I guess you might be able to try yourself some time... quote:Have you ever played one of Ubisoft’s games and thought, “This is fun and all, but I’d really like to experience it as a theme park ride”? Good news! That wish will soon become reality, now that Ubisoft’s announced plans for a next-generation theme park. Slated to open in 2020 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the park will be a 10,000-square-meter indoor complex featuring rides, shows and other attractions, all built around Ubisoft’s games and characters. It's not April 1, I'm confused.

Ubisoft plays catch-up with these games. People liked sailing, let's make a pirate one. Some of the long time fans didn't like the focus on sailing over Assassin's Creeding, but some said the sailing was the only good part so let's make both. People are upset at no female Assassins in the last one, let's put one in. So whatever you want in the next Assassin's Creed, just complain loudly about it in the current one.

Palpek posted:Well, it was supposed to be funny but more as an example of oversimplifying or cutting game mechanics with a long list including the rope, whistling, diving, executions etc. It all added up to making the experience more bland as all that this accomplished was removing various ways in which you could have approached a mission if it was a previous AC game. Which is really sad as a lot of Unity's missions were opened up more in terms of level design. They would have been open to far more approaches.

hiddenriverninja posted:competitive multiplayer was what brought me into AC in the first place. I was extra sad it didn't live past AC4 I loved the competitive multiplayer, but they really didn't change it up enough between each game so by AC3, I was burned out on it. I loved the CooP from AC: Unity, too. If they alternated between the two (coop, competitive) each game, that would give the modes enough time to feel fresh again or at the very least the devs time to come up with new ideas to keep them fresh. On the one hand, I'm kinda excited there's no multiplayer this time around so they can focus on making the single player great. That said...everything they've shown so far seems so BLAND. The game just screams "generic Ubisoft openworld game" based off of what they've shown. Yeah...every AC game has been a "generic Ubisoft openworld game", its the series where they refined the formula, but Syndicate is looking...doubly bland? I think the Witcher 3 raised the bar so high as to how handcrafted an openworld game is, the generic-ness of Assassins Creed is starting (hah!) to look dated. hiddenriverninja posted:Say what you want about AC 3, that main theme owns bones: The music has always been exemplary. I do like as how we get closer to modern day, timeline wise, they're going out of their way to include tons of music contemporary to the setting. Them shanties!

hiddenriverninja posted:Say what you want about AC 3, that main theme owns bones: One thing that AC games have universally excelled at is being aesthetically pleasing. They all look great (for the platforms they were developed for, and in Unity's case when it was patched), and with the exception of voice acting in AC1 they all sound great. The soundtracks are almost all superb. Where they live and die though is in the gameplay and the writing.

If they just said that for Syndicate they're keeping the improved systems from Unity like item inventory, parkour, coop, base of operations, detailed building interiors and swore to bring back everything they cut from the land gameplay that is still there in Rogue then I would be all over it. But ehh.

The Humble Store is doing an Ubisoft sale with a build your own bundle thing where the more games you have, the more of a discount you get. That includes the Assassin's Creed games, even Chronicles game set in China. Might be worth checking out if you haven't played a certain game yet.

Today I was in Paris in FNAC at Les Halles north of Notre Dame / Sainte Chappelle and they still have life sized statues of Connor from AC3 and that guy from Unity in the video games section in the second basement. I was actually excited to take a selfie with Connor. I don't know what's wrong with me

If I had to dream up a cool coop mode, i'd have 2 Assassins, one in the Animus and another in the real world, navigating and exploring a similar yet evolved real structure in real time, searching for some kind of clue in the past to do something in the future.

I obsessively follow these stupid games and is it just me or are they previewing AC:S with a lot more....real gameplay this time around? Like, it doesn't look like a scripted walkthrough but genuine, legit gameplay. Its odd. Marketingwise, it does seem the intent is to say: "LOOK ITS NOT BUGGY LIKE UNITY!" but they seem to be missing the point that it looks really boring. I'll hold of. I wasn't going to get Black Flag and then the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Then I stupidly preordered Unity on AC4 good faith. I liked it, but I think I would have liked it more had I not played it at release.

Sure unity not have been "worst game evar" but it was broken enough in enough ways that ubisoft gave out free games to compensate. They risked big on a glorified new gen tech demo and lost. so for now they are taking a more Conservative approach to the markting. it reminds me alot of what happend after 3, they were a lot quieter about 4. then again alot of the bigger studios have been more queit about their various yearly projects. i have bearly heard a peep from activision, even though AW and the BO3 beta were pretty fun.

Even if AC Unity was a perfectly optimized and polished game, it'd still be a complete chore to play through. Ubisoft doesn't seem to realize that, because Syndicate just looks like a more optimized and polished Unity with nothing done to address how loving boring Unity was.

I don't know what's up with those Syndicate facial animations because Unity had a really great facial animation engine, suppressed only by Witcher 3. I guess they decided not to use it?

kinmik posted:Goddamn, you weren't kidding. Only the HUD is an old friend at this point. The cutscene cinematography (long, sweeping establishing pans) and facial rendering (what's up with that? It's so lovely) is really throwing me off with how jarringly different it is from the rest. New doesn't necessarily mean bad, and I'm definitely looking forward to it coming out, but only so others can play it, and I can judge for myself whether it's worth it. Like, it's an assassination mission, probably an early one admittedly, and he just walks in and beats up a few dudes, knifes a few others and leaves. One of the long standing complaints with AC is that the assassinations aren't very assassin-y, but you can't deny that throughout the series all of the specific assassination missions at least have some production to them. Some pomp and circumstance; running along rooftops, having to find the target, having to do some modicum of stealth and avoidance. They at least tend to be cool setpieces. This is just... eh.

I don't think these games will be good until ubisoft goes "huh maybe we don't need to pop these things out every year". It's just not sustainable.

I definitely noticed a downgrade in graphical fidelity, not just the faces, from Unity too. This is probably how they're optimizing the game though so it won't run like poo poo.

Let's not forget how good Unity's premise looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5tBpPxdZGs ...so I'm not believing anything until I play Syndicate myself (also check out the facial expressions in the trailer).
