Forums - Gaming - Ubisoft is just joking with us with AC: Syndicate.... i mean... they must be...

i have watched the fantastic trailer and gameplay video ubisoft have released for AC: Syndicate, and i must say i was stunned. by how stupid and shitty they both were. this must be an april's fool joke by ubisoft that is just a month and have late. here is the Gameplay video and here is the trailer. and then here are my comments on the fantastic gameplay. 

 

- Welcome to a realistic version of london with booming streets and a living city! and where the sun shines all the time and the citizens dont react to shit, specially death, i mean, if somebody is stabbed in the throat right next to you, might as well keep starring at that wall. 

 

- turn on stealth mode with a single press of a button, and instantly take off your cool hat and putt on your hoodie hat. ohh and crouch a bit. 

 

- An Assassins is more than just a cool hoodie and great fighting skills. you are a hunter, you track your prey, you follow it, understand it. you track it down and find it using all sorts of skills you learnt in many years of training to be an Assassin. or you just send a little girl into a territory that even the cops dont dare enter, and make her locate the chick you want to kill, while you sit in the bar and drink bear. 

 

- "carriages will change how you play Assassins Creed, you can traverse the city faster than ever before".  ohh man, i remember when AC games were about cool traversal systems and how you run on top of roof tops quickly and stealthy. now? just ride a fucking carriage. Assassins Creed Syndicate: be a normal person who rides Carriages!

 

- Ride Carriages to run over enemies, just like you ride cars and run over enemies in GTA! 

 

- Use a zipeline like spiderman, because super hero's are cool and we wanted to rip them off, not just GTA. 

 

- but don't worry, Eagle vision is back. its just a Radar that you have. which makes no sense what so ever. 

 

- remember, stealth is a big part of the Assassins Creed game, lets use stealth to kill this enemy by dropping a hanging create above him. of course, its sound crashing wont attract anyone. 

 

- look at our very advanced AI, we are holding some dude at gun point, however i am frozen and fixated on that hostage. i will not move even if i hear the scream of my ally being stabbed, or sense his killer bumping into me, i mean why would i? i cant see him, he is crouching and is in "stealth mode". (i mean come on, minute 5:10 is just a joke.... he bumps into him before he kills him and that dude just doesnt even react)

 

- here is the stronghold leader, lets try to take him out with stealth. *throws magic hallucinating dart that explodes all over the place. runs at strong hold leader like a mad man and starts a fist fight while  my Ally flat out shoots him with a gun*

 

- Assassins Creed Syndicate is full of action, have high speed chase sequences in carriages that arent really fast at all! but dont worry we will add a shit ton of blur to the scene to try make it feel like its fast. 

 

- you are the master assassin jacob, the master of stealth. where you feel right at home having gang fist fights in the middle of the streets. 

 

- the assassins creed is a creed of secrecy. where you are a shadow, a ghost. your existence is unknown. you right the wrong in the world in secrecy. stealthy killing those who abuse power. and after beating the shit out of another gang in a fist fight, reveal your name to the entire crowed that you go ahead of force  to work for you and your sister, who you also reveal her name.

in the two videos they havent shown one bit that indicates that there is. 

Edit: wait, there is a shot or two in the trailer with rain. 



Im not a fan of AC, but I have to admit, its probably the franchise that has the most realistic and just living breathing worlds.



Look on the bright side, neither Sony or MS will be wasting 9 minutes of the conference with this gameplay walkthrough

You're being pedantic. Annualising the franchise is the best thing that could have happened to it.

In what way? (Except for making Ubisoft a ton of cash of course)



lol that really was a cringeworthy presentation
Oh well, not like I really cared much anyway



Well the AI definitely looked terrible in that demo, hope this game won't find its way into Sonys E3 conference but I fear it will.

Way to many Assassin Creed games out there to be called Annualising. Ubi giving a new term for the word milking.

I would love if they would try to make something new once in a while thats not open world  ( and around ass creed mechanics )
