Fire has destroyed parts of the beloved Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris recently, and a unsung hero has emerged in the name of Assassin's Creed Unity.

That's just incredible. It's quite amazing how far games have come when you see something like this.

Palitera1834d ago

Is there any source for this or is it just made up ego massage?

Palitera1834d ago

Yeah, nothing false. Still bullshit taken out of proportion.

Watch Dogs could be useful to solving criminality all around the world as well.
Warcraft 3 could be useful to stop civil war.
No Man’s Sky could be useful in a trip to other galaxies.

AnotherGamer1834d ago

I think you're exaggerating and missing the point of this article.

Palitera1834d ago

I'm talking exactly about the exaggeration of the people who are posting this everywhere as if there was any hint that AC's models were to be used. From FB's feed, to Reddit's frontpage, to bad gaming "journalism" sites, and now on N4G.

rainslacker1834d ago

The Notre Dame cathedral has been extensively modeled and photographed long before video games were ever a thing. I have a feeling that they wouldn't be using ubisoft's rendition if they plan on recreating it as it originally was, as they'll have much more comprehensive resources available to them.

Sirk7x1833d ago (Edited 1833d ago )

It's saying that Ubisoft made a pretty accurate 3D model of the church, which could very well help with reconstruction. Could be a great reference tool for architects, as Ubi spent two years working on it.

it is crazy that they would even think of using the game as a starting pointing. wow r some ppl here toxic. something good comes from the game n they shit on it

frostypants1834d ago

Nobody is toxic. The fact is they AREN'T using the game as a starting point. This article is silly.

Seraphim1834d ago

I read an article last night regarding the actual mapping of Notre Dame that took place several years ago by a art historian. It's accurate w/in a MM. That along with blueprints from additional work to the Cathedral are likely what will be used to actually recreate the ceiling.

It's crazy how recent the mapping took place and then for this to happen. However, like monuments across the World these world treasures don't get the care and maintenance they need. According the art historian who actually did the mapping even the outside is crumbling and in need of repair.

I'm not sure if this was the article I read or not but a quick google search pulled this and other articles up

So itll be easier to Parkour after irs rebuilt with convenient Ledges

mafiabrett1834d ago

This made me so happy when I heard it, Notre Dame is one of the most beautiful churches of the Medieval world along with Hagia Sophia, St Peter's Apostolic Church, and the Cologne Cathedral. And to add that video games can help rebuild it thanks to laser scans the developers did a few years ago to make it as real as possible is amazing. Another reason why Gaming is a art form and should never ever be censored.

JackBNimble1834d ago

This has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
Do you think Notre Dame has never been documented in every detail other then in AC ?
No one is ever going to consider rebuilding Notre Dame after a video game .

mch2011uk1834d ago

Well let's just hope the finished Notre-Dame Cathedral will be better than the "finished" Assassin's Creed Unity.

Marcello1834d ago

Yea the new Notre-Dame will be full of bugs. Crash on opening day etc :D

Al_Simmons1834d ago

Unity is the most graphically astonishing assassins creed game to date. No? Link me

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

andy8542d ago (Edited 42d 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

Furesis520d 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.

DarXyde520d 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.

YourMommySpoils520d ago

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

Knightofelemia521d 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.

RaidenBlack520d ago

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

ToddlerBrain520d 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.

staticall520d 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.

anast520d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
