they can't keep getting away with this and by this i mean getting me excited for the next AC game 😤😤

[@kyochan2880]

Hell yeah! This has been my dream setting, so I'm eager to here more and judging from what they've said in interviews around the trailer I'm very intrigued to see gameplay! If it's good I'll definitely check it out, the combat in recent games has never been my preference but I'll play any game with Japanese settings! Yasuke and Naoe both seem super cool, I wonder what Ubi will do with their characters.

[@GABATTLES]

To be honest there was barely any stealth in the trailer even with shinobi, the game could be good but almost no stealth in an ac trailer is EHHHHH

[@YousefMohamedAbdulMoniem]

@@GABATTLES its a cinematic trailer bro, just wait for the gameplay 😭

[@alanviniciuswanderleytavar4399]

Stop jayvee, you know that's all lies, the weather and lighting look interesting in the paper, but it'll not work as they say, probably gonna be more of a gimmick, you can already see that they lost dev time on Yasuke instead of flashing out the stealth system or the other character, just to appeal to a larger audience, who knows what more they sacrifice

[@GABATTLES]

@@YousefMohamedAbdulMoniem still a *trailer* with barley any stealth for a franchise based on stealth

[@Optimus_Bull]

I have to correct you about Ghost of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima didn't use or try to use the entire island of Japan. The entire map in Ghost of Tsushima is the island named Tsushima, which is on the outskirt of Japan. With the game later getting Iki island for the expansion, which is another island that lies closer to the mainland. AC Shadows on the other hand actually uses a big chunk of the mainland, which will provide a different kind of experience and exploration compared to Ghost of Tsushima.

[@jayveeeee]

whoops, thanks for the correction!

[@Optimus_Bull]

@@jayveeeee No problem. I agree with most of your positives and negatives about Shadows. Only differing opinion is regarding having 2 protagonists. I would personally prefer to have just 1, Naoe specifically and have Yasuke as an important companion, that the game would let you play as shortly for a few missions. Kinda like Origins did with Bayek and Aya. I just feel like trying to have 2 protagonists comes as the expense of fully fleshing them out both story & gameplay wise.

[@Cimo8]

@@Optimus_Bull Yeah it depends on how they are implemented. Best case scenario in my opinion is if you can beat It with zero to minimal use of the other character. Naoe for the people who want to do a ghost play though, which is imagine would be a bit easier. And Yasuke for the people who want to do a no stealth play through(psychos), which would be a bit harder.

[@froakieprince1394]

from what ive heard shadows map is about as big as origins

[@Killer24313]

do u honestly think it will feel different because of mainland or whatever, do u know ubisoft at all🤣

[@jimmymurphy898]

It would be nice if this game had fully motion captured cutscenes like all AC games pre Odyssey. The stiff animations of the newer games really take me out of the story. Idk for me it's a huge issue.

[@jayveeeee]

oh it's a big issue for me too. waiting to see what they do on that front. going back to Black Flag this year reminded me how much better the story is with scripted, hand-animated cutscenes

[@calebmurphy9406]

It's easy to forget how much of an impact this makes for me but it really is a deal breaker.

[@purplenurple8816]

The animations in the trailer are actual combat animations

[@cheezygui5803]

Definitely especially with sidequests, it's always the same face to face talking animation with the NPC copied throughout, really brings you out of it

[@yousseftarek9015]

Origins was the last one to have motion captured cutscenes in all the main story missions, and it was definitely a factor on why it’s story is one of the best in series.

[@BarneyJutton]

the recent games have been historical period games with assassin's but what we want is assassins games in a historical period

[@McLort]

The pollen growing grass and plants reminds me of all the false promises of Fable. Acorn growing into trees. Yea ok. I will believe it when I see it. I just want good stealth systems and story, hopefully they can deliver!

[@dazzaboy04]

Current gen I totally believe it's possible. And with a juiced up Anvil engine, it will totally be able to handle it, and I don't see any reason why it won't. Tall grass in spring, and it's died off in the later months? Easily programmed in

[@reedscriven]

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

Honestly, Ghost of Tsushima definitely felt like AC Japan, not sure how Ubisoft can compete with Sucker Punch considering how mediocre the AC games have been for the past decade. Mirage was a step in the right direction but it still paled in comparison to Unity in terms of production value, animations, cutscenes, environmental detail, gameplay variety, crowd density, character models, etc. Kind of insane how far AC has fallen.

[@lilam7851]

Absolutely. Especially in terms of engaging writting, too. These stories haven't been consistently great, since 4. There's been a few exceptions, but that's it. This new game needs to be a w in all aspects.

[@aliquidgaming1068]

I'll say it. That's a bad comparison. GOT is phenomenal. But it's a samurai game. It's stealth is absolutely garbage. It's too damn easy and bare bones. Unity had a more fleshed out stealth system and even more tools than GoT has for its stealth. Just cause you can crouch doesn't make it AC in Japan

"Dynamic weather" and "lighting systems" are pretty vague if not meant to be taken at face value. If they are, those are just pretty standard things in open world games. Those arent anything to get excited about unless they drastically impact gameplay in a meaningful way.

I love this channel it’s probably my inspiration for starting my channel on a new route and more things to look forward to also Jayvee is the reason I began to appreciate the games we have more because there is things we can take away from the game that gave us that feeling of wanting to be an absolute badass character arcs and character development a lot like ezio by the time revelations was here ezio was already a mentor and master assassin and he could easily defeat Templars I hope to see something similar in shadows in terms of learn from your mistakes and be the thing you want to be (which a badass assassin) I’m sure most of us can agree jayvee has brought a sense of love back for these kinds of games I’ve always loved them but maybe I didn’t appreciate them as much as I could have and his channel does a good job of that

[@heathenpolska]

I have an obsession with shinobi. So this game is a dream come true.

Being someone that lives in Japan and and has a massive interest in the history of Japan, I and many others here don’t care if Ubisoft uses Yasuke as a main character for Shadows. I am more interested in Ubisoft’s take on historical events that took place like the Tenshou Iga war and Honnoji incident while Yasuke was serving Oda. I am sure it’s not going to happen, as it does not fit the right time line, but playing other events like the Enryakuji massacre, battle of Anegawa and the siege of Odani castle, etc. would be cool as well.

you know what doesn't look good? taking away the possibility to get the 20% Unit discount to make these already pretty pricey Collector's Editions at least a little more tolerable for my bank account by just outsourcing the distribution to third parties AND ON TOP OF THAT raising the prices by not only 10 or 20, but 80$.

[@blabbysatsuma]

Hard to get excited with any triple A game when most have been overpromising and under-delivering. This is still the same company that called Skull and Bones a quadruple A game.

Yasuke should get to learn a few assassin tricks and vice versa.

[@jojocasimir1118]

He does

[@pieseu2048]

i just hope that they made anvil play samples at higher quality than 22khz as if it was far cry 3

[@sirviv]

Great overview and I learned some things I didn’t know about the game. Really respect your opinion on Fallout and Assassins Creed titles especially.

[@jayveeeee]

oh thanks man! glad you enjoyed :)

[@jayisbored3395]

I love Japanese and Chinese weaponry and loved ninjas/shinobies as a little kid so I’m hyped

[@iamboredlol9120]

Bro I need a pile of money as big as Japan itself to buy it at full price. 💀

[@jojocasimir1118]

Just say u can’t afford it

[@crazykid9077]

The feed back reminded me of Mafia 3 , prince of Persia, gta6 , even San Andreas trailers got.😊

[@Ra3_ar1adnE]

Not even 10 seconds in and I feel the cope.

[@drearmouse9510]

Oh shit! So a lot like Soul of the Samurai & Tenchu to a lesser extent. Love the fast/stealth & stronger action character choice. Great for a nice replay of it turns out alright. Fingers crossed! Maybe they learned somethin from Ghost of Tsushima.

[@kurohaizaki8951]

Honestly for the time being it sounds too good to be true, as you said gotta wait for gameplay before I can truely judge wether or not it would be worth getting hyped/invested to pre-order Shadows.

[@papagritty432]

I knew when i heard you didnt like valhalla you would say mirage was good, which is fine just i thought valhalla was pretty good and mirage was really boring. Mirage is actually the first assassins creed that i never beat.

[@calelsun]

I agree it looks good in terms of the features we've heard from articles and what this trailer hopefully honestly shows off. I know it's gonna be a huge stunner visually. I also know that everyone says that Ghost of Tsushima is the true assassin's creed game and i know that Tsushima has more realistic gameplay and was more skill based in terms of combat but I really think that assassin's creed is my favorite out of the two. I think the side missions are a bit better, the world has a bit more going on, the stealth is way better than the ac lite style of tsushima, and there is just more overall content in assassins creed. Tsushima just ended up feeling like sort of monotone dialogue, blowing foliage, and following foxes over and over. It was honestly just like any Ubisoft game there was but with 80% of activites feeling like they're made to make me sleepy

[@jojocasimir1118]

Honestly from a guy who beat ghost twice an been with ac since I was 10 the main thing ghost got going for it is the combat and graphics other then that the world don’t feel alive how origin and odyssey felt plus u can’t even parkour which had me mad my whole play through it’s a good game but if ac had its combat an syndicate parkour nobody will be talking bout ghost honestly I think shadows might rival ghost or be better the same team that made odyssey is making shadows if they learnt from odyssey shadows is probably gone be the best ac game cause odyssey got nominated in the 2018 game award being compared to rdr2 and God of war Ragnarok two big franchises that odyssey was being compared to so I got faith in Quebec not Ubisoft

[@calelsun]

@@jojocasimir1118 agreed

[@bodoque186]

I hate there is no mention of the Brotherhood of Japan

[@IxanderMen]

when were skill trees added to AC?

[@kafuchi2528]

unity first

[@protectbabysif]

Maybe you're right, but honestly this time it feels different. A fresh engine overhaul, more development time and Ubisoft management that is more open to letting their devs be creative...I'm very optimistic for this game and I want to just let myself be excited this time without needing to feel fearful of being disappointed. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me lol

[@jojocasimir1118]

Bro you have the will to be excited or not at the end of the day it’s ur choice that’s the best gift god give us free will so use it

[@ricardomeijer7164]

I guess like with most Ubi games, the story wont be its strong point...but the world would probably look amazing

[@Capybara2737]

Naoe needs to be fast (mostly sprint). From Unity to Mirage, all the assassins felt the same pace. Might just be me but it would be a welcome change and maybe a Naruto run? I’m not gonna get my hopes up tho, it is Ubisoft…

[@milosgagic5689]

Keep it in your pants buddy its just a cinematic trailer

[@MovieKiller333]

They said it will be closer to original size

[@keithosborne9247]

They made a good duel protagonist game out of spider man two hope they take inspiration from that

[@justinholtman]

It does look too good to be true. On top of it the ppl who made syndicate and odyssey 2 of my favs. I just hope it wasn’t rushed. Mirage just came out. I skipped it

[@jojocasimir1118]

It wasn’t bro they been working on it since 2018

[@alxaviir2956]

Tree parkour anyone ??

[@SuperTugaman]

For me, I’m just a little confused, and it’s because the trailer itself looks pretty cool and interesting, my only issue is that it looks a lot like Ghost Of Tsushima rather than Assassin’s Creed, and I didn’t feel more hyped with this reveal, after I got more hyped with AC Mirage because that game gave me the vibe of the older games, with the hidden blade, the assassin Templar conflict, etc but still I’m very curious with AC Shadows

[@jojocasimir1118]

Yea I got that same feeling to but I thought the trailer was pretty dope but gameplay either gone make it or break it

[@kclink1579]

Doesn't look anything until we see gameplay.

[@purplenurple8816]

U see the combat animations in the trailer. They confirmed that the fights in the cinematic are jn game animations

[@kclink1579]

@@purplenurple8816 haven't seen gameplay then.

[@monsterking1973]

Am definitely interested into see how it will be but I definitely want to see gameplay

[@kaycred3361]

Mirage was good besides for mercenaries not being able to follow you or no assassin calling.

[@skilledsins]

I'm looking forward to the game. It's also the first AC game to be only on PS5, Xbox Series Consoles, and PC.

[@TheSteve_1992]

Have we seen the same trailer?

[@jeanrafael873]

ghost of Tsushima did not use the full island of Japan it was set on Tsushima island and Iki island

[@jdm_is350]

Mostly sounds good in my opinion. The concerning thing for me is the non linear story as you mentioned. In Valhalla it felt like the whole game was just a bunch of side missions except in the beginning and the end... Hope that won't be the case here.
