Arabs don't speak like this and have never used classical Arabic in day to day conversations. They should've used a more local dialect if they want authenticity. As it is it they sound like they're reciting a poem or reading from a middle school textbook.

Even though I'm super happy they're going back to a large city again, I'm kinda worried I'll get bored of this game after playing for 45 minutes. It adds nothing new to the table it seems, nothing we haven't seen in another AC before. And even though the city looks densely populated, the NPC level of detail and animations feel remarkably oldschool and videogame-y.

Hoping for the best.

The city of Not bad ? Hopefully. It's been 10+ years since an AC is centered around one huge city, a good 20 hours game like this could be enjoyable.

I can speak standard arabic (but I'm not arab) and yes I found that strange as well, it sounds way too formal for the rough streets of medieval Baghdad.

Maybe they did it because they wanted different regions and countries of the arabic world to understand it immediately.

This is exactly what will happen. The tech is dated as hell and its cross gen base is showing. Its essentially a ps4 game. If they had made this current gen only and really packed this smaller map with detail, it would have been amazing.

That's most likely the case, I speak Levantine Arabic and can barely understand Baghdadi or Iraqi dialect.

What a great trailer, loved the Arabic as well.

Every time I see this game I just think of the word "Safe"

It's like the Force Awakens of Creed games. They need to revert back to the old shit to pull back in those old fans that lost faith in the franchise eons ago.

Isn't that exactly what they are doing? No more RPG elements and more stealth assassination?

I hope I have a good time getting A ROUND the city!

I mean, so they say, but theres also that superhero flashy dash move that the dude does where he zip zaps around one shotting everyone. Doesnt seem that stealthy to me.

 

[Luipadre]

First time im not excited for a new AC game and i played all of them. This looks like it comes out 5 years too late.

 

[SJRB]

I hope I have a good time getting A ROUND the city!

 

[VulcanRaven]

I wish the graphics were better.

 

[Dorfdad]

Meh first AC I'm not remotely interested in. Just looks boring. Was great back in the day because it was new nothing looks fresh just a smaller city driven adventure. Not for me I guess

 

[EverydayBeast]

Going back feels strange after the open world formula we've had since 2017 and origins.

and thats why im excited about this.

Give me an old school AC , bring back what made the first games awesome! Stheath assasinations , great parkour , an assassin to play as , apple of eden and first civilization shit

Graphics look a bit last-get, like they are more cartoony than realistic. Unless they wanted this more cartoony style on purpose.

Shame this game wasn't made with the AC Unity engine. But I guess that is history now. It still looks pretty outstanding though besides closeups of character model.

All I really care about is that it's the Middle East and that's mainly where the series belongs.

Any reason why they haven't gone back to the Unity engine, a few tweaks and updates and it'll easily rival some of the newer games in visuals.

 

[Kurotri]

New vid with some new footage sprinkled here and there.

 

[Montauk]

Certainly looks like an Assassins Creed game.
