Exploring Assassin’s Creed Cut Content

[@obsidianwarrior5580]

There's this piece of cut content where Achilles talks to Connor about his wife and child. It's genuinely a really nice scene and no idea why it was removed. For anyone interested in seeing it search up AC3 Animatic, it uses the audio from the cut scene and is literally the only trace I can even find of this existing.

I mean the story would have been so much better ,seeing shay transformation, from an assassin to a broken man ,and then a templar,while you hunt down the people that you spent early game bonding with would have made Shay one of the best protagonists in the series ,I believe that's the problem with ac games until 2017 not enough time ,and so many missed opportunities , Ubisoft could have turned most of this games legendary,just imagine a arno Aveline shay Conor team up in unity

I do agree with you. It is very unfortunate that Rogue had been an overlooked and neglected child in this franchise. Shay and his story are one of my favorites. I adore Shay so much. He is the best character in the franchise imo. I love him so much so that if he was real I'd marry him. Lol😅

[@ApacheLongbow117]

Nolan North's reaction was mine as well when I finished AC1, the amount of excitement that I had for AC2 was unbelievable and I was certainly not dissapointed, even ACB and ACR were amazing. Then AC3 came and the ending was sooooo underwhelming after building up all of that mystery and the anticipation for something far much greater early on from AC1. The usage of politics, religion and conspiracy theories mixed up together made the story so much compelling. God knows how much I miss old Assassin's Creed storytelling💔

[@CaptainRockoBD]

I agree

[@XDLugia]

The modern day story was by far the most hyped part of the games for me. Each game (AC1, 2, Brotherhood) made me progressively more psyched about the ending and what would come. This is why the whole modern day stuff has been irrelevant for me after AC3.

[@ApacheLongbow117]

@@XDLugia Same for me, totally agree. Really don't get why some people hated the modern day setting, it made sense for the animus and had purpose to the story. Honestly, shame on Ubisoft for messing up this franchise, their main problem is that they don't know exactly what they want for their games. AC underwent 4 different identities and still they can't figure it out. They're just copying other popular hits the past few years and going with the trend. AC: Codename Red is just going to be a downgraded Ghost of Tsushima. Although AC Mirage was a step in the right direction but with its flaws.

[@XDLugia]

@@ApacheLongbow117Yeah for sure. The whole animus thing made the game very unique and it was handled very well as they jumped between settings. For quite some time now it has felt more like a typical action game in X setting with some forced modern era stuff in order to convince you that it is AC.

[@duncanmcphee2107]

​@thejohndoe9153 the newer assinasins creed games are influenced by trying to keep everyone happy that's also why they don't have much of a plot coz before they went down the "rpg" route it was because assassin's creed was seen as a dumbed down action game with no skill involved (even tho that only applied to the combat and only if you refused to use the full combat system) that's why unity came out and it is a good game now still a little broken (I've only played it on xbox) so coz it flopped they went on to this almost semi rpg and at that point they just want to keep everyone happy so ended up fucking it up anyway that's my weird rant

[@connorwiederich]

Shame there was no consideration of a crossover between Arno and Shay nor a sequel for any characters since Ezio. I know Unity was in development before Rogue but it would having been a great way to connect the two games and give Arno's father more of a purpose in Unity's story if Arno pursued Shay.

[@BanishedSilentShadow3318]

You'd think there could've been another dlc or game that would've lead to Arno learning the identity of his father's killer and gone to seek revenge. Shay might be old at that point but if Adewale can still fight then maybe shay would've put up an interest fight

[@minedude33]

What's funny is that Connors story was taking place a little before Arno's story began, I would've found it cool if Connor actually showed up in Unity rather than just being a costume you can wear. Maybe a wiser and less impulsive Connor assisting Bellec and Arno (because Bellec admires Connor's work in America)

[@LochNessHamster]

Assassin's Creed Victory was my dream AC game when it was leaked. I was seventeen and still pretty high on the series, and Victorian London was my most wanted setting for them to do. The leaks looked exactly like what I had imagined The protagonist even looked eerily similar to fan art I had made. I still mourn its loss, and the mediocrity we got instead. That was the second time the series broke my heart. The first was when they unceremoniously killed off Desmond and basically discarded the modern day story that had been developing over the entire series up to that point. Things have never really been the same since that.

I saw this on reddit once, but the original poster suggested for Desmond's cut ending that what if Desmond and Lucy went into the spaceship, and travel to another place, but once the camera pans out, we would see that they were in fact still on earth, but back in time, and it would turn out that Desmond and Lucy were the Ancestors to who would later become the Isu, and Desmond's DNA would mutate through his decedents to become the DNA that the ISU had millions of years later. wanted to know your thoughts on this.

[@riannon8925]

The blending with crowd was featured first in AC3, Black Flag removed it, there are still a few animations that you can trigger, one is from that e3 mission where he sits with the pirates, but in the retail version he doesn't drink and one during the Wood Rogers assassination mission.

[@geekerman8658]

AC 3 had more diverse animations while blending. Like Connor would sit around a group of people or idle against a wall to blend. These are just some examples I can remember. While it's not on the scale of interactivity that was shown in Black Flag's E3 trailer it's still better than the blending in Black Flag's retail version.

As someone who actually likes the modern day storylines and the Isu precursor stuff, that Mirage cutscene made me realise why people who don't like all that get upset over it.

There's a theory that the cutscene is related to the Infinite project that Ubisoft has been teasing.

How dare they ! i am actually glad that they changed the story of AC 3, it's still my favorite game of the franchise, finished it 4 times already, I remember I played when I was maybe 14, those late nights, it was the only game I actually enjoyed the present time missions as much as the animus ones, sometimes I would get out voluntary just to speak with the characters, and just listen to the ambience of that hub. I think the story of Desmond was great, it makes reference to "Hybris" and tells us that we can't run from our destiny, and him sacrificing represents him maturing, but also I think it represents more the fact that everything is already written, already planned, for everyone, maybe the Isu planned everything already, maybe the conflict between Juno and Minerva was so that assassin's had the impression that they could choose what happens next, when actually they don't have a choice, either they go on, or die, it makes me remember how religion, at least in Christianity is portrayed, if you go on the path of Christ you will have a good eternity, but if you don't then hell awaits you, but hey, we don't force you to take this path, we are just saying that If you don't follow Christ you will go to hell.

it's not fair to criticize the fictitious elements of AC to the same standards of the realistic elements in terms of the appearance of Loki and Odin in Valhalla because its literally just that, fantasy/sci fi. There's no basis to constrict it on as opposed to the historical elements of it. Isu aspects of the franchise have been around since the first game. It comes across as the Casual AC who complains about the more (previously) Esotric aspects of the lore which just goes to show the level of ignorance they possess when the are critical of said aspects of the lore. Your argument for the double standard of historical accuracy for the long boat implementation in Valhalla is unfounded for this very reason.

I honestly think the problem with Ubisoft based on these isn't just development and time constraints, it's also them just providing a teaser or trailer that sometimes included full gameplay, and providing the said cut content on there. It wouldn't be an issue had they just not show any of it and just stick to whichever plan they actually are going with to completion instead of promoting and showing people these concepts during development, during incomplete development especially since a lot of these could have been included in one way or another had there not have been "changes" in the narrative their building and they weren't done deciding yet in including these ideas. I'm not sure who's the lead in marketing that thought it was a good idea to show something just because it looked cool when it's not even completed development yet, but they need to chill out because it's borderline misleading.

I love how long Shay was an assassins then turned rouge and became a Templar because I though u would start as a Templar glad how they did it

[@jaypay2859]

having aya as the main lead would make a lot of sense actually since she’s mentioned all the way back in ac 2

[@genshinbowser4992]

Ac dev: we want our games to be realistic and accurate. Also ac devs: adds teleport powers, monsters, and gods.

[@yeetxd2890]

man all these cut content for rogue really just makes a man wonder what it could have been

[@PyrotechNick77]

I remember there was plans for ACR that there would be a much more expanded bomb crafting system with hundreds of combinations and that there would be more random events like the recruits but where civilians would be rescued from being robbed or aided in moving boxes or preventing a raid.

[@Nino3Productions]

they should give us a remake of rogue, and this time actually implement this cool ideas that the developer spoke about

[@cak17]

How dare they It would be cool if they did some remakes of the older games and they used some of this cut content in them

[@Ayytham]

The Mirage deleted scene may be part of a simulation. The concept of simulations and future predictions was introduced quite early in the franchise, it could be that Is that dialogue part of a "possible future", seen by The Reader?

[@liamdooley863]

How dare they? When Nolan said he would be able to time travel are we meant to get from that that Desmond had been exposed to the bleeding effect for so long that he was almost able to enter it at will and not need to use the animus? Kind of like that scene in AC2 where he sees Altair and Maria in Acre?

[@hassanfarooq2321]

How dare they 😐 Also can't wait for Red and Hex. I love you're videos man. Keep on rockin & have an amazing week ♥️😊🍻

[@Vahsir7]

You have the most informative and unbiased content in the ac community. and how dare they! :)

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Wow. You a real one

[@chefrowlet]

"Rogue is a case of 'what if'" hits so hard as I'm replaying it (on the switch... yeah i know). There's so much good stuff in here but it feels rushed and choppy.

[@SuperDropKick]

HOW. DARE. THEY. Seriously your content is great keep up the awesome work man. ❤️

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Thanks a ton!

[@Hiithere654]

I hope they add the hookblade will be in the assassin creed 4 remake

[@Hk-ox4bb]

Honestly, having Edward use a hookblade wiuld have been cool especially because it would reference to the classic Pirate with hook image lol

[@MuchWhittering]

I'm like 90% sure that Mirage post-credits scene didn't use voice actors, it was text to speech. The reason why Shaun's model was changed is to make him look like Danny Wallace.

[@Andiandru]

"Women don't sell" Now in 2024 we're overbeared with FMC in videogames. I almost forgot what a MMC was.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

0:07 That last one is ridiculous. I did notice that Silas was killed much earlier.

[@mikeblaze7424]

I guess I’m wrong but I could swear the Connor speech was in the game when he was digging to hide the key

[@RojoDinero]

Aww mama that ending would have been awesome if they had of stuck to it. Great video

[@dr.richtofen9128]

What a video, great job as always bro 🙏 Oh and how dare they have cut out such an epic ass ending

[@Argacyan]

When playing open world games I like to travel the boundary of a map after completion & I often notice stuff such as the eastern bank of the Nile or Quebec likely being cut content due to various things. Often these areas are also conceptualized that at least theoretically cut or new content could easily be inserted there. One thing I imagine could've also been an idea at some point is for instance more of Epiros appearing in AC Odyssey both due to the makeup of the map as well as the fact that the Peloponnesian War also included that area and the island of Corfu. Florida in AC Black Flag is another one of those areas which are there but weirdly off-limits.

[@Zlatanlbrahimovic9]

How dare they let you make this high-quality video? I enjoy these videos where you almost act like a journalist, digging in to unresolved cases. It obviously must take a lot of time, but atleast the end product is worth it, well done!

[@TPoynt100]

With regards to the Connor/Aveline romance being dropped, I can actually see it working if it takes place after AC3. They said that Aveline and Connor's personalities and motivations were just too incompatible to make it work, but AC3 leaves Connor off in a place that I think could have worked. Throughout AC3, Connor is shown to be naive and idealistic bordering on just kind of dumb at times. However, throughout his story, he's left in a place that I think theoretically could make him quite cynical. After all, he really bought into the Patriots' rhetoric of seeking liberty and freedom for all people, and assumed that the British crown just wanted to rule everything, and thus sided with the Patriots thinking that it would be the best way to protect his people and their land. He's instrumental in securing the Patriots' victory, and they reward him by stealing the land his village is on and driving his people further west, not to mention the personal betrayal he felt when he learned how Washington responded to the natives siding with the British. By the end of the game, his faith in the patriots' cause is basically shattered when they drive away his people and then continue to use slave labor despite it seeming to go against the things they claim to stand for because he doesn't understand how racism works. While I haven't played Liberation, I do know that the usage of slave labor in the Americas at the time was a part of the game's story, so Connor getting involved after that with his new likely more cynical mindset could have worked with Aveline. It would have just likely required him getting either a DLC that ties it into Liberation, or more ideally, a full game, since I think Connor is the one AC protagonist that would have benefitted most from getting a sequel like Ezio did.

[@walterkrueger5947]

Aya being introduced all the way back in AC2 just to have her game stolen by her no name husband really frustrates me.

[@VoiDShotzZ]

1957-1958? Damn he must’ve looked like the crypt keeper

[@theoneperson3996]

16:28 Jack the Ripper perfectly shows how darker and gritter London works better for city setting.

[@thomasedwards6641]

Not too keen on the spaceship idea but love the part of Desmond being the ultimate assassin who uses his new abilities to defeat the templars, maybe he could have been one of Isu ancestors in one game and get a new ability like eagle vision. A shame for what could have been.

[@thomasleonardis711]

The Silas change isn’t a change or an unused plot point. It’s simply protecting the secret of the changing protagonist. A very interesting and effective cover up honestly.

[@Steveo0547]

Great job bro this video is amazing I really enjoyed it

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the comments!!

[@micahmitchem936]

I just think it’s funny that historical accuracy was ever such a concern in a series that, from the beginning, has featured a roundabout version of time travel, ancient godlike civilizations, sci-fi artifacts capable of mind control etc.

[@Reptilekid_13]

How dare they I wish the broom in ac 2 was more prevalent maybe an isu super broom for ezio to hold instead of apple

[@lionheart1234]

How dare they?! I would have loved if they had made Connor, Aveline, Shay and Arno cross path with eachother in maybe a trilogy. Arno deserved to get his revenge against Shay.

[@jimhawkens7414]

"We Didn't add Philadelphia because the layout wouldn't have worked well for a stealth running assassins creed game" *proceeds to create Assassins creed Valhalla*

[@thomasleonardis711]

Rope dart was the most badass part of AC3 and I think it’s a reasonable reconstruct of a chain blade. Edit: the canoe being removed makes more sense when you consider that the world was frozen for a good portion of the story. Goes a long way to showing how development sometimes effects story but also how story can effect development.

[@Bargate]

God I would of loved to see Patrice Désilets original vision so badly it's a shame. I don't even get why Ubisoft had to ruin it they could of done a reboot of the series or spin offs after the story was concluded. Although Brotherhood, Revelations, AC3 and AC4 in their current states would of never been made so it's a double ended sword.

[@smiley6229]

They should set the game during early 20th century being about the suffragists and suffragettes, way they could improve the social stealths elements massively. It’s a unique setting as well.

[@inviz835]

I know this is an unpopular opinion but... AC Rogue was my favourite AC experience. Also HOW DARE THEY. Only goats know.

[@Gomi_gs]

I've been playing the games in release order and rogue is the most recent one i played. It's in my top three.
