Only recently got into the Assassins Creed world with the last 2 games but so glad i did Unity will definitely be added to the collection looks great.

Abriael3558d ago

Yeah. I will not lie. When they released Assassin's Creed III the franchise pretty much fell out of grace for me, mostly because I really disliked connor (too brooding and whiny). Black Flag redeemed it for me, and I have high hopes for Unity.

cfc783558d ago

Yeah i heard that a'lot about Assassins Creed 3 i guess if you've been there from the beginning a big change in character can do that to a game series for me though it was the start so i had nothing to compare it with just glad i gave it ago really looking forward to the rest of the series now.

LOGICWINS3558d ago

Black Flag is an incredible game. Was playing through it for the second time to today. Very excited for Unity. I'm not really sure if I will like the online part of the game, but thats okay. The meaty 100 hour long campaign will be worth my $60.

BX813558d ago

@ logic
For me the online portion is lame. My first real taste of AC was part III, I really liked that game and black flag was great as well. I'm stoked for unity.

iamnsuperman3558d ago

Blag flag, to me, feels like a half assed pirate game and a half assed Assassin's Creed game rubbed together. I am currently playing it (for the first time). I am less concerned how they will take the modern day story arch but the game, to me, leaves a lot to be desired and I am going to wait to see what kind of reaction unity gets before jumping on board

LonDonE3557d ago

@cfc78
dude go back and play Assassins creed 2! EZIO is AWESOME! AC2 was by far the best AC game and had the best story! in fact play through the ezio trilogy or at the very least watch the movie of it online on you tube their are like massive compilations of the ezio trilogy like a movie!

I promise you wont regret it!!!!!

thexmanone3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

Wow you can tell that it is in 720P from that video. You are good. Enjoy your Full HD version on your PS4.

Jonny5isalive3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

I only played the first 3 but will be playing black flag and this one when I get a ps4. I like that they have huge crowds now. I liked to see all the people running away at the end, thats awesome.

Rimeskeem3558d ago

It looks very promising so far.

gamerfan09093558d ago

Man the graphics look so damn good.

starchild3558d ago

Yeah, and apparently this is the XB1 version. It looks fantastic. I can't wait to see what the Nvidia GameWorks features are going to be for the PC version. Just TXAA alone makes a huge difference for me. http://www.geforce.com/what...

AngelicIceDiamond3557d ago

@careful Star people don't like that PC talk around here.

Consoles 4ever lol J/K

jobboy3557d ago

pc demo running with xbox pads..i expect that from ubisoft

Nekroo913558d ago

Yes it is. They just changed one kill animation, but they did the same with 3 videos already. And the guy isnt even playing

bjmartynhak3558d ago

Looks like AC all right.

Guys, I'm burned out from AC since the very beginning of Brotherhood, haven't beaten it, nor Revelation, ACIII or Black Flag. Does Unity look like a possible entry to come back?

Deividas3558d ago

Um...Black Flag should have been your entry to come back, that game was just great.

iamnsuperman3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

It is a crap Assassin's Creed game though. Very little of it is Assassin's Creed (it is a game set in that universe; nothing more nothing less). So it hard to say it is a comeback title when very little of it is Assassin's Creed

Deividas3558d ago

@iamnsuperman

So...people bitch that AC is getting stale and repetitive, and then when Ubisoft goes out and puts a different take on the series and tries to be different, they bitch that its not the same as the rest of the series....hmmm tough crowd

starchild3558d ago

You haters can't seem to get your story straight. I hear lots of people saying "oh it's just the same old boring crap, nothing new", but... supposedly it's not an Assassin's Creed game. Huh?

How does that work? How can some people say it hasn't changed, but others say that it's so different to the point of not even being an AC game?

I think both positions are silly. The game has changed (in fact every entry in the series has seen evolution and advancements in the core mechanics) but the game is also clearly still an Assassin's Creed game in terms of the gameplay, structure, atmosphere and approach to narrative.

The idea is to show the templar/assassin conflict from the viewpoint of an outsider. It's told differently for this reason, but it still deals with the same ideas and overarching plot.

It's still very much an Assassin's Creed game. I think some of you are just looking for any angle you can in which to hate on it.

bjmartynhak3557d ago

So many disagrees. Guys, not everyone is super-fan of your favorite series. I just asked something...

and thanks for the reply Deividas :)

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis519d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde519d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils519d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia519d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack519d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain519d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall519d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast519d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
