Graphically, it looks fantastic, there's no denying that. I'm also liking the tweaks they're making to the stealth gameplay and animations. The lack of authenticity for the main character's voice still drives me nuts however, even if it's not that big of a deal in the long run.

Overall, I'm pretty hyped for this one. Those quotes are hilarious though.

Ubisoft's weakpoint has always been combat, and it looks like it's not getting much better here, unfortunately.

 

[GladiatoR]

What the fuck. No French accent = no buy. Sorry but that's how it is.

Great looking game apart from that though. Looks stellar.

 

[Almisael]

Loving that stiff combat animation.

 

[ultron87]

I really like how the indoor parts of buildings finally seem to be integrated into the open world. Previously you'd only be inside during separately loaded sections or during canned animations as you run through shortcuts.

Jumping directly into a window to shank two guards looks super cool.

 

[hydruxo]

I'm excited. I love all the AC games (some more than others), but they are always fun and enjoyable for me. This one looks great.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I'm honestly actually pretty bothered by the accents.

I'm probably in the minority that isn't bothered by the lack of accents. If they're not actually speaking in French, I don't see why Pythonesque French accents are needed or why British accents are "immersion breaking".

I've always felt the same way about films and games.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Looks boring as all AC games but AC4.
Probably the retail game won't look as good too. At least on consoles or without some mods in the case of PC.

 

[injurai]

looks like a wet match

 

[JohnGrimm]

Modding an Asscreed game? What sourcery is this?

 

[Biker19]

I'm hoping that they'll have a ton of NPC's, more enemies, & bigger worlds due to tons of more RAM available. I like the challenge that way.

 

[Tohsaka]

Looking forward to it, it's really obvious that it's not cross-gen.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

I think it's interesting that they used different press quotes in the UK and US trailer.
UK on the left, US on the right.


Maybe their marketing has determined that US consumers respond better to one-word soundbites about graphics.

Well, Eurogamer, VG247 and FHM are based in the UK while GameSpot, Game Informer and Newsarama are based in the US.

I'm probably in the minority that isn't bothered by the lack of accents. If they're not actually speaking in French, I don't see why Pythonesque French accents are needed or why British accents are "immersion breaking".

I've always felt the same way about films and games.

It's more like an amusing tradition for me rather than "immersion breaking" or what-not.

 

[~Kinggi~]

it looks sexy super sexy you guys

For some reason I'm getting AC3 vibes from this game.

Was AC3 great? I haven't played it, but I liked 2

 

[jim2point0]

No. It's pretty much the worst game in the series.

 

[FStop7]

Dear Ubi,

Please don't fuck this up.

Please don't fuck this up.

Please don't fuck this up.

Bring the game you brought to the table for AC2 and Brotherhood.

Was AC3 great? I haven't played it, but I liked 2

AC3 was an abominable piece of shit.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

I'm pretty hype for this game. Seems great, although I do hope they tone it down a bit with the collect-a-thon business, since that stuff only artificially inflates the lifetime of the game. I rather they make the game replayable on its own merits.

Even as a big AC fan though, the next current-gen AC game probably needs to switch historical settings. Between AC3, Liberation, 4, Unity (and if it exists, Comet), that will be at least 5 ACs in the Colonial Era. Come on Ubi, don't burn us out on that time period!

Options>Dialog>French. FIXED!!

 

[Duxxy3]

Hopefully no ship battles. I know that some people loved them, but I did not.

 

[TriniTrin]

Looks good!

However, when will we see AI/NPC's that have reactive faces. There are two parts in the trailer where the guards are being surprised but instead of a surprised face, we get this..

it kinda makes the shot look like ass...

 

[K' Dash]

People complaining about the voices?

Change the language to french, problem solved.

That face... it stares into my soul...

 

[shem935]

That reaction face: "Why u do me like dis Arno?"

 

[Kunan]

I've been thinking of doing this with english subtitles. May be really fun!

 

[TriniTrin]

That face... it stares into my soul...

"well, that surprised me!"

 

[tazz3]

Is this a ps4 xbone1 game only?? Looks good

 

[Gaffercake]

"well, that surprised me!"

Hahaha

 

[krameriffic]

here is some info from some magazines



it looks and sounnds like it could be the best in the series, i hope they bring the goods.

I wonder if they can actually make the game difficult through gameplay mechanics rather than enforcing arbitrary insta-fail conditions.

Still looks like AssCreed. Still blows my mind that people can watch it and forget that it still looks exactly like the last 5 AssCreed games.

 

[Iscariot]

If they haven't updated the combat and transversal mechanics it's going to feel like a drag regardless of the graphics.

 

[Yoday]

Interesting, so it sounds like the Templars are going to be portrayed as pulling the strings of both political parties and perpetuating the Terror. This could lead to both factions being targets and enemies. I'm still curious to see how far this game is going to go. They could easily have the story parallel to Napoleon's rise and eventual rule. Though I could also see them saving the Napoleonic era for DLC or a sequel game.

 

[Aru]

IMO, if 1 was good enough for you to finish, 4 is worth it. II > Brotherhood > Revelations > IV > I > III.

I will wait for a sale then. < 10€

 

[rockman zx]

They have.

 

[jay23]

Only interested because of the 4 player coop

 

[KorrZ]

Looks great. Assassin's Creed has always been one of my favorite series just from the great historical settings alone. This French Revolution setting has me seriously excited...

 

[Ragav]

They have.

like..?

Tone it down? Nah, we going all out.

 

[unempLLOYD]

The final build will never look this good.

 

[UrbanRats]

Tone it down? Nah, we going all out.

Seems like the same stuff you had in AC2, more or less, it's just all on the screen, for some reason, instead of the map screen.

 

[icespide]

it might

 

[FloweryMarston]

Tone it down? Nah, we going all out.

these just looks icons for shops/missions. not collectables.

It's probably not implemented yet. AC3 had facial reactions on the NPCs.

 

[bigboss370]

love the big architecture, love the brand new parkour animations. First assassins game i've been looking forward to since AC2

 

[Stone Ocean]

these just looks icons for shops/missions. not collectables.

Yeah, that is probably an alternative to the minimap or something.

 

[Pyrrhus]

So I think I read they're going to do something along the lines of the Homestead minigame in AC3? That was a really great idea, really badly executed. If they can give it another go and have good interface design and an enjoyable, actually rewarding gameplay loop it could add a lot of substance to the main game.

 

[BumblebeeCody]

We are the female leads at?

 

[NoSkillz187]

Skill trees has me intrigued. Wonder what the stealth skill tree will be like? I always found it strange that stealth was so underused in a game about an Assassin. Anyways I really enjoyed AC4 so I'm definitely grabbing this.

 

[Coolade]

Tone it down? Nah, we going all out.

And typically they give you the options to turn off HUD displays to your liking if I'm not mistaken?
