I wish unity was last gen and we got this on xb1/ps4 instead

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I really like what I see and can't wait to play this

Spoiler

once it comes to PS4

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

I wish unity was last gen and we got this on xb1/ps4 instead

Luckily Rogue will be (maybe) coming to current gen next yr.

 

[Toa TAK]

Female composer? :O

But not the first! Winfred Phillips did the excellent Liberation score.

Its just like AC2 music. looks like they meshed together extra content from every lastgen game and made a new one.

And i am ok with that if its it anything like AC4

On Amazon the soundtrack samples are there and I really like what I hear. I know it'll be good. Or better than Unity.

 

[HardRojo]

Music from AC2.
Assets from AC3 and AC4.

Rogue seems like the better package so far.

 

[SJRB]

This once again proves that Templars > Assassins.

Watching this, how can anyone sympathize with that band of thugs?

 

[keltickennedy]

There should be a prompt at the start of all these games....

"Hey you played previous Assassin's Creed Games?"

-Yes or No

Answering yes will bypass the fucking slow first hour of the game.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Did anybody notice that he has about 45 minutes of Unity gameplay on his channel?

It's just a compilation of all the leaked ps4 footage so far.

 

[Gaffercake]

Female composer? :O

Yep, her name is Elitsa Alexandrova

Here's Rogue's main theme (that also plays in the main menu): http://youtu.be/6Rhe-NC3TXM

The beginning is a variation of Ezio's Family from AC2. AC Unity also uses cues from Ezio's Family in its OST.

 

[matrixman92]

the only additional content for this game is that one preorder mission right?

 

[Kanhir]

I was hoping they'd brushed up Shay's godawful accent before release. But nope, it's actually worse in the full game.

At least Liam sounds halfway convincing.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Do they really have to put those tutorials in every game?

If they do, at least make them optional. There's literally no reasons to force people to do them yet again.

I realized this, too! It's just more proof that Kyd was THE composer for this series.

There should be a prompt at the start of all these games....

"Hey you played previous Assassin's Creed Games?"

-Yes or No

Answering yes will bypass the fucking slow three hours of the game.

Fixed that for ya. Assassins Creed 2 still has the best pacing and unlock system in the series. At least the narrative in 2&3 helped drive the gameplay, AC Brotherhood is the worse when it comes to the game fully unlocking.

 

[Gaffercake]

He needs to return, he helped shape the series and gave it the most memorable, unique tone and atmosphere, his AC soundtracks are some of the best in video games.

The Unity composer said they brought back the AC2 theme to "represent the Assassin Brotherbood"

 

[sabertoothzombie]

I really liked Black Flag, so I have no problem paying full price for Black Flag 2 (Rogue)

 

[keltickennedy]

Yep. I was being generous.

 

[danthefan]

The main character's accent is so horrible that I don't think I can buy this game.

Will wait for the inevitable next gen remaster. Pretty interesting how

Spoiler

Assassin's Creed Unity's modern day is about the assassins yet Assassin's Creed Rogue continues the abstergo employee plot.

EDITamn that was fast. ._. No mirror either.

Well, Rogue is a direct followup to Assassin's Creed IV, so that part makes sense.

I agree. "Access the Animus" I still consider to be the series' overarching theme. It still fits the franchise.

 

[kudoboi]

Thanks for this, I'm definitely interested in Rogue, hoping for a PC/current-gen version soon.

The story and characters look really promising but yeah, that modern day section was ehhh.

its coming to PC.

 

[Ahasverus]

Eeh it doesn't look that much varied. The first mission used to be the one where games showed their trick in a natural manner, this just feels like mission #324329876 from AC3.

 

[danthefan]

I actually like it.

It's just not what Irish people sound like. It's what non-Irish people trying to sound Irish sound like.

 

[CorrisD]

Awesome menu music, I'll give it that. The setting interests me much more than Unity but the large amount of recycled assets is a turnoff.

Give me soundtrack now. ;_;

It's already better than the two volumes for Unity.

Music is from Assassins creed 2 right ?

First thing I noticed was the menu music, AC2/Brotherhood/Revelations I found to have better music that any of the other titles. I kinda wish that the Ezio Family theme in some form had become a sort of theme of the whole series rather than just the Ezio Trilogy, beautiful piece of music. Hopefully the Rogue soundtrack doesn't take too long to come out, if it follows the title track and is a mix of previous pieces with the pirate theme it could be awesome.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Slow start looks like.
I still feel full-up on my AC after Black Flag. Don't think I'll bother with either of the two out this year, but Rogue in particular as it looks like an expansion. Ubi might get my money for Far Cry 4 though.

I dunno. I would rather the theme be confined to the Ezio Trilogy. It's his theme, you know?

Plus I'm tired of the series living in his shadow.

 

[SSWerwolf777]

The director from AC3 is a right cheeky bastard saying feudal japan might feel familiar, knowing this game is coming out.

 

[Muffdraul]

After replaying and actually enjoying AC3 over the last couple weeks, I'm starting to become at least slightly interested in Rogue. But I'm just not there yet. The whole Kenway storyline is by far my least favorite in the series. I can wait for the current gen remaster. For me it's all about Unity right now.

 

[keltickennedy]

The director from AC3 is a right cheeky bastard saying feudal japan might feel familiar, knowing this game is coming out.

In fairness he said that back when they were developing AC3.

 

[MYeager]

Spoiler

Yes, it is.

Not just the same month, but on the same day. >.>

With the Americas Collection released just recently and an iPAD game either just released or to be released shortly. With Far Cry 4 right around the corner. Ubisoft is their own biggest competition for shelf space.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Can someone explain me - Will this games gameplay systems be like AC3 or AC4?


I was under the impression that this would have the quality and density of AC4, but the setting is AC3?
I'm asking because Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag on PC looks very impressive all cranked up. I was hoping to get more scallywagging sailing goodness and collecting some songs for me mates with nice graphics!


I really like Assassins Creed. I think this franchise is worth more than the sum of its parts. When you take a step back and look at it from a whole, I think it's really cool.

 

[KingJolly]

The music from AC2 , the superior gameplay of AC4, and a intersting storyline . We got ourselves are hidden gem

 

[Kanhir]

The main character's accent is so horrible that I don't think I can buy this game.

I'm still going to buy it (when it comes out on PC), but I think I'm going to change the audio language. Listening to everyone speak German/Italian/whatever is still better than sitting through Shay's Oirish.

 

[JohnGrimm]

Rogue is bringing back the homestead? Oh god. I want it.

 

[SSWerwolf777]

In fairness he said that back when they were developing AC3.

Very true!

Now I have to sympathize with the guy.. he went off to Far Cry 4 and ubi made his statement shitty out of context

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Ohh god from that first half hour;

Spoiler

Seeing young Achillis and Adewale hugging as brothers. Many feels. Cant wait to hear more about their exploits

 

[Trigonometrize.]

I'll wait for it to come to PS4

Spoiler

so I can buy it at that point super cheap for PS3

 

[Messiek]

Well , that was interesting. I won't buy it for now, but will certainly play it one day.

 

[KojiKnight]

If it's got the traditional AssCreed multiplayer I'm in for it... unless Unity does as well, but it sounds like they wanted to push co-op more than that... Really, I only like the multiplayer.

(edit) Watching the video, you can certainly see where most of the AC budget went, and it certainly wasn't here... Voice acting/voice directing seems to have been hit hardest.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Spoiler

Old looking Ade and young looking Achilles! Nice

 

[sangreal]

Do they really have to put those tutorials in every game?

If they do, at least make them optional. There's literally no reasons to force people to do them yet again.

yeah, it's ridiculous and I feel like it gets longer every year

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Rogue is bringing back the homestead? Oh god. I want it.

Hopefully without the stupid "Encyclopedia of the Common Man" type achievements and sims style stuff.

 

[mgs2master2]

well I might not be able to wait til the eventual current/next gen version. I may just bite the bullet here for the b2g1 from target next week with this.

 

[S0N0S]

That intro music makes me miss Jesper Kyd doing the AC soundtrack. His music was as critical to the character and atmosphere of the first games as the visuals.

 

[Ahasverus]

Rogue is bringing back the homestead? Oh god. I want it.

I'm not sure it's explorable. It might be a just like the first GTA V mission.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Not just the same month, but on the same day. >.>

But...Why?
Ah screw it, I'm never going to catch up to this franchise, lol. Next they'll do quarterly releases.

 

[Ahasverus]

There are videos in youtube showing the HORRIBLE out of sync and cut audio during conversations, there is also lots of pop in.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Survived the Ubi ninjas. Uploading now.

 

[SJRB]

Yup, legendary composer. Especially his modern-day stuff really clicks with me, Apple Chamber from the Brotherhood soundtrack is in my playlist ever since the game first released.

Since Ubi dumped him the soundtracks have been nowhere near as good.
