So I had no idea this Yasuke person even existed. Pretty fucking cool. Thanks for this history lesson dudes.
Looks like Assassin’s Creed Red’s protagonist is an African Samurai

It's not "the term", it's the culture war.
But yeah, agree on the rest.

Never call an iranian arab lol. I know it is confusing. Iran the country has an arab minority, thus there are Iranian arabs ( citizens of iran), but Iranian is also the word for the language group for all the iranic languages.

Aren't you supposed to blend into crowds and shit in these games? Being the only black dude in all of Japan would make that a bit more challenging, I'd assume.

if they actually improve systems I may be interested, if it's just another reskin I'll pass. Blackflag was the last one I played and enjoyed. The others completely lost their "assassin/stealth" roots.

The alternative would've been a Japanese protagonist, hardly a white Anglo Saxon character no? And the Character that started the series off was an Ismaili Arab. The whole series is based on a Shia Muslim Arab sect lol.

Fun thing here is that asian characters are a lot less rapresented in games/movies than black ones, and they choose the literally only black samurai ever existed as a main character in a game that take place in ancient Japan 
Anyway it can be cool or shit as every other AC game out there, the main character or the story is not the problem of Ubisoft games IMHO.

AI art. Details like the eyes and right shoulder armor give it away. There's things most AI art programs just can't get right. Eyes and perspective/depths are one of them as well as skin/body parts into armor. It's a fake. And wtf is that between his brow. Never in the history of anything has anyone seen that shit before lmao looks terrible. That wouldn't pass any Director's table

What's the issue here? There's nothing historically in accurate about this.

That's not true, Valhalla can be played completely in stealth aside from a couple of story based sieges; it has guaranteed one hit kill assassinations and social stealth like blending in crowds and using your cloak to avoid detection in certain zones. It's origins and odyssey that made it extremely hard to play stealth because the damage you did was based on your gear and level.
There are rumours that make this sound like the second best AC, Syndicate; that game had two protagonists, one being the muscle/enforcer, and the other the actual assassin (ubi actually completely avoided marketing the second character even though she's the more important one, because of not having the balls to just go with a female protagonist just yet).
If the rumour is true then it sounds like yasuke is the samurai muscle, while the assassin is a japanese female ninja.

Because ESG is a thing and every fucking piece of media coming out is lecturing me about racism, trans people and capitalism. It doesn't bother me per se, but I'm too disillusioned to believe they are trying to tell a good story. I now, by default, believe they picked the black character because he's black.
Happy to be wrong.

He looks absolutely badass (unless that's just AI art in which case he still looks absolutely badass).

But wouldn't trash woke ideas be right at home in trash games?
If the game is trash and unappealing to you why care so much? Skip it, I haven't played an AC game since Unity and life is just peachy.

I'm certain that Ubisoft, with their talented team of developers and well written writing team, will handle this particular piece of history with the utmost respect and not so safely that it comes off as condescension or cock it up spectacularly.
I dare say if anyone at all could pull it off it would be Ubisoft.

Honestly, after Valhalla and Odyssey, I'm ready for anything Ubisoft shits out with the AC label. I can't get enough of the franchise. It's my ultimate guilty pleasure.

That was why I didn't finish Syndicate. I preferred the girl because of her stealth gameplay and disliked playing the guys story sections.

That ban is, imho, uncalled for and we're risking to go back to 2018.
You're only HALF allowed.
Just poking fun at their similar names. This thread is hilarious by the way.

The irony. Sees one not-white person and cries racism. Sees black people complain after the past century of 95% of all fucking media looking like a Connecticut Yacht Club at brunch and probably calls them woke terrorists or some shit.

Cool characters stuck inside

Maybe, but they made a better non-linear "Zelda-esque" game than Nintendo managed to, so I'll wait and see.

Hell Bayek was the best protag Ac ever had.
Also, they probably did this to distinguish from ghost of tsushima.
Finally, gender swap is a thing now in ac, wonder who would be the fem protag.

I think the biggest question is: Will it be fun to play like Origins and earlier? Or will it be a bloated mess like Odyssey and Valhalla? Given its Ubisoft, I can't help but feel worried. I love the AC games, but they have made enjoying the franchise harder with the needless excess/paint by numbers design and gameplay loop.
Iranians, like Afghani's and Turks aren't considered arabs by the way.
Edit: nevermind, I see this has been covered already.

So he was a retainer, not a samurai.Cool. Before someone calls this woke or something, he did exist and served with Oda Nobunaga:

Almost every other Assasin's creed game stars a character indigenous to the location, but for Japan, they decide to insert a non-indigenous black character. How is this any better than if the main character was a white foreigner? Or are they going to pretend that black people always existed in Japan?

Deep down you know what the answer is.
