Desmond Miles | Parkour in Manhattan | Assassin's Creed III

[@daxmj09]

I wish we could replay the present day missions in AC3. I have always hoped one day that Ubisoft would make a present day AC with Desmond as the protagonist.

[@ReneGade_1911]

Yeah, me too :)

[@IsmaelCiulla]

You can actually. Only you can’t plug in all the power sources by the time you finish sequence 12

[@IsmaelCiulla]

Honestly I actually want Ubisoft to do that after I heard what the original plan for the series was before Ubisoft rewrote it to where Desmond died in the grand temple

[@snoozydonuts]

I actually thought the story was headed in that direction (us playing as Desmond in the present day) but unfortunately it never happened

[@IsmaelCiulla]

@@snoozydonuts yeah probably due to people complaining about not liking Desmond but I’m not sure

I'd be even better with a Unity styled Parkour system so you can take even more advantage of your surroundings than here. But yeah, I feel like it would work very well.

Security cameras bro or people will just call it "just watch dogs game but not really watch dogs"

[@ReneGade_1911]

Like we have Hitman and Watch dogs for example, basically bringing them together. I want the story too though, how they built up the present day events linking with games outside the AC franchise. Hoping they finally wrap up the series of past with a good present time game.

[@okat32]

For a Templar Building, they really made it easy for an assasin to enter from the top

[@MegaDrain]

I see it more as arrogance. The Templars probably think with how few in numbers the assassins are now and cameras being literally everywhere, no assassin would be dumb enough to sneak into a templar building alone. But they also forget that's exactly what assassins having been doing for hundreds of years.

[@cpob2013]

I can't believe it's been 10 years since assassins creed ended

[@NinjaPieceLOL]

This is what I want from the modern day; using the skills you learned in the Animus to go on modern day missions! Why did it have to go downhill from here? I don't want a game completely set in modern times, but a couple of missions like this and I'll be happy.

[@garretts6190]

AC had the same effect as star wars, GoT, etc. Its too close to the real deal and some powerful studios had to get involved in the narrative before people started waking up.

[@dennismatula9611]

It's actually really easy to make an assassin's Creed game set in the 21st century. Just take watch dogs and replace Aiden's tactical baton with a hidden blade.

[@ReneGade_1911]

Watch dogs and Assassin's Creed actually take place in the same universe. The events in both games are connected. For example, Abstergo CEO Olivier Garneu in AC4 goes missing towards the end and he was actually incapacipated by Aiden Pierce as a side mission in Watch Dogs, then probably taken to custody by the assassins to perhaps negotiate or something. Highly likely that the assassins set Pierce up for this mission.

[@ReneGade_1911]

What I would really dig is a grand Avengers style crossover of these connected games - watch dogs, present day assassin's creed, Far Cry, Splinter cell and so on.... Ubisoft, please make this happen instead of milking and abominating Assassin's Creed any further.

[@Equlibrium96]

Ubisoft should somehow bring Desmond back. I liked him as a character. Still do. Couldnt feel the same connection with Layla, sadly. I miss the old gang: Desmond, Lucy, Rebecca and Shaun Ubisoft has enough ways to bring him back, since the story in the last games either lacked the assassins side of the story or the historical side of the story, at least for me. What I mean with assassins side of the story is everything which has to do with Isu, Animus, Abstergo,... And the historical side of the story would be, for example in Valhalla the Stuff Eivor did: reuniting the different clans Edit: We need more buildings/bigger cities. In Assassins Creed I want to climb Buildings and Stuff. Not run from A to B on an empty field

[@PryorXD]

i cant believe desmond has been wearing the same clothes for 3 games now

[@ReneGade_1911]

His version of the assassin robes I guess :D

[@ybshaun4526]

All the games up until 3 all take place in the same year of 2012 this series started off as a Armageddon plot

[@LucyAnge]

In fact, I think it was not the same clothes. In the Assassins Creed 1 and 2, the sweatshirt he was wearing was different, Er Since it was smooth and had no red color. As for the pants... Well, you can have a lot of jeans. Also the shoes were white or gray while in Assassins Creed brotherhood the shoes are changed and they put a t-shirt with an eagle print on it, along with a white sweatshirt with red. In Assassin's Creed III, They gave him a black t-shirt with a different print! I don't know about you but I have worn the same pairs of shoes and almost the same sweatshirts for the last 2 years lol.

[@Bergen98]

I remember how many of us hoped that eventually, we would get a game where we can play in the modern world with Desmond as the main protagonist/playable character. I was seriously disappointed by that ending

[@fastertrackcreative]

Why didn't they do these in later games? Make the modern day part feel like a gameplay component as opposed to an interruption.

[@funmarke1228]

they should create a modern day AC game with new gadgets and new way's to use parkour

[@ReneGade_1911]

New ways to parkour is always welcome as long as it's not what it is today. No matter the hate for Unity, it had parkour at its best in my opinion. Just a little bit more control like no accidental climbing during combat and it's perfect.

[@SUPARNA_WINGS]

How much I love this night city!

[@brandonampang2199]

For a second I was going to joke about how these people should make a first person parkour game, but I mistakingly thought the same company made Mirror's Edge

[@cutecell2798]

I did'nt know desmond is so skilled like spider-man and it looks like the misson in the amazing spider man 2 before facing the shocker

[@ybshaun4526]

U gotta remember he has the skills and memories of Altair, Ezio, and Connor making him basically Spider-Man without the super strength and webs lol.

[@ReneGade_1911]

Yeah he was trained through the bleeding effect. There was a demonstration of how much parkour skill he picked up in a mission in AC2 where Lucy gets him to activate some defence systems, and then his combat skill was tested at the end of AC2 where he used what he learned to fight back the Abstergo agents led by Warren Vidik who raided the hideout.

This is how a modern assassins creed game could potentially work plus If people are so worried about Guns then they use a system similar to the Batman Arkham games where you gotta avoid some enemies with rifles or shotguns or whatever guns they may have or get to cover and guns take your health down much faster

[@GutzOverFear]

We all wanted more modern day storytelling. Then the new casual gamers got their claws into AC and complained about modern day and Animus and stealth e.t.c And now they've decided to completely separate the two. Modern day will now be solely on that Infinity Hub thing.

[@JaredFRKNIsaiah]

quick question has anyone found out what if they die in the modern day gameplay like does it show "desynchronization"? or just a normal game over screen?(long time question)

[@ReneGade_1911]

Iirc it just cuts off and restarts at the last checkpoint. No desync or anything. Desmond's gameplay was just cutscenes in their enclave and drone cam footage in his missions. So in missions when he dies it shows the video cam losing signal then turned off, resuming at the checkpoint I mentioned.

[@JaredFRKNIsaiah]

@@ReneGade_1911 thanks a lot for the answer! Been think bout that everytime I see a desmond section in an AC game.

[@samuraivader3814]

I sometimes forget this game is so incomplete until I see something off or awkward in game.

[@sabaideebee]

If they kept going modern, I think the natural progression would be parkour with a cross between Splintercell and Watchdogs

[@Trash_Cat21]

Desmond sections were fun in AC 3. its a shame that it was all for nothing now.

[@Trash_Cat21]

These sections were better than playing as Conner. Then again any assassin is pretty much more fun to play as.

[@phatphox79]

What would have been awesome is if they had the game be half inside the Animus and the other half running around in Modern Day trying to turn the tide against the Templars. Huge missed opportunity Ubisoft.

I loved exploring these in AC1 too. There was a progression in it like you wouldn't get emails and missplaced access keys until you progress in the story, like small secrets slowly revealing. And the touch added by Lucy in AC2, mentioning how she rigged the cameras so our late night snooping goes unnoticed. Also you'll see someone putting towels in Desmond's drawyer every night and in the end you also get an item from there I don't remember what it was but felt pretty significant.
