New Assassin's Creed Unity Trailer (Customization & Co-Op)
- Thread starter Alienous
- Start date
Looks fun. This is what I always envisioned when I thought of multiplayer in AC, not the PvP they went with in other games. Hopefully the different specializations will lead to different gameplay experiences, but with how easy combat has typically been in AC games I'm not sure how necessary leveling different skills or wearing heavier armor will be. Oh, and why is everyone speaking with a British accent?

The customization honestly looks pretty neat. I'm digging it.
Yes. Competitive multiplayer is gone and has been replaced with 4 player co-op.

No multiplayer in this version. Kinda bums me out, but alas.
I find it odd that not only are they releasing Unity/Far Cry 4 in the same timeframe, their marketing plans seem to coincide too..

I actually loved the PvP multiplayer in the past games, but this looks far superior.
Very excited to not have the money to buy this.

That trailer was pretty cool.
EDIT: Another watch on a bigger screen does show some heavy aliasing. I'd wager that this is indeed console gameplay.

Really glad to see you can change the color of everything
Some of these green/purple assassins that show up in the other trailers are ridiculous

The gaming gods have answered our prayers and finally removed PvP multiplayer in AC.
Now CO-OP is what should've been done long ago instead.
I'm also really impressed with the amount of detail being put into the game. Look at Arno's facial expressions as he fights. The lighting and animations are astounding for this series. I never asked for customization in Assassin's Creed, but damn, I can't wait to play around with it in this game. British accents aside, it seems they've nailed everything here gameplay wise.
November needs to hurry up and get here.

With the amount of aliasing in that video, this very well could be on console.

I heard the word "loot" and got all kinds of misgivings.
Yay! Yeah, it was unique but the question was posed from a trophy hunter's perspective, embarrassingly. I did enjoy the multiplayer side just not Level 50 enjoy it.
Nah. It's a new feature they're advertizing. It's normal that they should highlight it more. Plus, all the co-op missions can be done solo, too.

Funnily enough, I was thinking the same. I was also thinking that the animations have taken a hit as well.

The custom' looks insane, so much possibilities, can't wait to create my perfect Assassin ! The game seems really great but there is still some work to do with the stealth part :

Did it upset you that people enjoyed something you didn't?
Call of Duty had a more updated multiplayer than AC.
Having seen this run first hand on PC, I am guessing this is XboxOne footage, too much aliasing and lower resolution.
Not at all. That wasn't "Please get rid of it, people are enjoying it and I'm not.", not sure how you inferred that either.
Judging by the video there's matchmaking.
Yes, they remove the MP and added a disappointing and useless (at least for me) 4 player co-op.

I am seriously hoping customization items wouldn't be hidden behind random drops.

Looks fantastic. I am excite!

But it was a "please get rid of it" which I find odd when you could simply not use the PVP if it was in there.
Thank you, Mr. Blimblim!

They said that they did but haven't provide any detail other than there are no auto-kill counter moves anymore.
They already stated that the question was posed from a trophy-hunter perspective.
There was a video about a month or so that claimed the combat has been changed to be less viable.

Is the entire storyline co-op, or just certain co-op missions?
Okay this is looking pretty good. I love how much you can customize your character now from your outfit to your weapon. You can make your assassin look pretty damn slick now. I'm definitely gonna emulate the classic white/red colour scheme outfit since that has always been my favourite.

I don't wanna create big expectations but with a good story this could be the best AC.
Oh and it seems that we'll have a stealth AC, finally.

Pretty sure just specific online stuff.
