC1, Ezio Trilogy, etc) which is what people originally fell in love with.

When they said that Mirage is going to be more like older titles I expected them to implement the parkour and combat system from the older titles, where you actually had more control over things you were doing. But instead we got a slightly reskinned Valhalla with some simple stealth mechanics.

[@Buff_Yoda]

I think it’s a huge stepping stone in returning to the older style games. It’s like a mash up of mechanics from the new games, but taking inspiration from the old games. It feels more like they’re testing the waters before a deep dive into the old style. Hopefully, when we get another game in this style it will be more fleshed out. The stealth in this game is definitely more in-depth and engaging than the old style too.

Not a lot people bring this feature up enough, but it gave you a lot of emergent gameplay decisions in any given chase/social stealth scenarios, like when to use low or high profile run, or how it gave you a _very good reason_ why you might wanna transition to the rooftops. The crowds (and to an extent, the parkour) are so lifeless from AC3 forwards without them as obstacles/consequences..

[@jmhorange]

Actually never played AC 1, but it looks much better even without whatever feature you are talking about. In Mirage it looks like a lot of modern games, running thru people just plays "background" animation, the worst that could happen is the NPC is pushed onto the ground. There's no incentive to avoid running into people. AC 1 feels like real life, where you can't just run into people carelessly. You would make some effort even if unsuccessful to avoid people cause you might fall to the ground.

But then, honestly the biggest problem the newer games have is that the writers were all fired or left and were replaced with what I can only assume is a room full of monkeys with typewriters, whose work is then proof-read by a 12-year-old before being passed through a "Social issues" checklist.

There's two parts in the game you can use disguises but the game needed more of Basim sneaking past guards by walking past them in plain sight like how Altair would pretend to be a praying monk, or at the very least being to use to use crowd more effectively. Another minor one, I really miss stealth killing guard with the hidden blade in front of other guards and the guards confused on why one of them just died. It added a great detail about how good an Assassin Altair was and why the assassin's were so feared. I miss that being a major Assassin's Creed feature.

[@KuwabaraYuukio9784]

It's amazing how similar they look. They really did a good job of capturing the way Mirage felt in the Altair game. I would say AC improved the parkour significantly since Mirage, what with the inclusion of smooth ejects, the ability to modulate running speed, prec landings, and the combat feels more realistic and immersive too thanks to the sound design. Great work Ubisoft for improving upon Mirage's formula! ... Wait, Mirage came 15 years later, what am I talking about

Thats crazy dude.. AC1 and AC Mirage look about 5 years apart graphically but AC1 handles better mechanically. Its especially apparent when running, stealing and doing parkour.. wow.. just wow

[@janklimek9972]

It is truly impressive comparing AC: Mirage with AC 1. In this great video, good job Gamebest, one can tell how AC1 was truly original and ahead of its time, as some people mentioned on KZbin. I am actually surprised that there are some better environmental details in AC1 than in AC: Mirage. Despite Altair not being able to swim (I read somewhere on the internet that it was due to the fact that his equipment was too heavy let him be able to swim - if someone has different (better) explanation of it, feel free to bring it up) and wielding just couple different weapons, it is still a masterpiece to this day. When I see it, I wanna play it. I also hope that Ubisoft is working on the remake, as AC1 deserves it so much!! With many achievements and other improvements. That feature of being able to break the objects in the market is truly impressive for that time of AC1 being released. I was doing it so much whenever I played this game :D Love to make mess around create chaos in any game where possible :D AC: Mirage lacks of this feature, for some unknown reason. Also, tbh, I find the combat system in AC1 cooler than in AC: Mirage. In the new AC it doesn't stand out, from my perspective. I will definitely see some good walkthrough of the new AC, because I am a big AC fan, and do not have the system to play it myself, haha, or at least a console. On PC it is really demanding, wow. Thanks Gamebest again for making this video!! I love such comparisons, plus the highlights during the video.

[@CoconutRice-fb7tx]

The environment in Mirage has better details. What you mean is less interactive. The problem is if you have so much detail like Mirage has, you can't make all of the pots a physics object without sacrificing a lot performance. You could make some of the pots breakable, but then the player would question why not all pots are breakable, so they probably disabled it for everything. Same with the lantern, especially the one that is shown in mirage is sticking to a wall instead of being in the open, that's why the developers thought it wouldn't matter. About water, back in the days only a few games had swimming animations, because it was very difficult to do or not worth the time investment. Therefore, I doubt it was scrapped because of being too heavy. And when I see AC 1, I think of the synchronizations and side missions, it was really repetitive compared to AC2/Brotherhood/Black Flag.

[@janklimek9972]

​@@CoconutRice-fb7tx Aha, I see. Makes sense to me now. Though there are still some games out there that have some environmental destructive model or so. But the more details and possibilities to do in a video game, the more difficult it is to create it and the longer it takes to finish it. Got the point. So it is something for something, yeah. AC1 was unique at its time, yet was very repetitive. Still enjoyable, though. But sometimes I am wondering WHY it was so repetitive, not just the missions, but also the lines: like 3-4 randomly being repeated. As I mentioned, it's been long time since i heard about that theory that Altair was unable to swim due to his heavy equipment. I personally don't know the real reason why, haha. But I guess they couldn't have thought of everything. It was originally a PoP project, after all. Thanks also for the explanation with the water animation. It is interesting and it makes sense. Nowadays, even though the techs got massively improved, it is still demanding and time consuming for the gaming studio. Would say that AC: Mirage is really like a modern AC1, with some differences, and decently opened, so you get some bits of Origins too, which is one of my favorite AC games. And yes, what the game is supposed to be about, the more they are focused on the stuff around it. Impossible to think of everything, if I don't count RDR2 or TLOU.

Both games have their ups and downs. Mirage is definitely 10x more cinematic, but for the rest, parkour was a bit of a let down, interactive objects seen to be in different areas, AC had more grounded approach refering to safer parkour (climbing slower), falling over npcs, increased collision and all that. Mirage is much more of a playground now, meant for carefree enjoyment As a side note, I absolutely love what they've been doing with camera manipulation in recent games.

Climbing used to be more fun, and I much prefer the lightweight parkour of the older assassins creed compared to the heavier parkour of the more recent ones. In general, the last several games have made you feel like a heavy tank of a human. Even pushing NPCs without staggering yourself or falling down just goes to show how _heavy_ your character is. I think the animations play a huge role in it too. Overall the parkour mechanics aren't functionally that different. But you feel like an unstoppable force in Mirage, barreling through parkour without losing any speed or worrying about who or what might be in your way. In AC1, you're lightweight, each jump has to be calculated. You can parkour fast, sure, but each jump has this intent and momentum in it, which makes it feel so much more real.

In Mirage he's running like a gamer that hasn't left the house in 5 years but when he's climbing he's just floating up the wall... I still like the climbing better in AC1. The character actually climbs instead of just floating up the wall like a paper plane. Yes it takes longer but looking at this video appearently everything else took less time in AC1 than in Mirage. But that's one of modern gaming's problems. Everything takes f-ing forever even though it doesn't need to. Some things definitely DID improve in Mirage but they're mostly minor things. I couldn't care less for swimming in an empty lake or using a boat. AC always either used deep water as a clear indication for the map limit or they gave you a pakourish way over the water. What I like in Mirage is the NPC shoving and being able to aim the throwable dagger. Stumbling through a growed of NPCs was really annoying in AC1 when you were fleeing, although one could argue they did it to urge you to move across the roofs more and actually use the verticality that was there.

The problem with the AC franchise as a whole is the jankiness in all of them. All of the AC games are terrible at teaching the player its mechanics and features, so a lot of people miss out on the cool features and details that the pre-Unity games had. Which results in a mass amount of players believing the gameplay of the older games to be super clunky and unplayable in comparison to Unity, when that couldn't be further from the truth. AC1-Rogue are FAR more consistent and smooth in its gameplay than Unity ever was, but people mostly don't get that because it's harder to make those games LOOK good on KZbin videos and during playthroughs because of the old 7th gen graphics and fidelity and because those games are just terrible at teaching its mechanics which results in most players not being very skilled in those games (no offense to anyone who find those games to be clunky).
