Eh. Ok, I guess.

 

[Reknoc]

Ah, yes, when I think "lesser-known" time periods Victorian London is always the first that springs to mind.

Or its not because it's so unknown. To keep with what Assassins Creed is about. Apparently.

 

[wachie]

Yeah, not buying after the crap they pulled with Unity ..

 

[ultron87]

"where he swaps his hood for a top hat"

I actually really like this being a thing you can do to blend in.

 

[Doffen]

Nice!

Please be good!

Spoiler

Please be good!

 

[iNvid02]

they like reusing assets, makes things easier in the time frames they deal with.

i do wonder how many games we'll get before the next big shift in locale

 

[bishoptl]

although it may not represent what the final game looks like

Kotaku with the shiv.

 

[massoluk]

Victory is something of a shift for the series in a few ways. For one, this is the first Assassin's Creed game helmed by Ubisoft's Quebec studio, as opposed to their primary Montreal office, which has led development on the biggest Assassin's Creed releases since the first game in 2007.

Heh, does it even matter anymore who helmed a project at Ubisoft? The end credit will ended up with a hundred thousand people anyway churning out this title like an assembly line.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I still want one game set in Japan or South Asia/China.

 

[PensOwl]

The more modern they make the series the more out of place that assassin outfit looks ._.

 

[mgs2master2]

looks interesting. lets see how ubi fucks this up next year right?

 

[Revven]

How about completely fixing Unity first? You know, the game you just released two weeks ago that is still suffering from framerate issues and other problems? I'm surprised people in this very thread are excited about this announcement as if Unity didn't just drop and wasn't a complete mess.

 

[DWinn7]

Try again next year minorities

Lol! Basically l

Same ol same ol. Even tho London is awesome, the set pieces and potential voice acting will seem......familiar....hmmmm

Edit: I haven't actually heard the voice acting. Lol

 

[DOWN]

Ubisoft game reveal. Let's not get too excited.

Come on. Unity was a creative beauty with tech issues. They surely know not to pull a Unity twice as far as polish since the brand won't survive that again. I loved Paris enough that I told myself immediately I would get AC 2015, and I sure am excited for this.

 

[Floridian]

Not interested.

 

[Sami+]

Tbh I want to go back to the Middle East more than anything.

But I'm biased on that front.

 

[LiK]

Gorgeous screens in 10 fps

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Agreed. Black Flag 4 was a such breath of fresh air in the series. I'm still waiting AC in Japan.

the only thing refreshing about 4 was the boat stuff. The actual campaign was full of terrible stealth/tailing missions and the gameplay was barely an upgrade from AC3. Problem was that no one played 3, or revelations, so people didn't see how the campaigns were progressive getting worst as the series went along.

 

[Poeton]

[Rurunaki]

So this is what Nomura's Assassin's Creed looks like..

 

[Frumix]

Does that grappling hook icon have the order's A symbol as the hook?

Yes.

Yes it does.

 

[strafer]

Terrible subtitle.

 

[cyberheater]

Remember to buy day one before the reviews hit folks.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Kinda amazing the shift in tone over a few screenshots...

Like, has nobody learned over the past three years? "Wow, that looks really good!, can't wait to play". I will bet 5 Diamond Dog Coins the same person will say "Wow, can't believe at the downgrade, the game is buggy and doesn't look as good as initial reveal, but it's Assassins Creed and it's fun, hope next year is different!"

Cmon guys, don't let Ubisoft off so easy, please. Make them sweat a little and wait for reviews.

 

[dc89]

Interesting locale that's for sure.

 

[ricelord]

that was fast...

 

[Nokterian]

Waiting for that season pass to be announced or leaked because you can't be soon enough!

 

[le.phat]

super interesting!

 

[SneakyStephan]

My favorite thing about these screenshots is how they are representative of the final graphics and gameplay, pre ordered.

 

[Acquiescence]

Looks good! But after Unity, I've learned not to trust Ubisoft. I will change my mind if The Division turns out good though.

Think about it dude, this'll probably be out before The Division!

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Kotaku with the shiv.

Hopefully won't look like this

 

[twobear]

Kotaku with the shiv.

One would hope it doesn't, since it looks like a PS3/360 remaster in those screens.

 

[mp1990]

Seriously,i don't think Ubi would launch two games of they major franchise with so many problems,certainly Victory will run a lot better than Unity.

 

[enzo_gt]

Whoa, that's an early leak.

Looking kind of rough ATM, for obvious reasons.

 

[Orniletter]

I wonder if we´ll ever get an AssCreed set in Germany.

....but I don´t think there is a "period" as famous as the french reovlution or Victorian-era I guess...

Spoiler

No World war 1 or 2 pls

 

[fargofallout]

I'm surprised people are as positive about this as they are. How are people A) not bored to tears by Assassin's Creed, and B) not still resentful about Unity? Also, doesn't it seem like this is a little early? It's almost like they're saying "hey, forget about that hot mess we released a few weeks ago - look at this sweetness coming next year! Assassin's Creed is still cool!"

 

[LordBaztion]

 

[UrbanRats]

I think this was the most requested setting?

This is what makes me particularly butt hurt, lol.

Right when i decided to cut the cord.

 

[kabel]

One would hope it doesn't, since it looks like a PS3/360 remaster in those screens.

WAT?

 

[DOWN]

One would hope it doesn't, since it looks like a PS3/360 remaster in those screens.

Nah, looks better than Rogue. More like a rough Unity than anything.

 

[BakkaGames]

I'm excited for the new AC game and I hate myself for it.

 

[Philippo]

Just release it in a more playable status, UbiQueb.
Setting is a must buy, but i'm not going to pay for a broken ass, glitchy, sub-15fps game.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

this is gaf. People that boycott still end up buying the next game in the series.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Yeah, this seemed like the logical follow-up to Unity.

It will probably be one of those "not-exactly-a-full-sequel" titles that focuses on polishing all the rough edges from the last game, but still positioned as a mainline title in the same way AC4 built directly on top of AC3 or Brotherhood on AC2.

In the case of Unity that's not a bad thing.

 

[AmuroChan]

Ubisoft should pull a Marvel/DC and just reveal their entire lineup of AC games for the next 10 years.

 

[Kazerei]

I wonder if Connor will be mentioned in this one. Probably too late for him to make an appearance again, poor guy.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Looks good graphically and a great setting, but I'm sure it'll still be the same damn Ubisoft open world shit once more with another inconsequential story as this franchise continues to meander aimlessly.

Kinda amazing the shift in tone over a few screenshots...

Like, has nobody learned over the past three years? "Wow, that looks really good!, can't wait to play". I will bet 5 Diamond Dog Coins the same person will say "Wow, can't believe at the downgrade, the game is buggy and doesn't look as good as initial reveal, but it's Assassins Creed and it's fun, hope next year is different!"

Yep, can't believe some people have forgotten Unity already.

Ubisoft should pull a Marvel/DC and just reveal their entire lineup of open world games for the next 10 years.

Fixed.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Day 1

 

[NHale]

Did anyone mentioned this looks like a intentional leak by Ubisoft to try to erase the damage done by AC: Unity aka change the narrative from the actual broken game they just released to the hopes, dreams and aspirations about this new shiny product that will release in 12 months?

Well great job Ubisoft PR. As we can see in this thread it worked perfectly on a lot of people. Can't wait to see them again next year when you "leak" AC: Namasté after AC: Victory debacle.

 

[matrixman92]

I miss when AC games were leaked by people seeing it on employees laptops on an airplane
