I just hope they one day go back and make a remaster or even a remake for Assassin's Creed Unity, that game never got it's shine... Blackflag did, hence why a remake wouldn't be that impacting other than the better next gen graphics they could implement but with Unity, they could actually fix all the bugs, fix the combat (the inability to grab an enemy to shield yourself from an incoming gunshot or the lack of a dodge button outside of combat mode and toned down enemy aim bot- like seriously these guys hit me in the chest while I'm jumping from rooftop to rooftop as they watch me fly by), fix the parkour (have side ejects manual instead of contextual and etc) and overall better net code implemented into the game.

[@trinitysxxi]

I hate the idea that no one likes the moder day narrative, I've always loved it and to me both the modern day and the sci-fi aspects of the games helped them be something much bigger than just a historical fantasy. The deep existential and philosophical questions of the games were always rooted in asking how history, legacy and even mythology influenced our lives when facing real life troubles, and the idea of seeing the past as something that could still affect the present was such an interesting take on the value of history. Instead of seeing the past as something distant and disconnected from us, old AC games always saw history as something alive that was still talking to us. And the idea of Abstergo being an evil corporation that doesn't care about history, just about power, was so interesting and complex. I've always loved the modern day stuff, even in black flag, and I think there's a good size of the fanbase who's only issue with this narrative is that is done so sloppy, not that it exists.

It’s Crazy that some people are sending Death threats to the developers I think it’s wrong and messed up, I get why some people dislike Ubisoft but sending Death threats to video game developers is a little too far don’t you all agree?

Yeah, I know, this isn't the first time I've seen a gaming company being send death threats to the developers all because of something they've done, and I agree, even if you disagree with them, it's still never OK to send them death threats.

[@ayyyyoman]

I dunno, I'm always skeptical about these allegations of death threats. I still remember the indie scene of 15 years ago where every other day devs claim to be sent 'death threats' and it turned out most of them were either false or, in some extreme cases, the devs sent the death threats to themselves to play victim. I'm not disputing whether death threats are wrong or not. It's clear cut death threats are wrong no matter the circumstance. But are there really death threats being sent around? Who knows.

It's a little too much but understandable. When a westerner passes away, he/she would be remembered for 4 generations at most. But in Asia, some families even have a family tree telling them about who their ancestors are. I have seen a family tree with over 10 generations already. And you westerners sent a black guy to Japan slaughtering the imaginary people supposed to be their Ancestors while getting rewarded a title that only a few families could earn with blood of generations, from one of their national heroes. 😂 And guess what? You even told others that the locals are racists for rejecting a "historically accurate Foreign Samurai", while in their notebooks, he is said not to be even a warrior. 😂 And you expect what? If you are doing that to my country, the game will be banned and whoever sells that game can be sentenced years in jail. 😂 Lucky you that Japan is not that strict.

It's about there is no payoff for choosing good. Assasins are born from misery or tragedy. Except keyway and Connor. Usually the best are chosen by misfortune and hardship.

[@Thehiddenmoran]

I hope they don't give up on the modern day story. Ever since desmond died, several loose ends had been building up that still hasn't been resolved, such as juno waiting to return to a physical form, project phoenix, desmond being alive, basim and aletheia possibly finding their children and another natural disaster being around the corner. Also, I loved a lot of the notes and recording in the modern day stories, especially in black flag and rogue, such as the making of the animus and details of the actions of the modern day assassins. I just wish there were stories with more action, adventure, events that would make you take it seriously, basically like the ones with desmond, only better. If shadows fail, then the franchise is done, which would be a shame because assassin's creed always had the potential to be something great, if only handled perfectly.

I’m excited for Shadows and I’m really happy too see Ubisoft take the criticism (the game criticism not the racist ones) and try to rework them and make them better.

[@ozyyy009]

Is there any actual source for the claim that they used Chinese architecture? I'm not an expert so I can't know, but it's widely known that Chinese architecture has a lot of influence on Japanese architecture. And the fact that everybody's been saying the same thing over and over again without showing any actual instance of any Chinese architecture being used inappropriately in the Japanese setting, backed by solid proofs, I feel like it's just another shit people made up to fan the flames of the culture war.

[@ozyyy009]

Also I don't think they used music with hip-hop style beats specifically for Yasuke just because he's black, I think it's the overall musical direction they took for the game for some reason. Shadows might have the absolute worst soundtrack in the series judging by the tracks they've released so far.

[@quotes218]

[@manoeleduardoaraujofilho782]

I'm honestly afraid, ngl. This game will face severe backlash on release, regardless of how good or polished it'll be, and the fact that the people at Ubisoft are becoming aware that this may be their last shot at a truly good experience, after basically years of being completely disconnected from consumers and reality itself, is telling. I'm hoping for an amazing game, but i can't help but be afraid for the franchise's future.

[@ayyyyoman]

I'm not so worried. Even without Ubi at the helm, no doubt this franchise will be snatched right up by someone else and they'll continue to pump more out. In fact, if it ends up with the right developer/publisher combo, it might even end up better off than with Ubi.

[@Radditz36]

I started with AC 2, than Brotherhood. For Relvation I had a one Disc with AC1 and knowing, that Relevations ties to Altair in AC1 playing AC1 before Relevations. So I didn´t understand th modern day in first place and was annoyed of it. With AC3 I had a safeile in Sequent 6 or so, but didn´t played for a long time (instead replaying the Ezio Trfilogie in 100 % Aim). But i got spoiled for Desmonds Death, and since then (~ 2017) I start liking the modern day Segment and had a strong motivation, to restart AC3, because I wanted to play the end of Desmond, even I didn´t liked AC3 that much. I studied Chemistry and "inorganic Chemistry" is "Anorganische Chemie" in german, short AC. And I took long for inorganic Chemistry 2 and 3, and there both in winter term. So always when I didn´t wanted to leran AC2 or AC3, I played AC2, AC Brotherhood, AC Relevations or AC3 instead. In Master 2021, the last Inorganic Chemistry compulsory course and playing AC4 for the first Time

[@smoke-o-time3913]

I think the present day storyline is an integral part of the franchises identity, and the animus gives it that science fiction flavor acting almost like a time traveling machine but with a twist. Ultimately, they dropped it after Desmonds death and Ubisoft seemed to be more concerned with pumping out annual releases then crafting a cohesive present day storyline that interwoven with the ancestor storyline. Why they didn't use Shaun and Rebecca as the protagonists just baffled me.

I feel like the story has to make sense if they want to bring a character like Yasuke into the game. They set a REALLY high bar for bringing him in. So i feel like Yasuke has potential to make Shadows great story wise but they have to really nail it. And tbh, i feel great that the modern day storyline isnt in the game itself and the Infinity Hub existing because ever since AC3 it was atp getting in the way.

I‘m one of those who was a huge fan of the modern day parts. I couldn’t care less for what happened in the past. Valhalla was the first game that got my attention because of Basim and Eivor and their true self. That’s why I hope they‘ll continue the modern day story from Valhalla.

[@jbcatz5]

The modern day needs direction above all else. II introduced the solar flare as well as Desmond working his way through Ezio’s life, the former driving the modern day of III as well as influencing III’s Animus sequences. The Juno plotline post-III really didn’t get a lot of focus and wound up getting resolved in a comicbook series, and the Layla trilogy really could be felt as writing as each game was being developed.

[@sirdork4261]

I'd love to see Basim as our modern day hero. He has a motivation to go into the animus and relive the memories of assassin's who encountered pieces of Eden: to find any kind of lead he can regarding his children. And he can use his knowledge to train and maybe even lead the Assassins to really start fighting Abstergo in more effective ways. But this "new direction" is likely going to be on the levels of Unity and Syndicate skype calls and email reading. Maybe I'm a pessimist but how can I get excited when all Ubisoft does is set up cool ideas and never pay them off?

@TheHiddenOne690 , i love the positivity you spreading with Shadows and that you are covering it fairly while most others don't. Keep up the good work and hoping to see more. One thing i hope more people realise: YASUKE'S OST has Trap just like the main theme which is japanese music, Rise of Yasuke has a mix of african, traditional japanese and modern Japanese music "trap" / rock. Assassin's Creed has always mixed modern and old traditional music. The OST is quite diverse with rock, trap, traditional music and so on. I think people going off on it is weird when Quebec made AC Freedom Cry which has only african inspired music. Why do people think they are trying to be malicious or pandering when this is a Japanese game and Trap is JAPANESE there is a difference. Anyway i hope Ubisoft shows something at the Game Awards next month.

Hot take, but I think AC should be rebooted as a whole instead of fixing mistakes previous games made (with the modern day and the story overall). What Odysey did destroyed Assassin's creed IMO. It went from historical fantasies to mythology inspired rpgs wchich destroyed the lore of AC. A reboot could start with some remakes of AC1 to AC3 with Desmond not dying in AC3 and a leed up to a modern day game with him, then do other games (and some new ones) until origins, and then... idk lmaoo

I love Assassins Creed Modern day. I really would like a new looming Abstergo Villian or just treat Otso Berg like he was in the comics, that guy is threat. Would’ve been nice if we had a consistent nuisance like Vidic as a leader with the Black Cross being a physical threat. The Black Cross lore is so cool I’d love to get some Templar games around that. Even Abstergo side modern day if the protagonist was the Black Cross would be cool if they ever want to change things up a little and really push both sides of this modern day war in a unique way. And it’d be a great way to bring back the Instruments of The First Will cult concept that was so lightly touched on in the games. Really give a complex layered narrative to the modern day story.

Did you forget about naoe? She's the native protagonist with yasuke as the foreigner protagonist, shadows has two protagonists because the devs wanted two different perspectives on sengoku era japan and since yaskue was also a samurai it allowed the devs to create two different playstyles with naoe as the shinobi for those who like the classic ac and yasuke as the samurai for those who like the modern ac like myself.

Something I’ve always like about Assassin’s Creed was that the protagonist was never a historical figure, only surrounded by them.

I grew up feeling like ezio was a sibling by level of importance. now were in a new era were in the era that killed movies with politics but now it's the video game industries turn to take that samurai blade and shove it thru their stomach as dishonorably as possible and it's depressing to watch.

I started with Origins and have played every AC game since. Without exception - every time I'm yanked out of my character into that sanctimonious modern day crap with the Animus I curse and mash the skip button until I can get back to the real game - as I see it. I don't see why AC can't just be a series of Historical Action RPG games without any modern day at all. When I play a game I get really immersed in my character. NOTHING breaks that immersion like suddenly being forced to change who I am, and changing the time I'm in is even worse. Some months ago I heard there will be no Animus in Shadows. I was very relieved to hear that. In this video you stated there will be no modern day in Shadows. If that is true, I am elated!

I hope Ubisoft survives until this is out. I hope they get sued for refusing to fix AC Origins too.

[@saintskillerdntfkwth]

I'm very confused with the direction the modern day is going to take with shadows, are we going to have someone like Layla to play again or is there just going to be no modern story with templars and assassins?

[@KenCuster]

If the samurai can climb ill buy it

[@deepaksingh-ku9uf]

Still hyped for this game and ghost of yotei I like the direct competition

[@damndatscrazyyy940]

My problem really is more the gameplay side of things. I by default don’t trust Quebec anything when it comes to writing so I think by default shadows narrative wise is going to be it. This is something i give Montreal simply because of mcdevitt and Bordeaux because they seem to be a studio full of ac old school fans. My main thing is the gameplay parkour and even combat simply weren’t good in the recent acs (if u less of an make builds or numbers type of guy) it even goes so far that these decisions by the making of the current engine effects all future title Bordeaux tried to implement side ejects like the older ones but the engine simply didn’t allowed them to be non contextual which is crucial by recreating older parkour. Ubisoft needs to be clear what they want from ac and not do the weird middle ground thing they need more cohesion. Or at least make it clear which philosophy which studio have and be strict with it this half hearted stuff only going to increase the list of „mechanics which had potential but never improved on“. Especially with the release of Hexe which again is going to take another route for this franchise.

[@Grandtemplar305]

in gameplay wise I trust Quebec cause syndicate an odyssey gameplay are pretty fun and I heard back in 2022 or 2023 that they have 10 or 11 studios working on ac shadows an Montreal was working on the story while Quebec was working on the gameplay and the rest just helping out and polishing some stuff

[@damndatscrazyyy940]

@ I don’t know if I can 100% agree with that but what o definitely can say is that Quebec isn’t scared to try something new that means they might be the ones who are in one way or the other pushing the franchise

I bought assassins creed shadows collectors edition at GameStop and will not be cancelling

現代編、デズモンド編までなら自分は好きです。 シリーズの基幹はデズモンドのいる現代編にあるとすら思ってます。

[@BigRed259]

You was right about the sting of the delay could he playing today if they did there job right the first time

[@S1DDUD]

Ubisoft is really good at being inconsistent in a lot of things that they do. Maybe the modern day this time will be good, maybe not. But does it really matter when they most likely are going to mess it up somehow in future installments?

[@stephendorn6348]

I don’t get how thing the game to a modern timeline helps. Imagine being a game developer that’s ignored the success RDR2 or God of War

[@matthewkendrick8280]

Of course Desmond miles is going to return, in some way shape or form. Why else would they have Nolan North play the reader in Valhalla?

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Come on dude. The clickbait is clearly saying DESMOND MILES will return. We both know which Desmond is being referred.

[@matthewkendrick8280]

@ i believe there is some way that he will be reincarnated or projected in some way like how Minerva, Juno and Jupiter were in the Ezio trilogy

[@SinisterCS]

Bro i remember playing Unity first day, first Viewpoint sync, i jump into haystack and jumped between hay and frame and got stuck….had to restart game 😅 shit happend again… till update

[@jackhilton419]

The fact its not on ps4 is a dealbreaker

[@HunterZTheLunatic]

The fact u dont have a ps5 is a dealbreaker. Idk if ur an adult but if u arent then get a part time job man. If u take a one week break from school and get a part time job with 10 usd an hour u just have to work for a week then man.

[@matyaskrs7731]

So the modern day storyline will be event based? I don't get it

[@williambritton1717]

I dont like the infinity hub if im being honest. They should just conclude the modern story and whatever they're building up for with the templar vs Assasin story with shaun, becca, basim. And then once concluded just start making anthology history games but we'll see I guess.

[@sharperblade300]

2 games im waiting for: AC Shadows and Tomb Raider 4-6 remastered

[@Robert-bt9vc]

Now they do this Wow they waited so long to do this I had that thought back when I first started playing legit thought that's how the desmond games would end up especially after 2 cause of animus bleeding effect and just missed it

[@kira-sly000]

3:08 ironic saying the modern day like ac revelations abbas is the one who made the assassins lose their way

[@ColinWhite-s4u]

Thank you for that last point. If anything, the choice of Yasuke brought out a ton of racists in the fan base.

[@carlwajihassaf8219]

I think Shadows is gonna be a success but somehow you'll still hear everyone hating on it on the internet a bit like odyssey

[@shatteredteacup91]

I bought Odyssey years ago and never finished it. I recently got back into it, put about 60 hours in, and damn it's fun. Might be top 5 AC for me.

[@alienlvni8426]

@@shatteredteacup91yeah it was really fun at the time of release too .. I wasn’t really a fan of the direction AC was going with its rpg style but I loved origins story and played tf out of odyssey.. just had to give it a chance as fun game rather than an “AC” game that I was used to.

[@carlwajihassaf8219]

@@shatteredteacup91 it's a really good game and people hated it so much when it released i remember and now everyone is praising it so that's what i think Shadows is gonna be

[@shatteredteacup91]

@alienlvni8426 I think I just hit a grind wall when I first played it and just didn't have the time to put into it. I'm happy I went back to it.

[@JuneA-lq6lq]

AC's popularity is recognized. People will buy it. And it's set in feudal Japan, samurai, Japanese cultures. How can they fail?

[@antoniofrancescon4083]

They’re never going to make everyone happy, that needs to be a given. They also need to recognize that if people are talking about them, even if they are talking poorly, it means Ubisoft is still relevant. Personally would love to see a return to solid story telling above all else. For me, where past releases have fallen short is by spending too much time on mechanics and not telling a story.

[@djstef4549]

Modern day needs to be scrapped. You would need to put as much effort into it as the main story in the animus.

[@Firmansyah-td7ov]

You are the best🎉

[@anakinskyguy6582]

I couldn't care less about the modern day stuff, I hated it in origins/odyssey, and I loved we didn't have none of it in Mirage, also, when playing ghost of tsushima, I didn't say to myself "damn, I wished I could play as someone with jin's memories in the modern time"
