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.

[@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.

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

Also, there is just too much crap coming out these days and I've become far more picky about the games I buy, and never do pre-orders. Especially when they give you a cinematic trailer alongside a 130 dollar price tag. Even if you are still a hardcore fan of Ubisoft games, you have to admit, that is rediculous.

This game's a bit of a monkey's paw for me as it's an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan, but it's an RPG game inheriting game design I fundamentally disagree with and resent, and my ideal era would have been the Meiji Restoration. It's a period that's perfect for Assassins vs Templars (as if Commodore Perry isn’t the most Templar-pilled bastard ever) that would have afforded dense cities with complex social structures to have to navigate, which could have been an opportunity to expand on Liberation's idea of personas. Court politics, foreign influences vying for control, cultural shock and confusion as Japan very suddenly finds itself on an international, increasingly industrial world stage. It has everything. But I get they design these games with "X Fantasy" in mind foremost, and this time around, they wanted "samurai" and "shinobi," both of which were antiquated by the end of the Edo Period. Yasuke is a fun inclusion, though I'm just never going to play as a combat-focused character in an AC game. I know at this point the series simply has different priorities than me about what these games should be (how about an ASSASSIN FANTASY??) but these games aren't really for me anymore anyway. I'll check it out, but my expectations are very low. It just strikes me as a wasted opportunity. Curious what Darby's project will shape up to be.

its a ubisoft game avatar was too good to be true, and turned out exactly as i thought it would

[@NickolasOliveira]

Spoiler: won't be that good

[@whendarknessfalls6969]

Possibly, but assuming only makes an ass out of you.

[@calebrobinson2250]

Yea I’m not een getting my hopes up but I rlly hope this game is good

[@shaheenziyard5631]

​@@calebrobinson2250I feel like this sentence is contradictory

[@bbmonaabbmonaa2626]

Definitely You Must Try It To Be Sure

[@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

[@Grandtemplar305]

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

[@Ra3_ar1adnE]

Not even 10 seconds in and I feel the cope.

[@hyperkaioken4982]

its gonna be your typical ubislop.

[@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.

[@ozziedylan9903]

AC Shadows has spectacular graphics

[@eklekl123]

I'm so nervous. It looks so good and I really enjoyed Mirage, but I actually dropped odyssey (which is a thing I don't usually do because I hyperfixate on things and I love binging things for as long as there is content) because I was so frustrated with the level scaling. I was too scared to even touch Valhalla. I love the stories and concepts of AC so I really hope they'll get back to focusing on writing and less of the grind, or at least give us the option to use level scaling or not since I know not everyone feels the same about that lol

[@GMURDAA]

im def buying bc i been waiting ten years for a Ac japan game but its still goofy to me they scrapped the original game so the protagonist could be a cooler version of yasuke so ubi can get more joe biden points with the blacks and gays cuz ya know for a fact if they made a game in africa they aint gonna make the one random asian dude in africa the protagonist but they're happy to do it to the asians and basically only the asians cuz every other game the protagonist made sense even just the girl as the main character lowkey would've made more sense plenty of female ninjas even had their own name like the samurais but yk gotta stretch that shi because we so desperately need historically diversity that really didn't exist

[@bluewizzard8843]

It's CGI. We don't know how it looks. I think it will look good, but graphics were never the weakpoint of Ubisoft. The kind if stories they write , the way how they are narrated, the kind of messages they want to send, the bland gameplay. These are the weakpoints and I don't see that they would be able to step up and make a compelling game.

[@lilam7851]

I'd love to see Yasuke be an experienced assassin, posing as a runaway slave, to infiltrate the Japanese government(and shogun) during the meiji restoration. The game could focus on the Templar and brotherhood vying for power, while manipulating a vulnerable Japan, ans the spreading of the brotherhood. Maybe the message could be that true freedom is found by the people by themselves, not organizations controlling things from the background.

[@purplenurple8816]

The choreography in the trailer are in game combat animations

[@iamboredlol9120]

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

[@Grandtemplar305]

Just say u can’t afford it

[@Kevin-tl1zs]

I'm now real cautious of Assassin's creed and knowing it will be RPG, I'm expecting now only worse stuff.

[@isaaismail3676]

Reminds me of old man Ezio, absolutely filing the taxes on them templars in the begining cut scene. Real ones know

[@isaaismail3676]

The Masyaf Massacre.

[@pieseu2048]

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

[@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

[@Grandtemplar305]

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]

@@Grandtemplar305 agreed

[@bodoque186]

I hate there is no mention of the Brotherhood of Japan

[@Hohice]

Great to see a new Assassins video man. I can’t believe how alike we are on AC. Do you feel nervous at all due to this being part of a new initiative and yes that has a double meaning :) Last time they did this (Unity) it didn’t turn out so good. Of course I love Unity but all the connectivity and this and that really failed. I can’t help but shake this feeling for Shadows here.

[@prismatic9890]

At least with this game so far, the graphics actually have seemed to have been improved. They said they upgraded the anvil engine and that was a big reason why theres no last gen release. The ingame screenshots we have so far with the character models faces, look almost identical to the cinematic trailer in terms of fidelity.

[@MkayM254]

Tbh… being a PlayStation user has spoiled me, because back in the day this is all I wanted from Ubisoft but after Ghost of Tsushima I have absolutely no desire play this for once.. because let’s be real their trailers always look good but we all know we’re going to be let down by Ubisoft yet again. Whole series needs to be (and I know GOT wasn’t perfect, I won’t sit here and pretend it was), but I can guarantee based on what we’ve gotten in past AC games, GOT will still have better combat and better visuals, only thing this new AC game might be better at will maybe (big maybe) be stealth, because GOT didn’t have great stealth at all)

[@Grandtemplar305]

Ac parkour is better then ghost even Valhalla top it

[@MkayM254]

@@Grandtemplar305 Ghost parkour sucked but it dominated over AC and the stuff that actually matters. Story, combat, visuals. Only thing Ubisoft won was parkour and even then it wasn’t great. AC parkour peaked at Unity

[@FDFSMACHAN]

I love assassins creed ❤

[@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.

[@thatoneguyalex730]

If they did what they did in origins where the targets you go after are influenced by the level cap how close they are to the player almost like the game is recommending you to do it in such order then I’ll be happy

[@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.

[@jjwebb8432]

Hope you have been keeping well, man. Haven’t commented in a while, but I have always loved your takes. I am truly excited for this installment, and I would say even more so after the Forward demo. I know there are a ton of nitpicks we could be making, but I am excited to put those aside and escape into the open worlds they provide. Cheers, Jay.

[@jamiefletcher3186]

Please be good, please be good…

[@JasonHenderson-zf1oc]

I think it important to play them as their own game that just happens to add to the story. Honestly I like them all for different reasons, And there's things I hate about them.

[@emmmortem]

Valhalla: we're bringing back the hood and the hidden blade Avatar: we got this brand new cooking system. ground-breaking innovation Shadows: we got a brand new wheater system, ground-breaking innovation i dont know about you but hummmm im seeing a pattern here.

[@indieimpact8152]

They can make a good AC India but I don't know why don't they do it, we have a rich culture and so much history they can use.

[@iijuggyii6904]

They didn’t even show any gameplay how in the world does it look to good to be true like wtf are you drinking for you to even say that

[@jayveeeee]

? the title makes sense if you take two seconds to think about it. i like the cinematic trailer. CGI trailers are designed to grab your attention ahead of the gameplay reveal. i'm saying the CGI trailer makes the game seem too good to be true.

[@iijuggyii6904]

@@jayveeeeeI disagree if they wanted to grab my attention and many others they should’ve went when real gameplay not a stupid CGI trailer that doesn’t show anything new just the same stuff with a different name.
