Never pre order anything that is made by Ubisoft period
Never pre order any game
never pre order any game or buy any ubisoft game
Preordering in general is for R words 😂
Normally I would throw caution to the wind and pre-order (I'm old and am financially comfortable). But after the last two AC games, I concur.
This is great advice.
“We can’t mix them together”
Jin Sakai: “hold my sake”
Then everyone will call it rip off of Jin
@@repusprimus2872 well it's definitely on ubisoft for sitting on the concept of assassin creed in japan for god knows how long, they should have jumped at the chance and made one right away.
I think it's still a good decision. Even in GoT, Jin Sakai had an internal conflict of maintaining his samurai honor or getting things done in dirty way. So it's clear that Samurai and Ronin never go hand in hand often. So having one character as Samurai ans other as Rohin will also be a good way to show how the life of Rohin differs from Samurai
Thats literally the point of them sepperating the character roles. Jin left the Samurai pretty much by acting like an Assassin. The point of Yasuke is to remain a Samurai while helping the Assassins. Y‘all would cry again because of historical inaccuracy if they made Yasuke an Samurai-Assassin.
If they would put them together it would literally be jin sakai
Ubisoft : Preorder it !
Me : Gameplay ?
Ubisoft : Trust me bro !
Gameplay in June then Decide
gameplay is going to just like origins, odyssey, valhalla and mirage. just in feudal Japan, you literally know nothing about Ubisoft do you
@@Mhats lmao I wanna see if they made much of difference Parkour fighting also see if it’s a buggy mess ect
I can’t wait to buy it 3 years after release so I can pay $15 for it on sale
My exact thoughts
Thanks for letting us know
It won't take 3 years for it to go on sale its ubisoft
I have good news for you. According to the latest Ubi discount data, their games are heavily discounted within 3-5 weeks after the release date.
I see this comment under every game that comes out. Just say your broke
This game is the peak example of "just because something can be done, doesn't mean you have to do it"
People are arguing over whether Yasuke was a samurai or not, I'm saying even if he was a Samurai, its not a good idea making him the protagonist of a game centred around Japan & Japanese culture. Yasuke was a single black samurai(if he was a samurai) out of thousands of samurai who were actual Japanese people. If you pick up a history book 99.999% of Samurais were local Japanese people. So the People screaming "rAcIsT" towards anyone criticising the character choice should realise that Yasuke is an exception, not the rule.
When making games & movies & other medium, you don't use an exception as a way of representing a certain culture or history. This seems like culture appropriation if you ask me when devs & studios purposely ignore thousands of actual Japanese people & make a black person as the protagonist just cuz a single black samurai existed. By that logic exceptions exist in all cultures & history would y'all have the same energy if people start doing this shit with every culture??? Making an African based movie with a white lead. Making a latino movie with a chinese lead. Making a norse movie with an Indian lead. That's my point. You will always find these exceptions, but that's not the best way to represent these cultures.
And if he was a white person, I would have said the same thing. I'm asian myself & I have never ever liked West & Hollywood depicting our culture & history. They always make it about themselves & their identity politics rather than the actual asian people they are making it on.
Agreed. They could have had you play as the Englishman William Adams (the real-life inspiration for Blackthorne in the Shogun Book) and it would be an equally obnoxious move to throw over playing as a Japanese Samurai or Ronin versus a Gaijin.
What's even more notable is, that traditionally historical characters have always been NPC in the AC Titles (Leonardo Da Vinci for example), versus playable characters. They could have easily incorporated the character of Yasuke in the game as such, whilst letting you as the player be an original character.
Dude you lame af 😂😂😂
I think they went for lore focused story, yasuke has historical ties to oda nobunaga, and was a retainer, and then shortly after disappeared from history. there's tons of mystery around him. perfect for creating narratives.
Agreed
Very well fucking said! 👏
Im just gonna replay ghost of tsushima.
I'll say it
I love that game but the stealth sucks. It's so boring and lack luster. The AC RPG games offer more stealth options
I was thinking about that on the way home lol
ME TOO
@@aliquidgaming1068 🧢
@aliquidgaming1068 facts I've always hated the stealth in that game. It's so basic. There's no creativity or skill needed.
Like every Assassin's Creed game, I'll wait a couple of months when it goes on sale for like half off
Yeah they're always a hit or miss. Might as well get em at discount
€10 is the sweet spot for these games
And they'll fix the game with in that two months.
Same,I'll wait til it's either free included with ps plus or on sale
its not even worth that
Shortly after the events of Valhalla (9th century) the Order of the Ancient essentially reformed into the Templar order. AC Shadows takes place in the 16th century, meaning the Order of the Ancients is long gone at this point, we're not gonna see the Order as we saw it in Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and Mirage. We're back to Templars VS old-school Assassin Brotherhood.
If this was 2017 I'd be pissed off but, I don't care enough to buy it anymore.
Buy what They didn't show a product of any kind 😂
Why would you be pissed off exactly? You're not Japanese. Why does this concern you?
Still think a story about the greatest Shinobi 🥷 of all time Hattori Hanzo would have been the best choice narratively for an Assassin’s Creed game based in Fedual Japan. Imo 🤔💯
Nooooo! We have to be that one singular black samurai that may or may not have existed!
@@OtherwisePanicSad to break it down to you but there are multiple records that prove that Yasuke was real.
@@cezarstefanseghjucanBut not a samurai
@cezarstefanseghjucan Yeah but none states he was a samurai, and most actually call him a helper.
@@TechnoMinarchist the developers literally said this is a "what if" story. If you want a documentary on Feudal Japan you're looking in the wrong place.
Finally. Someone who doesn't talk during cutscenes.
Yea Luke usually really pays attention to the stuff then give his thoughts
Most of the time it’s to avoid copyright flag
I can't blame them. You gotta talk every 5s or Your UA-cam channel get strike.
Ubisoft wants me to not own their games.
That’s what I’m gonna do.
thanks for letting us know that you're not playing random stranger. nobody cares.
Yep, this looks cool, but nope. Not buying Ubisoft game ever again. I don't care how good it looks.
I am going to play Ghost of Tsushima on PC instead.
@@NewYears1978 because you don't have to log into steam to play Ghost of Tsushima. next time you buy a game on steam read that license agreement terms you blindly click yes
@@cd878 nobody cares that your playing it Stranger. You’re so friendly I see.
No ubisoft doesnt want that and its a dumb talking point. A dingle exec said that and it was referring to things like subscription services
Can’t wait to pick this game up for $30 3 months after release.
Either way, you picked it up
These types of deals are getter rare. Unfortunately, $50 is the new $30
Can't wait to pick this game through piracy.
Can't wait to immerse myself in Feudal Japan by playing as a Japanese Samurai... oh wait
Being Japanese is not diverse enough
Maybe do some research. Also it’s a video game.
@@producedagains808 Boohoo
@@producedagains808 Right back at you. Retainer is not a samurai...
@@producedagains808oh yeah , its just a video game , but its important, so we have to push diversity to educate the masses abt representation. Pick one trashbag
Ubisoft: We want you to experience Samurai and Shinobi, and we couldn't do that with just 1 character?
Me: Really? Cause Ghost of Tsushima was able to do it just fine.
Realistically, they did it for 1 reason. Diversity. They wanted to make the MC Yasuke, but knew they had to give us a Japanese MC as well, so they gave as a Japanese woman as well. Their motivations are clear as day.
6:23 you f*cking clown
Assuming they couldn't do it with one character, they could have just made both of them Japanese given that this is a Japanese assassins' creed.
So??? When they micro-transaction the heck out of the game, or they launch _another_ broken game, or its bloated and boring... most people will be ticked about that and not Ubisofts too little too late feeble attempt at diversity.
@bigskypioneer1898 That's not the point. Plus, Ubi has been MTXing AC to hell for years, and people still buy it. My main issue is this is revisionist history. Little is known about Yasuke, and what little we do know tells us he was little more than a slave/servant of Nobunaga, his sword bearer and used as a court jester from time to time because of his skin color. He was given a sword, but Samurai carried 2 swords and were lords. Yasuke was not a Lord. Nobunaga owned him, and Yasuke followed him around everywhere. Upon Nobunaga's death, Yasuke was imprisoned and then sold back to the Jesuits (who Nobunaga bought him from in the first place). This is revisionist history, and I won't stand for it. They should have stuck to their own corner and made both MCs original characters like they've always done, but now they are trying to push diversity by blowing Yasuke up to mythical proportions, claiming he was a legendary Samurai (which there is no evidence for) and making him into something he's not.
@@tktxlegend4540Hasnt AC always taken liberties with history? All the games have major historical figures who turn out to be templars or assassins or whatever
Just wanted to know why Yasuke can wear armor and blade on the street without getting noticed by local officials. If they want to do Samurai life, at least present their un-armored clothes.
He's African, a retainer and then later vassal of Oda Nobunaga, and a samurai. The daimyo knew who he was with or without armor. 😉
@@TheFuronMothership he was never a samurai. For him to be a samurai would require Oda Nobunaga to be a Shogun which he's not
@@mar5362He's a daimyo at the time and from what I know.Daimyos can have an army of samurai.
a nation at war doubt it will be unusual to see a armored soldier walking around especially one working directly under oda Nobunaga
Bruh this is the same series where the guards were too dumb to make out Altair on a bench or in a group of monks 😂
Yasuke was brought to Japan as a slave too, Ubisoft and AI are going to great pains to paint him as a traveler who gently arrived in Japan. It's generally believed he was never a Samurai either, merely a retainer.
Bro a retainer is also a class of Samurai
@@skandadattah.h.9817 No not necessarily, a retainer was someone who served another family or person. which could be anyone from samurai to a servant, however yasuke was kinda just used as a show piece because he was from africa and not considered a samurai.
@@bigjizzer3518 womp womp wrong there are countless written documents from many Japanese back then that yasuke fought in many battles for oba!!! But nice try 🤣
@@bigjizzer3518 You think a 6ft tall imposing guy towering over the average Japanese guy at the time is going to be used as a servant show off guy?
@@MAGA2024TRUMP-y8q いいえ。わたしは日本人なのではっきり言いますが、弥助の情報は全く残っていません。2700年以上ある日本の歴史の中で弥助は全く活躍していません。日本人の多くが彼の存在を知りません。外国人によって美化された弥助を信じるのはやめた方がいい。
This isnt about historical accuracy, its about whats fair. We have never played as a historical figure in ac. Why now? Why can't i play as a japanese man? The frustration is there because ac is a historical fantasy placing you in the shoes of the people native to the setting.
Because you already get to play as a Japanese woman, is that somehow worse to you?? Seems like you got some shit to work out there buddy
@@mookiestewart3776nope this is how the majority of assassins creed fans feel and you are the out of touch one
@@mookiestewart3776 calm your self righteous self down. People have a right to be upset about this. Current western politics is clearly more important than historical accuracy.
You gotta point ... But I know them Japan people are really mad
@@Jayreisofficial except for the fact it’s one of the most preordered games over there… I guess they hate it
"A Ubisoft Original"
Oh it is.. it definitely is.
looks like another game with the exploited A.C. logo stamped on it
Welp, the only reason AC spans so many eras and settings is so the ip could be "annually exploitable," according to Ubisoft themselves. So, what's the complaint here?
It’s been exploited since 3, one of the creator wanted to end the series with that game but ubi made sure it didn’t
They are trying to edit the Wikipedia article on Yasuke after this dropped and historians are fighting trying to keep the page accurate. UBISOFT WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT!?
No wayy
Were you this upset about the Nioh white samurai protagonist? We both know the answer.
Shut up @@shira2151
@@shira2151I mean if we’re going there I never saw any outrage when we played as an Italian in Turkey in revelations or a Welshman in the West Indies in 4 lol and last I checked people were making fun of people upset about William (Nioh protag) calling them snowflakes lol
@@KrimsonDragoonezio italy moved around 3 games, edward A pirate, haytham travelled and fathered connor our American mc dont try ur racism here
I love you Luke but every time you say "is just a videogame" a part of my soul breaks and I become more villain that before, we should demand certain quality accord to the promises or the tone of the stories, we should encourage them to be pretentious and demand quality, cause when they want money the dont even ask so
6:24 if they’re so concerned with that particular historical accuracy then the playerbase has every right to be concerned with others.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You cannot say “this wouldn’t be realistic” and then say “we can make shit up for this part” and then say “you’re being a racist”.
No, they’re just cherry picking what they want to excuse their reasoning for pushing diversity quotas. Yasuke wasn’t a Samurai, women weren’t Shinobi generally speaking.
The most common form of female assassins were prostitutes.
This will be completely outclassed by Ghost of Tsushima, a 5 year old game.
We wuz samarai 😂
“We wuz samarai.”
I can’t guess what your problem with this game is. Though you should know Yasuke was real. Though he wasn’t a samurai as far as I know, just one of Nobunaga’s retainers. But then again, Niccolo Machiavelli wasn’t a member of an Islamic order that disbanded centuries before his birth either so it’s not the first time the franchise played fast and loose with historical characters.
@@pandogstudios1512 You don't have to guess what my problem is, I'll spell it plainly for you - It's absurd and we know exactly why Ubisoft are doing it.
Cool way to say “I’m racist”
@@ValiantInstancehonestly in this instance you're as pathetic as you're trying to make Ubi out to be
@@ValiantInstanceit’s a video game. it’s not real. if you want “historical accuracy,” play as the girl. or do you have a problem with women too?
Remember, never preorder a game till you see how it actually plays first. Preorder bonuses aren't worth it these days anyways.
i'll pre order it. because the gameplay is going to be just like Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and Mirage. just set in feudal Japan. great gameplay btw
“We can’t mix them together”
Hattori Hanzo : わたしはあなたにとってどうでもいい存在ですか？
Honestly it feels so obvious that the guy main character is there for diversity reasons since he is THE FIRST historical person to be an AC main character, it truly feels like they had to find a way to have at least one "diverse" main character and they chose him because people wouldn't be able to complain because hes a historical person, even tho historical people have never been the player character in AC games before, we interacted with leonardo da vinci, we didnt play as him
It feels like it will be fun to play with Yasuke
Feels like you're looking for something to be political when it probably isn't
Stop trying too hard, hold you bigotry horses
@@redninja3056 it's a Canadian studio. It most definately is a diversity move by ubisoft.
U do realize yasuke was a real person who arrived in Japan as a slave right?
You mispronouncing Japanese names is pretty cringe. Its Yas-kae not Ya-su-kae. Its Naru-to, not Na-rU-to. Ik its a pet peeve but bro dont be the American who perpetuates the thought that Americans are unintelligent by butchering names without even attempt to say them right.
The Ubisoft developer interview highlighted enthusiasm towards weaving historical facts into the story, and a heavy focus on what a foreigner living in Japan during that time would have felt. This guy and other idiots: "The complainers need to shut up, it's a game that is not parading itself around as being historically accurate."
Not even a whiff of the supernatural in AC Shaddow's 1st trailer.
I loved Origins and Odyssey, but the garbage that's come out since is bargain bin bait for me whenever I'm in the mood for some AAA, WEF, Klaus Schwab, CCP-level, propaganda media.
Memberships are PC only. They don't ask for memberships on my xbox series x. I pre-orderd assassins creed -shadow and Star Wars outlaws. 1. Assassins creed is a must-have and 2. Star Wars outlaws were developed by the division 2 studio massive. So I'm all in. I've been playing games since atari and E.T. was a garbage game. Assassins creed and S.W. outlaws are somekind of wonderful.
God, remember the AC2 brotherhood trailer? This doesn't even compare. And that was more than a decade ago.
I can't wait to not own this amazing assassin's creed game 😂
You dont any game anyway, unless its an actual physical copy.
@@SuperAerieyou don’t own it on physical either unless it’s steam or gog or an offline game
@@acev3521 Eh? Do you even know what "physical" is? A disc! Something that you hold in your hand.
You seriously think you own anything on Steam? Lol. Let me enlighten you. You pay money rent a copy on a unspecified amount of time that can be taken away from you at any point, give the agreements on any digital platform a read its all in there & they are identitcal, you dont own anything.
@@acev3521 Eh? You do know what "physical" means right? As in holding it in your hand. Like a disc.
And if you think you own games on steam, lol, you better read the terms one more time. Nobody owns any digital copies, you rent them until further notice and can be pulled at any time. Goes for all the digital stores.
You already don't own it so why are you waiting?
I think after Rise of Ronin, I'm a bit worn out when it comes to samurai-era stories but I still have an open mind about this game.
don't
I don't think of rise of ronin as really contributing to the 'good samurai game' pool to be honest.
I'm a a stickler for animation quality and graphics generally... I bought rise o ronin, but I haven't been able to bring myself to play it quite yet.
And I'm sure I'll finish it before this comes out... but we know what it is with rise o ronin... and in terms of things I value in games... rise o ronin doesn't really do any of it.
I love samurai stuff... but I find it hard to get excited for a game that looks how rise o ronin does.
And keyley to my feelings... I was pretty disappointed that ghosts of tsushima only had the sword as a proper weapon.
The Nagita should also have been a must... so that also left me wanting.
(Yes rise o ronin has better weapon variety... but when the whole thing is just such a drag to look at... I can't call that a win)
For me, I am hoping this hits enough of the spots without pissing in the project too much with mtx, that I can just enjoy a game I have been anticipating since AC1.
I don't need more AC games, and sure, I probably won't need more Ninja/ samurai games... but then that sentiment isn't even remotely true, because obviously ghost of tsushima 2 will be pretty damn excellent...so..
But in my life, I have never been satisfied with the amount or quality of samurai games on the market... so potentially I am just such a weeb that my hunger will never be satiated lol.
Tbh, Rise of the Ronin truly satisfies the itch for late samurai/early Meiji Restoration era. There aren't many games that explore this period; one notable example is the "Fall of the Samurai" expansion for Total War: Shogun II.
Lol Ubisoft like always late to the party
Finally someone who doesn't have goosebumps about the elephant in the room. Smh when I was a kid the media made it seem like most people were like that. It wasn't until I graduated college is when I had a huge wake call how competitive this topic was
They see a black person and they just get mad. But Nioh there was no complaint about him. 😂
There's people in the official trailer's comments saying "oh of course you play as a woman"... like do they genuinely think women don't exist in Japan?
I remember these same people calling people snowflakes for being upset about a white dude in Nioh 😂
@@ManiacalflameYT Wait did they really? most of the comments I saw were them hating on a black guy being the main protagonists and completely ignoring that the woman existed
They just keep proving people right when we say they hate us
In Nioh, Yasuke wasn't the main character. He was part of the story but was not the forefront.
A black dude in feudal Japan...yeah, this will go over well with the gamurzz...
yeah almost like all assasin creed games were historically accurate you guys always have problems with black people in games if it was a white guy youd be preordering
Might be the first black samurai they do there also known as Yasuke
@@exthor33 yasuke is an individual man, and he was never a samurai, he was a retainer for oda nobunaga
@@exthor33 Yasuke was never a samurai, please search a bit of history.
Atleast they made him masculine and and not a rainbow samurai.
"We can't mix them together"
Meanwhile Tsushima exists
but that was the whole point of the plot in Ghost of Tsushima, you can't be samurai if you fight dishonorably like a ninja, whereas in this game, it has two playstyles and they both work together
Its so funny how everyone just ignores the part right before he said that when he explained that the the 2 differing upbringings, life styles and backgrounds are what can't get mixed. Yes, Jin Sakai exists. But that kind of character and story is clearly not what they're going for. Jin didn't grow up in a clan of shinobi. Naoe did. You can't depict that in a story while also having that character be a samurai. Those are 2 polar opposites. Hence 2 protagonists
@@salmankhan2739 You can still play as both throughout the game though
@@Belligerennt but if I play one mission as one character I can't replay it immediately now can I, I would have to start a new playthrough and then do that mission with the second character
@@salmankhan2739 I was talking about ghost of tsushima. Idk how the AC game is gonna work.
I'm stunned that Ubisoft is still making games!!!!
Gold edition preordered.
Enjoyed all the modern ACs.
Yasuke is awesome and a brilliant move for the narrative.
Can't wait for november.
Don't understand why there's a samurai as a playable character
The whole assasin "hiding in the shadows" ideology goes against the samurai code
He wasn't a samurai in real life. So his actual story would have worked better.
@@65firered Yasuke was a samurai do your research
Ghost of Tsushina did this. I'll wait for your rage
@@shira2151 Oh, I have. He wasn't. Instead of blindly believing what people tell you, take your advice.
@@65firered he literally was and I went to school for history. How did you find your facts. By studying the art of racial googling!?
Keep this same racist energy when Kratos is running through the Sahara in Africa, heading to chop off an *"Egyptian Pharoah's"* Head while wearing a Turban.
Out of all of Japanese history, we're that one black samurai? Really?
Why is that a problem??
Well, there were more, and he's not a samurai.
And do you want something that has been done a million times before?
There's literally only one reason why that would matter to you.
Because I'm racist. Duh.
Imagine that we get a Native American themed AC game, but we play as a non-native colonist. You'd probably be disappointed.
@@OtherwisePanic you are
Great! An Assassin's Creed game set in Japan! Can't wait to play as a Japanese man. Oh wait...
If this was 8 to 10 years ago I think I'd be hyped. Anything samurai im a simp for.
But it's 2024. And Ubisoft. I'll probably try it a couple years after release.
Ubisoft also comes from that same river of greed after seeing those prices 😂
So glad that Luke knows about ESG/DEI and understand that people aren’t just being “racist” or some type of phobic but tired of companies pretending to care just to check boxes
Yeah I was expecting Ubisoft to find a way to shove him in there as a character you meet but they really went all out and made him the main character, lol.
The game starts in 1579 or something? So instead of deciding on a period and looking for interesting characters, they just picked the character and decided to adjust the timeline to that. They may as well just call it Assassin's Creed: Yasuke.
My guess is… it’s gonna be a mixture of Ghost of Tsushima with a hint of dark souls like combat and or what the previous Assassin’s Creed games combat was. A mixture of splinter cell stealth gameplay for the girl and For Honor gameplay mechanics for the samurai guy. Oh… maybe some Sekiro stuff if they go overboard with gameplay.
Basically, it’s gonna be cool for the people that’s into the whole Japanese thing and ghost of Tsushima-soul like games, with Assassin’s Creed name stamped on it. But time will tell. *GAMEPLAY IS KING!*
This takes place around 50 years after Ezio's death. I wonder if Naoe has an Assassin mentor who speaks about the greatness of Ezio or quotes him.
They played the Ezio theme in the trailer. Pretty sure this will happen
@@Knighttt662 I mean the ezio’s family theme was in Odyssey too. Doesn’t really mean much
@@Crypt1cCas3 yeah true.
They have been milking this theme since syndicate
Honestly I'm really Hyped for this cause I love AC Lol and until GOT 2 this *might* Fill that itch
Tbh by everything we seen about the game it gave me way more hype and helped me overlook the controversy’s
So many people were yapping to Ubisoft to make an Assassins Creed set in Japan, here you go.
Yeah, 10+ years ago.
Ubisoft the ultimate money's paw. Never ask them for anything, you'll always get something worse.
@@PikeBishop1I’ve heard even after Ghosts of Tsushima released lol

Yeah it’s way better to cream your pants when seeing shit from Nordic/Viking culture……way more original lol
Honestly the last line "we are the shadow, that serve the light" with the AC theme always gives me goosebumps.

Female protagonist (again) + black samurai. +1000 social score comrade!
25:05 It still is for diversity sake cus in AC we never played as historical character, all characters are fictional made by Ubisoft. But they can't do it this time without using the name Yasuke to avoid backlash. So they did this intentionally. Now, if you complain, they can just say "huh, but this is a real person tho" as an alibi. We would actually love it more if Yasuke is an NPC that fight with us like that indian man from AC Syndicate.
I don’t see the difference if they are going to invent historical facts for the character. I agree they shouldn’t contradict history, but writing a character within it is fine
@@Agent_Cobalt I get that. I was just correcting the obvious thing Ubisoft did with this game.
@@reezwave I feel like people forget that AC has a very easy excuse for historical inaccuracy. It’s Templar shenanigans

THIS GAME LOOKS VERY PROMISING!!! I'm going to be honest, I love this trailer. I think this game has a lot of potential to be good and I cant wait to play the story and see how the combat is going to be like. Especially with the new hidden blade, which I think at this point is my favorite in the franchise.
I really wanted to immerse myself in the culture by being more a part of it, not being a foreigner. EDI, expectations, and historical accuracy aside, if these characters are well written, I can get on board. Just not my ideal experience.
Same
I mean we have on foreigner and one native so we have the best of both worlds, really.
I'm not mad about Yusuke because he was black but how does the one big black guy in Japan stay hidden and assassinate people around all these Japanese people? Are we seriously gonna believe he can blend with the crowd and stay hidden? You see the photos of NBA stars in china and they stick out like a sore thumb. If Yusuke was a side character who was Oda's bodyguard and taught you how to fight then would have been no problem. Just makes no sense to have him be the MC in an ASSASSIN's creed game.
Exactly. This shit is just immersion breaking
Sorry, but was it a black samurai? 😂😂 OMG
They existed
@ryanloveless3870 one existed and he wasn't a samurai he was a sword bearer
He wasn't a samurai in history.
@@ryanloveless3870No, they didn't. He was a slave who became a retainer for Oda. He wasn't a samurai no matter how much you stretch the definition.
@@65fireredyou’re all over the place this must be extremely important to you
Looks really good. I’m hyped for a black samurai and the different story that can tell. It’s Ubisoft tho…so we shall see.
Ubisoft quite literally spat at the faces of every Japanese gamer.
Yes by having a person Japan has built literal statues of be a character …….he I wonder if you felt this way when he main character of Nioh was a blonde white guy??? ……I’m assuming you were fine with that huh??? How about “the last samurai “……bet you were just fine with that as well huh……damn man , maybe you’re just a racist lol
Me being like omg a new Luke video, then realizing I was there and even superchatted. Still liked it tho
Luke, I feel the same way about the Feudal Japan setting like you feel about Ancient Egypt! I am obsessed with that time period in Japan's history. Hell! I just like all things Japanese tbh
This will be more of an african setting trust me
@@rodneydelboy6910 what do you mean?
@@MetalPhantomXhe’s being racist and political. Don’t mind him.
@producedagains808 thats just uncalled for then
@@producedagains808 you're saying it like it's a bad thing
Luke, this is all cinematic no actual gameplay, something’s I have learned from my previous preorders for example Anthem, is that cinematics may look good but actual gameplay may differ, I’m not a advocate for anti consumer practices. Ubisoft like EA have the same basic principles, take money now, fix game later. Sorry but no amount of trailers will redeem their bad business practices.
if there is no story or historical reason for the black guy and the Strong women than this is just DEI shit. sad that this is the first thing that comes to mind...
i always liked a cool female protagonist but these days it feels like an agenda not as an actual thought out character.
2:54 the music is so unfitting what the hell...
why the hell can you not have one character with 2 skill trees? one samurai one shinobi... sounds like an excuse.
Well we know the guy is based off Yasuke and the girl seems to be based off a historical figure too
Yasuke was real black dude who fought for Nobunaga.
Naoe is the daughter of a real dude who was a Shinobi.
The characters are perfectly justified.
Your use of "those people can go dry up" was magnificent. I'm stealing that.
I’ll wait to see gameplay before making a decision. Last Creed game I bought was Odyssey, for $40.
I replay odyssey like every 1-2 years that game is underrated.
Let's go!! Im hyped!
In the mid-16th century, Africans arrived in Japan alongside Europeans as servants and slaves. Yasuke, an African man, possibly from Mozambique, arrived in Japan in the late-16th century alongside Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano. He found favor with Oda Nobunaga, the daimyō and warlord, and ultimately became his retainer.

I don't know why I'm reading this comment section. I can feel my brain rotting while doing it.
Pretty funny how people are complaining that they didn’t use a historical character when he quite literally a historical character while none of the previous AC actually had a historical character. Then there’s people saying “well he wasn’t actually a Samurai”…. Assassins creed constantly sacrifices historical accuracy for the sake of Narrative. I doubt any of these people actually played any of the games.
Don't pretend it's nothing more than meeting diversity metrics. "It's historical" is cope, because as you're saying the games constantly snub history, yet we are meant to believe the one historical black person is them being genuine fans of history compared to SBI or the like? Come on. You realise that's not true.
I think you are confused a bit. People actually complain whether the guy was a Samurai and not just a servant and 2nd, why the choose this particular historical character when in the past NONE of the protagonist was historical figure.
My guess: Ubisoft tries to stand out from the crowd of Ghost of Tsushima and Ronin AND it's marketing. It's been a looooonggg time since they had a black protagonist and it was about time to bring one back in ;)
They didn't need to change history to make him an Assassin. That's the problem, they are altering history for politics, it has nothing to do with what makes sense for the narrative. It even seems they aren't acknowledging that he was a slave and wouldn't be treated well which is counter to what they have done before with Freedom Cry and Liberation.
NOTHING you said was relevant. Everyone understands that this is nothing more than a badly veiled attempt at DEI. Historical or not, there are hundreds of stories to be told about Japan, using thousands of characters, yet they chose a black guy?! Yeah.... f*** off....
@@PytorDukiv People are only mad he's a black man. Let's not pretend that's not what it is. A tale as old as time.
It seems to me like it'll be dangerously close to just a reskin of AC Syndicate with a big burly fighter dude, and a stealthy girl. And I'm not sure how to feel about that.
There's a third category of people who have a problem with the character choice. People are suggesting that any criticism is rooted in racism, but it isn't. William was the protagonist of Nioh, and that was weird at the time too.
With Yasuke, it doesn't matter that he was a historical figure. He should be in the game, but the player should be experiencing the game through the eyes of two Japanese protagonists... like Ubisoft has done for literally every other Assassin's Creed game ever. Until now. When they can stealth in a token character. It's absolutely a diversity pick. In any other time period, it would be a cool choice. But not right now. It's painfully fourth wall breaking.
But Ubisoft will never admit that they only picked him because he's black. That's 100% why they did. But the will never admit it. And token characters aren't ever a great idea.
It’s been said time and time again that he’s most likely going to be the melee character, my god at least wait until it’s out to get upset.
I think it’s because there are unfortunately some people that are racist and are upset since they’re racist fr (not everyone is ofc) but there’s definitely a subsection of people where say if Freedom Cry was released today, even though it was a dlc, they would freak out
@@KrimsonDragoon That's fair. I've never had a problem with any AC protagonist until now. And my problem can be summed up as: "Why is a native Japanese duo not good enough?"
There are lots of answers to that question. And many of them are very valid. Exploring a culture through the eyes of an outsider can be interesting. But the choice to do it when people have waited so long for AC to be set in Japan just leaves a sour taste. Like they are snubbing some part of Japanese culture to make this happen.
To be clear, again, that might not be the case; I'm saying it feels that way, subjectively. I'm genuinely glad for people who can just enjoy the game.
@@Velarieth I get it but at the same time we’ve seen something similar with Revelations and 4 in terms of playing as people not native to the areas, like I get the concern but if they can execute it right like those games did I think we could be in for a treat especially since this time he’s based off an actual historical figure, as is the girl apparently
I think it would be better if Yasuke was introduced as a playable character for a dlc and use him as a notable npc figure who helps the cause. But I think your comment it literally the first one I’ve seen that isn’t trying to trash talk and call him a slave or a pet.
Pass.

I cant believe that they chose to make a game based on the legendary Oda Nobunaga's weapons bearer and they make him into samurai.
"Why make a game on a guy who united Japan the first time? Let us skip that. Let us make a game on that guy's black weapons bearer. Let us also do a bit of history revisionism and make it seem like Oda was helpless and couldn't do anything without the black guy" - Ubisoft with some external narrative building team.
Wasn’t yasuke a glorified court jester?
templar propaganda
Yes a glorified court jester was given the rank of retainer (I swear to god you idiots don’t understand the importance of that title) to oda fucking Nobunaga . Along with the duty of personal body guard , while being allowed to carry swords in the fucking warring states period…….Jesus Christ go read a bit of actual history.
If your court jester runs off to fight the enemy army for hours to protect your eldest son after you're assassinated.

Not saying black protagonists are overdone but for real Asian men are vastly under represented in media…like this wasn’t the game to do this Ubisoft…
I feel it’s on the upturn depending on the region of Asia like East Asia isn’t looking bad rn, Yakuza series been going strong for years, Judgment series, Ghost Of Tsushima, there’s always room for more but on the bright side I’d say East Asia is way more represented than the rest of Asia
@@KrimsonDragoon my main complaint is western entertainment only focusing on a certain ethnic group when trying to “diversify” media. There are more types of ethnic people than just African Americans and it’s just a shame that whenever diversity is pushed into a franchise it usually just results in a black protagonist.
Sleeping Dogs, Yakuza, Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin, Sekiro, SIFU etc.
I think they're doing just fine.
@@maniester9914 you mentioned a really old game, two games developed by eastern developers, and only two other games with Asian protagonists one of which is a short indie game…I could list you hundreds of games with black protagonists but not Asian ones…what’s your problem? Are you a bigot or something? Like why are you so butthurt that people want more diversity than just African American protagonists. Also Rise of the Ronin sucked
@@Pe37777 I want to see more content based in other parts of Asia and Africa. Also this is like the second time they ever used an African who is from Africa rather than using an American
I won't lie. That was a pretty dope cinematic trailer.
As someone who was looking forward to the “feudal Japan” AC game for forever. No it’s wasn’t. It was meh at best. It definitely feels like a game studio in Europe made this game.
@@basementality4924 what makes it mid? My only problem is having a black samurai.
@@basementality4924 interesting take
@@basementality4924let the man enjoy the trailer lol
Naoe has "drip" she looks like an assassin in an assassin's creed game. Which is nice to see for once in the 2020's
if the game was set in Japan, wouldn't it make sense to make the main character to be an actual Japanese?
I mean one of the two main characters is japanese. But I guess it doesn't count because sexism. 🫠
Just like it would’ve made sense to have the game set in Turkey star a Turkish man and not an Italian?
@@wintersong2266 You don't make sense she is the right representation for a game in a japanese setting so it will make sense for the MC to be japanese but putting a Male Black MC in a japanese setting is stupid like would it make sense if we put a White American as a MC in an Assassins creed set in Africa? there will be a african Female MC also?
@@dennispatel3188 I mean one of the two protagonists for the American Revolution game was an European. For the the game set in Turkey we had an Italian. And for the game set in Anglo-Saxon England we had a Norwegian.
@@KrimsonDragoonlook at a map and see how far Italy is from turkey, now look at how far japan is from Africa
Instead of john blackthorne they gave us john blackwashed
Did you know James Clavell *also* based John Blackthorn on a real English navigator that was shipwrecked in Japan in the early 1600's? William Adams really did know and advise the man that became Shogun irl - Tokugawa Ieyasu. If you were going for genuine historical interest in gaijin that visited fuedal Japan. Just like the guy Ubisoft picked to be their melee protagonist. Who really cares? To feudal Japan, gaijin was gaijin - no matter skin color.
@@bigskypioneer1898had they made blackthorne the protag of this game none of these people would be mad. It’s all just racism veiled as fake cultural outrage
@@bigskypioneer1898 dont know... dont care... never gonna buy this game anyway, just gonna wait untill it cracked XD
Yasuke was a servent , his job was to bring his master dinner and whisky and some times to do some slap stick comedy, I should know.
I was trying so hard to stay optimistic
When did people forget that games for the past 15 years have come out with bonus editions that give you more missions, season pass, etc. for more money?
When I think of feudal Japan a big black dude and a petite woman instantly come to mind.
When I think of fudal Japan a blonde haired blue eyed white guy is the first thing I think of (Nioh btw) ……kinda weird how you were fine with that hit have a problem with this…..gee I wonder what the difference is for you……
@@mookiestewart3776 Chill dude, it was obviously a joke. I haven't even played Nioh. You clearly missed my point.
In a way I think the premise of this game could’ve worked if we were playing both The Corrupted Samurai Templar & The Assassin Ninja seeking revenge for her village being sacked. And then you would decide who lives in the final confrontation.
If what Griffin Gaming said is true, about how Yasuke wasnt really a real samurai and he was only presented as such as literally just a joke by the japanese; then Ubisoft has really fallen short of their "historical accuracy" claims
There's aliens, a magic apple, and mythical creatures in these games.
You using griffin as a source and not any of the other UA-camrs who actually have videos on Yasuke? And no none of them really state he was samurai but they don't spout the claims Yasuke was used as a joke. They go more in depth on how Nobunaga actually used him. The thought that he was just used as a joke in a half truth that is being pushed by racists to make it seem like that's all he was. Griffin is not a reliable source for anything
@jonasking9587 yeah, yet none of that mystical creature BS was in the older games 💀 this has turned into pure fantasy now. It was originally based in pseudo-science (AC1)
@@Lyoko42o dude, just say you aren't happy cause it's a black guy.
"Pseudoscience" sounds even worse, imo.
@@Lyoko42o man the older games have bonafide wizard duels
