    They say it's "small" but honestly it's a great playground without wasting a bunch of space on nothing.

      I was thinking the same. Believe it or not, there is a higher quality experience in a dense city, thought out, with lots of details, with alive breathing environment than in a map like Odyssey or Valhalla.

    • @Marlesden
      @Marlesden 11 місяців тому +1

      Exactly this. It's small compared to Valhalla and Odyssey but the amount of empty areas and reused assets those games have is ridiculous.
      Id rather have dense locations i.e Paris.
      Here's an example, Arkham Knights Gotham and Insoms Manhattan.
      I love both games but imo Gotham is a far more interesting place to play just because it's super super dense but it's significantly smaller.
      Manhattan isn't bad by any means but it is just a location but Gotham felt like a second protagonist

      Wtf does that mean? Lol you want AC to return to the old style games were there were no side quests, repetitive missions I.e. tailing missions, eavesdropping and pickpocketing? Bad graphics and clunky janky parkour? And most of all games where you play as a pirate, gangster and templar? Yeah that’s real AC kid.

    What I kind of love about this is that based on the experience I've had after finishing the game myself, everything he says is just authentic. It doesn't feel like something a marketing team grew in a lab, it's just a level designer sitting down and describing the game he worked on. When you play it, the things he said are just... in the game, as described. That is crazy to me when it comes to Assassin's Creed, a series whose marketing has always been better and stronger than its final product.

    The more I see, the more sold I am. I love how dense Baghdad is, it already makes parkous look so, so much more fun. Assassination animations are much, much smoother and faster than they have been in recent times, too, which is so, SO good.

    I really think this game could be the same as Black Flag was to AC3. That's not to say AC3 was a bad game, it just had its issues at launch and was generally panned at the time as underwhelming. Black Flag recycled it's assets, some of its animations, expanded on its naval combat, and consequently gave us one fo the best games in the series.
    Could Mirage do this off the back of Valhalla? It's looking likely.

    Clearly, these devs are so entrenched in their jobs, they actually thought Basim was interesting. Out of all the things they could have done they make a cookie cutter AC game. It doesn't even look like a current gen (ps5/XsX) game. So many restraints from the business side of things that are placed on these devs... I hope. Pass.
