I got to play Assassin's Creed Mirage early

[@jayveeeee]

correction at 1:40 i suggested that Ubi told me that Basim's breathing changes as a response to me saying the parkour is clunky. that was my mistake. i think i falsely associated those two ideas. what actually happened is 1. i played and thought it felt clunky 2. we went on a tour of the studio and they mentioned Basim's breathing change 3. i played more of the game and began to feel more comfortable with parkour 4. i interviewed devs later and they mentioned the breathing as part of his evolution in parkour after playing i don't think there will be actual parkour gameplay changes with Basim over time

I am a hard core AC Fan. I friend of mines got me into the series decades ago. He was stuck on a mission couldn't get passed. It took a few tries to get uses to the games mechanics. Once i did i was hooked. I have played almost every AC game, some mor then twice. I still play AC Black Flag n occasionally AC Origins, sadly never finished AC Valhalla. I want to thank you foe your detailed hands experience with AC Mirage, it help to get a better feel for the game. I had watched quite a few other KZbinrs videos befor viewing yours. The way yuo conveyed your feeback of the game, was as Shakespeare writing an romance novel to the old AG games. It seem to be an almost perfect merger of old n new. The one thing that found disheartening was the combat, it seemed like an afterthought. The greatest accomplishment n evolution of the new AC games was the variety of weapons n the combat. And were the game losses me. No one talked about how the weapons system works. To be limited to only using a sword and dagger. In other AC games you could pick up and use the enemies weapons. You could disarm the enemy and uses his weapon against him. You could go to a merchant and purchase weapons. The evolution of how they used weaponry in AC Origins to Valhalla was a set in the right direction. And what got people interested in the ne AC games. To be able to use what ever weapons combo your heart desired what made the game fun. Come on now to see the enemy bow man drop a recurve bow n not be able to use it. One more thing that made an AC game was the ability to loot the downed bodies of the enemies. You had a chance to find a variety of objects, one being the money. You was able to trow the coins n the crowds will block the pursuing emenies. Wasn't there an achievement for throwing coins to the npc's?? Any way it was fun. I'd throw coins the crowd would form and I'll pick pocket them to unlock the pick pocketing trophy of a 100 npc. I was going to preorder AC Mirage but I'm holding of even playing the game, if I'm limited to only using a sword and dagger as the main weapons. Not to be rude about it i think the swords ugly n they had many weapons in that era of time. Altair would be turning in his grave..

When you think about it, the parkour being generally the same makes sense. This was originally a DLC, basically an AC Liberations to AC Valhalla that was turned into a larger project before they go forward on their actual big projects. With that said, the rest of the improvements made to the game from what we can see makes me hopeful that when they pivot away from making three of the same game (people apparently forget that the Ezio trilogy was literally the same stuff but a decade ago) we get stuff like side ejects or wall ejects and some such.

@@ugolattanzio9152 and how exactly is there "no originality"? Reskined origins but has the CORE pillars of AC actually good? Damn that sucks that a game is going the right way! That sucks so much! Better they release another Origins and downgrade them even more that would be awesome! Being positive because there is a positive outcome is normal you are the idiot

The visual bugs of the assassinations are still present. 23:52 Basim merging with the guard and assassinating the air, lol I wonder if they'll ever fix that on one of these games

[@JustAaronJoshua]

It’s very minor detail but the cloak physics makes it so immersive for me! Valhalla was so stiff.

[@poultry-lover6665]

I’m glad there’s no dialogue options it gives the character more personality because we understand who that character is

[@yektadrawsstuff8608]

As an Iranian, it's great to see Alamut which is located in Iran and Roshan who is also Iranian, we rarely get represented in a good light and this is such a fresh breath of air, maybe someday an AC game will be located in Iran (Persia)

[@pasta-and-heroin]

i think this release will be yet another tired example of online fans exciting themselves too much for what will be a totally normal game upon release. they're not reinventing the wheel here, and as someone who is extremely casually been playing AC since number 2... just looks like more of the same to me.

[@flyingplantwhale545]

Gotta love how the traversal animations went a whole generation backwards from Unity.

[@Kirk_Hammer]

damn game might actually not be a flop a good mix of ac 1,2 and origins

[@OhertRasmus]

That's what I'm thinking too

[@NickKarm]

This game has me hyped out of my mind. They are so confident with its marketing and pre-release footage, it makes me reassured this will be a proper return to form.

[@kevenbrito1635]

Something feels wrong about this game.

[@Peepee4brain]

I would call myself a newer player. In the past year, I have completed Valhalla and Odyssey with DLCs. Prior to that, I had only played AC 3(I think??) and I was very young. I REFUSE to do melee as much as possible, it scared me LOL so in those games it took me muuuuch longer and it was not easy. I look forward to experiencing the actual assassin component. I am obsessed with odyssey, although I agree that the dialogue can be overly goofy and it was almost too big of a game- to the point that I did things out of order that the game didn’t intend me to do.

[@mrdato116]

Looks fun but no graphical improvement over last AC Valhalla.

[@keymo9359]

world looks ok just some character models look goofy

[@BardioTheGoat]

You would think the graphics would be crazy good.. especially when they downsized the maps

[@Gunshow0]

4:35 the fact most other AC games have you swinging down the rope with a weapon - that is just fucking pure laziness making the character use their hands... no rope burn i guess

[@scenenuf]

Gameplay still looks incredibly unfinished and rushed.. I'd expect animations and ragdolls, and collision to be perfected after so many game at this scope done with this engine... more so considering how soon this is meant to be released. Still can't compare to Unity too which is insane considering how old that game is now.

[@jayveeeee]

it's definitely not Unity, i would not expect Unity

[@scenenuf]

:c@@jayveeeee

[@editedtobemaguire8668]

From the last gameplay trailer, they seem to have increased the parkour animation speed which I'm very happy to see. It really feels like your travelling fast and fluid. Can't wait to Play.

[@adsumabyss]

Looks like every other assassin creeds games

[@Nienormalny]

I'm so happy that AC is getting back to roots with stealth. That was always best part for me. From what i seen here - assassinations looks effortless, guards just die on first touch. No much more emotion than picking strawberries. Hope they'll add some gravity to this.

[@afz902k]

So, no time travelling crap! Love it!

[@SirRockXIII]

that shit ruined all of the games for me after AC 3. there was literally no point in anything future related after Desmond died.. that was the One good part about the time bullshit lol ..Desmond. and they killed him XD

[@David-nq8cv]

"Time traveling" *How to say you don't know anything about AC without saying it*

[@Phoenixbrand95]

There was never any time travel. And yes there will be modern lore. Basim is loki

[@Phoenixbrand95]

How do people hate the main part of AC and still call themselves a fan? The Animus,pieces of eden and the ISU are the entire driving point of the plot. That's like saying you like the iron man movies but hate when he uses the suit

[@Phoenixbrand95]

​@RiverRockXIII no point? Did you even play them? The modern day stuff is the entire driving force of the plot!

[@Avariceral]

2:27, Just normal ubisoft stuff, Basim has the hidden blade animation before knock outs, even though he does not even have that blade yet.

[@nicholassullivan1239]

I soooo sorry to hear that you endured a return to form for this series. Hard as I might try I can't not think of anything more boring than the old AC formula. The games finally got worth playing, starting with Origins and continued to improve since then.

[@zicuvalentin2251]

ODYSSEY BEST GAME EVEEER

[@ahmedanubis]

21:39 Basim's style of the short jump reminds me of altair and ezio, righ hand front left hand behind

[@Walliin]

Calling it right now; I think Mirage is gonna score a solid 8/10. Looks better than it has done since Unity imo. Haven’t bought a new AC game since Black Flag… this should be interesting

[@trashthug]

Black Flag is the best ubisoft game but not the best AC right? lol I buy all the AC games anyway but I do think I will enjoy this one much more than the other new ones

[@jamessmithson-br7rm]

Just preordered on this basis. Looks amazing 🤩

[@tornapart]

By looking at the gameplay and what you have to say one question still remains: why does this exist? And you answered it as well…nostalgia. I ve been playing AC since the very beginning and I honestly have no interest in revisiting locations that I’ve already visited. I know it’s not the same as the first one but it does feel and look exactly like it. Personally this is one of those AC games that I’ll skip! I actually want to go somewhere new.

[@godzillazfriction]

Ubisoft lost the spectrum... this is going to be like Valhalla with its load of horsesh1t spew of having 'classical' elements from the 'Classic Assassin's Creed' or returning to it even though it wasn't like that, even when it was implemented poorly... AC fans still ridiculed Ubisoft because of that in which ppl like Jayvee got famous for not liking Valhalla and odyssey as much but when the time comes... Jayvee is going to do a whole 3 second switch up on Mirage

[@zynral]

Same.

[@tz5116]

couldn't agree more.

[@jayveeeee]

nostalgia is the answer. "back to the roots" is a guiding principle for this game. lots of folks on the dev team are fans of the older games.

[@diamondarrow4567]

[@Roman_Imperator]

Not only that but these people are living in the Islamic Caliphate (what ISIS was trying to establish). Completely ruins the immersion as this was a super patriarchal society. So much for some shred of historical accuracy @@TheTregan

Just finding you again man. Lost track of you after the last AC and my interest in the series wanned. Glad to see you're still going strong. Your video really sold me on the game and too be fair was kind of already there. You simply gave me that nudge. Highly interested in this due to the newer games just not connecting with me. I will be looking forward to you review that I am sure you'll be doing ;) Quick point, I died watching you get on the window frames just like the older games lol...

hey man!! glad you found your way back :) i'm really hopeful for Mirage! i think it'll be fun for people like us :) and yes... still getting stuck on windows 😅 that's the kind of nostalgia i wasn't expecting!
