I'm actually excited to explore Victorian London, cause exploring Paris was phenomenal.
Really hope they nail the tech and keep all those problems to a minimum for Victory. While Unity has its problems, the city is just fucking gorgeous and amazing to walk around in. It was worth the price of admission just for that.
I wonder if we'll jump ahead to the Blitz for the time anomalies.

How to easily identify an Ubisoft screenshot as a "target render"
Good looking LOD throughout. In Anvil. Hah.
I don't want to know what that will look like in the final product. The low LOD buildings from those perspectives are always very nasty looking

So what? I have not been talking about Kotaku or what they reported. I was just baffled at the statement by the user I quoted, that big companies apparently have no right to privacy because they are selling us products and want our attention to those products when they come out.
I think that is wrong and a very bold thing to say.
And as I already said, I can understand that Kotaku published the news.

Ah, that's great. Because I thought the last patch is 1.3.
You know where the frame drops commonly occur?
In Notre Dame.
My CPU is 4790K and SLI 980 GTX GPU so they need to fix that.

The introduction of vehicles and battling on vehicles and that grappling hook... that seems cool. I didn't mind that each AC game they iterate more and more stuff.

They're still fixing Unity's framerate and bug stuff, right?
I need to do more of the murder mysteries. I hope those carry over to Victory.
I wonder how different structurally this game will be if Ubi QC are doing it. Are we now gonna get a COD Infinity Ward/Treyarch situation where they start taking turns?

They should make the Victory trailer set to 'Fucking in the Bushes' by Oasis.
I hope the story in Victory doesn't end in a wet fart like Unity. Oh and either completely ditch the modern day stuff or make it interesting again, cause Unity's modern day narration was dumb as fuck (but the time anomalies were cool, so do something with them!)
This is great.

I wish Visceral Games/EA actually made that Jack the Ripper game. I was really interested to see where they were going with it.
I hope they don't make the Ripper a Templar nut in this one, but make a gigantic, crazy, creepy murder mystery that has the Assassin hunting him down. Make it all kooky and nutty and just damned sinister.

But the Montreal games were the good ones before they started to suck ass. I miss Désilets. It's a shame Ubi fucked him over.

I love the Paris setting and I love the idea of this.
I just want them to work properly.

If you agree Kotaku was right to publish the news, I find it hard to understand how you were baffled by "then it has no right to cry that the people whose attention it craved and begged for won't stop from peeking behind a fictional privacy curtain designed only to avoid loss of sales of an existing game."
I didn't say it has no right to privacy, no right to have employees not leak things, or that its employees personal lives are fair game for reporting. I said that it has no right to cry when Kotaku peeked at and reported on its next game when they had the opportunity (using different words of course). And that was in response to a comment suggesting that Kotaku leaking the information was not appropriate.
Omg

What if our character IS Jack the Ripper, and his targets were Templars, but the Templars have twisted history to misrepresent it?
The victims werent cut apart with precision out of malice, but to find/extract something inside them? Maybe they were bearers of progenitor dna?
On a scale of stupid to really stupid, how would you rate that?!

That 3rd picture looks like he's fighting unarmed on top of that carriage.
In Unity they removed hand to hand to combat as well as being able to fight with the hidden blades (probably because Arno only carries one).
I kinda wish they bring back the ability disarm enemies from AC2 if you fight unarmed.

Unlike AC, FFXV has never proven to be a broken mess. The fact that the development of the game has been too long is an issue completely different from the AC one, especially if we focus on the last iterations of the Ubi franchise.
It might look pretty and the graphics will surely be cool but it's just another AC game with the same structure and gameplay they've been releasing at least twice per year for a while now. There really is nothing to be excited about. If you want a Victorian setting, I'd rather bite Bloodborne.

I think it's stupid (in the best possible way). That would be an interesting story.

Yay more broken creed
Not only that, but we are still weeks before Christmas. I cant imagine wanting to divert attention from the product released during the peak time for sales.

Just like how technology advanced from French revolution to Victorian era will ingame fps advance too?

I really don't have a lot of interest in playing an old-style Assassins' Creed game again, regardless of the location or how pretty it looks. The hunting/sailing were great additions and as pretty as the cities are rendered in their engines, that alone isn't enough to make me consider purchasing it.

Well damn, was totally going to skip AC for the first time next year as Unity is just not drawing me in, but I've been waiting for this setting since finishing 2.

I'm suspicious on whether this was an intentional leak as it comes at a perfect time. Victorian England is a great location and I think they want to get fans thinking about the next game instead of dwelling on Unity. I wouldn't be surprised if they have written off Unity at this point altogether. Yes Unity cost a ton to make but at the same time this is not a small company and most of a game's revenue is made in the first month or so of release.
This is the first AC location I've actually been excited about exploring. If it's as good as Black Flag it will be fantastic. I'm glad the info on this new game was posted as it gives me a new game to be excited about besides Arkham Knight!

In fairness, "another Assassin's Creed game is coming" is only legitimately surprising for the audacity of it so fresh after Unity and that's solely because it was leaked. If it weren't revealed now, it would be revealed in three months, so I don't think Ubisoft is too harmed by this.
It's not your job to leak this kind of information, no matter how you spin it.
Yes it is, because it's news. They serve us, not Ubi.

I'll be very disappointed if they make him a Templar, even though they obviously will if he's in it.
He'd be a much more interesting character if he was just in the background, unaffilliated with any group, being the absolute terrifying lunatic he was in real life. I don't even want to see his face actually. Make it so you put a stop to the murders, but he still gets away without anyone ever knowing his identity. Make it so you only ever see him vaguely, and he gets away every time you come close.
Make him interesting and mysterious. The guy is like a folk tale come real, if they make him a known Templar, they most probably lose all of that intrigue.

Do you think you'll be able to latch the grappling hook on to almost anything? I really hope it's more of a swinging mechanic than a zipline like in Tenchu and Just Cause.
I'm so glad they are including more traversal tools this time around. I wonder what other new gadgets we'll have at our disposal.
Hopefully the customization aspects are returning.

Insanely stupid/10 but fascinating to see.
If he's a Templar, I will throw a book at a wall. Don't fuck this up, Ubi QC.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
News sites don't (well, shouldn't) serve as extended PR, their service is to their readers.
The news is hardly a shocker.
no omg no, I'm hoping the Order is leaps and bounds better than any AA and I don't think that will be hard to do.
also yeah for another European AA s/c. give me feudal japan and I'm in even though I'll probably regret it like every AA game ever, expect approximately half of black flag.
