All hail the insider of gamers - shinobi602


OT - Demo was pretty good. Them cloth physics were great.

 

[Dead]

Looks beautiful.

Ill swallow anything AC they release though. Hype!

 

[Cow Mengde]

same trite, unchallenging gameplay, different theme park

meh

Thank you! Everything just looks like the same wait a few seconds and press a button gameplay.

 

[Bluecondor]

just going back to the basic idea of scouting out a target and assassinating them is realy appealing to me at this point, i hope they deliver

I agree. And - I hope that you have the option to play as up to 4 characters at once in single player (and switch between them). That will make assassinations really enjoyable to set up....

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Scripted like hell.

Generic AC game, for now.

 

[Tugatrix]

Beautiful but for co-op need to be more difficult

 

[Spongebob]

Graphics look really nice.

 

[Windom Earle]

So what are the chances this was Xbox One footage?

 

[RiZ III]

Think I'll finally upgrade to next gen for this. So glad they're taking it back to a European setting.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I was watching that and all I could think of was that thread and realizing that the Ubisoft pipeline really does turn out that Ubisoft Gameplay nonstop. I mean it looked like every previous AC game but with online Coop.

 

[Jb]

Generation of the cloth physics.

 

[Sirolf]

So what are the chances this was Xbox One footage?

PC version for sure...

 

[there]

Generation of the cloth physics.

and head on stick.

 

[TimFL]

Wait... was that campaign Co-Op or some random Co-Op gamemode? Didn't pay that much attention because yet another AC.

If it's campaign Co-Op I'll definitely consider picking it up in the future.

 

[block tower]

AC Black Flag and AC Unity has very Pirates of the Caribbean feel in it's tone and gameplay, i love it. day one for sure.

 

[Myriadis]

hahaha yeah uh the head thing is accurate

It wasn't exactly like that, but yes, there were certainly heads on pikes. The French Revolution was many things, but bloodless was not one of them.

I didn't have any audio watching this at work, but I'm pretty sure this is what those events were attempting to depict: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storming_of_the_Bastille

Oh ok, guess they didn't want us kids to know about it back then

 

[Asd202]

Graphics wise it looked good but gameplay and AI is still shit.

 

[GunBR]

Looks great, but more of the same

I love AC, but is hard to be excited for this one

 

[jett]

It didn't look too bad, but I'll only be truly interested if they make the combat be like AC1: where you need actual timing to combo and and the window to counter isn't braindead easy. Fuck, this franchise never needed on-screen indicators to tell you when to counter. :| People said AC4 was much better than AC3 but it's the same frigging thing where no skill whatsoever is required to play.

 

[TheMan]

good graphics, and co-op looks cool. otherwise, it looks ilke the exact same game i've already played numerous times.

 

[Fractal]

Aside from some of the new climbing animations, can't say I've seen anything too interesting. Doubt we'll get a worthy successor to Black Flag... but there's still Ubisoft conference to see, maybe they show something better.

 

[cackhyena]

I'd like some real stealth thrown in.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

I yawned. The same old tired gameplay in a different suit (that doesn't even feel that different because of the decision to hire British and American voice actors).

Plus, why the fuck would I want to help a mob that goes about decapitating unarmed men and women? Any appeal this game might have had has gone out the window after seeing this trailer.

 

[Ghost23]

It looks fun! If you have three other friends to play with that is.

 

[dancingphlower]

Crouching? OMG. But the fighting mechanics look the same. Eh...

 

[Seanspeed]

That chick had some epic legs.

EDIT: Thinking of the Fable demo, nevermind.

 

[Kurtofan]

Eat the Rich.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Holy shit they have a crouch button and the multiplayer assasinations ! I might need to buy a PS4 soon :0

 

[Hamlet]

Graphic look really nice and the co op looks fun
But doesn't look like it changing anything too much from the previous assassin games

 

[dcx4610]

Looks good. Wish they would tone down the climbing though. It's getting as bad as Uncharted where you can just run up a building or jump around like a monkey.

Climbing should be a challenge and you should have to choose your path like AC1 and 2. That was fun.

 

[m_shortpants]

I want to believe Ubi.

Giving you benefit of doubt because Watch Dawgs was cross gen.

 

[Dysun]

Game looked really nice, probably the best part of this conference so far

 

[Linkstrikesback]

That... was actually pretty good.

Assuming they didn't fake the entire thing as I'm going to assume they did until proved otherwise.

 

[TGO]

Well that was Nextgen, looks fantastic
Take it MS has exclusive content or something?

 

[Broder Salsa]

 

[JB1981]

The amount of NPCs on screen was pretty insane.

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

If it is forced Coop-Only in any way I will cry

 

[Waylon Drums]

"I'll use your head as a piss pot" will probably enter my lexicon after seeing that.

 

[kazebyaka]

Best AC game?

 

[Zoned]

Looks absolutely spectacular (just behind witcher 3)

 

[rockman zx]

Gameplay with commentary directly from UBI.

[Blimblim]

HQ in a few minutes!

 

[MarkV]

On the stream looked very very good, great works for the big team.

 

[Lakitu]

Looks like the Assassin's Creed I've wanted since 2 (minus the co-op). Assassinations are back, hot damn.

 

[leadbelly]

If it is forced Coop-Only in any way I will cry

Well, basically what I meant. Not so much forced coop, but a game that is designed very much to be played coop.

Assassin's Creed is a large story-driven game. Does it really need coop? Will it just get in the way of the main campaign?

I think it will be okay if it isn't part of the main campaign though.

I think what annoys me the most though is that it seems to be an ever increasing trend. Everything needs to be multiplayer, everything needs to have coop. And to be honest, it doesn't always make for a better game. I don't think it made Resident Evil 6 a better game, or Dead Space 3. Of course those are two franchises that were based on survival horror, so it definitely lost something as a result. The point is though, not all games benefit from it.

 

[Carbonox]

Looks fantastic. Visually impressive too.

 

[Kikujiro]

Looks like the same old Assassin's Creed, don't expect much from the gameplay, will buy for the setting.

 

[HardRojo]

Animations looked cool and I was surprised at the amount of NPCs we got now, gameplaywise nothing seems new.

 

[Raptor]

The coop and how everything looks is fucking great IMO.

Looks familiar but new still fro a new gen, dont know if Im explain myself here.

Loved it.

 

[Spoo]

Setting looks great, but COOP AC is a winning combo for me. Will buy day 0.
