I just finished playing the Assassins Creed multiplayer BETA and I must say I'm impressed. I'm a huge fan of the first two games and have been waiting for this for a very long time. The controls are familiar to veterans of the series but they have been simplified. Assassinations happen with the square button and you don't have any other weapons. Well that and being anonymous. You earn new skills trough leveling up and in the BETA you have access to 20 levels and you can earn a few new abilities and unlock one more character.
Gameplay has clearly been paid attention to as the climbing is much easier and responsive now. The match consist of killing members of other team or cooperative mission. I have only played "deathmatch" and I must say it is very thrilling. The maps are filled with look a likes of the assassins and you need to stay hidden in plain sight or on rooftops and figure out who is your target based on a compass and the actions of the target. It is easy to find your target when they just run around but I faced quite a few who were really hard to find. Also the other members of the other team try to stop the assassins and this of course works the other way around. I'm happy that the concept works but I really wish they add more people to the final game who aren't look a likes because now the streets are filled with only 8 or was it 9 different looking people.
The characters are very personal looking and pleasant to watch. There are a lot of kill animations and they are extremely fluid. The look of the game overall is already polished but I feel like the streets at least in the Rome map lack colors and aren't as nice as in AC2.
For now the gameplay is covered well but I think there will be people who get fed up with the multiplayer after leveling up. I also think that the multiplayer isn't ready because it lacks lot of things for example other people who don't look like assassins and it could use a little more colour.
For me this is a definite buy but this is not a product that I can recommend to all at least not at this stage. It looks promising for now. I was worried the gameplay would suck but it didn't so thats good. In conclusion I'm looking forward for the full game but I have some worries about the multiplayer.
Release date and expected launch time for when the Fallout 4 next-gen update will come out along with how to download.
This is a huge release being treated like a patch update but really it’s a monster in disguise…Bethesda being Bethesda, no actual release times or pre load available or file size info, sigh. All that said, clearing space on the SSD and putting the PS5 in rest mode while at work so I can play later, fully expecting snail download speeds as millions bang on their servers.
It just popped up on the UK PSN store as a native PS5 download of 56 gigs. I had the PS4 version installed in case it just patched that but it is it's own download.
Not sure if that download includes the DLC's though which I own, think it's just the base game. At the moment there's no separate PS5 DLC download options. But might just take a bit for it to be added.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Overall, I think Stitch is an ultra quaint title that oozes warmth and welcome in gameplay and visual presentation, and is just such a decompression tool after a long day doing literally anything. It gives me such joy and relaxation to bring together the numbers and colors until I’ve made a bicycle or a nutcracker or whatever. I’ll do Christmas puzzles in April, it’s fine and the game doesn’t judge me. Unlock more and more pieces, don’t wait for power ups or villains because there are none, and just keep making yourself happy. If games are art, this one is a sweater my mom made for me, and I’m wearing it to keep out any and all chilly elements. But, just like mom, I’ll only pretend to listen."
I played the beta too and it's good, but I agree with your complaints. It's fun, but there are some flaws.
I want the beta....why only Europe!!!!!
I agree with you...
Thanks for sharing this article, serve as lesson.
