Dear god, the game has so many buggy animations, pop-in, awful NPC behavior, and awkward clipping. I know it's "Pre-alpha" or whatever, but that means poo poo when they're releasing in five months.

It felt like they were playing it very safe with what they highlighted in the video. Even with Jacob and Evie—only the biggest fedoras could possibly object to playing as a man and a woman, but they still framed it like it's just Jacob. (Unless I missed something in the minute or so where my internet cut out.) Personally I don't care if the gameplay is new and revolutionary or not, as long as it's fun and not a total copy/paste of the previous one. I had a lot of fun with Unity, so if it has Unity as a basis with improvements/some cool extras, that works for me. Ideally it'd be like Black Flag, which improved on virtually all of my gameplay problems with AC3. I'm sure I'll buy this, but I'll wait and see what comes in the next few months before deciding whether to wait for a price drop or not.

Between the leak and an Ubisoft survey last year where they specifically asked for people's opinions on being able to switch between a male and female Assassin, I believe that she's going to be playable, though not necessarily as a 50/50 split in story missions. That makes the launch seem even more safe, if it's true—they avoided highlighting a fairly sizable change and stuck with the tried and true gameplay updates. Hopefully that means they're sitting on more interesting stuff, because even if I don't need the game to have SUPER INNOVATIVE!!! additions, I'd like to be able to get excited as opposed to "yeah that looks all right, I'll get it sometime."

Both have their own skill trees, offering up two unique individuals to develop." Why they didn't mention this I have no idea.

that gameplay walkthrough bored the poo poo out of me. really all they did was go through an incredibly generic mission, and the only difference was in the grapple. Also lol for integrating a very rudimentary grapple in the same year that Just Cause 3 is going to blow the poo poo out of AC's grappling mechanic. it's kind of a shame because all this basically told me is that even with a cooler setting, it's still the same old bullshit we've seen for years and people are are likely finally tired of it. The Victorian setting would be interesting but now they're even inventing ways to bypass the unique architecture. By the time this comes out I'll have Batman and MGS5 so what can this new AC possibly bring to the table? Both of those games plus JC3 will probably do everything better.

Eurogamer posted:Syndicate will be the first Assassin's Creed game set in a properly post-Industrial era. Think of London but with an impoverished working class, dirty living conditions and general despair among the poor. Now rewind around a century from 2015 and you're there. It's funny because it's true.

It looks okay I guess. That's all I can really say about it. It looks better than Unity and 3 but that's not much of an accomplishment, but doesn't look nearly as cool as Black Flag.

Lord Lambeth posted:Black Flag wasn't that great outside of the boat bits AC peaked with AC2 and then kept it going with AC4 for a time but literally the only thing they've changed since then is 1) now you can crouch 2) now you can climb down. Oh I guess top hats and limited grapplings too but that's it. AC4 was good solely because it completely changed how you travel, what the world feels like, and so on. Ubisoft could literally ditch the assassin poo poo, take 2 years, and make the best pirate game ever made but they're retarded so they won't.

I like the guy's design but I haven't seen the lady's since I'm at work and was only able to see one video. How many times will we see the I'm a brash, sort of idealistic guy who becomes an assassin for my own selfish purposes but after tremendous hardships learn to respect and embody the Creed?

Black Flag was great just for its setting and piratey activities, but one of the things that really stuck with me about it is the emotional journey Edward went through, from an absolute(ly entertaining) dickhead to a guy who more or less ruined his own life and learned to live for something greater while not being able to get back what was lost. The sequence with him going on a massive bender of despair was fantastically well-done. These are my unnecessarily earnest thoughts about Stabby Parkour: The Series.

The pirate stuff was so great it makes me wonder why we couldn't have a big pirate game series instead.
