Is Parkour Finally Overhauled in Assassin's Creed Shadows?

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Great video man, your killing it

[@TheTrueSeal]

Thanks dude! Your words really mean a lot to me!

[@David-tl5qi]

So hyped for this, don't care what anyone says about this game

[@50.caluzi]

Me too

[@atrainn]

Yeah just ignore Ubisoft incompetence the last 12 years

[@StevenAshworth-m6c]

Agreed 😅

[@turquoise7018]

Same

[@TheTrueSeal]

Same!

[@bsl23nnkio]

Not bad, not bad at all, can't wait to play it. Nice video btw

[@TheTrueSeal]

Thank you!

[@bsl23nnkio]

@TheTrueSeal 😁😁

[@yousseftarek9015]

1.Best things id say: Manual jump button, not quite the old one but can be used creatively. 2.Improved descent 3. Wall run ejects, they stated it but have not showed it.

[@TheTrueSeal]

I agree🔥

[@mattskolnick8162]

I love how there aren't any pauses between moves. It's all smooth motion.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Yeah it looks absolutely fluid compared to the RPG trilogy!

[@sash9249]

Finally, parkour is more than traversal, it's gameplay.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Yes!

[@AssassinZephryss]

Thank you for the detailed video explanation! The parkour looks amazing, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the big exploration article. 👍🏻❤️

[@TheTrueSeal]

Thank you for your awesome coverage over on Twitter, dude! Same, I can't wait to see the exploration article. I think it's going to be the icing on the cake!

[@komadorisensei]

I just want the parkour to be as reactive as the old games, cause it isn't supposed to be parkour it's supposed to be rock climbing

[@TheTrueSeal]

I hope Shadows give us just that, a reactive parkour experience!

[@ChristopherBrekke]

Oh hey, I've seen you on Twitter lol Lucky you show up in my algorithm. Nice video!

[@TheTrueSeal]

Hey, thanks!

[@gabrielbystrom8737]

I feel like the parkour system will be more in-depth and work better than what we have seen so far. I’m sure different inputs and techniques such as crouched or directional inputs will give the player more control and expression even though we haven’t seen it yet. For instance, they haven’t shown side or back ejects but we know it’s confirmed so there is probably many other mechanics they are saving for us in the final game:)

[@TheTrueSeal]

Absolutely true.

[@Miiscrxant]

Don't care for the extreme limitations Yasuke has. Thankfully mods exist for this reason.

[@TheRedRaven_]

They need to just delete him from the game, lol.

[@Kyōbōna]

wdym limitations ?

[@TheTrueSeal]

True! I think the limitations make the gameplay much more dynamic tho.

[@blruc]

@@TheRedRaven_ delete no lmao we don’t even know yaskue story and all that at the end of the day he might be a good character

[@TheRedRaven_]

@@blruc But what story? The guy who wrote a book about him was exposed and his work was nothing but fiction. He even deleted all his social media after that. Basically It's not real history so no reason to be disappointed.

[@adonisvillain]

nice. one month left 🎉 it's much smoother now. almost eye candy

[@TheTrueSeal]

I agree it looks so much better now! Can't wait to finally play this game!

[@AwakeGamer10]

It looked good.. But Now YOOOO! 🔥

[@TheTrueSeal]

It looks awesome!

[@Juniorboii23zzz]

I love the fact people hate just to hate. The game looks good and all they want do is compare it to GOT in a bad way and hate for no reason LOL Ubisoft may fumble a lot but this game is going to be great. Pre ordering the moment it’s available

[@TheTrueSeal]

Yeah, it's really frustrating to see some people hate just for the sake of hating...

[@Schaustomat579]

nice video brother!

[@TheTrueSeal]

Thanks dude!

[@Schaustomat579]

@@TheTrueSealwhen will the video come out you talked about in the video

[@TheTrueSeal]

​@@Schaustomat579 Definitely next week... unless Ubisoft decides to surprise us with another article! 🤣

[@snyderxi573]

Looks fuckin incredible, just worried that something is going on internally with the lack of marketing

[@Fleepwn]

Wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to reserve themselves financially at the moment and might go all out a week or two before release to gather as much attention as they can with trailers and teasers. I admit I don't know much about business and I know a lot of people are saying Ubisoft should just go all out on the Shadows marketing right now, but idk, maybe they just wanna rely on going all out once people know the game is coming out soon.

[@TheTrueSeal]

Yeah the marketing seems really odd atm but I hope it kicks in full force from the next week.

[@KenjiWasUnseen]

One step forward... where... where's the step backward?

[@TheTrueSeal]

Exactly!

[@kylegoyak]

Just give us the parkour and fighting like AC Unity. But the story of something like AC2 or AC4

[@TheTrueSeal]

imo Unity's combat is one of the weakest in the series. In fact one of the things the RPG trilogy truly got right was the combat.

[@Dt_75m]

Я думаю для оценки нужно поиграть в игру, потом станет ясно. Но в любом случае паркур выглядит интереснее последних рпг частей

[@TheTrueSeal]

Absolutely true!

[@ChristianSarcefield-qn3mq]

The parkour looks good, wish they'd show Yasuke parkour tho. His leap of faith was funny😅

[@emmaelstad341]

I really hope yasuke learns the leap of faith and becomes a little faster learning to be an assassin with limitations of course

[@TheTrueSeal]

Yeah I laughed pretty hard at his crash landing😂

[@PauliePitaBread]

Should’ve kept the parkour from unity for all their games while improving on it.

[@TheTrueSeal]

That would've been impossible due to the layout of the maps.

[@pinseekergaming4760]

Finally, someone with some sense. Everyone’s like unity unity unity unity. That ship has sailed so long ago they’re not gonna bring it back. People didn’t like it. They’re not even going to dare do that again not with the bad reputation they got.

[@PauliePitaBread]

@ people didn’t like the story but liked the new parkour system.

[@pinseekergaming4760]

@@PauliePitaBread well regardless. It’s not gonna come back that game flopped. They tried with syndicate to bring some of it back and it didn’t do well either so they learned their lesson.

[@PauliePitaBread]

@ I get what you’re saying brotha but Ubisoft has not learned their lesson at all. That’s why their company is about to be bought out. I honestly hope it doesn’t flop but we’ll see👌🏾

We're almost there ^^

[@TheMrGromit]

Idk, need to see more

[@TheTrueSeal]

Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll get more info, trailers, and finally the game itself!

[@Ed_Crane]

If adding stupid flips over every single obstacle you come across is good parkour then maybe If not, then I really don’t see why people are excited about this

[@TheTrueSeal]

You are in control of the flips tho!

[@Ed_Crane]

@ But honestly I am not even sure it is a good thing though 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean, if the game has a mechanic that lets you do cool shat while parkouring, then I want to use it The real problem here is not so much that there are too many flips and flops, it’s more that it really doesn’t look that good, it looks very stiff and unrealistic In AC Unity for instance, Arno could also do some little stylish moves while parkouring, but they were very situational, and they were much smoother and realistic In Shadows it really looks stupid imo

[@TheTrueSeal]

@@Ed_Crane I mean the animations in Shadows rn look a lot better than they did back in September 2024. But Unity did feature some insane quality animations so I get what you're saying!

[@Ed_Crane]

@@TheTrueSeal I did indeed notice an improvement compared to what we saw a few months back, but to me it still isn’t good enough right now I hope they still have time to polish a few things before release As for Unity, yeah it’s crazy to think how groundbreaking this 2014 game was for the serie 10 years later, and it’s still peak AC in some aspects, it really was ahead of its time (and suffered the consequences for it)

[@JadeLanay]

@@Ed_Craneunity looked like floaty fakest parkour ever bro. the animations in shadows now r effing insane and awesome now. u sound like a troll bro. get that hate sh%t out of here. tired of the hate. let’s see your game? let’s see it? whatcha got? let’s see it? i’m waiting brah? oh ya, i forgot, u couldnt even make pong on a pc, but u like to rip on, and talk sh%t about hard working developers who work years on these games! get a life bro. lets see u do better !??? talking sh%t from behind your keyboard, truly pathetic. 🤮

[@k0walsk]

I hate the unnecessary flips and tricks... Why tf would an assassin do that. Unless you're being shot at by arrows or something. Cool small gameplay idea: somehow manually alternate the jump to add an evasive manoeuvre.

[@blruc]

Well thats what the flips are for plus you can trigger the animation so its not forcing you to flip

[@TheTrueSeal]

While we are in control of Naoe's flips, Arno and the Frye twins had some of the flashiest parkour moves in the series that one could also call them unnecessary too. So what’s a couple of flips going to amount to compared to them...?

[@blruc]

@@TheTrueSeal and the the fact we can trigger the flips is nice i hope we start getting a lot more news/gameplay for ac shadows im very excited for it

[@TheTrueSeal]

@@blruc I agree! I really expect the marketing to kick in from the next week. There are a few things we need to know, like the exploration article, story trailer, preview event, launch trailer, and something about the animus hub alongside the preorders opening up! So let's see how things will turn out!

[@blruc]

@ i aggre i hope we don’t have another delay cause we are close to the game and we haven’t seen as you said the launch trailer etc

[@Giltredjohnson53]

I’m extremely disappointed in this game, I wasn’t expecting much but this is ridiculous

[@zetuki6615]

It’s not even out what are u talking about?

[@Giltredjohnson53]

@zetuki6615 0 parkour elements (they had to stitch 20 sec clips of her doing flips on buildings) the animation look horrendous for vaulting, rope swing, assassinations look terrible, and the graphics are ugly on top of all that…. If your gonna play it go ahead I don’t judge people off what games they play I just personally am very dissapointed

[@zetuki6615]

@ they are not showing u a final version, this could be literally how was the game 2 months ago, its like films, the trailers are not the final version, and u see some thing, not all the parkour, u are judging a game for a 1min clip, I,m sorry to tell u but is silly as fuck.

[@Giltredjohnson53]

@@zetuki6615 are you serious? U think they would release anything but the very best footage they have 😂 Ubisoft is NOTORIOUS for making their games look better in trailers so if anything it’s gonna be even worse then these snippets, if YOU want to buy this game go ahead idc but it’s objectively dog shit weather you like it or not 😂

[@Giltredjohnson53]

@ also why do you think they delayed the game? So that they could release footage? Litterely the reason they delayed it is BECAUSE of all they shit they were getting for how bad it looked + Yasuke fan fiction is still gonna be a huge problem, making yasuke a “samurai” and playing as a black dude slaughtering native Japanese is insanely wrong on so many levels, that alone is gonna be the reason this game flops, the gameplay will be secondary
