Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate - 10 Crucial Things It Must Learn From Unity

WC: Now we know about the new protagonists, some gameplay refinements and an idea of what this year’s city looks like in motion, but what really matters is if the series can return to its former glory. One more colossal balls-up of fan expectation, any off-putting in-game element like micro-transactions or a general sense of gameplay that feels like an early beta model will only reaffirm the right to hold off purchasing anything else in the future.

It is amazing what's available. Blue Dragon. Binary Domain. AVP. Chaos Theory. Lots of gems to be had.

There is no re-start option (that I can find). Since I've already finished the story years ago, I can't re-start it to check the new update.

AC Unity next Please! despite the technical issues it was a good game even though it was too ambitious for PS4 and Xbox One the graphics hold up well. I would love to see it on PS5 and Xbox Series Consoles

Chocoburger223d ago

YES, update Unity to 4K 60! I loved the French revolution setting, I even enjoyed playing CO-OP online, its too bad that they removed it from Syndicate, but the incredibly negative reaction from Unity (mostly because it was rushed out 4 - 6 months too soon), made Ubisoft think we didn't want the mode to come back.

Another vote for AC Unity!

Is Syndicate any good? I own them all since they end up in the bargain bin but I haven’t played one through since Black Flag

Rebel_Scum223d ago

Its one of the better one’s. Would make anyone’s top 7 AC game easily.

Ninver223d ago

That's not saying much. Most of the AC games after 2 are sub par in my opinion.

glennhkboy223d ago

Personally, this is a "Not Bad" grade. The gang warfare part is fun. You should give it a go since you already own it.

Gamingsince1981223d ago

The combat is fun, the setting is great and the characters are pretty good, I'd put it up just below black flag.

jznrpg223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

Thanks to those who replied, I’ll give it a go sometime

andy85223d ago

Give me a new trophy set 😂

Chocoburger223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

If you've read my comments here before, you know damn well that I'm always quick to mock Ubisoft, but in this case, its good news. Glad to see that Syndicate went from being almost broken on PS5 BC, to receiving a free 60 FPS update patch.

While this game did have grind elements, and skill trees, it wasn't exhaustively grindy like the later games would end up being. The London setting was amazing, too, and the soundtrack by Austin Wintory was fantastic. I really liked playing as a brother and sister duo as well.

It was a good game, and the last one in the series I truly enjoyed.

Why are the patch sizes so different between Xbox Series and PlayStation 5? Its a 35 GBs difference.

Patch notes:

Xbox (~31.8 GB)

Xbox Series X
4K resolution at 60 fps
Xbox Series S
1080p resolution at 60 fps

PlayStation (~0.75 GB)

PS5 and PS5 Pro
1080p resolution at 60 fps
4K resolution at 60 fps

Deeeeznuuuts223d ago

31GB more that is pretty substantial isn't it, strange

Chocoburger223d ago

The PS5 Pro patch was only 171 MBs, so its even smaller than Ubisoft's claim of 0.75 GB.

Some people hypothesized that the PlayStation exclusive content (Darwin and Dickens missions) would be coming to Xbox for the first time with the new patch, but it wasn't added. A patch this large is clearly redownloading the entire game all over again, the dev team made that choice for a reason, we just don't know what that reason is.

Underrated that's debatable.

chicken_in_the_corn580d ago

One of the most overrated imo. A big step backwards from Unity.

Relientk77580d ago

I loved Syndicate! I played this game mostly as Evie because of her stealth abilities and loved using a cane sword.
