  6. Just no more neverending running around…Haven’t touched AC since AC 3 and stopped playing Black Flag and Unity after a couple of missions. This looks somewhat promising.

  7. Eagle drones, heat seeking arrows and KANGZ!!!!!!!

    Remember when the first game tried to resemble Hitman?

    1. I remembered when the games used to be very repetitive and simplistic, sure 😛

      Lol dude the game is set in Africa. The chances of blacks once dominating Egypt is very likely. The same goes for other races.

      1. Most historians actually stand by the theory that the Nile Civilisation developed independently. Very few (mostly biased) historians actually believe that the Ancient Egyptians were in fact Sub Saharans. Sure, that doesn’t make them Europeans as Hollywood repeatedly paints them as, absolutely, but it doesn’t make them Sub-Saharans, either.

        Now, sure, there’s definitely plenty of argument to be made that the Egyptians had trade contact with the Abyssinians, which lived upstream of the Nile (the Blue Nile’s source is actually deep within modern Ethiopia, & historical Abyssinia, whereas the White Nile stems from a lake all the way down in modern Uganda, so it does cross through the entirety of modern & historic Sudan), which undoubtedly resulted in a degree of migration & ethnic mixing between the various cultures, but beyond that, even today Northern Africa is completely ethnically different from Sub-Saharan Africa, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t also have been so 3,000-5,000 years ago.

        Though, it also depends on what you mean by “dominating.” A Black Pharaoh? Maybe, though proof of that is flimsy, at best. A Sub-Saharan ethnic majority? Extremely unlikely. Take the Greco-Egyptian Ptolemaic Kingdom, for example; the ruling class was a mixture of Greco-Egyptians, absolutely, but I doubt if Alexander defeating the Persian Empire & subsequently occupying its territories somehow successfully exterminated the native Egyptians that resided there before. At best, one could realistically argue that the Europeans ended up as a sizeable minority in the region during that time – especially so after Egypt was successfully incorporated into the Roman Empire, absolutely, but anything more than that, again, lack of evidence, etc.

        Then came the Arabs……

        1. Alright man. I’ll look up these facts at some point but most historians and scientists have stated facts in the past which are totally untrue. Sometimes as a way to fabricate history and it’s still happening with current events in the world. Not saying your points are false but the fact that you aren’t even taking it with a grain of salt with no actual evidence is a little troubling. I just know that some people simply don’t wish to accept any other possible alternative timeline for God knows what reasons.

          1. They’ve actually quite recently DNA tested mummies, etc. but beyond that, yeah, there isn’t much in the way of definitive evidence linking the Ancient Egyptians to their alleged Levantine-area roots. On the other hand, there’s considerably less evidence indicating the other theory, however.

            I always have a grain of salt present for just about everything, sure, the only problem is in this case being my grain is rather small, as there’s no evidence indicating the Independent Nile Civilisation theory is false – especially as it keeps being reinforced. Sure, there’s always the possibility that the data & evidence is being manipulated (& I’m certainly one for conspiracy theories myself, don’t get me wrong), but in this case, I just don’t buy it.

            I mean, yeah, the Hollywood “dey wuz white” thing is bullsh*t, as they were obviously not Europeans, but the whole “we wuz kangs!” thing is equally ridiculous, as there’s nothing but fringe evidence to indicate that they were Sub Saharans, making the entire claim nothing more than preposterous f*cking propaganda perpetrated by supremacists & nutjobs.

            Sadly it’s more than likely we’ll never get a definitive answer either way, which is another problem. It’s the same situation in other such cases, like the question of how blondes with blue eyes ended up in the Balkans, right next to darker skinned peoples with brown eyes. Of course, for obvious reasons historians shy away from the most obvious answer, but hey, maybe one day it’ll turn out it’s true – or not. F*ck knows (I mean, what are the chances that two civilisations just happen to both worship a Sky God?).

            But regardless, all anyone can definitively agree upon is that at some point, the Greek Pantheon replaced the Mother Goddess that dominated the Balkans beforehand. Beyond that, how it arrived, or where it originated, or whatever-the-f*ck else you want, is up to picking which of 1,000+ different theories you prefer. Also, the fact that the earliest forms of Greek writing remain largely a mystery to us today isn’t exactly helping matters either, of course.

            As such, we can make all the assumptions we want, but in the end chances of getting a definitive answer are & will most likely remain slim, leaving these questions open to…. well, a degree of debate, at least.

    2. with barely any interaction.

      I repeat LEVELED ENEMIES AND WEAPONS. This game is now borderloots.

    3. I hate the concept of reskinning modern gadgets so that they fit in with a historical setting. It makes all games feel very similar.
      The first Assassin’s Creed tried to be more believable and I liked it.

  9. Looks very nice but come on after soo many games UBI still don’t know how to program good AI.

  11. I’m pumped :)) Will watch it again soon to get a better idea of everything. Not a whole lot happened really but I expect to see a lot more variation later on. The end of the live demo teased it anyway.

  12. Same engine, same graphics, same animations.
    Ragdolls shittier than ever.
    AI is a pure joke.
    Has an Apokalypto (2006) vibe and recycled ideas from Far Cry Primal.
    The French have their fans by the balls.

  13. Well, like all other ubisoft titles, I’ll be avoiding this anyway.

    As others have mentioned, AI looks clunky, not a fan of all the spoken and handhold style pointing the game is doing. The UI looks like a clunky MMO style emss, complete with a giant a$$ generic “LEVEL UP” notification popping up in the middle of your screen. Game has casual pandering written all over it.

    I was hoping for a Creed game that required actual puzzle solving skills, actual planning to your assassinations and AI that can think for more than two microseconds before stuttering and suddenly knowing your exact location. It seems asking for the game to not treat me like a dolt is too much for them. I look forward to Vivendi delivering the final blow, so the company can return from whence it came.

    Also the devs touted as well as MS, that the game will play “best” on Xbox One X, so PC players are basically screwed over already before release, F*** em.

  15. it ran like trash on console and console is where they make their money. they have investors to answer to so they dialed the graphics back. Honestly Syndicate was a better game than Unity anyway.
