We Got NEW Assassin’s Creed Shadows Parkour Gameplay

[@TheHiddenOne690]

I will say this is a big step up from the previous RPG AC games so it's a positive in that regard. Parkour is weird becaue it's something you need to feel for yourself to get a good grasp of it, which makes this article tricky to understanding fully.

[@RRai2000]

But I am still keeping my expectations low. You never know if this AC game will be good or not.

[@oshertoyui8545]

I just really respect the fact they let us choose what type of parkour we want to do

[@thatmajestictoad]

I just want the ability to remap my controls like the previous couple of entries to make it more similar to the older games. Was a little difficult finding the right mapping but just the ability to do so I hope is still present. Everything else though makes me more optimistic but my main worry is still the combat. It looks decent but will it play decently as well. Never been a fan of the hitbox based combat for AC but it is what it is.

[@jackconklin5398]

Combat is so bad

[@My-Voice-Is-Weird]

I think it would be so funny if yasuke did have an air assassination but it was just jumping on a person, no blades involved, just squishing them

Instead of articles, Ubisoft needs to release trailers focusing on these aspects of the game. But, it does sound like Ubisoft is cooking up something good so I'm pretty hyped.

[@platynum2502]

The parkour reminds me of the parkour we had in the chronicles games with the jump and the rope climbing!!!

[@ΣτέργιοςΜποπότας-ζ1μ]

I think thats intetional. Its more of a thoey of mine but the reason for this resemblance is because Naoe is actually Shao jun grandaughter! That theory comes from a confirmed leak that Naoes mother is a big mystery and propably she is the one who introdused Naoes father in the Brotherhod. It also explains why some things about Naoe (especialy her stone shapped flute) are not Japanesse but Chinese.

[@snowshock8958]

So Shao Jun is probably Naoe grandmother... Fujibayashi Yasumasa? The real son of Fujibayashi Nagato.

[@donkerbolls]

The recovery roll is huge. I took parkour lessons from early on and thats what got me into these games in the first place. Making a jump that feels too high, making the decision to press the button and roll out of it, and then seeing your character carry out your decision on screen is EVERYTHING. It's why I loved the parkour up/down system from Unity. Make a decision, press a button to manually trigger the action you chose, and then watch your character carry out said action on screen. Cognitively very satisfying even as someone who do parkour irl

[@yurpper2242]

And they said this looked like ghost of Tsushima her movements look extra smooth buttery and the front flip out the open doors what imagine that into an assassination after

[@TheHiddenOne690]

When it comes to combat, gameplay, UI, the comparisons are fair enough.. but when it comes to parkour, it's an insult to compare GOTs "parkour" to any AC game. And I love GOT.

[@featurelength5086]

My theory for why there's no Yasuke footage: his parkour is going to be very limited and visually uninteresting. He's the combat guy, wearing full metal armor, carrying a lot of weapons, and his guard ability takes up the same button as Naoe's grappling hook. He probably can't *do* any of the cool moves they want to show off here- maybe even him climbing normal ledges and obstacles will be slower and less graceful. I hope that, if this is true, there'll be multi-phase missions where the characters have to support each other. Use Yasuke to fight a bunch of enemies so Naoe can slip in. Use Naoe to open the gates so Yasuke can stride in and take heads. I'm cautiously optimistic after the last few press releases. I really want Shadows to be a good game, I love the AC games and all their silly ideas, even though the execution can be dumb sometimes.

[@Robin...222]

It's really good that they're including community suggestions, such as readding the grappling hook or recruits and going in another direction than RPG

It's funny how she does a frontflip on literally every jump in the video, who is she showing off for? You said you can choose not to? Also I don't really like the mandatory ledge hold for jumping off high places. As you said it gives up freedom, and it seems like it could be made optional. The rest I do like what I see, it at least looks very smooth.

[@Birdrawn]

You ever seen ninjas on cartoons? She's pretty much got the same thing going on, unnecessary flips to look cool, black outfit, rope weapon. It makes sense and I like it, Not necessarily realistic but this is a game after all. Better to look cool than have a rehashed parkour system.

I just wanted Naoe to stop grunting so loud when parkouring. I remember them showing her off previously and thinking "gosh this is horrid. did she forget she is supposed to be stealthy?" Like obviously I get it takes a lot of exertion but surely the brotherhood trains recruits to control that kinda thing, right? At least all other protagonists (except for those in Origins-Valhalla but they make sense otherwise) were way quieter as far as I remember. Also the whole thing about not being able to climb everything is a huge downgrade imo. I absolutely loved being able to climb anything and everything in the other newer games.
