Parkour can be smooth | AC Syndicate

[@MakKSharpe]

Currently replaying Syndicate and in all honesty I don't mind the parkour design or the grappling hook addition (Tbh it makes me feel like Victorian Batman). Something to remember (that I realized when replaying) is that Assassin's are trained in whatever environment they're in. Connor knows how to jump from tree to tree because he grew up and was trained in the woods. Ezio, for all his flair and drama, knows best how to blend in with crowds and run on walls and roofs with guards constantly monitoring the ground, so he had to be careful and watchful. Evie and Jacob, however, were trained in a small city and sent to London, with all buildings and no guards (occasional Blighter or cop, though). They know how to climb buildings because that's that they were taught to do. Assassin's are born, raised, and trained in different environments, so it makes sense to me that their parkour is more straightforward and a lot less fancy or showy than other assassin's.

[@thedudejqn]

Yeah but that doesn’t mean that the parkour can’t be as complex as the others

[@MakKSharpe]

@@thedudejqn No and I totally agree with that! I'm just trying to think of reasons as to why their parkour is so much more simplistic and functional than others.

Syndicate’s parkour. While it’s more difficult and restrictive. I still believe that there’s a lot to get out of it. Like hell if the rope launcher wasn’t in this game. I think more people would actually put the time and effort to learn this system more and figure out how to work around it’s flaws.

[@thedudejqn]

Yeah definitely my opinion too

[@AAron_Pendragon]

Great points! I agree with you 100%! I actually get a kick out of experimenting with the different variations of “parkouring.” I first played through this game on my PS4 about a year ago but have slowly transitioned most of my gaming to my new Omen laptop where I also now use a PS5 controller. I must say the whole experience feels really graceful and much more smooth/responsive than the PS4 did. Also…you can’t beat the Ultra Graphics settings either lol! The dive and grab animation is sooo satisfying and I’ve found I can pull it off much more frequently now than ever before. For me it’s made using the grappling hook relatively unnecessary unless I’m bridging a large gap or needing to get out of a tight spot quickly. I’m more of an intermediate level player at this point and so I think a lot of the game’s “perceived flaws” are more user error rather than the game having an issue. Maybe they just aren’t as good as they think they are lol! It certainly is different and sometimes “different is good.” We as gamers tend to get really comfortable and when something else comes along that isn’t exactly the same it causes a negative reaction. Unity is every AC fan’s “gold standard” and so anything else seems to be considered inferior and by default gets a bad rap. Syndicate is one of my fav entries (next to AC 3 and 4.) It’s the first AC game I chose to purchase for my PC and I couldn’t be happier parkouring my life away lol!

[@bluetaigax1747]

If you want to do a smooth parkour, use Evie. If you want rough one, choose Jacob

[@Ryno2094]

But the rope launcher was one of the best parts of the game... removing that would make this game 10 times worse

Syndicate's parkour system is just an objective downgrade from Unity's. Less animations, and do I need to mention the fact that Syndicate doesn't have a fucking jump button? It makes no sense.

[@Deivid-bn6yw]

What was good about revelations parkour is the hook blade is used to enhance the existing parkour mechanics rather then redesign them. The problem with syndicate is you literally don’t need the parkour once you have the grapple gun, also the world is more designed for the grapple gun with large roads dividing buildings for you to grapple to making parkour very limiting

[@thedudejqn]

Yes

[@benjapizarro981]

Well they didnt design the world tho, its a real city, so thats maybe why they added the grapling gun, they tought it would be too hard to cross from huge rooftop to another

[@Deivid-bn6yw]

@@benjapizarro981 still parkour is integral to an Assassins Creed game, the world needs to be designed for it, which syndicate does an all right job at if you don’t use the grapple gun. But it’s just more practical to use it instead. I’d say this is one of the reasons it’s one of the weaker games in the series imo, the setting is a bit too modern for an AC historical setting

@@benjapizarro981 that's why london was a bad idea

[@yushayasad3676]

Nice vid! Though I'm disappointed that Syndicate didn't really innovate with the parkour, the grappling hook is an understandable addition but it kinda just makes the player lazy. Maybe it could be a limited tool, like the grappling hook needs to cool off after a certain amount of uses. In addition to that, adding more ways to move horizontal, adding more ropes, more swan dive beams and making breakfall consistent

[@thedudejqn]

Yeah kinda like Unitys world

[@natchu96]

Syndicate began the trend of map design being in service towards the world more than the gameplay, really. More ropes would kind of look off in this setting, especially with streets so wide, so we end up with a super abusable rope launcher to cross gaps. A necessary evil, but then again I suppose streamlining efficiency is also what the industrial revolution is about... A cooldown would be nice though, I suppose. Anything to keep you from just rapidly going upward. Never mind the laziness of skipping the entire parkour process of getting up on the roof, it's not even all that interactive; you're locked into the animation like you are for much of Unity/Syndicate's movement mechanics, but here the travel distance is way longer so it stands out a bit. You press a button to rocket up, that's it. There are no stylish tricks to learn to improve or modify your traversal process. You can't show off, and showing off is the main thing Unity parkour had going for it over the tighter pre-Kenway controls. Even for the actual parkour you get moments (this clip has them too, say between the suspended wooden platform and the metal beam) where you are just visually vacuumed to your jump destination in an unrealistically fast line, but I digress.

[@yushayasad3676]

@@natchu96 I agree with most of what you're saying except the fact that the industrial setting is about streamlining. I don't think the setting holds much value to that aspect, the movement should be interactive, by removing the manual jump and making the parkour an afterthought because the grappling hook costs one press of a button is seriously a disservice to what made the series interesting in the first place and I agree the ropes are not era appropriate but it's not something that breaks immersion but if we exclude ropes, we would easily have things like protruding beams from where you jump and to the building and catch ledge, the grappling hook is just kinda lazy and it's fun if you want to just shut off your brain for a while but in the long run, I don't think it's that innovative

[@natchu96]

@@yushayasad3676 Yes, it's just an overall disservice and it only got worse after Syndicate as parkour got simpler and simpler. I was just pointing out that in a twisted sense sacrificing quality for efficiency kind of matches the setting of this game. Doesn't mean that it doesn't still suck. If a setting cannot lend well to the gameplay that a series wants to achieve, then I'm honestly of the opinion that they should've just picked a different place entirely, but that can be somewhat difficult the closer in time the simulation approaches the modern world. The ancient settings of the RPG entries is just as bad for opposite reasons though, there's nothing worth climbing in towns.

[@DespondentGuardian]

No one's forcing you to use the grappling hook. It's optional. Sure you could cross that gap with a nice zipline thanks to your grappler, or you could traverse down the building and run through the streets instead. **I personally like not using it, and only ever use it for going up short distances. (For example, a 2 story building.)

Traversal in this game could've been god tier. what they should've done is made it so the grappling hook can only zipline so it's useful for clearing large gaps but you still need to use parkour to get high up to begin with. On top of that they should've made unsafe jumps possible and made it so that you could use the grappling hook in mid air. Imagine accidentally jumping off one of those sky scrapers and then having to catch yourself with the grappling hook before you hit the ground.

The problem doesn't lie with the grappling hook, it's with Victorian London itself. They could've chosen a different city and time period but if they did, we wouldn't have one of the most impressive and most beautiful setting for a game ever and I think that alone redeems the parkour for me.

There's a lot of compounded problems with AC Syndicate's movement: 1. The environment is not built for parkour, it's built for a grappling hook 2. The grappling hook has no downsides so you're incentivized to use it over learning movement 3. The movement is more floaty than ACU is, probably due to the environment not being as detailed for parkour That's just a few. Syndicate is by no means a bad game, just a disappointment because it could've been what redeemed ACU's engine and mechanics, we could've seen an improvement.

this comment section is why people hate th AC fandom

[@thedudejqn]

Yep. But Unity vids are even worse

[@noobgamerbtw2701]

After playing in a colorful paris in ac unity and then coming to syndicate just makes it look trashy.

[@thedudejqn]

Yep true

[@JCLP7775]

Dat gibt n abo kannst ac unity machen?

[@thedudejqn]

Wird in nächster Zeit kommen, keine Sorge

Sorry this was cool in back in 2007 with the original. We had never seen fluid and realistic animations like that and it was so satisfying. But now? It’s bog standard and the most boring way to get around. I mean we have games where you can fly, glide, swing, teleport, everything under the sun. And every attempt to make traversal like this more engaging just fails. Even uncharted 4 had better traversal mechanics and all it did was add a grappling hook. It really is the unskipable cutscene of gaming.

[@thedudejqn]

Yes true

Unity Parkour is more smooth imo

Too bad it doesn’t work on ps5

[@thedudejqn]

Very sad

[@Tanner-2]

True but it just doesn't really look as cool as the trailers.

[@thedudejqn]

Yesh

[@lawrence9713]

Doesn't look smooth to me, character is stopping after each animation for half a second

[@thedudejqn]

For Syndicate this is smooth

[@SpeedosAndTheGun]

Still not quite on unity’s level tho

[@thedudejqn]

Yes indeed

[@jaypsplayed7622]

Ok but how long have you been planing and running that same route over and over again just to show it's smooth with only that route and not a random free run?🤔🤣

[@deanhollis8983]

Couldn't make it 40 seconds without budget batmaning it up the wall. Disappointing

[@thedudejqn]

Yeah me too. This is just practice

[@tedpreston34]

I hated playing as Jacob in this game

[@sbw_xxpsychoxx_6287]

Unity is the best by far

[@thedudejqn]

Nope AC1 is best

[@albertsons9061]
