Assassin's Creed: Syndicate leaks early, PS4 impressions not... great.

I am going to say that the investors say 'no'.
that would be great, thanks.
I've seen a few more positive impressions than that, however. Still, it's appreciated.

Are they in another thread? I did a search and only found one with impressions from GAFers that have the game.

I truly don't understand what is going on with Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed anymore. Are they seriously trying to sink themselves ?
If there is one thing for sure, these games prices drop like a fucking rock.
I mean, fuck. Ebgames Canada is literally giving unity away for free if you buy syndicate.

Sniff, sniff. Smell that? I smell BULLSHIT. I know three other fellow reviewers I've chatted with about the game and I can't speak for their final review, but I'll say this. All are having a better time with this then Unity. See you all on review day!

Here's a guy who's actually played the game, people. Take a good read before outraging.

IIRC they're in two threads - the 40 mins video one, and the 'Assassins Creed Syndicate' titled one

Am I the only one that feels like Unity wasn't a crazy graphical achievement?
Assassin Creed has always been very samey in the graphical output. There's so many games that eclipse it that I don't feel it for that statement.
Other than that, I was expecting an AssCreed game and from the impressions, that's what it sounds like. I'm staying away from this day 1 as well. This is the third Asscreed that I haven't purchased day 1. Sad how the franchise has declined in my heart.

I shall just wait for reviews! They are dropping tomorrow right?
I love my annual AC fix, and I actually really enjoyed Unity after the gigantic patches when I finally got around to finishing it in the summer. By all accounts, this looks way better than Unity. The addition of Evie's stealth build vs. Jacob's brawler style has me intrigued. I'll probably wait for Black Friday for a price cut but I'm excited about it!

I don't hate ac, but I also wouldn't say I love it. I'm fully confident in saying that this game will be your average ac game: does some neat tricks, but nothing revolutionary. Just good enough to keep the fans entertained till next year, will still keep selling as per usual. Not offensively bad, but not ground-breaking.

tomorrow at 7 AM EST I believe
I think it's time for them to stop making this series yearly and actually polish them before release every year or so...plus other things that they can improve on for these games from gameplay to tech.

Anita is releasing her review tomorrow. I can't wait to see what she thinks of Evie, seeing as this is the first time a mainline game has had a female protagonist! Perched tbh.

Long story short,...one person has a lot of negatives, another person is quite happy with it. When will the reviews hit?
It should be interesting at least to find out if the game is even close to being such a mess as Unity was.

Wait, this game isn't out yet? I saw it for sale at EB Games yesterday (NZ).

I thought unity was ok but it just was completely unremarkable from a gameplay perspective.
It's like ordering middling chinese food at this point. You could, but it's probably overpriced, unhealthy, and you won't feel satisfied afterwards.
I will probably still pick it up at $20 or so just to run through the story.

Ever since the series began, the one place I always wanted it to be set was Victorian England. But after so many monotonous installments & Unity's launch state, when England finally comes around I refuse to buy it for the first time ever. Kind of ironic in its own way.
Maybe i'll buy it when it's cheap just to tour Victorian London. The city design is always fantastic in AC.

Yeah, that must be it. It's not like Black Flag, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry 4 all have resolution advantages on PS4 or anything, oh wait...
GPU isn't everything, and this engine is clearly CPU and memory intensive. If they have run into a memory bottleneck due to the scale of the city then they aren't going to be able to increase the resolution on either platform without scaling back in some way. Both consoles have the same amount of RAM, and for all we know the XB1 could have more available for games at this point.
Haha yup. Opinions. I'll pick it up as I love their worlds. To each their own though.
This isn't an economic forum. It's a gaming forum. Who the fuck cares about the investors on a gaming enthusiast forum?

True!
I'm not particularly excited about Syndicate. I still need to finish Unity and i just can't seem to really get into that game, and right now Witcher 3 is taking up that time anyway and i'd say...that's game time much better spent. I really can't care much for another AC with Halo 5, Fallout 4, Rise of the TR and Batflefront around the corner.
Ubi should stop making these for a while and bring us a new PoP.
It is necessary. For avoid discussion.

Ubisoft needs to give Assassins Creed a break for a few years.

Well, I'll check it out at half-price. A little disappointed in the folks dropping hints saying this will will surprise us in comparison to unity.
Looks ready to ship.

It is ok, they can fix it with 2 more patches.
I get that, but in the context of this thread investors mean nothing. This is a thread about early impressions, not Ubisoft stock performance.
Having played the post-patch game on PS4, it seems a whole lot less buggy than Unity, which I played about four or five months after release. Framerate is well ahead of Unity.
Whether or not you'll like the game seems mostly dependent on how you feel about the setting. I think most people who buy the games enjoy the historical setting and open world. If you want a game with a great story or characters, this is not it.

As an enthusiast I care about all aspects of gaming, including why large publishers decide to continue series or not. Speak for yourself not for the forum.

Shocker, reviewers continuing the trend of giving Assassins Creed games unreasonably high scores.
Check Unity's metacritic.
I love that the character happened to nope right out of the world just as they hit Southwark.

That video could very easily be faked. I mean humans can't fly so it probably is fake.
