[UtterlyPerplexed]

Meh, I can wait. Not going to drop full price on this. Plus I still need* to actually play Black Flag first. >.>

*well I don't NEED to, but I'm not going to purchase yet another Ass Creed when I've a copy of Black Flag sitting there collecting dust


But I mainly came in to laud at the OT subtitle.

 

[Corgi]

wait review embargos is tuesday? aren't they usually earlier than release date for this series?

 

[Self_Destructive]

This OT - When OT's are better then the games they feature.

Amazing job Visceral!

 

[SlasherJPC]

so.. can you wear the other assasin's Robes from Previous AC games? Like what AC4 did or has that not been revealed yet?

Yes but you have to unlock them.

wait review embargos is tuesday? aren't they usually earlier than release date for this series?

Yes, but embargo on walkthroughs, lets plays and streams is pretty much open. Odd, but that's how they did it this time.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

I have hope. I really like these games so I hope it runs pretty well.

My sentiments exactly.

I thought I was going to previously going to get this Day 1, given that at the time I only had a PC. But now that I have a PS4 as well, I'll wait for reviews and GAF impressions to decide which platform to get the game on.

 

[woen]

so.. can you wear the other assasin's Robes from Previous AC games? Like what AC4 did or has that not been revealed yet?

Yes. Altair, Ezio (from AC:B), Connor, Edward, Shay (AC:Rogue) and two other special outfits you'll discover).

 

[Gaz_RB]

Just bought and am preloading now.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yes. Altair, Ezio (from AC:B), Connor, Edward, Shay (AC:Rogue) and two other special outfits you'll discover).

Awesome. I played AC4 with Ezio's Outfit for the Entire Game

 

[Skux]

Yes. Altair, Ezio (from AC:B), Connor, Edward, Shay (AC:Rogue) and two other special outfits you'll discover).

Cross dressing outfit from AC Liberation confirmed.

 

[matrixman92]

reminder that gamestop is doing a universal release for this game in the US. People on West coast can pick up their copy at 9:01 PM etc..

 

[razgriz417]

haha nice title. Will be passing this year (DAI is calling my name), but I hope the game runs better than what people were expecting in the last thread. May get this down the line if the game turns out ok

 

[MayMay]

Hope Origin is gonna allow me to preload tomorrow.. Dont even know why I bought it on there (except the price lol)

 

[Smokey]

Bought this on PC. After hearing about performance issues on consoles, I couldn't do it. Swear to the gaming gods if UBI fucks me with this port...

 

[thelastcrusader]

Ha I remember seeing Jett's suggestion in the parity thread and thinking "genius".
Glad you stuck with it!

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

We will merge our PCs together like voltron and destroy the entirety of French Canada.

And French France.

 

[iNvid02]

if the pc performance is anything like AC3 then gsync screens got its work cut out

 

[Aces&Eights]

My very first, day one, digital, preload game. Got it preloaded and the patch downloaded. I only downloaded 7gb so I assume that is to get me started and the rest will download Tuesday? I noticed in my system management that it has allocated 40Gb.

Tuesday is a holiday in the US so that means I can come home tomorrow after work and take a nice man nap (I'm old) and be there for 12:01AM release.

Spoiler

Please be good,Ubisoft.

 

[Vire]

Just bought and am preloading now.

Is it set to unlock at 3 AM EST?

I don't understand why COD: AW was allowed to do 12 EST and everyone else is 3 AM. Makes no sense.

 

[Genio88]

Best title ever

 

[Self_Destructive]

Is this pre-loadable on Steam yet?

 

[@Wreck]

been looking forward to this all month nice OT Cheers OP!

 

[VisceralBowl]

Is this pre-loadable on Steam yet?

no, sadly.

 

[Corgi]

It's insane that you still can't pre load stuff on uplay, yet you usually can when you buy stuff off steam. Think ill just wait for reviews when I'm playing valkyria chronicles.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

bring on tomorrow co-op with my buddys is going to be so good
Amazing OT thread OP

 

[Raxus]

We will merge our PCs together like voltron and destroy the entirety of French Canada.

And French France.

Just leave french fries and we're good.

What is with the rumors of the poor framerate? I heard about the parity but if the framerate is effected I might as well get the PC version as well.

xbox one has some pretty severe dips according to people who have played it with 30fps being more of a ceiling than anywhere near avg. the ps4 apparently has less severe dips going by the videos released from leaks and much closer to 30fps. In reality, it appears only resolution has parity and effects. Framerate wise there's no parity. Of course, all this is said without knowing what they day one patch (if there is one) does.

If anyone is curious here's the preorder bonus mission Chemical Revolution on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efc88b4O5bA

And let me tell you, it's a doozy.... and by doozy I mean an incredibly tedious tailing mission.

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

Anyone know how the co op in this works? Only side missions or can I free roam and play story missions with family and friends?

 

[Yibby]

Only Special coop side missions, no Story missions.

Okay so run for your target and alert them. Should be viable now.

 

[That Wont Fit In There]

Only Special coop side missions, no Story missions.

Well that's disappointing. I was hoping it could be the whole campaign.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Awesome OT, Visceral! Love your threads. I'm gonna love this game. Been waiting for French Revolution AC game since 2, I'm glad they waited, this looks massive. I hope it's great to explore.

 

[False Witness]

There is co-op free roam too though, yeah?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Best title


Will get this game Black Friday

Spoiler

next year or used

 

[VisceralBowl]

I couldn't find a reliable source saying there was.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Only Special coop side missions, no Story missions.

Glad to hear that! I was worried from where I was to get pals to play the story missions if they were coop. But I can understand frustration from you guys who wanted story missions in coop too.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

One more time for confirmation,

You can have total French voices in the English version of the game but also have English subtitles?

 

[sjay1994]

We will merge our PCs together like voltron and destroy the entirety of French Canada.

And French France.

Its Kiev. Montreal won't be escaping your wrath.

 

[kyser73]

I'm halfway through the AW campaign, so I should get that completed either tonight or tomorrow, just in time to trade in for this.

I'm a sucker for this series, and I'm looking forward to scaling Notre Dame & Le Tour Eiffel.

Between co-op missions you can take to the streets with your friends to explore Paris from its steeples to its sewers. Whenever your Brotherhood unites, you are bound to make history together.

 

[sjay1994]

My hype for this game was brutally bashed over the course of 5 months.

I'm going in expecting nothing, similar to how I went into revelations.

Kinda fitting both games were directed by Amancio. Nothing against the guy, he seems like a nice man.... but the AC games he has directed seem to have far to many problems going into them.

 

[Yibby]

I think that not having coop in the campaign is a good decision. It's very difficult to implement a working coop experience AND a good Story.

 

[ViciousDS]

Picking this up Tuesday with mcc....will probably be on the back burner for a bit lol

This perhaps, but it's already more than a week old. So it could be an early Version and is definitely unpatched. You can see large crowds, fighting, climbing, running.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Is it set to unlock at 3 AM EST?

I don't understand why COD: AW was allowed to do 12 EST and everyone else is 3 AM. Makes no sense.

It's 3am EST for me, sorry bro

Got Unity and BF for $40 on ebay (xbox bundle code), pretty decent deal

They only explore the first areas of the game (l'île de la cité where you can find Notre-Dame) and their NDA forces them not to reveal too many things. They do combat, free running, side quests and character customization.

Not the best I've seen but it gives you an idea.
