- Assassin's Creed Mirage finally has a proper gameplay demo showing off what assassins creed mirage is actually going to be like.
The original gameplay trailer for ac mirage that released a few weeks back did not impress me all that much but thanks to this assassins creed mirage gameplay demo most of my criticisms have disappeared.
Assassin's creed mirage genuinely looks fantastic but there are some minor issues i have with it.
These are my thoughts on that gameplay demo of assassin's creed Mirage

I kind dig this game. It feels the more AC then it has been in a long time. Last ones were Rogue and Unity. Syndicate was to Gimmicky, I just could get into Origins, Odyssey was annoying with a ok villain, and Valhalla was fun when I was raiding and burning down villages but not as fun being Assassin. Here is hoping this is good. I like Desert themed games so I might really like this one. Also Basims Assassine Robes in this game I really did them. The blue one not the red one shown is some promotional art. They really feel like they fit the setting. Like I can buy them blending in.
i'm actually excited to see what alternate outfits they will have for basim
i love his original robes though :D
The things I hate:-
1. The teleportation ability. Even with a teleportation ability it still look slow.
2. The wind effect during throwing a knife & using a sword.
3. Too slow to continue throwing a knife after an assasination. I wish that the movement is more quicker. Basim's movement looks too lazy, too chill when throwing a knife after an assassination.
I saw a comment about a hour ago point out that it looks like they weren’t using high profile for sprinting? There is a moment where basim speeds up significantly in the demo so maybe our movement speed increases throughout the game? That could be neat
@@JacksGameReviews 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you mentioned the blood, something about the red mixed with setting/lighting is great. I think if the teleportation thing is our biggest problem we might be alright.
Yeah, little worried about the combat but other than that and the teleportation stuff I think it looks great
Red dead 2 still has the most realistic blood I’ve ever seen in a game though :D
ubisoft never good in gore blood and ragdoll physics
the teleportation thing really took me out of that gameplay, idk I kind of imagine it would have been cooler if it was kind of like the fear takedown in arkham knight where time slows down and you see him move to the target enemies smoothly
Yeah fear takedown would of been great but I also wouldn’t be mad about being able to briefly slow down time instead so we do the triple kill ourselves with different tools etc
The devs went: “chaining these animations together is too hard and too much work, just have them blippity bloop between enemies and throw a blue light effect on it.”
@@DoubleU159 yeah and the devs should make the blue effect look glitchy to remind players that it looks he's teleporting is because that's how the Animus is rendering his speed
They could’ve just made the teleportation thing like the fear takedown in Arkham knight (with a slo mo / sped up kinda look). It’s literally the same concept except that it looks way more realistic
Yeah very similar to what everyone else is saying, I wouldn’t be opposed to being able to slow time down very briefly to manually assassinate the enemy’s ourselves rather than just pressing a single button and the game does it for you though!
@@JacksGameReviews Man, I think Valhalla wrote them in a corner with this one, as both Basim and his Isu version teleport. I elaborated on this point in a more verbose comment if you don't mind spoiling ACV for yourself, but the TL;DR is that everything points to this being the only superpower - because of Valhalla's events and potrayal of the character. And yes, I'll be very displeased if it isn't so.
It is kind of stupid that they didn't show the combat but they prioritize stealth which is probably why they didn't show it.
Yea def think it was intentional. These are the same folks who did Watchdogs
It’s just very odd, they showed everything apart from that which just seems sus ya know lmao
@@JacksGameReviews from what little they did show it looks like it’ll be good. They said Basim will be a glass canon and the combat likely uses the Valhalla/Origins system as a base it’ll probably be most similar to Unity. I say this as it looks like Unity’s system of parrying is somewhat coming back, but it’s improved. Instead of basically getting free attacks off a perfect parry like in unity from what we saw you get to either get a free kill, like in the counter-combat era of games where you parried and instantly killed an enemy, or could kick them which could have a variety of gameplay implications from taking them out of the fight to possibly being able to knock down enemies behind them should they fall into them or just simply use it to get an opening to escape. We also saw that certain armored enemies will be immune to attacks from the front, which will like incentivize dodging behind them, same with spearmen if they work exactly like Valhalla. I imagine from what we’ve seen there will be a small amount of enemies like the older titles but they have varied attacks also taken from Valhalla, like maybe the guardsman has the ability to throw dirt in your face like that one enemy in Valhalla can. I imagine there will be more than one faction so it’s possible that while we’ve only seen the Baghdad guards there could be a gang faction that acts similar to the bandit faction in Valhalla with shared archetypes across the factions but each one has differing abilities for those archetypes. That last one is just spitballing but with them using Valhalla as a base they’d have access to those things.
@@iterationfackshet1990 I enjoy ac origin combat because it was new from the previous ac games, I played that game at least three times and beat it three times but when Valhalla came out I enjoy that game also because even though the combat was the same as ac origin Valhalla was more brutal and the story wasn’t bad so that alone ( in my opinion) saved the game. Now this game is going to come out in couple months but they said “they’re going back to its roots” but the combat is still basically the same from the last two ac games I just mentioned, that’s why alot of OG assassin creed fans is pissed or upset because they lied to us… me personally I’m not buying this but everybody has their opinion of course
@@mgiebus1869 watchdogs legion is one of the worst games of the last 5 years.
Similar to Arno’s disguise and Evie’s invisibility regarding stealth, Assassin Focus (the teleport thing) is the Animus exaggerating Basim’s speed, as the devs said back in September he is canonically the fastest character in the series.
But I agree, it looks too “fantastical”. I would’ve preferred something like the multi fear takedown from the Arkham games, but I can live with this…
Yep, just feel like there is a much more interesting way of implementing that mechanic, hell why not remove the automatic triple kill and just allows us to slow down time for a brief period to assassinate them ourselves, that would equally show basims speed
@@JacksGameReviews Funny enough, that’s basically how it was presented originally in the cinematic trailer. I feel like that would’ve been perfect.
ahhh cinematic trailers
the ultimate marketing lie :D
@@JacksGameReviewsI'm pretty sure the teleport kill is lifted from shadow of war..
I think if it was done how it was in the trailer it’d look janky as hell outside of times where the enemies are extremely clustered together like in the trailer. The teleport was clearly done for time saving but at least they are sticking with what the old games did by using the sci fi elements of the series instead of using magic or some shit.
One thing I feel nobody has noticed is that every single time they do parkour in the video, it is never at Basim’s full speed. In Valhalla you could jog forward and still parkour, it’s the same for this game. Throughout 99% of the demonstration they never press the sprint button, HOWEVER, after Basim kills the guy who shoots down his bird, he crosses a rope with full speed, scales up a wall pretty fast, and runs foward on the roof stupidly quick. That run speed on the roof right there, IS the full speed on display, they just for some reason wanted to show it slowly first which I never understand why demonstrative videos like these do that but aye, just thought i’d point that out somewhere
true i definitely think we will be able to move much quicker than what was shown, they hyped it up a little too much but i may be wrong
@@JacksGameReviews Exactly how i’m feelin dude
With the teleporting they could've done something so Basim can lure the other 2 guards near the 1st one so he can do a triple assassination which would look similar to the cinematic trailer and more realistic
Exactly, I just think this was the easiest option which seems lazy, who knows maybe they have something up there sleeve we don’t know about
Jack! im back after a year from your Far Cry 3 video when you had 9k followers! youre at 20k now!!! woooo! congrats and keep it up! Good review bro!
Welcome back! Hope you had a good years Sketch :D
I was satisfied. I wasn't expecting perfection but was rather hoping for a step in the right direction. And it showcases just that. I'm just very sceptical about that teleportation assassin move.
But in the end, with the current assassin's creed track record, I guess I can live with that.
In the same boat, wasn’t happy with the original gameplay trailer but the demo made me a little less sceptical
I don’t think any UA-camr has mentioned the guy you can pickpocket at the end. I think he replenishes your tools like in ac1.
VERY good point, completely missed that
Possibly certain Npcs have more valuables to pickpocket so you get that pickpocket icon above them because some Npcs don’t have that at all
Would be pretty cool
I work with a guy called Basim, who is a really nice, but rather slow and vacant individual. Now when I see the name pop up, my brain immediately conjures an image of him with a perpetually confused expression on his face, rather than an elite uber assassin.. He's ruined it for me. Haha
They need to put a substitute ability for that teleport magic that is less sci-fi
Just let us slow down time briefly 💀 that’s what I’d want anyway
Honestly I like the slower (low profile) parkour I want to take my time getting from point a to b whilst still interracting with the environment
To be honest, I lost interest after Black Flag and Rogue. The buggy mess of Unity and the beautiful recreation of London in Syndicate failed to captivate me. In my opinion, the post-story content was not compelling enough to keep me playing. The presence of microtransactions in Origins really put me off, despite my enjoyment of its visual beauty. As for Odyssey, it felt lacking in substance and was more like a placeholder. I didn't even bother trying Valhalla as it didn't appeal to me. Therefore, I have no interest in Mirage. But of course, this is my opinion and you don't have to agree with it. It is what it is for me. It's very unfortunate because their recreation of the world is fantastic; it's just the interaction and storytelling within that world that fall short for me.
They lost me after Syndicate. I. Really into Sherlock and Peaky Blinders and stuff like that tho so... But gotta agree Origins and that whole RPG shift wasn't for me. Especially all the colored gear bs
Oh no i totally get that, even i was burnt out despite loving the franchise back in 2015, i enjoyed origins but it isn't what i wanted from the series and odyssey and valhalla just made it worse for me
Im just exicited to play something that somehwhat looks like what ive enjoyed in the past ya know, totally understand being done with the series though
Unity parkour is my favorite. And Unity is also my favorite and the best AC gameplay imo.
The ability is good i like it it is comfort exactly where it should be !
Fair play Dan At least some people like it :D hope you enjoy the game when it releases!
@@JacksGameReviews rather then going around and its time consuming like rdr2 looting. But i can understand that the visualization is maybe not really suitable, so yeah ubisoft can only do one thing right😂
Unity Parkour for sure. It's the best parkour in the series
The assassin focus I believe is a glitch in the animus. In AC1 there were parts where the animus would skip with the machine accelerating past useless periods of time. The assassin focus could be similar to this where it simply being explained as the animus fast forwarding that part of the memory, giving us a cool gameplay system with a well defined lore explanation.
i get that, it makes sense because of the animus but i think there is a much more interesting way of showing basims speed other than a automatic triple kill that requires you to press a single button ya know
Yea AC never did have good stealth, I'd say Unity's got the closest with all the gadgets, but it was pretty clunky to actually feel like a smooth assassin
I've tried many times to play ac games with just stealth but it just doesn't work well enough
i will say it looks like ubisoft have actually listened and messed with there AI systems abit so only time will tell :D
Yeah, remember when Altair & Ezio are using the teleportation skill? Imagine Basim using the exact same teleportation skill in modern days I know Basim is some sort of Loki and Eivor he can shoots laser from his chest using iron man armor and all that marvel sht. But, now Basim a speedster too?
Even when AC Mirage are using a new fresh character we will fall in love with him already but once that teleportation skill steps in? it can messed up all of your hard work Ubisoft. Don't make him wierdly invincible like Evie Frye too which is a good thing that you don't do that so far we can tell.
You see Assassin's Creed Sci-fi is a special kind of Sci-fi. There are limits to it that uniquely makes it a stand out franchise in the first place and that is what most people that bought Ubisoft excuses failed to understand.
it's not as simple as "well, then don't use it. well, then don't max out the level" and stuff like that. This is not some random sci-fi game. For some of us fans it's part of our chilhood history and core memory. If anyone trying to diss to what dearest to you what do you think you're gonna do? you definitely gonna do your dang best to protect it and stick with it.
This is not just some random game, some of us even pass language class, history class, we get to know historical people, historical places and all it's story within a game and get ahead of our class because of this franchise. This franchise has a potential to make us become a better person and not just for killing your precious time fighting giant monsters and after that OK I'm done, that was good.
After we finish an Assassin's Creed, we learn something precious & useful instead of wasting our time.
They ONLY turned it into a full game so they could charge full price. Don’t think for one second this game is going back to AC’s roots, it’s not. They make way too much money off their ludicrous character skins and weapons to abandon it.
Yet, they don't ask full price for it. New Ubi games are $70, this is $50. Smaller game, smaller budget, smaller price.
This to me is up to you your playstyle when it comes down to sneaking in a fortress if that's your playstyle go ahead but if you're more of a mercenary a combat type of player that loves combat but it seems like Assassin Creed fans are split down the middle with this type of stuff and some people don't know what going back to the roots mean I know they mean go back to sneaking into fortresses but if your playstyle the the way you usually play a game were you do not use sneaking then stop complaining about it please this game is using the old formula of things stop the capping just realize you got what you wanted it may not satisfy you that's what she said LOL but this is what you get but I get it you don't play like that
The parkour looks awful, I really wish they'd just give us some control. Everything else looks more than fine, its not amazing, but it's decent.
The gameplay looks good so far but the character models don’t look so good when it turns into cinematic,it looks cartoonish…Why would they downgrade the graphics in cinematic,doesn’t make any sense!
I still can't understand how the Parkour devolved in the recent ganes🤡
Best guess - it was too ambitious with all the flashy animations and moves and therefore - buggy. People forget what broken mess Unity was for about six months after its launch.
Either that or they were trying to simplify it for a more broader audience, which could not be bothered to learn more than two inputs for navigation :)
@@TheGameStarter ahhh well true that does make a lot of sense
I want mix of unity and origins which mirage did but the gameplay flow is still jarring not smooth
True, currently playing brotherhood and even then the animations aren’t as smooth as we remember, I think it’s just one of those compromises
Do you want movement that feels smooth to play or looks smooth for a demo I guess. Maybe I’m compromising but at least they didn’t jump off a building in the wrong direction :D
@@JacksGameReviews Still waiting for POP 08 sequel 😢
😂 you just can't please some people with Assassin's Creed going back to its roots with less combat with more strategic strategy approach people still aren't satisfied we want more sneaky approach last combat now people want more combat and less sneaking I'm for real some of these peoples playstyle don't match sneaking into a fortress you're no you're going to get caught you know you don't usually play like that I'm just being honest
Hard disagree on parkour. It does not look “realistic”. If you watch actual parkour artists do the same things, you see them flow, you see momentum being preserved. When you watch basim hop across beams, he almost stops on each one, just watch the camera. A real parkour artist doing the same move looks like they’re literally running across those beams, not hopping and stopping.
As someone who has played games like RDR2, TLOU series, this graphics isn’t doing it for me and neither is the combat system or even the parkour. Ubisoft rushes too much with its games.
Basic, hide in grass stealth, basic parry/stun/finish, basic character models. Looks like an old game.
You never beat Valhalla? What? A long game is a good thing. I know some people complain about the size of the map...but years ago, that's what fans were screaming for. Finish it haha
The combat looks like it might be similar to valhalla, the difference is you’ll die very easily
Just looks like valhalla hiding inside ac2’s formula. Doesn’t interest me
Except it doesn't, you're probably too naive to expect something huge from Ubisoft because this game was supposed to be a Valhalla DLC, yet they converted it into a seperate game, looks good for 50$
@@Krooks522 Everyone’s got their own opinions for sure
@@BaltazarRules8 You don't say anything out of the blue and then call it an 'opinion'.
Obviously it's gonna be similar to Valhalla jeez
sort of true, how much of ac2's formula will be the deciding factor on if people like it i think but it was meant to be a dlc.
Im excited for it but i'm also keeping my expectations in check
It is not teleportation really and it makes sence in cosideration of the animus. People often forget that Ac was a sci-fi action adventure since the first game. Saying that it doesnt belong in the game is ignoring the fact of the Ac lore. Or do i have to remind you of Ac1 when the animus voice said "fast forward to more reacent memories". The whole Assassin stuff is a simuöation rendered by the animus
It makes sense sure but for gameplay i think there was a better way of implementing that mechanic rather than getting a cheap and easy triple kill from one button ya know
Just kinda hope that if the modern day stuff creeps into the historical stuff that the modern day is actually worth playing this time
@@JacksGameReviews yes true mate im also not very pleased how it looks tbh. I won't use it much I think
Already lost after black flag, but came back cuz of origin. That one was a fresh experienced for me but lost again when the odyssey came out. I don't like how they handle the game like that, the quantity of contents are too much for me to handle and it's more tedious and repetitive than origins, if only they just release that game not undername of "Assassins Creed" it probably gonna be good game. Don't get me wrong, it is a good game but a bad "Assassins Creed" game. I'm not even touch Vallaha but I already now it was a bad "Assassins Creed" game. I got little interest on this Mirage but since the game was made for Valhalla DLC instead they made this as whole new game with full price (like they did on farcry 5) I can't blame myself for skeptical how bad this game will be. What I hate from this showcase is how they handle that basim's focus assassination badly, that teleportation jump is bs. If only they make it like simulating the assassination chain point first and then basim/player need to approach that assassination point manually before triggering chain assassination animation, that would be logical or make sense and that little lag/short teleportation can be explain as a lag from animus can't follow how fast basim move. Sorry if I can't explain it better since english wasn't my native language.
I think their faces in Mirage look worse in this one.
I don't know how many times I'm gonna have to say this for people. "The teleportation" is just visual effects. It's just baslm moving so fast that it looks like teleportation. If you've ever watched demons later you would know that the attacks are visual aspects.
It fits perfectly in an assassin game. It shows you how quick swift and calculated each kill is
There are so many things that do not belong in this game's story. They should have actually gotten a real Middle Easterner help with this, and I don't mean someone who came to the west from the Middle East but grew up here. I mean someone who actually knows the culture and laws of the land and follows them. Because all this super progressive bullshit like women being part of the Assasin group or actual Sub-Saharan Africans being there and being part of the group and area is ridiculous. This crap doesn't even fly in the Middle East today, and it certainly wouldn't have been ok the 900's. The women would be covered up and holding traditional women's roles. And Sub-Saharan Africans would have either been slaves or they would not welcome on their lands at all. They don't even allow that now let alone 1,000yrs ago. I'm so tired of Ubisoft and their fake Multicultural narrative that they post at the beginning or eveey game. It's total billshit. They're all people from the same California Naive Marxo-Dork culture with just different ethnic backgrounds...lol!
If this is set in the Middle East then make it like the Middle East. And the same goes for the last two games they made as well. They need to stop insulting other people's nationality and culture by creating this nonsense.
As. a gamer who's been playing games for a long time. I think going completely back to the roots would be too limiting.
I like the new assassination power. I know it's not that realistic but it brings more to table I think.
And let's be fair. AC has never been realistic. Eagle vision, leap of faith, climbing huge structures with no resting, assassinations from high distances that would break your leg if you actually tried to perform it. Tearing down wanted posters somehow making people forget who you are. Bleeding in with crowds though you clearly stand out. Not mention the pieces of Eden.
If it doesn’t have unity parkour I won’t care for it at all tbh
Nostalgia merchant
@@youssefbouaicha9961 it’s just facts man, Unity had the best parkour to date
While I kind of agree the reality is mirage is technically just a massive dlc unfortunately
I think if it sells well we could see another back to roots game built from a new engine but one can only hope
This opinion is what will kill this franchise. From the get-go we knew this game was originally a dlc for Valhalla that was given more time in the oven to almost completely remake Valhalla’s systems into something that at least will feel like Assassins Creed, and for what limited resources and how small the dev team is what they’ve done is simply amazing. No it won’t be as good as the old games, but it’s a step in the right direction and if we praise what we want and demand more Ubisoft will listen. That’s how we got the rpg trilogy, Ubi had them developed after hearing feedback from the community post-Unity about how it was dissatisfied with the classic gameplay loop, so they went towards the rpg formula.
I’m not going into mirage thinking it will be all the best games mashed together, I’m going in thinking they completely revamped Valhalla to strip it of its rpg mechanics and make it closer to the older games but at its base it’s still Valhalla. What I’ve seen so far has gotten me excited as it’s not only what I expected but it’s exceeded those expectations. Sure I’m not particularly thrilled that they didn’t even slightly alter Eivor’s animations to fit Basim or bring in either Odyssey’s or Bayek’s animations and alter those to make Basim look less like Eivor with a model swap but at the same time I understand where their priorities are. Their priorities are with the mechanics, gameplay loop, story, map, and modeling. Adding animation work on top of all that would be way more than this small team could handle in the timeframe they had, if they had more people or more time it could work but ultimately if reusing Eivor’s animations means that the underlying system feels better I’m okay with that. AC1 through the Ezio trilogy reused practically all the same animations, same with AC3, AC4 and Rogue, and the same is true of Unity and Syndicate. It’s not unique to Assassins Creed, hell Fromsoft used decade year old animations from demon souls in Elden Ring. What matters most for a game is it’s gameplay, because at the end of the day it’s a game.
What we want is not what we’ll get from Mirage, but Mirage is the game we need. It’s the game to show Ubisoft that the classic formula works and is profitable, because if it isn’t then Ubisoft won’t make AC games with the classic formula. It’s also the game us fans need because it’s going to hopefully teach the fanbase two things, to temper expectations and to continue to push for the classic formula. Only then will we have classic AC back.
@@iterationfackshet1990Your opinion Isn't good aswell. If we need to praise something that is just bare minimum to get ubisoft to make more actual assassin creed game then whats the point. If ubisoft doesn’t care about the game they should not make it.
