I hope these things get ironed out too before launch. Mirage looked smoother on launch compared to earlier gameplay, so it's certainly possible. And 5 months is a long time for them to polish.

[@mattswank]

The only other thing I really hope we can get is that the city parkour is also refined more like mirage’s was where the pathways work and make sense and that even though this game is designed to be more open world, that the parkour emphasis is there for the cities, which you would hope since one character is more stealth focused. People have been waiting a loooong time for this game and they have already taken some turns that I would not have risked personally simply because of how long awaited this has been in the minds of their fans. But I will say having a possible 16 possibilities for every encounter is interesting and could be really cool and a nice way to mix things up (2 characters, day or night, 4 seasons=16)

This game really is strange.

There are a ton of culture and architectural issues to the people familiar with the culture and the historical locations. This world is unmistakably a Western interpretation of what Japan was and not made from a Japanese perspective, which is a shame.

I remember spending like an hour working through how to get to chandeliers to get across to the other side of a church in one of them, or the whole revelations path that lead to the underground city, would be great to see parkour dungeons return.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

1:29-1:34 (NOT DIRECTED AT YOU JAYVEE) Of course she is, Naoe is a Kunoichi a female shinobi, Perfect for the stealth sections of the game. They were aassassins, scouts, and spies who were hired mostly by territorial lords known as daimyō and guess what Oda Nobunaga is in the game as well as Yaskue who served for him. IT MAKES SENSE. Not to mention her being a woman makes her unsuspecting and underestimated. Shinobi has meanings/connotations of stealing or hiding away hence it connection stealth.

But I will say the animations/choreography look far more polished than the past few entries and there is visual emphasis on stealth and what makes AC AC. If they can manage to make parkour fairly smooth and comprise a deep narrative that also adds to its story through side quests and world building I think this game has a lot of potential. Also Hoping they have a plethora of fleshed out urban areas for parkour, cause the open world rpgs tend to take you out of the original assassins creed gameplay loop dramatically.🤞

Why don't you got tell the Japanese devs of Nioh to take out "Obsidian Samurai" or tell the Japanese devs of Samurai Warriors 5 to take out Yasuke or tell the Japanese creator of Afro Samurai to delete that as well. Tell the Japanese creators of Guilty Gear Strive to take out Yasuke, tell them also to remove his statue out of Japan. AC has Gods and Godesses, Aliens, it has Da Vinci as a gadget boy and the Pope being a templar after 1307. AC is essentially a giant toy box for history buffs. It’s like taking the action figures you bought at the museum and mixing them with your Dragon Ball Z toys. In fact, casting Yasuke as a main character feels like the most “faithful” way Shadows is sticking to the series’ vision. It’s all about that toybox idea. Casting Yasuke as the main character lets Assassin’s Creed do exactly what it’s been doing for 17 years: find intentionally mysterious pieces of history ripe for expansion and embellishment. If you’re someone who’s hoping for historical accuracy from Assassin’s Creed, I don’t know what series you’ve been playing for 17 years.

Ubisoft really seen ghost of tsushima, and said "yep let's copy it!!"

Yasuke rampaging in armor even though it's not a battlefield, a female ninja hiding her face with a sword on her back in broad daylight, persimmons in cherry blossom season, rice planting and harvesting, long-tailed monkeys, farmers wearing Vietnamese-style hats, music using Chinese instruments, people with shoes on indoors for some reason...I think the biggest problem is the unauthorized use of images of the Sekigahara Rifle Corps, a group that exists today to promote the town of Sekigahara. Until now, I was angry and saddened by the low resolution of the seasons, buildings, Yasuke, and Japan, but I never thought that they would not even follow the law. If this is the case, I doubt whether permission was obtained for the family crest used on the Yasuke figure. Sorry for the Google Translate.

I like watching your videos cause you're reasonable when necessary lol. We'll be brutally honest when developers mess with us, but again, you're reasonable and not intentionally bashing the game

[@aceroculturaanahuac8684]

Looks like Ubisoft is stepping up

[@MashyM3llow]

i hope the hitbox and enemy AI is more responsive. after playing all the ac rpg series from origins to valhalla and ghost of tsushima. GOT is the best AC type of game one could wish especially the combat when u are swarmed by the enemies but they dont clip each other and feels like older ac but every skill jin had was useful. Combat was clean and basic at its core but wat impressed me was thecombat system. Its simple and effective yet still manages to have a high skill ceiling with the management of stance switching etc. I hope ac shadows can show more gameplay before the launch.

Sir I’m unable to give this a full watch right now but I want to ask, my problem with it is mostly that I feel uncomfortable playing as Yasuke, knowing they deviate from history so much and because I don’t want to make his decisions. But, I wonder if since it's not fully historical that i can let that go then. i also hate ubisofts greed but love history and this series

[@zetzo27]

if "an Assassin's Creed game" is a game where the protagonist is an assassin, following THE assassin's creed, as opposed to them being a hidden one, then we haven't gotten "an Assassin's Creed game" since Syndicate. that game was released in 2015.. imagine that! it's been almost a DECADE since Ubisoft released an AC game focused on "the AC". very curious to see what they're gonna do story-wise with Shadows

[@WayneTheAsianGuy]

I hope Yasuke starts off not an assassin, but as the story goes on Naoe starts convincing him and even teaches him the leap of faith or something, in the cinematic trailer Yasuke already says assassin stuff tho.

[@Jayy_R2]

i think i play it like another ghost of tsushima instead of thinking it a assassins creed then ill enjoy it more

[@nosouponhead]

I'm confused why the animation looks so choppy.

[@cgxww]

The games still in a beta so by the final release they'll probably flow better

[@Stubhose]

Sees alpha/beta content, gets confused why not finished game. 🫠

[@nosouponhead]

All Assassin's Creed games look this choppy. Also, this is marketing material meant to hype people up. It's not "alpha/beta content".

[@JoshuaVaughan-pi1sn]

Because something was wrong with there servers during the reveal it got fixed in later video the game actually doesn't look that way was just a technical issue during the gameplay reveal

[@Shadowpack95]

Just please tell me one thing, does that stupid modern Japanese rap play when Yasuke fights, all the time?

[@kilopopki4947]

@@watchmehope6560what kinda conversation is going here? 😭 Thats not rap and just for the most part techno. Also why we acting like yasuke battle music ain’t the best music they have revealed for this game.

[@Player-gv5lp]

@@kilopopki4947 they just want something to hate.. that's it. How can techno music is consider as rap/hiphop, duh

[@RedArc4Lif3]

​​@@Player-gv5lp Damn I didn't know techo rap/hip was popular during the Japanese Civil War in 1500s

Someone was watching Yong Yea. Got any thoughts for yourself?

@@RedArc4Lif3Damn, I don't know that when you're fighting and there will be a background music to accompany you. I guess WW2 was really musical back then.
