Eponymous posted:Yeah... He totally dies at the end of AC3. In AC4 you find video of Abstergo dudes cutting the heart out of his corpse, so he's probably not coming back. The way they handled AC4, where the animus stuff was relatively short and non-obtrusive, leads me to believe that they're listening to feedback and are using it as more background from now on. I hate how they handled te modern day stuff in AC4. It was just so incredibly obnoxious: you're this douchy rear end in a top hat working in the douchiest place possible, carrying an ipad along everywhere, and they still shoehorned those two massively annoying hacker and historian twats into the story. And your character had to do everything that other voice who called you all the time wanted him to because of unclear, stupid reasons.

Orv posted:I'm pretty sure the time anomaly is just going to be "Here's the Eiffel Tower, kill planes on it" with a smattering of talky bits around it, nothing spectacular. Yeah, it stinks of "here's a mission prompt where the Eiffel Tower's gonna be in a couple of years. Press X to have an instance of you having to climb it and shoot down a german plane. Here's your rank and reward, now here's some more mission markers thrown into your map to do more stuff like that at your leisure."

Samurai Sanders posted:I might get it, just because I want AC with tall buildings and a seriously important time in world history again. And the buildings and synch points were so tiny. It felt silly seeing Connor perch on a little waist-high stake sticking out of the ground from atop a hill and having the camera pan around dramatically as if he were on the top of the world.

Bro Dad posted:I looked through the LP of Rogue posted earlier and holy poo poo it is the exact same game as 4, except they added the snowtiles and New York (with more trees!) from 3. They even reuse the Abstergo office from the last game. Is this necessarily bad? Other than an over reliance on loving tailing missions and BOAT STEALTH Black Flag was a pretty solid game, possibly the best in the series.

Megasabin posted:Someone in the PS4 thread already got their copy. Apparently it runs like poo poo on the PS4 with tons stuttering and framerate drops Couldn't that be because the day one patch that all new flagship games seem to need isn't out yet and won't be until tomorrow?

Narcissus1916 posted:Assassin's Creed has ran chunkily since they switched over to the new engine in AC3. I played that game when it first came out and it had freezing, massive framerate drops, mission icons and characters not activating properly, missing audio in cutscenes... it was a loving mess. Just think of it as double immersion; the abstergo employee suffers of brain damage

macnbc posted:Ubisoft says that AC Unity uses "every ounce of power" from the PS4 and XB1. After hearing all of the performance issue, why would they say this? Why would Sony and Microsoft allow them to say this? Statements like that do way more harm than good.

Orv posted:Nope, everything I said about this game that might have been good was wrong. Well, I was on the fence because despite knowing Ubi Soft to be a bunch of liars and braggarts I am still a fool with money who wants to play next gen rear end creed but that definitely cements my decision to a "no" (until after patches and price drop)

macnbc posted:Probably that because of the way their annual release cycle works they're already more than halfway done with the next year's title before this year's is released, so they're never really able to incorporate feedback. So AC 2016 will be incredible because they implemented the mission rating system in Black Flag?

Daily Forecast posted:I want cats to rub on my legs again, what the gently caress ubisoft. Not really. It says so at the end right there that they still haven't locked down how to fix the framerate issue. At any rate, you gotta wonder why a Triple A game with an incredible budget that's been in development for years (their words) for new generation machines needs more than three patches in order to maybe make it playable at a decent level. I mean it's been out for less than a week and they've released two patches in quick succession. What the gently caress developers.

Daily Forecast posted:To be fair I swear that every game these days has a day one patch. It just seems standard procedure anymore to release games unfinished, ship them, and then make a mad scramble to actually iron out everything in the last few weeks. I'm trying to think of the last non-Nintendo game that was just shove it in the disc drive and press A to play. (I don't think 3D World or Mario Kart 8 had day-one patches)

ayn rand hand job posted:That's more an issue with how it's become much easier to digitally distribute patches than it is to actually physically distribute software. At some point you need to send out a gold master, so the factory can make and package the game. Yeah but Nintendo actually offered to let you download the patch a couple of days before just to save you time, which I don't think is a thing most developers let you do.

I think the french revolution is as modern as it gets, because the costumes are just looking stupider and stupider as fashion changes. I mean it was fine in the original AC because it was the Crusades and monks wore cowls and hoods similar to the assassins so it was fitting. In Ezio's trilogy it was fine too because again fashion in the Renaissance was silly like that. By the time of the American Revolution and the Caribbean stuff it looks stupid, and they seem to be toying with the idea of extending it further into the 1920's with the pinstripe suit with the absurd hood.

And no one's meaningfully called out the assassins over their policies being super dumb and retarded EDIT: whoa wait maybe Rogue does it? And at least in 3 Conner was willing to listen to the templars from what I recall. Calaveron fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jan 19, 2015 |

The Grimace posted:They say how Connor dies in extended universe? I hope it's really painful. Like, I hope that he shits blood and the entire time, he blames it on Charles Lee. That would be an enjoyable end to a terrible character. I think his wife leaves him and takes his kid and he just descends into alcoholism. At any rate, I know Connor was dull, but I thought he was pretty interesting in that he was one of the first characters to question the assassins and actually tried to understand the templars' PoV

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?

What tickles my funny bone is that the game is in apparently pre-alpha stages. Now I don't know much about game developing but when I hear prealpha I imagine textureless polygons or very rudimentary models in featureless voids going through the motions in order to test the engine and physics and stuff like that, not stuff that is basically 80% done with some janky animations and noticeable pop-in that will still make it into the final version of the game.
