Assassin's Creed Shadows: Official Cinematic World Premiere Trailer

Assassin's Creed Codename Red becomes Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Even if it's just CGI, Ubisoft know how to make good trailers. I'll give them that. Every Assassin's Creed trailer I've seen was sick.

They contract a 3D animation studio, Platige Image, for the trailers. They make plenty of good trailers for many video game companies.

Ubisoft = good trailers and bad games

[Lexreborn2]

You felt that way about Valhalla, odyssey and far cry 6?

[Redgrave]

ya

[--Onilink--]

I liked odyssey, was bored out of my mind but finished Valhalla and couldnt even get past a couple of hours of FC6, so yeah, probably not the best examples to bring out.

I think the last Ubi game I thoroughly enjoyed was Immortals Fenyx Rising (such a horrible name…). It had quite a lot of variety in its gameplay (still some Ubi bloat but mostly acceptable)

Even with its DLCs, it was an interesting approach for the most part (a focus on endgame puzzle dungeons, a completely new gameplay style and the more bland one was the Chinese mythology one, though still enjoyable)

Still have to try out the new PoP though, that one looks interesting too (same with the one made by the Dead Cells dev)

Might give Avatar a chance when its heavily discounted purely because of the overkill mode on PC that is supposed to be gorgeous

Onilink I think you’re confusing a game you aren’t interested in as a bad game in general. I played all 3 and they were good games even though they weren’t my cup of tea, immortal fennix didn’t do anything for me but if you add that in there you still can keep labeling good games they have been making.

If anything they make good games they just have some bad practices that aren’t that appealing. None of their games are unplayable and cater to their fans well. Even if I’m not particularly one of them

[--Onilink--]

I was interested in those AC games and in FC6, I have played every one of their previous titles.

Both Valhalla and FC6 suffered from an extreme amount of bloat that has become typical of almost all Ubi games for quite a few years already.

I never said they were bad or terrible games, I dont think they are good either. Games are ultimately meant to be fun/entertaining, so one of the worst sins a game can commit is to be boring.

Thats why there are plenty of 60-70 games that people still enjoy immensely, despite probably having more flaws than a totally safe by design game like AC Valhalla.

The issue with those games is that its practically bursting by the seams the whole design by checklist/commitee feel, the need to make the world bigger just for the marketing points, the terrible side quests, the useless collectibles, the repetitive gameplay to extend the duration (again for the marketing points)

A game like Immortals, while maybe not for everyone (and despite people calling it a BotW clone) had tons of variety in its gameplay and design.
The new PoP took a whole new approach to the standard Ubi template

FC6 and AC Valhalla were notable downgrades compared to previous titles, and they are not the only series to experience that (WD2 > Legion, GR Wildlands > Breakpoint, etc)

I tend to agree I don't think any of those are good games they are gaming junk food predictable and formulaic in their own ways.

[Lexreborn2]

@profchaos

Nothing wrong with having games you are familiar with and meet your expectations. Musuo games hit that for me more often than not. Some are formulaic and don’t jump into them, others I grind for 100s of hours.

But again I don’t believe there are any bad Ubisoft games especially off the merit of your perception of bloat and boredom. That assassins creed game may be someone’s first and it’s amazing expansive and the best thing they have seen to date.

For an older gamer like me, it may not cater to my needs when I play as when I played Origins I loved it but I burnt out fast in it. That didn’t stop me from finding what they made beautiful and a worth while time sync.

I also thought odyssey was fun until I burnt out on that too. But what I played I enjoyed, I have friends who sink hundreds of hours into them and haven’t gotten tired of a single entry. And I commend them for knowing what they like.

To say these franchise which continue to sale like crazy to the people who love them are bad is wild to me. It’s like people telling me FF is terrible even though they sell millions of copies and have a clear fan base.

We really just need to stop shitting where we sleep and gaming. Because the inconsistency will just have the executives scrambling trying to cater to be hated again and again and again

[Killa78]

Looks great!

Hopefully it's more semi-open world focussing on content rather than size.

[TheColbertinator]

That side blade 😅

[Hofstaderman]

Reminds me of Connors hidden blade....

[Escamotage]

I like that it's implying dual protagonists have different play styles for once.

But other than that, if it's just rehashed gameplay mechanics from Odyssey/Origins/Valhalla or Mirage, it's gonna be a bargain bin purchase from me.

[ZeekQuattro]

Best to wait a month or two anyway. AC games go on sale quick.

[Profchaos]

Yeah this game is going to have a huge battle pass and lootbox push according to all leaks so they will probably sell it cheap and bombard you with in game purchases.

Aka far cry new dawn

[ROCKY28]

UBI - IS - SOFT !

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

I must be getting old.

[Demetrius]

Games can look this good but it's funny how they don't aim for cutscene quality in most titles gameplay and animation even tho the ps5 and series x could handle it mfs not even trying this gen with the power of these consoles lmao

[Aussiesummer]

From the screenshots they did show it looks a bit meh graphically, I expected more being "next gen only" and all that.
