Leaked AC Unity gameplay videos up in the wild (edit: re-uploaded)

Completely agreed. At this point I'd much rather they reboot the series without the modern day stuff. At least that way maybe they'll feel compelled to get rid of the huge cluster of hud elements since they will no longer have the excuse of Animus.



That's a shame but understandable. I'd really like to play this in French.

You're in luck! You CAN play it in French and turn off all the hud elements.
 

Crossing Eden

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Anyone else find Assassin's creed videos extremely boring to watch? Don't know what it is. I still really love the games and they are a blast to play. Just can't watch someone else play it.
I generally don't watch LPs of AC games unless it leaked footage or if I wanna see my VGA react to my favorite moments or missions in the game.
 
Does anyone know if the lead actress in English also did her lines in French? Thought I read she is French speaking from Canada.

Yeah, she's an actress in Quebec. She has a role in one of the best drama series ever called '19-2' where she plays a badass police officer. She's pretty good.

Dunno if she plays double-duty in Assassin though.

Badass? Isn't she like 5''2, and got mobbed during one of the episodes? 19-2 is great, but not in the same ballpark as some of the best drama series out there like Breaking Bad and The Wire.

This criticism needs to stop even more. Games that aren't yearly release with problems of their own...some more severe than others. Plus, every creed gets 3-4 years of dev time. Which, last I heard, is a pretty good amount of time to make a game.

A great game can be made in 3 years and a shitty game can be made in 5 years. AC4 was pretty accepted as a high note in the series and it released in the same window as the others.

I'd say that most other games are not nearly as buggy as AC games. I wouldn't mind them taking some extra months for each game to fix bugs.

French canadian sounds literally nothing like actual french, just saying.

Unless you know for a fact she can suppress her accent, it's weird to assume she'd be a candidate for french voice acting, as it would absolutely not be acceptable to hear the canadian accent on a french version.

Um except she is an actress and can at the very least already speak and read French, and she's doing a British accent for the game, so it's not the wildest ideas that she may know how to do a formal French accent, and she's likely had to modify her language and delivery in a number of ways anyway considering it is a period setting.

Graphically not top of the bill, but I could live with those visuals. Gameplay on the other hand...

Another hay thingie to hide you in, lots of towers and eagle views to "discover" and same old quests. I'll pass, getting unbelievably tired of the Ubi-formula.

Yeah I feel exactly the same. I'm just bored of it now.

You do know it is extremely easy to pass for a frenchman when you're from Québec, right? You just need to tighten up those ass cheeks of yours and talk like you're on the highest key note possible and voilà, done and done.

Abreviations or even mixed up words from french and english that are usually used in Quebec can just be skipped, it's not like you literraly need to use them when speaking in french here. French is french.

While I understand why a lot of gamers want an AC game set in Japan, I think that the one producer's idea, of an AC set in India, would be extremely cool.

Awh aren't you cute.

Belgian french, Canadian french, arabian french, african french, or hell australian and vietnamese french, those are "french", and in no way do they sound like proper french. Get offended all you like, there is nothing wrong as establishing the french from France as to be the proper one. In no way does it mean it's better. France itself has different accents, it's just that in terms of codes and voices, the paris accent is used as the regular accent (and we're talking about a game taking place in paris). In terms of voice acting, unless you know for a fact that the french canadian can suppress her accent entirely, then no it would not fit at all, it's not just a matter of expressions. Also, most accents are "'singing", which makes them easier to mimic, the "paris" accent is extremely flat. So using the fact that she can do a british accent is not really proof of anything.

The sheer number of Quebec stars that goes on to live in France (where they are much bigger) and get that france accent on the fly proves you are wrong. We were talking about Canadian french, not anywhere else. Drop it.

We can still hear the accent of most Canadian speaking French, if they're trying to be authentic with the French accents (and by that it means mastering the proper Paris French accent ...which is really different from the one you hear on TV usually)

Bahahahah if they did that Unity will probably be comedy gold.
Would probably beat FFVII for the worst French localisation of all time too!
Now I know how Japanese people felt about that other guy in Heroes.

in this thread: French Canadians trying to trick themselves into thinking they are actually French.

When you meet someone who says the cant understand you, they certainly can, they just want to rub their superiority in your face.

I'd also say most games aren't as big and dense as AC. Also most games don't release bug/glitch free even with an extra few months. AC are usually pretty solid releases. Hopefully the patch fixes those LOD issues, but on the whole that yearly release complaint makes little sense since each Creed gets 3-4 years of dev time. Which last I checked is pretty good.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Pretty sweet to hear Sonnerie de Ste. Geneviève du Mont-de-Paris [I had to google the spelling, lol].

Also, pretty sure this is the first time a woman gets assassinated in an AC game.
First time that a woman has been a major assassination target.

Though there was a mission back in the original where the target you go after has been swapped out with a woman instead while the target flees. I can't remember if you killed her or not though, I think Altair noticed before landing the killing blow.

Altair tried to be cool, like "Let me see your face before I kill you" and chose to spare her after he found out, I mean that this is the first time that the target is known to be female.

Is there a release day embargo for this?

I'm sure Eden probably knows the answer. Don't disappoint me Eden! I await your response hehe
 
Lets not forget that Modor's biggest strength is it's combat! Brutal, fast and satisfying, something which is severely lacking in Assassin's Creed games since it's inception!

Let's not forget it was directly ripped out of Rocksteady's engine. Alot of abilities are near identical to those of Batman Arkham Asylum/City/Origins.

The game where you hit A for Awesome till you counter and continue your pwnage combo? Actually sounds a lot like Assassins Creeds piss poor combat. Mordor is anything but satisfying. I can play it with one hand.
