With Assassin’s Creed Unity Ubisoft Montreal is rethinking the series’ fundamentals | Postmedia

Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the first video games built from the ground up for the PlayStation 4/Xbox One, and from a purely visual standpoint this is very apparent.

I'm still on the fence about this game despite how positive my story might sound. I'm all about naval combat and Unity's lack of any ship fighting has me bummed.

MRMagoo1233959d ago

I am torn with the naval stuff because black flags sea battles and stuff where super fun along with those elite ships you had to kill, but AC3s naval section was the worst part of a really bad game imo.

I think this game will be a wait and see for me but I do have it on pre order just in case.

Lwhit63959d ago

I disliked the naval side because I'm playing an ASSASSINS game.
Killing 30 guards with counter kills and pistols on an exploding ship just felt wrong to me. I should be sneaking around and staying away from open combat (which is what I've seen Unity to be)

porkChop3959d ago

The naval combat was great, but it doesn't really suit an Assassin's Creed game. However, now that Ubisoft has some experience in that area, and they've seen that people do like that sort of gameplay, maybe Ubisoft will consider creating a new Pirate-specific IP.

Elit3Nick3959d ago

I seem to recall that they had a poll asking if people wanted them to have pirate game connected to AC or a completely new universe, I hope for the latter, since that could allow more creative freedom.

MRMagoo1233959d ago

What they need to do is buy sid miers pirates ip and make that in the way they did black flag, a pirate sim would be a definite day one for me.

Is it strange that I'm more excited for Rogue?

equal_youth3959d ago

from a single player aspect i feel the same but unity has the mp me and my friends been waiting for a long time. so maybe i will get rogue but i have to consider that it will eventually launch on current gen aka ps4/x1 as well so its wait and see for me.

Kurisu3959d ago

It's not strange, it's down to personal opinion. Everyone has one, some people just can't accept it =p

Check this footage out, can't wait for this game.

Thanks for posting this link!

That part where he's scaling the inside of the Notre Dame just gave me a flashback to AC2.
My hype for this game is unreal

Milked more than COD.. Went sour after the 2nd game.

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

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

Five small but brilliant maps in games

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

Furesis937d 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.

DarXyde937d 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.

YourMommySpoils937d ago

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

Knightofelemia938d 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.

RaidenBlack937d ago

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

ToddlerBrain937d 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.

staticall937d 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.

anast937d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
