Assassin's Creed Mirage: A Return to the Roots

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the development of Assassin's Creed Mirage and discover how the development team created an experience that pays tribute to the beginnings of Assassin's Creed by revisiting its core pillars: parkour, stealth and assassinations.

This looks cool. I've platinumed every single Assassin's Creed even if I really disliked some of them LOL. At least this one is looking good and it won't be 70+ hours to platinum this time. Looks like a nice chill 30 hour Plat maybe. I like the focus is on more stealth than action.

[EvertonFC]

You plat a game if "you really disliked some of them"
🤣😂

[potatoseal]

Yes actually. I found out i dsiliked it after about 20 hours or got bored of it, but I wanted that Platinum, so I kept going.

I was really looking forward to this, I thought it was going to separate its self from the other games so people who fell out of love with the series with Origins could get back into it but apparently the main guy was featured in Valhalla. It will obviously reference it and the like if it’s the same guy or his ancestor

Kind of a shame, I’ll probably get it when it’s super cheap

[potatoseal]

It's before he was in Valhalla. So in regards to the setting of the game, how can they reference something that hasn't happened yet?

[-Foxtrot]

Well first of all we don’t know how the structure will go, it’s AC, going back and forth is it’s thing

Secondly what about references they could add that would make you think “Ohhhh that’s when in Valhalla he…” or “That was a foreshadowing to when he does X later on” etc

When I first saw the game, I did not know what was missing, but it just did not have the feeling of order assassin‘s creed games. It felt like something was missing, even though it had a fresh coat of paint.

Not sure how to explain but just felt like something of a fan made project

[Inverno]

Wonder how much it'll be like the og games rather than the next step people waited for such a long time for. They were banking on nostalgia in this video showing off all the old school assassinatios, and talking about how it's more like AC2, but people stopped liking the series cause it kept more of the same. Are we really going to buy this based off nostalgia? Cause they'll just go back to milking this formula again.

[Mr_cheese]

My thoughts as well. The series seems to have gone stagnant with that a great deal changing beyond the setting.

[SyntheticForm]

I didn't see anything exciting here - not at all. Like everything, we have to wait and see, but I'm certainly not pumped or even intrigued, really.

[Escamotage]

Same. I was hoping the gameplay mechanics would be a refresh and polish of the old AC games. But all I'm seeing is recycled animation and choppy frame rate like it was made for PS3. I find this all to be worrying.

[lucian229]

and it looks JUST as boring as the old ones. Once you beat AC2 the formula is dull and boring

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

We'll never get another Unity.

[DaleCooper]

My favorite AC game. I also really enjoyed the co-op too.

[P_Bomb]

Retro Creed in a modern skin? Works for me.

[Ninver]

Og AC with a modern uptake and non atrocious frame rate? They've got my attention.

[raWfodog]

I believe that I'm in a very small minority of gamers that enjoyed both the old and new AC games. I know people have their preferences but I somehow managed to not get hung up on the changes like so many others. Probably because I'm primarily an RPG/Action Adventure fan and I loved the huge, open worlds that the latest games introduced. But I'm also looking forward to this game as well as it makes a 'return to the roots'.

Edit: I'm intrigued by the new mechanic where your eagle can now be shot down by enemy players, thus hindering your recon ability. It appears that it will add more challenge to your approach where you can no longer spam an eye in the sky.

[Demetrius]

Hopefully they don't hold back and it don't feel rushed, Ubisoft got what it takes to make good games but they keep holding back then rushing smh

[Chocoburger]

They're trying to win back people like me, the ones who were fans of the earlier games, but got sick of Ubicrap's terrible business practices of intentionally making their games filler junk in order to increase player retention. The goal of course was to coax dummy gamers into spending additional currency on their garbage micro-trash-actions.

Yes, the micros could be avoided, but the boring slog game design, the pointless go-nowhere plot, and the stale, unrewarding combat mechanics could not be avoided.

No Ubicrap, you won't be getting my money anymore. You ruined this series (which was originally planned to be only 3 games by Patrice Desilets), the overarching story is just spinning its wheels, not doing anything interesting, also knowingly releasing buggy, unfinished games as well, because you don't care about polishing your games properly. You got too damn greedy for your own good. And the only way to teach you a lesson is to not give you my money anymore, a lesson, you shall never learn anyway.

Keep your filler junk for the dumb masses who don't know any better.

[LucidIllusion]

Might try it since Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla ruined the series for me.
