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 agree, if they still made a remake of Assassin’s Creed Rogue, and they had the time, money, resources, and effort, I would buy it with absolutely zero regrets and zero shame

[@Wakababa]

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

Rouge feels like it either needed more time or to not exist. The devs working on it could have helped prevent Unity from releasing in such a pitiable state.

[@rhetiq9989]

Rogue deserved to be a big standalone release without sharing the year with other bigger titles. The concept of an Assassin going…well, rogue, and playing as a Templar is such a big thing that needed more than what it was given. It deserved to be a priority rather than a side project

[@brainybunny13]

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😅

[@waryalphaprime]

I agree. I'm trying to work my way through it right since I never got to play any AC game when i was younger. At the same time I want to see the opposite happening now with a Templar becoming an assassin although with the assassins not really trusting him much for a majority of the game

[@Mikeh2077]

Syndicate’s original idea of assassins already established in London would have made a better plot. And victory would have been a better title. Also, if they had went with that idea, it would be cool to have seen the brotherhood use Edward’s mansion as their headquarters.

[@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)

[@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

[@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.

[@gamescentrel2951]

My guess was because it wouldn’t have made any sense. Unless Shay and Achilles fought a brutal battle with Shay winning and sparing him.

How dare they, the chain blade for Connor would have been amazing but I see why they cut it. Also, the enhanced crowd blending in Black Flag might have been specifically programmed for the E3 presentation and then they couldn’t implement it smoothly into the full game so they cut it.

[@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.

[@GameRager19]

@@riannon8925 honestly I’m replaying the AC franchise right now but I’m only on brotherhood because I’m going for the platinum on them all too so I’m a little hazy on my memory, but I’m talking about the enhanced crowd blending where he would have animations with the people unlike in AC2 where Ezio would just stand or sit with people. But your saying that AC3 had the enhanced blending?

[@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. A lot of the gameplay mechanics in Black Flag and Rogue were dumbed down from AC 3

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ah, so now I understand why Evie has barely anything to do in syndicate. It's upsetting but not surprising from Ubisoft. Seriously tho, we could've played as Aya 😔

[@ac_nerd9794]

I will say the cut content throughout this series is baffling while also interesting. Some of these would be game changers for the series. Syndicate might have been a 10/10 game if the earlier concepts had made it into the game. I do think its a solid 8 though but thats my Assassin's Creed bias. I also think the vast mountains and desert across the Nile just makes me think that it was there to show there is a massive world beyond what Bayek is doing in Egypt. Simply there to illustrate the vastness of the world and how there are likely many other locations beyond those mountains that need a Hidden One. The Connor speech though should have been in the game. I also think the chain blade would have been so cool. Definitely makes me think of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat though.

I always wondered about that red assassin in AC1, like, TH is his deal? Thanks for sharing that

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.

Assassins Creed: Dino crisis kinda lit

[@armanforouharfard2490]

Above the entire thing ubisoft removed, I felt disappointed when I heard that Connor's had a strong speech that was supposed to be added for the end of the game, I could do a major role on Connor's personality and feelings about everything that happened, why did ubisoft remove it anyway? 🤔

[@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?

As someone from Philadelphia, I was so excited when 'Assassin's Creed III' was first teased and the American Revolution setting was announced. I thought I'd finally see Philly in a game that didn't involve Tony Hawk. I fully expected that it would be there and I combed the internet for any news and leaks. Soon it became apparent that, no, Philly would not be one of the explorable cities. Once again Philly would be outshone by New York during the one time in American history where it was the opposite. I wasn't too interested in the game after that and ended up playing it long after it was released. Turns out I actually enjoy the game and I can even understand their points about how Philadelphia wouldn't have been ideal for parkour, not to mention the technological limitations at the time. Now that I actually know more about the American Revolution, I can actually admit that while a lot of important things took place here, it was largely Boston where the tea really hit the harbor, as it were. Philly didn't see as much action as Boston and New York, outside of that time the British captured the city. Great video man!

[@chillyman7340]

HOW DARE THEY, The problem is, the OG Assassins Creed lore is way to detailed for new fans to understand or care about, they like the new direction of AC with the big open worlds and hacker slasher combat, they want AC to be more like a Souls game. The only problem is people like me, the Real fans miss the old detailed story teller Lore and Desmond Arc with the old combat. I am not surprised that AC is in the states it's in now, great video :)

[@ravenspurplebeats5412]

if honest i dont think people who enjoy newer ac games play it for lore or story they play it just for era its based in and combat it has, like they could be any type character in that era and not matter since story is so messed up and ruined now that story doesnt matter i think in past of any new ac game or modern time. Also thats best part to me with origins was setting and combat but for sure story telling was bad and so was characters you play as, since found it hard to like them as grew up playing from ac1.

[@nikoraasu6929]

you either make a game for a fanbase or make a game so dilluted that it becomes a game for no one, like Valhalla

[@chillyman7340]

@@nikoraasu6929 At this point the problem isn't even the new direction but just the really bad execution of the new direction, the cut scenes are hard to watch and the gameplay isn't rewarding, we will see how AC shadows does because by the looks of it they making the exact same mistakes.

[@nikoraasu6929]

@@chillyman7340 well for now all we know is they are still pushing woke agenda

Desmond was boring as fuck, and all the precursor shit was just ancient aliens crap. People plays AC games for the historical settings and the power fantasy of being some kind of super assassin, the modern day crap was always boring.

[@Dr.Richtofen987]

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

[@TheTemplarsCreed]

17:26 - Look at their uniforms as well, bright and resplendent. And we get the drab looking outfits within Syndicate.

[@DarkshadowXD63]

35:40 you can actually find the small encampment from the E3 gameplay in the actual game but only during the Winter season sequences. There aren't any side quests but its there.

[@Void_reviewz_]

How dare they Very cool video, some real interesting ideas and it would have been cool to see how some of em played out

[@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.

[@Channel-bx5lm]

I had an idea that if Ubisoft wanted to make the last final part of the AC franchise, then events outside the animus would take place in the near futuristic future that is facing a new apocalypse and the hero would have to decipher the genetic code and barriers to access to the most distant ancestors. And as soon as he deciphers it, he will connect to the memories of Adam and Eve, and the entire main gameplay will take place for Adam and Eve in the locations of Eden. And in the finale, it will become clear whether the new protagonist will be able to stop the next apocalypse, as Desmond did before him, or will most of humanity still be erased?

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

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

[@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.

[@trial5269]

How dare they Awesome work, dude, keep it up!!

[@Nino3Productions]

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

[@GilCAnjos]

The cut city in AC Rogue was 100% Port-au-Prince, in Haiti. It just makes sense that Shay would be there to witness the first earthquake, and then later come back to kill Adéwalé at his home, rather than Adéwalé sailing all the way to Canada for no reason

HOW DARE THEY ended Desmond's story so quickly , i was invested into desmond's story in the journey of him being an master assassin

[@JD-xs2si]

Weird thing is, I remember playing in Philadelphia at one point in AC3 on the PS3. I even remember it having a base that I had to liberate. But then I couldn't go back and I had one base left that I could never liberate. I never had 100% completion because of that
