Youtube link in OP is down.
I found over an hour of the beginning of the game on this channel. (PS4 version)

PS4 version, apparently.

 

[5taquitos]

I don't know if it was in the previous versions, but the ring around the character for detection is so fucking lame and distracting.

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

I don't know if it was in the previous versions, but the ring around the character for detection is so fucking lame and distracting.

I can't ignore it, it's always there and always annoying. In MGSV, at least it only popped up upon someone actively looking at you. Goddamn.

 

[antitrop]

I don't know if it was in the previous versions, but the ring around the character for detection is so fucking lame and distracting.

It's new and apparently able to be toggled.

It's hideous looking, what were they thinking?

 

[SlasherJPC]

Yep can turn it off. I can confirm.

Praise our Templar overlords

 

[7DollarHagane]

I'm not excited for this whatsoever but I will pick it up at $20-$30 and have a bit of fun with it. They drop in price so quick.

 

[MassiveNights]

Looks like it runs OK at least?

 

[BY2K]

Gotta say it looks pretty.

 

[mp1990]

The framerate seems to be ok, huh. I'm not falling for AC again though, I'll end up hating it as i do with every other Ubisoft AAA game that isn't Rayman.
EDIT: and goddamn that ring around MC is disgusting. What were you thinking, Ubisoft ?

 

[BadWolf]

They stole the stealth ring thing from MGS4 it seems.

 

[zsynqx]

Music is great with Austin Wintory on board. Not holding out much hope for the rest of the game however.

 

[Modest Mauser]

I don't know if it was in the previous versions, but the ring around the character for detection is so fucking lame and distracting.

These games just keep getting worse with their awful intrusive UIs

 

[BY2K]

At 10:58, was that lighting pop-in some kind of HDR effect or... ?

 

[kadotsu]

I can't believe how much great art is wasted on such a nothing game.

 

[Boke1879]

Ubisoft games usually drop in price very quick for some reason. A few months after launch and I'm sure you can find this for $30. That's what I'm waiting on.

 

[samn]

What the hell is up with that hula hoop.

Also I'm seeing frame drops throughout, though it's not too bad.

 

[Rebel Leader]

At 10:58, was that lighting pop-in some kind of HDR effect or... ?

I'm not there let so I'll look at that when the time comes

 

[HMD]

The music is amazing, rest of it looks too same-y for a day 1 purchase, I'll get it used.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Music is great with Austin Wintory on board. Not holding out much hope for the rest of the game however.

Like I said in the other thread, won't really matter if Ubi doesn't use it properly and you only hear it for few hours, mostly cut scenes. Especially in a game that takes many hours to beat, 100 hours to complete.

What the hell is up with that hula hoop.

LOL Hula hoop. Yeah, it's hideously distracting, thankfully it can be turned off.

 

[Nere]

I wonder how long the prologue will be in this game? WIll they ever beat the masterpiece of prologue's Assassin's creed 3 with 5-6 hours of prologue until your character fully grows up........I hope not.

 

[sjay1994]

Whats the fucking point of stealth, when there are so many non hostile Ai everywhere? What does this series even want to be anymore?

 

[Dick Justice]

The voice acting during the train cutscene is fucking awful.

 

[SlasherJPC]

I wonder how long the prologue will be in this game? WIll they ever beat the masterpiece of prologue's Assassin's creed 3 with 5-6 hours of prologue until your character fully grows up........I hope not.

No not at all.

 

[QuantumSquid]

Better performance than Unity at least. I might pick it up when it gets cheaper just to explore the amazingly detailed city.

 

[Einhander]

The detail of the machinery in the factory look impressive. I like the more modern setting. I'll play this at a later time when it's cheaper. I want to play Rogue first.

 

[Kureizu]

I might pick this up if the framerate is solid on PS4.

 

[EroticSushi]

Did a double take at the start. Didn't even realize that was Shaun and Rebecca for a minute there.

 

[Fat4all]

The combat seems a lot faster.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Noooo thank you.

 

[Elios83]

Honestly it doesn't look bad at all, although the combat and the dumb enemy AI still seems a weak point. Still waiting for reviews and users feedback before buying it.

 

[Stiler]

I think this series could have learned a lot from the Hitman series of games, in terms of being able to use disguises and other things for a more modern take on stealth.

 

[Fat4all]

Honestly doesn't look bad at all, although the combat and the dumb enemy AI still seems a weak point. Still waiting for reviews and users feedback before buying it.

The best I could hope for is a strong narrative. The setting seems OK, but it's still a crapshoot when it comes to the main characters, the plot of the VR world, and the plot of the 'real' world.

 

[MayMay]

Ohhhh I'm so happy that

Spoiler

Shaun and Rebecca

are back!

 

[Einchy]

Did a double take at the start. Didn't even realize that was Shaun and Rebecca for a minute there.

Looks like they're going with the realistic looking models this game so next one they'll all look like poorly drawn cartoons.

 

[Jedi2016]

Yup. Same shit. Pass.

 

[neogaffer1]

Did a double take at the start. Didn't even realize that was Shaun and Rebecca for a minute there.

what the hell is that character design--she unzipped her jacket just enough to show off her boobs but that's it?

 

[Teeth]

Really nice looking scene about 20 minutes in. Nice lighting and great materials.

Not sure about the actual game though. It's really tough to say...even at the best of times, AC games take a couple of hours to get decent.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Jeez, that ring really is a bad design choice. At least the one in MGS4 was faint and on the ground, not bright and waist-high.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Why does no one react to him? They may not be guards but they are workers who should know that some weirdo running around hopping rails and turning off valves causing problems for the machinery shouldn't be there. No one shouts at him or raises an alarm? They just stand there with their feet nailed to the floor.

I haven't paid that close attention to this series lately, I'm not sure what they supposedly changed about the combat but it still looks complete shit. Any why the hell are enemies highlighted in white?

 

[mgs2master2]

no matter how much shit i talk about for AC, i still play the games day one. Just a fan of the games i guess. Even if it is the same shit diferent year.


in addition since im getting the Gold Edition for free (surprisingly) I guess I wont pass it up entirely until i play it and somehow find it insanely boring. Watching this, i can see myself getting interested.

 

[Einchy]

what the hell is that character design--she unzipped her jacket just enough to show off her boobs but that's it?

Never seen anyone do this in real life?

Tons of pictures like that if you google "unzipped hoodie".

 

[Betty]

I can't ignore it, it's always there and always annoying. In MGSV, at least it only popped up upon someone actively looking at you. Goddamn.

You mean MGS4, there's no threat ring in V.

 

[Sami+]

That sure is an Ass Creed game

 

[3rdamention]

I'm not excited for this whatsoever but I will pick it up at $20-$30 and have a bit of fun with it. They drop in price so quick.

Yep, I bet you see this for$30-$35 on Black Friday...

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

This AC Unity DLC looks nice #Kappa

 

[GavinUK86]

why shaun and rebecca haven't had their own modern day game yet is beyond me. even though they've barely been in it since the desmond games, i still smile whenever they show up.

looks good , a little bit more excited now. i hope there's more modern day stuff than just cutscenes with that woman again though.

 

[sn00zer]

You mean MGS4, there's no threat ring in V.

There is a giant circle on you screen UI....its close enough

 

[GavinUK86]

There is a giant circle on you screen UI....its close enough

luckily, the entire ui can be toggled on/off in ac games.

 

[slapnuts]

This series is getting stale because they keep pumping out these games every year or so which has ruined the series.
