1:49 Is the fish on ice accurate 🤔 I mean how come they have ice at that time? I don't think they had refrigerator and they use to dry the meat to make it last longer mind you the smell also
mirage, I really like that they brought back the old robes and the tenants and councils and the ring finger sacrifice. I really love the old-school style. i am not saying the RPG games are bad but they shouldn't get the title of assassins creed
assassins creed in ancient rome, sad that they dont plan it anytime soon... we got egypt, greece, the last missing piece was rome, but instead they gave us some boring baghdad
I remain skeptical about AC Mirage since there was no gameplay. However, I will say this - that trailer took me STRAIGHT back to the first time watching the AC2 cinematic reveal trailer. It almost felt like they were purposefully mirroring that style of trailer, from AC2, brotherhood, so on. The focus on a single target, the acrobatic city traversal, the social stealth, culminating into the main character alone with their target... Gave me chills.
This is what AC has taught us, never judge a game from the reveal trailer, I'll consider it not as paying homage to 2 but instead manipulating nostalgia. Let me just say: My hype for new AC games has been pulled through the mud in the last couple of years
To me Mirage looks like a remake. They're approaching it that way because they are way too self aware if not. They showed quite literally every charming thing about the old games, even the little using the pot to turn corners around buildings parkour. Or well maybe they found and hired some AC purists and let Ubisoft know what the fans want. So they release Mirage which won't make them much money but will get everyone invested. So far it looks like good old AC. A fantastic cinematic trailer, old gameplay and the old vibe.
I'm most excited for Red. It would be cool if it had opposite social stealth to Valhalla. In Vallhalla, you put your hood up to cover your face, and cloak to cover your weapons. In actual history, Shinobi would dress like regular citizens and peasants to blend in so in the game you could uncover yourself from your mask/cowl/hood in order to look like a civilian to blend in, while still having a cloak to cover your weapons (as they would IRL)
That would actually be cool and I know it’s a game but it would feel more realistic because in real world someone with a hood or mask would be very sus
you are correct that shinobi (Depending on what era of Japan were talking about) did conduct espionage by dressing in Civilian clothing, and other disguises, including priests, entertainers, fortune tellers, merchants, rōnin, and monks. but being able to open carry swords and knifes wasn't prohibited until around 1588 during the "Sword Hunt" - stating that civilians that arn't in a military or samurai role couldn't carry weapons in public. i assume that assassins creed red is gonna take place way before 1588, most likely between the 4th - 15th century, so i would say that hiding weapons would be kinda redundant seeing as plenty of people likely carried swords back then. Shinobi also weren't just spies - depending on what era of japan they were assassins, body guards, mercenaries, etc. tbh according to history shinobi weren't really known as spies until the 16th century. I personally think that having a "cloak" in japan would probably be more suspicious than just wearing normal clothes with a sword or even assassin robes. they basically wore what fit their mission. if its infiltration in the dead of night, they would prefer black robes. if they were infiltrating a palace or area in the day they would dress in clothing that fit the environment. if they were guarding someone who hired them they would most likely dress like as a rōnin. In the 16th century during the waring period they were known to dress more like the type of ninja we see in Japanese folk tales and play's. their clothing, appearance, roles and skills throughout history has kinda been all over the place depending on the timeframe.
I would FULLY support if they separated into two teams, one focusing on classic style AC games and the other focusing on the newer style AC games. Or even if they just flip flopped back and forth. It would make sense to make multiple smaller classic style AC games and then every so often..maybe once every four years or so...put the money those games made into one big epic Action RPG in the style of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. That way we get what we want as classic fans AND the newer style AC games will always be huge, epic, well written, well thought out, ever better funded, games. A man can dream 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
thats what it starting to look like with mirage then assassins creed red a flipflop with the consul games i feel the mobile game might not do so good not everyone one got really good phones to handle gaming on there phone maybe if it was also available on pc
Unity had a good formula. It perfected the stealth and pakour. So one team doing stuff like that and another the RPG stuff will be amazing as I love both styles. I'm in both camps 😂
Hot take: I like all the forms of assassin's creed. The old games let me feel like badass, and the newer games let me be goofy with a small dose of badassery
I agree bro, the old fight mechanics and countering in the older AC games felt much more badass, but let's be honest you can't complain about the amount of content we get in these new games, games can cost an arm and a leg now days so I rather have more to explore and longer in the game.
Holy shit never thought id meet someone who has the same hot take lol i love the old games but also really enjoy the newer AC games too. Man there is even times when replaying the old games where they feel really dated but i mean there old af
My favorite is still Brotherhood. I did love the fact you can call in assassin's that can die and you had to level them up. It means you couldn't just send them in to kill everybody right away and they could clear out the enemies you didn't want to deal with. Admittedly, they were a little overpowered if you just timed when you triggered them but still it was great feeling like a true brotherhood.
For everyone curious about Hexe: The runes around the logo are from the magi alphabet and mean: "We work in the dark to serve the light" and "Mephisto Revenge House" which in a sentence could mean something like "Mephisto avenge our family". Mephisto is probably meant as the short form of Mephistopheles. He is the devil in Johann Georg Fausts saga. The name Hexe is german aswell. It means witch. From all that we can assume that it first of all will be set in Germany and second it will be around the witch trials. Everything matches together just fine. My guess is that we will play as a member of some occult group. Maybe even a witch :)
@HahaHaItsMe As someone who has took interest into History, I can say it most definitively is playing in the 16th century, I too couldn't think about another time when witchtrials where as big of a thing than in the early modern period. Sadly, germany isn't dug out that well, so it most probably won't be as accurate as some would like.
@@fr4rq236 What are you talking about? Germany was part of the Hapsburg Empire, there's plenty to grab for historical authenticity and historical accuracy in the 16th Century. What we won't get is to detail accuracy from all of the principalities that were in what is now modern day Germany, as many of those principalities had some distinct cultural forms of dress and traditions. Ubisoft is too lazy. They won't go that far. If we are talking 16th century, there's also a chance we will see some bleed over from the religious wars of that time. And the witch trials spread throughout multiple centuries, but I believe they reached their apex in the 16th Century in Europe. (Either that or the 17th).
@@beckyweiss6072 Though I get your point, I'd argue that because of the bombings of most german cities many of the old buildings were lost. Sadly, because of many regulations Archeology is really not that active in Germany, so many places have at best a map of it and that's the rare case
would love a setting early 1500's, during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire. Lot of good storylines, good scenery, pyramids, Aztecs, rainforest, etc..
I guess it could be really different, having in mind that the aztecs aren't in either of the games you just said. Even the scenario would be another one.
@@gary7867 No way man, it would be more into the homeland, less about a child that grew with the colonies, about a guard that trusted the spanish and was betrayed. Straight up AC Moctezuma would be beloved.
As a history buff I really appreciate that they're going back to the roots with Mirage. My favorites are AC1 and 2. I'm hoping Mirage will fit in well with the lore and the actual history of the Assassins.
@@theex-authoritarian3745 probably? You got a better chance of completing an at home gender reassignment with nothing but a youtube tutorial and hot nail then ubi does making a good game lol
@@theex-authoritarian3745 same I still play r6 all the time but even with that game that I love I take updates with a grain of salt lol and when you can't get updates right a full game is just beyond what they are capable of
Depends on what they mean by “back to the roots”. But yeah, the story-based semi-open world games were the best for sure. Maybe had less to do, but far more rewarding and interesting imo
Based off of the art style of Mirage, It reminds me a lot of AC Revelations with the markets and world design, and seeing as Revelations was my first AC game, I’m very excited to play something remotely similar to what I first saw when playing the game as an 8 year old way back in 2011.
Man, revelations was smack in the middle of the golden age of AC. They found their stride with AC2 and kept rolling until Black Flag, then went downhill from there.
@@user-su6wy3bj4v Completely agree. Revelations and brotherhood were my 2 most played AC's along with 3. Something about revelations MP was so much damn fun. The setting of that game was amazing also. Like you said they really found their stride in that Era. I hope they can replicate it again with the "pared down" version. I'd enjoy either style if it had MP. Although idk how the new games would work with the combat being so intricate.
@@user-su6wy3bj4v Honestly, the Ezio Trilogy - Black Flag was the franchise’s peak. I feel like after that a lot of the games were missing something or were too rushed to fit the regular release window, then they went too far in the wrong direction after Origins as it completely alienated what made the original AC games so recognisable and unique.
I’m actually pretty curious about Hexe. My guess is we’ll play as a person accused of witchcraft, saved and taken into the brotherhood. There are a lot of ways they can approach it really.
Idk much about the witch trials but one place I really wanted to see was Germany there’s so much you can do like imagine how many big cities I’m excited for hexe
@@lol_histicall4289 only story I know is on Saint Walpurga who warded off witches among other things and Hexenacht (Witch’s Night) was replaced with Walpurgisnacht. Doubt it’d have anything to do with that but I do hope it has something to do with Germany
I'm a big old school fan but I loved Odyssey and origins for 1) the setting. It just looked amazing and I love Egyptian and Greek mythology and 2) I enjoyed the things you can discover like the Medusa boss fight or the war elephants, they were extremely fun in my eyes
dude, the Odyssey broke the whole story/lore of AC that has been for years. You are suppose to get in a machine that can shows you the past, but in the game you have multiple choices. That makes 0 sense. The machine does not let you change the past rather than show you what happened. All the mythology and gods destroy makes no sense either. I do like greek and egyptian mythology, but it has nothing to do with the game fighting monster and magical stuff.
@@mrhenrik7472 Wym "nothing to do", Origins is literally the Origin of the brotherhood, the creed, the leap of faith, "hide in the shadows", the whole concept born from Bayek on his quest for vengeance. Odyssey was shit ngl
Been wanting a Japan based AC game since AC3, can’t believe they’re finally doing it. Also, Mirage has the chance to do something really special, I really hope Ubisoft doesn’t blow it.
Hi jake, just wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching this channel since the last few years and this channel has been my go to to make important decisions regarding buying a console or any video game so just wanted to say thank you for the content you and the guys at gameranx produce 🙌🏻
AC can, and does, work as an RPG. But, it should have kept more of the features of the traditional AC games. Like the stealth challenges (rather than out and out combat), desynchronisation requirements, and the focus on free-running.
What's wrong with just having both? I like both for different reasons. I think they should come out with two teams one working on open world new assassin's creed games and another team working on the older foundation formula. I played assassin's creed since assassin's Creed 2 released and although i love the original games i don't think it's possible to combine both and please both sides. Just have two teams working two different type of games
I’m excited for Mirage, I think it will be at least in the direction of the originals. Out of Red and Hexe I’m actually kind of excited for a darker hopefully spooky Hexe. As long as they keep it real and not fake magic.
Considering they used the term Hexe instead of Witch gives me a good feeling that they're gonna go very realistic about it. Also, secret orders and stuff where actually really central in europe back in that time. European witchhunt is a period of almost 800 years that partly still continues. The idea of good witches is VERY new to us and the idea of Satanists who aren't evil monsters is some weird american thing that barely anyone knows. Tell a german you're a satanist and you really gotta explain that you're not ritually murdering children because that assumption is the norm amongst both atheists and christians. We do have freedom of faith today but it's not exactly peaceful still. The game will probably gocus somewhere around the most formative years for the luciferian movement that created humanism to oppose religious insanity. And considering it's assassin's creed and technically still fictional, they can easily revive the histories of forbidden, secret religions and all the real secret stuff... I bet it will become a very interesting game.
I have been hooked on this series since the beginning. I love the original style of play but I also am also so immersed in exploring and experiencing the massive rpg style games. So I have room in my heart for both and this is exciting that they are trying to deliver an old school experience for us while still exploring the rpg in another theme. I already own every game in the series so I am curious to know more about the hub and what it brings to the long time fans who have been here
I’m in exactly the same boat as yourself, massive fan of the whole franchise since the beginning having played & owned every game myself, I’m excited to see what these future games of the franchise hold in store.
Yeah, I still prefer the classic games as far as the combat system, but I'm also digging exploring the open worlds of Origins, Odyssey and (soon to be played) Valhalla. It's a nice change because as much as I loved the classics, I'd gotten burned out by the time Unity came along. I went through Syndicate after a long hiatus and that reignited the fire to catch back up.
I'm the same... Love both styles and eventually I'll get through all of them. Just bought Valhalla Complete edition two weeks ago 64% off so now I have all of them. I think it'll be interesting to see where the games go from here and what stories they'll tell.
@@Joreel jeez if you’re only just starting *VALHALLA* & you enjoy it you’ll be busy for the next few months as it’s ridiculously huge with an insane amount of things to do. The base game I really enjoyed but the rest all the dlc’s are just ridiculous mythical crap & wasn’t in the least bit enjoyable to play.
@@MalikATL Its not about being forced to buy them its the fact you pay full price for a game I should have all the content it offers I shouldnt have to spend more on cooler outfits or weapons
I am so thrilled to be getting an old school "pared down" AC episode in Mirage. Being an unstoppable assassin with 4 buttons used to be so fun. But I really enjoy a lot of what AC has become, not to mention the "history mode" or whatever where you can learn actual history in a walkthrough is just *chef's kiss* for those of us who were always fans for the historical aspect.
Yeah I agree I am in both camps when it comes to AC but I do understand the series had to evolve somehow but honestly and this is just my opinion here I do think having 3 AC games that were primarily RPG games was a tad overkill to me odesey took it abit to far in my opinion however like I said I understand why they made that decision it just didn’t feel fun after awhille
@@joehobbs3277 I honestly wouldn't mind them alternating. So every other release would be rpg openworld. Then the next release would be stealth based, linear story. I also am in both camps I miss the old-school ones but boy do I enjoy a good rpg.
I personally like both. I’m a bit more of a fan for open world since I love exploring in stuff (why I like Elder Scroll and new AC). But a good story would be nice since I adore the Ezio games.
Hm? Do you mean the RPG games with your second sentence? All main AC games are open-world. And yeah I hope for a good story for future games because the story and the parkour of the older games was the main reason I adored Assassin's Creed. At the moment, the new Assassin's Creed games are meh in my opinion. I do like exploring the world, but at some point everywhere in the world feels the same.
@@malheia true to a degree its more so that the new rpg's have a higher level of freedom in-game paired with less load screens on travel from location to location ( excluding fast travel)
@@ethanbunton8495 yeah they're all open-worlds except that the technology has improved through the years to make loading seem more seamless. It also depends on the machine you're running on. My PC is pretty good but not as powerful as the new gen consoles so I do get pretty annoying and weird frozen loading screens during gameplay when riding a horse in the new games. To be honest, I prefer the older style of open-world, and by that I mean Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 - this might be a hot take. It feels more focused to be honest, and a game doesn't always have to be so open. However, if Assassin's Creed open worlds were like Ghost of Tsushima (and better) then it would be a different case.
I share love for both the branches of Assassins Creed games, but I never thought they would pivot back to the old style, so I'm really looking forward to some gameplay from Mirage. Also, Red looks really cool just because it's Feudal Japan, but Hexe is giving me some Dishonored vibes... and I fricking love it!
I'm an old school fan and like both branches too. The old school games where great especially 2 and Brotherhood. I don't think I've played an ac game I don't like yet. I'm looking forward to Ubisoft mixing it up a bit by going old school with mirage and also making future rpg style titles
All I need for them to do is bring the parry back, that was one of the most important parts of the combat mechanism in the original games, they can keep everything they are doing, but the counter parry attacks need to be brought back most definitely. I haven't played one since the Origins game due to the missing parry
hopefully the parry will work like it did in Origins. Parry insta killing made the old combat to brain dead and hopefully it doesnt go back to mindless button mashing
@@skizecraft I feel like the random button pressing is exactly what's promoted in origins, that's what the newer combat mechanism leads to. The insta killing is what made assassin's Creed, without it u weren't going to make it. I don't have a problem with the button presser mechanics because I'm not a button presser I know exactly what I'm doing, but the instakills as u call it,most definitely need to be brought back, that's assassin's Creed
I'm in the old school group but I really love how they still expanded the open world gameplay with Origins but still kept most of the original feel and mechanics of the originals. Mirage looks like it'll go back to that. They took so much out of Odyssey and Valhalla. Looking forward to AC Mirage.
Yeah I don't understand why your mindset isn't the normal one I don't get why they just can't do a big open world with old school gameplay other then it's hard to sell microtransactioms when you can't sell time-savers constantly
I'm newschool group, but I'm an og ac player. My favorite are the big 3 Origins Odyssey and Valhalla. But I beat most ac games when they came out. 1, 2, brotherhood, revelations, and 3. But i didn't beat black flag, Unity, or Syndicate. I didn't find them as interesting as the big 3 or ac 1 or the Ezio trilogy.
@@afrothe8th I wanna like the new games I just hate the system of leveling it just ruins the experience for me when you hit that point of grind for a good bit or buy dlc
You actually need to have brain damage to think Origins is anything close to the feel of the original games. Zero stealth. Button mash enemies that teleport. Virtually zero assassinations… in a game about assassins. Terrible RPG mechanics. List goes one for a very long time.
@@DeShawnMcDonald I feel you, sometimes I'm like damn these games too fucking long😂. But I love them cuz me personally I don't want to beat the game in a few days, I'll be bored as hell after.
This was much needed haha, thank you. I heard they were stepping away from the leveling system, and I definitely prefer the classics style. And I cannot wait for Mirage, I love the architecture style
@@funrsguysandmore you are in the minority then man, most OG AC fans hate the new formula. It just doesn’t feel like Assassin’s Creed and the stories were weak
I really like the idea of having 2 different paths for the AC games, 1 going down the original style of gameplay and 1 being the open world games we've come to know. I REALLY enjoy the new ones, but when I play them I certainly miss the old style.
I’m curious what do you like about them? Because for me the gameplay is super stiff, the animations and production is unrefined and the story is uninteresting. I thought ancient Egypt was a super cool place to explore but I never finished the game because the story was too weak and I got enough of the gameplay. Don’t take this as an insult, I’d just to know is what you really liked is exactly what I don’t lol.
@@NormanWasHere452 I mean can't answe for the author but I like both styles because they're just different games. In general I like stealth based games like the "old" styles (but let's be honest, they had their problems too, with some repetative gameplay and while I loved AC Brotherhood dearly if I ever have to se a da Vinci's machine or god forbid pilot it I will just quit the game) and I like open world rpgs. The newer games are not perfect - they worlds are too large, the writing is uneven (but Origins and first half of Odyssey for me were pretty good plot-wise, I'd even say Origins is up there for me as one of the best games in AC series) - but they exploration for the most pasrt is fun (again, until hitting the problem of too large worlds with too little to do), the plot is decent (it's not Ezio but not all old AC games were really all that interesting for me, it depended on title) and it's just kind of enjoyable in a way I can't really describe but I think is mostly summed up by how much you enjoy just vibing and roleplaying in open worlds. Granted they had a lot of problems but they are, generally, improving. Like the old AC games did - how AC 2 fixed the AC1s repetative missions etc. I think it boils down to what types of games you typically like. I enjoy big, sprawling rpgs (more fantasy oriented but you know the drill, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Witcher...) and I enjoy stealth, plot focused ones (older AC, Dishonored, etc.). So both types fit in with what I like.
@@NormanWasHere452 the amount of content and the beautiful open world is what I like I also like them going more in depth with the isu story because to me the old style games are just so repetitive with the order and the assassins
Mirage and Hexe sound the most intriguing to me. If they end up following the formula of the older games for these two then it might be enough to bring me back to the franchise. I played Origins, but fell out after that and didn't bother with Odyssey or Valhalla. Red looks cool, but if it follows the gameplay of Origins and the ones following that game then I'll pass.
Open your mind odyssey is worth every second I beat the game and all its dlc clicking in almost 400 hours never got bored I'm even replaying the game from scratch with another 17 hours played in my 2nd run beautiful world fun and actually interesting characters awesome weapons bad guys plot twists not to mention sailing the seas is awesome and the dlc is pretty great too not really the Persian dlc but the mythological dlc that takes you to elysium hades and Atlantis ps pick kassandra better voice acting than alexios
Many of us wanted a classical assassin experience, their is nothing wrong with newer versions like Valhalla, it’s just many of us still want the hoods, blades, assassinations. If they could continue making games like mirage on the caliper of Valhalla many of us fans would enjoy.
Hexe sounds cool asf, I'm super excited for it. Seeing how scary and mysterious the evil sacrificial places in AC valhalla were, I think they could make Hexe an amazing experience. Mirage sounds fun and looks amazing, I'm excited to play that one. Hopefully it brings us back to a same feeling as revelations. I hope code red turns out good too, but we've waited for so long. I think they're only doing it cause tsushima did so well, hopefully they make it it's own experience. Infinite sounds like an easy money grab just sayin.
I really hope hexe is set during 30 years war and we get to see Gustav II shine as lion from the north. Definitely one of the better settings for assassins creed
Hexe has multiple opportunities for expansions sequels and even a return to North America during the Salem witch trials close to Connors timeline for dlc
@@OceanBloke your point is? Think of the line of assassin's reaching that point it'd be much closer to Connor, Edward, shay and Achilles storylines and time then anything else is all I'm saying. It'd be colonial America and a god opportunity to visit the world of ac3 with current tech and mix elements of horror survival with the current ac formulas... The options are numerous if executed properly 👍👍
I'm one of those weird people who likes both old and new styles of AC games so I'm excited for all of these! also I think I saw some corrections on the pronunciation of "Hexe" in some videos so worth checking out more about it
I've played all of them, started with brotherhood as of now origins is currently my fave followed by syndicate and 3. I have yet to play Valhalla because I have the ps5 disk and no ps5 yet.
@@magnusbaier7633 Odyssey is my favorite AC game besides Black Flag. I put over 150 hours into that masterpiece and I don't regret it. I love going back to all of the screen shots I took, the game is soooo beautiful and detailed.
odyssey brought me back to the series, I love the lore behind ancient Greece and throwing assassins creed in there sold it for me, I just wished they strayed from the rpg combat because at times it seemed less like assassins creed with the stats and such but it is still one of my favorite assassin's creed games ever. hopefully mirage and codename red are good because I'm definitely interested
Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Rogue are the most underrated AC games ever tbh. I can see why people don't really like Odyssey but whether people liked it or no, it can still be really enjoyable if you stick with it. Also Unity has honestly became overrated at this point. I first played it after the majority of the bugs were fixed and before i even knew about it failing so badly but even so, i still didnt enjoy the game much at all and it confuses me when people love Unity but hate Syndicate because Syndicate is really just a more polished and actually finished version of Unity but with a better setting and story imo, although i do live in the uk so i am a bit bias with syndicate and valhalla tbf
@@Belle75468 literally. I tried so hard to get through Odyssey by suspending my old school lens but it just felt like an incredibly shitty attempt at mimicking the success of games like the witcher. It takes the worst aspects from a bad rpg and just dumps microtransactions on top of it. I think the worst part is that it definitely has the formula for a good rpg game but it piggybacks off of the established succes of ac. funnily enough I actually enjoyed origins, it played as a good middle child but the latter 2 of the trilogy are bogus
I personally have been waiting on a shinobi style AC! Open World Japan sounds really appealing to me. My only issue is Ubisoft has a tendency to be redundant with their missions and that could cause the dreaded burnout affect
I have a fascination with Japan, both historic & modern. Throw that into Assassin's Creed, my favorite game ever, & I expect to be unimaginably happy when this drops. My only worry is that they have Ubisoft Quebec on the project. They did Syndicate & Odyssey. Both are decent games, but neither are the best in the series. In fact, they're probably the worst ones in each type of game. For the old narrative driven style, Syndicate was the worst. For the rpg style, Odyssey was the worst. This worries me greatly.
I have been longing for an AC feudal japan game for sooooo long, but it saddens me to hear that it's gonna be in the new style. I think it's mainly the OG fans who wanted feudal japan, and it would have been better to make the game more oldschool.
@@asgerknudsen9069 You can play it on PC with a PS Plus Premium subscription. But you do actually need a DS4 controller and a good internet connection.

OG player here but I wouldn’t want red in the old style. After playing ghost it would turn me off if the open world was narrowed to just story driven content.
I’ve been a die hard fan of AC since the start and I really enjoy both formats: the old school, linear story play and the 3 (so far) open world RPG-style ones but I get that not everyone does. However, it isn’t just the new recruits that love the RPG’s. I’m the most excited for Red - maybe because I keep going back to Ghost of Tsushima even though I finished it quite a while ago. That little cinematic teaser felt like it was for an epic and gorgeous game a la Tsushima. Plus, I spent my childhood dreaming of being a samurai warrior princess so it’s like I don’t have a choice but to jones for this game. I’m praying it’s good but in the meantime I’m ready for some more Basim!
Also looking forward to Red. I know we get a lot of these feudal japan ninja/samurai games, but gosh darnit I want MORE! Ghost of Tsushima, Ninja Gaiden, Sekiro, Nioh....it's not enough! MORE! lol
I loved all their teasers tbh. But I've always had a thing for horror, sorcery and all that stuff, so Hexe is the most appealing to me 😍 really excited for it
As a German I really look forward for a game based in the Holy Roman Empire. I was worried that whenever they'd do a German based AC that they would pick WW1 or WW2, specially after Unity and Syndicate but going back in time makes me so happy. There is so much history in Germany and most people even here don't know what Germany was before the German empire. Looking forward for that one.
Also as a heads up, watch the music video for "Deutschland" from Rammstein. There are some clips from the time of witch hunts in there and some other dark grim times. Perfect setting for assassin's Creed.
I love both the new and old Assassin Creed games. Im a big RPG fan and am glad they chose to go that route with massive worlds and things to do, but i love the older games too and glad to see Mirage coming next year.
This used to be my favorite series. I'm one of the weirdos who got all the achievements in AC1, with my man the under appreciated Altair, tracking down seven million flags. That was fun for me, I loved it. AC2, an upgrade to what I loved. I don't know what the hell is going on now, but I don't even consider it Assassin's Creed anymore. And there used to be a saying, "Quality over quantity." Oh well, Ghost of Tsushima was fucking incredible!
I 100% black flag and I gave up playing AC after syndicate. I want to play red, but likely won’t be able to… but yeah, AC was better imo when it wasn’t massive.
I’m really looking forward to Mirage as it’s supposed to be a back to basics. I enjoyed the new big three, but the older ones are my favorites and hold a special place in my heart.
I loved the last trilogy that came out but mirage is seriously great news to me!! I really miss the overall theme of the older games. And codename hexe and red has me hyped!
@@MR_IceBlood thats what it seems like, i hope that its a blend of both styles, not just bigger numbers better character but like really unique gear that you can use while being open like the later 3. either way regardless of how they do it I'll still play the heck out of it because im a hopeless weeb for games that let me be a ninja XD
@@drunkenmoken yeah it will have to be great ghost of Tsushima 2 will come around the same time and also in Japan and ghost of Tsushima was really good it feels more like a ac game but also not if you know what I mean
I wonder how when the topic of multiplayer in assassins creed was talked about here, the old multiplayer modes like in brotherhood or revelations were mentioned but the possibility of ubisoft actually being able to see that unity's multiplayer was a fucking fantastic idea and maybe planning to create a similar and hopefully improved version of this in future games wasn't mentioned. Being able to play an AC game coop would, alongside them returning to the old style for a change, be a big reason for me to buy an AC game again. Unity undoubtedly did a lot of things wrong and was not the optimal experience but I never understood how ubisoft seemingly got out of the bad reception of the game that the coop mode sucked, the coop in the game is probably one of THE reasons why the game was still so fun to play.
Got to say I’m pretty excited for all of these. Definitely want Mirage to turn out how I’m imagining but also really digging the “hex” vibe. Then again… A Hidden blade aaaaand a Katana?!? This one is hard
I like the old school games, and I like the open world too. Valhalla was a bit of a letdown for me, especially as a Viking descendant. It just didn't do as much as Origins and Odyssey.
I enjoy both type of AC game styles, the problem with the RPG ones is that they overstay their welcome, I played like 80 hours of Valhalla and wasn’t even close to beating the game, and the story began to be less and less interesting, a 50 hour main campaign should be enough people have lives and I don’t wanna be playing one game for the entire year
U hit the nail on the head. I dont mind the RPG AC games but like u said they're just way too long and stuffed with filler. The old games, even longer ones like Unity, i used to play for a month or 2, be able to do everything and see everything and leave feeling satisfied. These new ones become tedious fairly early on, even Origins took me around 200hrs and that is supposedly the shortest one of the 3!
@@Frost4Real yes and you are talking about only the main campaign, Odyssey was the worst because it basically forced you to do all boring side missions because you had to reach a specific level to be able to move forward with the story… And the story was not interesting at all (the ending was basically having dinner with your family 😏) Ubisoft needs to hire better script writers and better editors. Far Cry 3 which was a great game had a 25-30 hour campaign at the most…
Yeah, I actually walked away from Oddysey because I was just so burned out from it, I had already played for over 40 hours and the story wasn’t even starting yet. Don’t even want to play Valhalla because of the same reason.
@@marklevy1785 Yeah in fairness to Origins, that 200hrs was me platinuming the game, and it is definitely the best of the 3 RPG games. Like u guys have said about Odyssey and Valhalla, I'm cautious to even play them cos of how much time I'll need to invest.
@@SnaggingRaccoon Valhalla is a little bit better in that it doesn’t force you to do side missions in order to advance the story, but even so I believe it is even longer (albeit better story) it seems that the game never ends
I'm interested in all their projects. AC games always struck a cord with me because I am a history nerd. I remember I wouldn't study at school for my history classes but then I would sit on my PC and read animus entries on AC2 and AC Brotherhood after school. I like the new AC rpg focused games but the previous titles had this something... probably nostalgia idk. Anyways I'm excited for AC Mirage. It's very reminiscent of the first AC, it gives off the same vibes, being set in a more arabic eastern environment. AC codename red is very promising, I remeber a good 10 years ago me and my mates from school who also played AC would gather and talk about how cool it would be if we got like a feudal japan AC so yay! AC codename hexe sounds promising as well. I'm up for spooky witch hunts and like a very dark occult setting in central europe. Hopefully Ubisoft doesn't deliver a rushed, broken product. They do this a lot lately so they should take their time and make sure those games come out at their best state possible on day 1.
I, for one, am excited to see what Ubi can do with a city setting, after all they've learned about open world games from the trilogy. Stoked for both that and Red
I've been a fan from the beginning and while I like certain aspects of the old school games, Valhalla and Odyssey are both amazing. Valhalla's combat and loot/gear system was pretty much perfect. My biggest gripe about Odyssey was the overwhelming loot and upgrading, but Valhalla fixed that by making way fewer armor and weapon options that you could focus on improving based on your play style. I hope that gear system sticks around for these upcoming titles.
The sword in code red looks to be Wakizashi a slightly shorter sword more akin too close quarter combat than the Katana. I've some experience with both swords and the hilt & blade in the animation is a bit short for a Katana. It's also unusual for such a sword to be carried by a non samurai in ancient Japan as they were bloody expensive. Of course due to the popularity of Katana in modern fiction they might use one anyway and the ratios in the image could be off a bit. Regardless of which sword, I'm really looking forward to it. Watashi wa sekkachidesu.
I use shar p shit too! U forgot to mention how actually difficult it is to just pick up a sword of any random type and just be proficient with that hoe.
I was thinking the same thing, Wakazashi’s were also terribly expensive but you’d be more likely to see a nonSamurai wielding one. Furthermore, newer fantasy style games like Ghost of Tsushima and Mortal Kombat suggest this smaller sword as being an item for less honorable activities (such as assassinations)
Seeing as this title will probably be an rpg like Valhalla, you’re most likely going to be playing as a samurai. I personally think leaning into the ninja side would work better as this is Assassins Creed but oh well. Cool info btw!
Samurai and Ninjas were often the same. A samurai could be a ninja. A ninja isnt just some guy is black clothes doing sneaky stuff. Its all about espionage and spy stuff. Many samurai had to partake in ninja activities to serve their lord.
As a fan of the older games, I'm hopeful that Mirage grounds us to that. I'm a tad skeptical on the new titles, I haven't bought them. I tried all three, and they don't hit the itch I remember the series for. Been playing Unity now, and I enjoy it. Hoping for more close to AC's beginnings.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
You should give Origins another chance. If you play on PC, there is a cheat engine table to skip basicly all the annoying open world griding this game has. Of the new trilogy, AC O is the most assassin's creed game of them by a large leap, dispite the gameplay changers. It's pretty damn good
@@meurer13daniel I wanted to try Odyssey but then I saw combat gameplay and I immediately said NO. The main character is AC should not fight as if he or she has super powers and Odyssey gameplay and combat defiantly felt like that.
Ah, the nostalgia of when every game would force in some kind of multiplayer, no matter how bad. The AC multiplayer on Brotherhood and Unity was actually really fun.
Unity was amazing when you had a good connection. Taking time to workout the paintings mansion heist, and then getting it down to a science to a point where you and your buddies don’t even need to really say anything to each other to pull off a clean stealth run
My issue with the newer combat style is that it becomes a button mash. As someone that 100%s an area before moving on I found myself severely overpowered half way through Valhalla even on the hardest setting and didn't really care about the encounters. The Ezio saga will always have a special place in my heart and the combat style stopped you button mashing your way through and felt satisfying when you parried and countered several times in a row
You are tripping odyssey has a button mapping system with special skills you can unlock that is perfect origins has unlock perks that show you the different pre mapped abilities and valhalla is a mix of both not one time in all 3 games have i felt like i was button mashing it was always a skillfull reaction and counter while in combat
It is 100% button mashing style combat. There's a lot of issues with the combat, such as it being just too fast paced for the combat to feel meaty or visceral. However the Ezio saga didn't exactly have better combat. It was "Press X to counter"
My take is to split the divide, don't just have a ton of side missions that are repetitive and have no substance, nor do a care to run, ride, sail, etc. over open ground for extended periods of time without any action... Unless of course, pack more into a tighter area and make it so that it's an exploration rather than something that's pinpoint on maps for me that I just walked to. I also think they could use the incorporation of more mystery and puzzles in the new iterations. Valhalla seems more drag you over the coals with time consuming efforts too complete certain tasks versus involving problem solving and development of storyline via creative turns in the plot lines or even the extrapolation of History which I thoroughly enjoyed and previous AC releases
You forgot about the 3rd fan type. Those who've played from the beginning and like both styles of games. I got number one a little while after it came out but have gotten every game since then on release. I've enjoyed them all and of course have gripes with all of them for different reasons. Can't wait for the new games to come out.
@@tasor1186 Kinda hard to say really. Of the new style, if I had to choose, I think I like Odyssey the most simply due to the time period, world, and main character (Kassandra specifically). Of the older style, it's even harder but I really enjoyed number 3 for similar reasons to above. I really liked the setting and main character. Tbh, I tend to forget most of the nitty gritty mechanics and what not so I can't really include those in my decision (I played/beat them all at release so some haven't been played in like 10+ years) unless they're just so egregiously bad/imprinted that I remember them. The only mechanic that comes to mind that I really wasn't that fond of was the kinda tower defense mechanism from Revelations. It wasn't THAT bad but it stands out in my mind.
I guess how well Mirage does will determine a bit how Red goes. Valhalla sold an absolute f***ton of copies, regardless of reviews, the money tells them rpg is the way to go. I hope more that they go back to city maps instead of massive empty fields. I personally don't mind padding so long as the padding isn't me running around empty terrain for hours.
@@mihmo2663no one want a empty world so I understand sadly Valhalla was more empty then odyssey and Origins but I think the game in Japan will be insane no old gen to hold the game back
@@MR_IceBlood Japan already has many games to explore it though, and Tsushima already satisfied most of what you'd want in one. Especially considering this is going the "poor man's Witcher 3" route again we had since Origins, this will literally be just another open world RPGlite set in Japan. A waste. Would be better to use a different setting or use Japan in a tenchu-like kind of style with Assassins Creed formula like Mirage is going to use.
For years Assassins Creed 3 & 4 were my go to games for an engaging single player experience, and it wasn’t until Odyssey that I felt like they were headed back in the right direction. Although I’d like to see more multiplayer and customization options, the historical/mythology aspect is what keeps me coming back. Depending on how these new releases perform, this could be a new stage in the franchise, or it could be a total letdown. Hopefully there’s still a lot of ideas on the table, it would be interesting to see more modern stories in the AC universe. If they want to keep the hardcore fans interested, l think they need to make abstergo/templars relevant again, and I think the perfect time period to do this would be the 20th century. It won’t be your typical AC gameplay, but it’s a direction that might be inevitable if Ubisoft wants to continue this franchise for the next decade.
@@vanity1602 you most likely focused only on the story instead of playing like an rpg, if not tell me the main reason why you though the game was boring. just clicked on your pfp and say you subbed to lyle, that pretty rare.
Eh, in my opinion Unity should've been the template for the modern AC games. It was most similar to AC1 in structure but expanded your options to a much more flexible system. It was more similar to Hitman offering you different approaches on how to assassinate targets. It also had easily the best parkour system and city design of the entire franchise. The game was buggy but the design was a fantastic evolution. Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla are trying way too hard to be The Witcher 3 when they have writers who are like a quarter as talented. Ubisoft just does not understand how to make open world games that aren't a horrible grindfest filled with uninspired content. The Witcher 3 was as good as it was because every single quest in the entire game had a well written story to make it feel important. It's the total opposite of the Ubisoft "stuff as much shit into the world as possible" approach. RPG's are my favorite genre but it takes a very skilled developer to make a massive open world RPG actually hold your attention and be worth playing to the end. Ubisoft is not one of them.
I’m so sad I can’t fight with the hidden blade in the new ones. I really liked Bayek and his story, but I definitely enjoy the older games more. So I really hope Mirage brings back the feel of the older ones.
The last game I played was Assassin's Creed 3. I prefer the earlier versions especially Brotherhood where you can train other assassins. That game was fantastic
Nothing ever replaces the feeling i got when i first got my hands on Assassin's Creed 3 and Black Flag. These two made me wake up 5 am with joy to play them.
I agree those games where special and ubisoft hasn't been able to come close since. I remember the ships in black flag feeling real with how the wind would effect your sails and now in modern assasins games wind doesnt effect ships at all and everything just seems much more bland in modern games compared to the Ac3 and black flag
Most excited about Red for sure. Should be interesting to see their takes on various figures of Japanese history, as well as being able to explore mainland Japan. Ghost of Tsushima certainly scratched that Open World Japan itch I didn't realize I had, but naturally it did feel like we were on a smaller island, so having a much larger area to be able to traverse will be so much fun, especially in the big cities of the era. Mirage should be good, at least I hope it is for the sake of the OG fans. I'm a big fan of the RPG direction but I understand why a lot of fans aren't crazy about it. It'll be interesting to see how they update the classic formula for a newer game, considering how long it's been. Hopefully parkour feels as weighty as it did in Unity and Syndicate, and it'll be fun to go back to classic assassination gameplay. I'm *very* intrigued by Hexe. They did say that this game will be different from anything they've done in previous entries, which means it likely won't be an RPG or a stealth-based action game, but I can't imagine what other direction they could go in, gameplay-wise. Potentially some kind of horror based gameplay, based on the overall vibe, but I'm not sure how well that could fit into the series. I do wonder if the fact that we're dealing with the witch trials means that there could possibly be more involvement with the Isu? That'd certainly be something. Overall, I'm excited. Tentatively. Seems like there's a bit of something for everyone coming up, which does seem a little too good to be true.
My worry isn’t about them making separate mobile games. It’s them turning the console games into mobile games little by little. They’ve already done it with micro transactions since unity, and I’m worried about the gameplay. The “rpg” mechanics, the layout of the hud, the “boxiness” of the menus it’s all going towards mobile/simplified garbage.
Applying the RPG formula to an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan is actually a brilliant stroke of genius in my mind (I hadn't even thought of such an idea): you get the original formula - especially since a ninja would be a perfect candidate for the brotherhood - paired with a sprawling map, role-playing choice-making, and customization galore. Honestly, I'm more confused about Basim.
couldn't agree more Really don't see how project red could be like Odyssey or Valhalla remember you're a shinobi assassin is all about stealth gameplay this is going to be horrible if it's just a reskin Valhalla it should be more like the old games😒👎
Codename Red would boring. I'm not bothered about RPG elements but I want parkour. Feudal Japan wasn't built for parkour. It mostly consisted of villages with only a couple one story buildings. And the biggest cities still weren't dense enough. At least the other AC title has my interest because it's set during the HRE and will have witchcraft involved. It sounds like a recipe for a fun and engaging action-adventure game. It sounds like the atmosphere will be immersive. More interesting to me than feudal animer engrisher Japanerr.
@@noobbotgaming2173 What are you talking about? Didn't feudal Japan have shinobi? And aren't shinobi practically just assassins like the creed assassins?
I like the old school ones, will have a special place in my heart, for they're still titans in their areas. Only played Valhalla, of the latest 3, and I might be biased on it, because I've wanted a Vikingr themed game for a long time, with music that is fitting, and that is what it is. I love it for other reasons than the previous ones, and won't deny it's almost a completely different focused game. Respect both sides, and hope we can live in harmony
You should consider the two other ones as well, I thought they were great, arguably better/richer than Valhalla! And I'm saying that as a Norwegian who had been looking forward to a viking-themed AC game since the beginning.
They screwed the whole franchise. These open world RPG games would of been successful on their own without the AC name attached, They just attached the AC name and screwed what all the original fans loved about the games.
Tbh guys, I have been playing assassin's creed since the beginning, and it's by far one of the best franchises in gaming but I'm not going to pay for it, in the infinity setup of things, if it comes to that, I basically own most of them hard copy, and digital, so.. Yea. Hey Jake thanks for brain cooler, you and the team does wonders, with these types of content, I appreciate it, keep it coming

I am beyond excited for Assassins Creed Mirage. That trailer gave me such a huge nostalgic high haha 😂 It reminded me of the good ol’ days when I was in high school and would be playing as Altair and Ezio on my Xbox 360. I’m not going to discredit the new games but honestly, There’s nothing like the OG AC 🤷🏽♂️ And the fact that Mirage currently appears to be a next gen OG AC is enough for me to be excited about AC again. I’m so hype that I actually downloaded all of the old titles to my Xbox Series X 😆 Been playing the original all day. The writing and execution was sooo good! Desmond, Altair, Ezio, The Brotherhood. It was all so amazing! I hate that they killed Desmond off and never really gave us that Future/Present Day Conclusion. I mean come on, I can’t be the only one who imagined Ubisoft releasing a game where you play Desmond in present time as an assassin climbing buildings and Air Assassinating people in modern day cities haha 😂 Definitely a missed opportunity. Thanks Jake for another great video man.
I appreciate you making the distinction between the two camps of Assassins Creed fans. I really dislike the newer games and I knew I couldn’t be alone. Praying for Mirage 🙏🏽
@@emanuelkiraz6481 I tried to give the newer ones a chance but tbh running from one side of the map to another for God knows how long. I'll only ever do that for rdr2.
I got to the AC fan club a bit late, my first game being odyssey, but having studied Greek mythology in college I absolutely fell in love with it. Still one of the only games to date that I have 90% plus completion on. I don’t know what the classic AC’s were like but I’m definitely curious. Just interesting to see how the different styles of game appealed to different people and then some that love both.
I love the idea of a Forza Horizon/Motorsport relationship in Assassin's Creed and getting games of both designs seeping through back and forth rather than all of one or the other. I'm honestly not tired of either style cuz the original games give such a beautiful historically accurate experience and great story while the RPG ones have some historical inaccuracies but really bring mythology to life canonically through the Isu. Both types really build on the 2 sides of the lore: the historically motivated Assassin and Templar war and the supernatural marks the Isu have left on our world. All I'm missing is a full-scale modern day Assassin's Creed game.
I'm glad they are making games for both styles. A Japanese game like Odyssey and Origins will be fun. Then Mirage, where I can finally play as Basim and bask in the nostalgia of the old games hopefully.
@@Washuluver87 I started with The Ezio Collection. Tbh, I got Origins next and I don't regret it one bit. Hands down the best AC game in my opinion. I really just like all of them.
Ive been with AC since the beginning and I'm excited to see this stuff. I just hope they dont focus so much on pumping it out that story and character quality suffers. The game world can be as big and beautiful as you like but if the characters and narrative are weak and flimsy, the entire product suffers.
Exciting news. I'm a huge fan and been playing since AC2, prefer the older games but not too against the RPG ones, Origins being the best of them and a top 5 game. That said, its great they seem to be giving us both sides of what we want. Mirage - back to basics, more linear, similar to AC1 to Revelations. Red - the long awaited Japan setting, more of the new RPG style, but hopefully a nice middle ground a bit like Origins. And Hexe could be anything at this point, maybe they'll decide which path based on the success of the aforementioned games, but the setting could be great for a spookier mood. Overall rly happy with the direction, cant wait to jump into Mirage
I really Really REALLY hope Mirage will have the old school mechanic. I'm also pretty excited for Red and Jade and see what they will do with the Chinese and Japanese theme
I'm definitely excited for Mirage, I've been a player and a fan since the OG Assassin's Creed. But I have to say that Hexe titillates me. The idea of an Assassin's Creed game set in an historical period but maybe with a touch of magic sounds awesome! They've already got the Sci-Fi element baked in, it wouldn't be too much of a leap to see something closer to the Witcher. Now, that being said, I am burnt out on the big, huge open world Assassin's Creeds and that's the only way a game like that would really work. So it will be interesting to see where they take it
Started playing AC like 12 years ago - love both styles tbh. The worlds in the recent few have been so cool, and the grindiness of them as well. I’m personally most excited for hexe because it seems like it’ll be very different from anything they’ve done.
My dream for assassins creed games in general would be that they make the playstyle customisable, at least in some aspects. Like, being able to turn of item levels and let them have set values. Being able to turn off the entire HUD and still being able to find your way to your objective, and integrating HUD toggle options for those who want to check the compass quickly. Or maybe just being able to decide how you want to approach a mission more freely and having most (because all isn't realistc) of them work. Being able to select in the beginning of a new game if you want to focus on the story or open world & missions or maybe both. I know it's an ambitious thing to hope or ask for, because a lot of that would be difficult to implement, but we need games with accessability and customization. Especially for series that have been running as long as Assassins Creed and where there are different kinds of playstyles. I just want everyone to be able to have fun with the games.
i'm curious about mirage, hexe AND red. all settings could be interesting and offer much content that can connect to the older gameplay, make you feel like an assassin. but protagonists need to be truly charismatic and interesting beyond measure. i don't want the choice to be male or female character anymore. either give us one or the other. it would be cool to have a female protagonist only with hexe, to explore all the possible difficulties to be a woman assassin during THAT time, especially if this hypothetical protagonist is hunted herself. that game needs to be DARK and it needs to not shy away from its true potential. as do all the others, of course. but yeah, maybe my interest is mostly for that title, even though baghdad and japan do seem like incredibly engaging settings. if done well, these titles could REALLY work. but they do need to feel more like solid assassin's creed games in terms of gameplay rather than heavily rpg-oriented. a little bit of rpg, a lot more of classic assassin's creed. it's what we need. these games need to preserve and VALUE their own identity.
@@Jack-yq6ui I know it's almost like ubisoft realizes that so many people hate the bullshit they make anytime big channels talk about them they have bots go in a praise shit literally no real gamer would ever praise lol
im really excited with mirage that has same vibes as the old one, and second i really hooked with the witch cult dark europe theme one. for japan tho since its rpg its okay i mean not super hyped again since we already got ghost of tsushima, just like what you said lets see what from other side of the coin how they serve this feudal japan theme
I bet an AC game set in the US during the 60s would work. Conspiracies were rampant in that decade so an assassin placed here and there could actually fit.
As an old school fan (played the first AC when it came out) I have been wanting a feudal Japan AC for the absolute longest time. While I’m glad and appreciate that Mirage is coming out, I feel partially betrayed by Ubisoft for deciding to make Red more the RPG style. They know how long the community has been wanting it, long before the new style of games were even in development. Kinda stings tbh. I hope it’s in more a Unity type fashion, but I think I’d still try it just because I’ve wanted this game for so long
Origins was my first assassins creed game, the ancient Egypt setting just resonated with me so I only experienced the rpg elements and grew to like them along with the exploration of Egypt
I'd recommend picking up the Ezio trilogy, and maybe AC3 and 4 if u like that, those are definitely AC at its best 👌🏻 Unity and Syndicate are underrated too
@@Frost4Real there is no AC game more underrated than AC:Origins. It just suffered from gamers vitriol, bayek is arguably a better character than ezio. that's how good it is
@@0x0michael i was with u until that last sentence 😂 Ezio is the personification of AC, the only character with multiple game entries. Origins is great tho and definitely a top 5 AC game, and the best of the RPG ones. I wouldnt say its as underrated as Syndicate or Rogue tho
I definitely feel like we create our own modern day character in infinity and walk around the modern day world, then with our own personal animus can enter the ancient world's from red and hexe, maybe even Italy or the older games. And we'll get missions every month or so kinda like in genshin how the story is added every few months.
Man I just miss old AC when we could hop online, and you had to hunt and assassinate the other team which was attempting to elude and blend into the crowds. Now that was the AC I fell in love with. Loved unlocking new weapons and abilities and outfits. Made me feel so badass assassinating one guy, then seeing his friend bolt in the opposite direction just for me to chase him down and get the stealth assassination. Sneaking around players and pretending I didn’t know they were the target and then taking em out 😂🤣 man those were the days.
I was a fan of the original style AC series and always intrigued to know what historical setting would feature in the next instalment. But it seems like there are whole genre's and series based around samurai, shinobi or feudal Japan. This isn't to say Japanese set games arent great, but there's more potential out there. It would be interesting to see the focus of this series shifted to location's or era's that haven't been explored as much. Rather than Japan it could be Korea or Mongolia of a similar time period; or south-east Asia and Indochina in the colonial period; or south or central Asia. Imperial/revolutionary Russia did get some attention but didnt feature in a full scale game in the series. Location's in South America could feature the time period of Simón Bolívar. Witch trials in the Holy Roman Empire does sound like an interesting new era and location to me.
Old school fan here, I want a happy middle. I like having to investigate and plot my assassination, paying off people and listening from around corners. I also like the large open world.
@@g3arerror more Unity fixed, to quote Miyamoto, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." I want them to take their time. I’ll happily wait for games for many years if it means we get a good, fun game. I also liked the customization in Unity
With Red, probably because I had been one of those who wanted a game set in Japan in the early years, I wish they would take it in the direction of older games at the very least. My personal wish is for them to make it more like Unity.
As another old timer who has been playing since the first one, I have been enjoying every entry into the franchise. I love them all for their look back into ancient times and cultures. I do wish they'd get back to keeping it more Assassin's vs templar. I liked the Isu when they were still in the past and not exactly active in the present. Also as an old fart, screw mobile games. :P
I love RPGs, but some games dont need to go that route. I'm happy we're going back to the roots. Wish they kept the large open world, though. I like exploring, but I understand most people don't like huge open-world games.
I just really hope they keep up the fantastic levels of diversity the series has brought to it's games recently, especially with Vahalla. I'm hoping we see many different races in all of the following games too. Representation matters and having it in only one game would make it look token.
When i hear the stuff for AC Infinity it makes me think of the Master Chief Collection for Halo but a sort of "Hub Game" that actually has stuff to do other than go through menus. which honestly, is probably the perfect way to get your AC collection of games in one spot imo. is this what it will be? who knows, but I'd be all for it, especially if its ubisoft account based and i could have the games on all platforms because of it.
Considering the fact that the icons for each game in the series just got updated to a standard black background with the game’s name and the assassin logo on it (on Xbox at least), it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what they planned on doing
I'd love to see them in a hub and each game gets updated a bit so they run smoothly on modern systems. As much as I love the OG games, they don't run very well on current systems as they were designed for much slower systems and their fps had to be limited. If they could find a way to record them to run at 120fps or higher they would be great again.
Which game are you most looking forward to?
Red, but only if its oldschool style:)
codename red 🚴
1:49 Is the fish on ice accurate 🤔 I mean how come they have ice at that time? I don't think they had refrigerator and they use to dry the meat to make it last longer mind you the smell also
mirage, I really like that they brought back the old robes and the tenants and councils and the ring finger sacrifice. I really love the old-school style. i am not saying the RPG games are bad but they shouldn't get the title of assassins creed
assassins creed in ancient rome, sad that they dont plan it anytime soon...
we got egypt, greece, the last missing piece was rome, but instead they gave us some boring baghdad
I remain skeptical about AC Mirage since there was no gameplay. However, I will say this - that trailer took me STRAIGHT back to the first time watching the AC2 cinematic reveal trailer. It almost felt like they were purposefully mirroring that style of trailer, from AC2, brotherhood, so on. The focus on a single target, the acrobatic city traversal, the social stealth, culminating into the main character alone with their target... Gave me chills.
This is what AC has taught us, never judge a game from the reveal trailer, I'll consider it not as paying homage to 2 but instead manipulating nostalgia.
Let me just say: My hype for new AC games has been pulled through the mud in the last couple of years
To me Mirage looks like a remake. They're approaching it that way because they are way too self aware if not. They showed quite literally every charming thing about the old games, even the little using the pot to turn corners around buildings parkour.
Or well maybe they found and hired some AC purists and let Ubisoft know what the fans want. So they release Mirage which won't make them much money but will get everyone invested.
So far it looks like good old AC. A fantastic cinematic trailer, old gameplay and the old vibe.
@@itizwhatitiz9560 There was no gameplay or good writing.
There was flashy visuals and iconography for the sake of hype
When Basim (I assume) dropped from the roof of that building I immediately thought about that trailer too!
Safe to assume the gameplay will look very much like odyssey or Valhalla
I'm most excited for Red. It would be cool if it had opposite social stealth to Valhalla. In Vallhalla, you put your hood up to cover your face, and cloak to cover your weapons. In actual history, Shinobi would dress like regular citizens and peasants to blend in so in the game you could uncover yourself from your mask/cowl/hood in order to look like a civilian to blend in, while still having a cloak to cover your weapons (as they would IRL)
Social Stealth should have taken notes from liberty for years. Its disguise system is broadened in a full mainline title would be awesome
That would actually be cool and I know it’s a game but it would feel more realistic because in real world someone with a hood or mask would be very sus
I actually like that idea
you are correct that shinobi (Depending on what era of Japan were talking about) did conduct espionage by dressing in Civilian clothing, and other disguises, including priests, entertainers, fortune tellers, merchants, rōnin, and monks. but being able to open carry swords and knifes wasn't prohibited until around 1588 during the "Sword Hunt" - stating that civilians that arn't in a military or samurai role couldn't carry weapons in public. i assume that assassins creed red is gonna take place way before 1588, most likely between the 4th - 15th century, so i would say that hiding weapons would be kinda redundant seeing as plenty of people likely carried swords back then. Shinobi also weren't just spies - depending on what era of japan they were assassins, body guards, mercenaries, etc. tbh according to history shinobi weren't really known as spies until the 16th century. I personally think that having a "cloak" in japan would probably be more suspicious than just wearing normal clothes with a sword or even assassin robes. they basically wore what fit their mission. if its infiltration in the dead of night, they would prefer black robes. if they were infiltrating a palace or area in the day they would dress in clothing that fit the environment. if they were guarding someone who hired them they would most likely dress like as a rōnin. In the 16th century during the waring period they were known to dress more like the type of ninja we see in Japanese folk tales and play's. their clothing, appearance, roles and skills throughout history has kinda been all over the place depending on the timeframe.
@@I_SEV_I thank you for this informative comment
I would FULLY support if they separated into two teams, one focusing on classic style AC games and the other focusing on the newer style AC games. Or even if they just flip flopped back and forth. It would make sense to make multiple smaller classic style AC games and then every so often..maybe once every four years or so...put the money those games made into one big epic Action RPG in the style of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. That way we get what we want as classic fans AND the newer style AC games will always be huge, epic, well written, well thought out, ever better funded, games.
A man can dream 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
thats what it starting to look like with mirage then assassins creed red a flipflop with the consul games i feel the mobile game might not do so good not everyone one got really good phones to handle gaming on there phone maybe if it was also available on pc
I must say I do appreciate that they're trying to give us some variety. Probably helps making the games not feel so stale.
Unity had a good formula. It perfected the stealth and pakour. So one team doing stuff like that and another the RPG stuff will be amazing as I love both styles. I'm in both camps 😂
but why cant they just put both the old school and the new rpg style into a single game?
every FOUR years? 😂
Hot take: I like all the forms of assassin's creed. The old games let me feel like badass, and the newer games let me be goofy with a small dose of badassery
yea but it be nice to have a game that incorporates a lil of both kinds of playstyles
I agree bro, the old fight mechanics and countering in the older AC games felt much more badass, but let's be honest you can't complain about the amount of content we get in these new games, games can cost an arm and a leg now days so I rather have more to explore and longer in the game.
Thought I was the only one
Yes this one, i want to play ac a lot. It wouod be nice to have more stealth mission tho.
Holy shit never thought id meet someone who has the same hot take lol i love the old games but also really enjoy the newer AC games too. Man there is even times when replaying the old games where they feel really dated but i mean there old af
My favorite is still Brotherhood. I did love the fact you can call in assassin's that can die and you had to level them up. It means you couldn't just send them in to kill everybody right away and they could clear out the enemies you didn't want to deal with. Admittedly, they were a little overpowered if you just timed when you triggered them but still it was great feeling like a true brotherhood.
Brotherhood is my favourite too. Such a good game.
you never played Origins !!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Definitely it's my first and favorite
@@gamernippel after brotherhood, it all went downhill
@@snakeoo7ca oh, don't say that, Revelations is pure love too ♥ the closing ark of Ezio's life was beautiful to see, I just love this trilogy
I'll happily take a 40-50 hour linear game over a 300+ hour endless crawl that I'll never finish.
👍🏼
Linear games are meant for simple minded people... You know, your type, can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
40-50h linear game? Please tell me one with that much content.
reduce it to 20 hours, and im fine.
Though not an Assasins Creed game. I dont play Ubishit games.
For everyone curious about Hexe: The runes around the logo are from the magi alphabet and mean: "We work in the dark to serve the light" and "Mephisto Revenge House" which in a sentence could mean something like "Mephisto avenge our family". Mephisto is probably meant as the short form of Mephistopheles. He is the devil in Johann Georg Fausts saga. The name Hexe is german aswell. It means witch. From all that we can assume that it first of all will be set in Germany and second it will be around the witch trials. Everything matches together just fine. My guess is that we will play as a member of some occult group. Maybe even a witch :)
@HahaHaItsMe As someone who has took interest into History, I can say it most definitively is playing in the 16th century, I too couldn't think about another time when witchtrials where as big of a thing than in the early modern period.
Sadly, germany isn't dug out that well, so it most probably won't be as accurate as some would like.
@@fr4rq236 What are you talking about? Germany was part of the Hapsburg Empire, there's plenty to grab for historical authenticity and historical accuracy in the 16th Century. What we won't get is to detail accuracy from all of the principalities that were in what is now modern day Germany, as many of those principalities had some distinct cultural forms of dress and traditions. Ubisoft is too lazy. They won't go that far.
If we are talking 16th century, there's also a chance we will see some bleed over from the religious wars of that time. And the witch trials spread throughout multiple centuries, but I believe they reached their apex in the 16th Century in Europe. (Either that or the 17th).
@@beckyweiss6072 Though I get your point, I'd argue that because of the bombings of most german cities many of the old buildings were lost. Sadly, because of many regulations Archeology is really not that active in Germany, so many places have at best a map of it and that's the rare case
Why and how would we be a witch/member of an occult group though
@HahaHaItsMe 16th to 17th century. There were a lot of witch trials in Germany so they have quite the scope
would love a setting early 1500's, during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire. Lot of good storylines, good scenery, pyramids, Aztecs, rainforest, etc..
human sacrifices
that would be just black flag and ACIII
I guess it could be really different, having in mind that the aztecs aren't in either of the games you just said. Even the scenario would be another one.
@@gary7867 No way man, it would be more into the homeland, less about a child that grew with the colonies, about a guard that trusted the spanish and was betrayed. Straight up AC Moctezuma would be beloved.
@@Growmetheus that would be just AC Rogue, but less naval combat and less fun
As a history buff I really appreciate that they're going back to the roots with Mirage. My favorites are AC1 and 2. I'm hoping Mirage will fit in well with the lore and the actual history of the Assassins.
As I've said before. Im hopful, but ubisoft will probably fumble it.
@@theex-authoritarian3745 probably? You got a better chance of completing an at home gender reassignment with nothing but a youtube tutorial and hot nail then ubi does making a good game lol
@@DeShawnMcDonald I used to love ubisoft but now I'm getting more and more of a black pit in my soul for em.
@@theex-authoritarian3745 same I still play r6 all the time but even with that game that I love I take updates with a grain of salt lol and when you can't get updates right a full game is just beyond what they are capable of
Depends on what they mean by “back to the roots”. But yeah, the story-based semi-open world games were the best for sure. Maybe had less to do, but far more rewarding and interesting imo
Based off of the art style of Mirage, It reminds me a lot of AC Revelations with the markets and world design, and seeing as Revelations was my first AC game, I’m very excited to play something remotely similar to what I first saw when playing the game as an 8 year old way back in 2011.
Funny enough, I'm playing revelations rn and it's so good. Really hope mirage turns out well, would be a definitely nostalgic and very fun
Man, revelations was smack in the middle of the golden age of AC. They found their stride with AC2 and kept rolling until Black Flag, then went downhill from there.
@@user-su6wy3bj4v Completely agree. Revelations and brotherhood were my 2 most played AC's along with 3. Something about revelations MP was so much damn fun. The setting of that game was amazing also. Like you said they really found their stride in that Era. I hope they can replicate it again with the "pared down" version. I'd enjoy either style if it had MP. Although idk how the new games would work with the combat being so intricate.
@@user-su6wy3bj4v Honestly, the Ezio Trilogy - Black Flag was the franchise’s peak. I feel like after that a lot of the games were missing something or were too rushed to fit the regular release window, then they went too far in the wrong direction after Origins as it completely alienated what made the original AC games so recognisable and unique.
Mirage is in the same location as AC 1, which is also where Ezio went to in Revelations
I’m actually pretty curious about Hexe. My guess is we’ll play as a person accused of witchcraft, saved and taken into the brotherhood. There are a lot of ways they can approach it really.
I'm most interested in Jeanne d'Arc. She's most likely going to be portrayed as an Assassin, seeing how she died.
She also wielded the Sword of Eden. It seems Hex would be based round the Witchcraft, so possibly round the Time of the Malice Malificarum.
Hexe (pronounced like Hex-eh) is actually the German word for witch so a link to witchcraft is pretty much a given imo
Idk much about the witch trials but one place I really wanted to see was Germany there’s so much you can do like imagine how many big cities I’m excited for hexe
@@lol_histicall4289 only story I know is on Saint Walpurga who warded off witches among other things and Hexenacht (Witch’s Night) was replaced with Walpurgisnacht. Doubt it’d have anything to do with that but I do hope it has something to do with Germany
I'm a big old school fan but I loved Odyssey and origins for 1) the setting. It just looked amazing and I love Egyptian and Greek mythology and 2) I enjoyed the things you can discover like the Medusa boss fight or the war elephants, they were extremely fun in my eyes
yea they were the 2 games that strayed from seriousness and allowed some fun for once, which is the whole point of games really.
Yea, the games were good, but they had nothing to do with Assassins Creed imo.
dude, the Odyssey broke the whole story/lore of AC that has been for years. You are suppose to get in a machine that can shows you the past, but in the game you have multiple choices. That makes 0 sense. The machine does not let you change the past rather than show you what happened. All the mythology and gods destroy makes no sense either. I do like greek and egyptian mythology, but it has nothing to do with the game fighting monster and magical stuff.
You can play the 3 new AC's the old way. Old ones can't be played like the new ones.
@@mrhenrik7472 Wym "nothing to do", Origins is literally the Origin of the brotherhood, the creed, the leap of faith, "hide in the shadows", the whole concept born from Bayek on his quest for vengeance.
Odyssey was shit ngl
Been wanting a Japan based AC game since AC3, can’t believe they’re finally doing it. Also, Mirage has the chance to do something really special, I really hope Ubisoft doesn’t blow it.
Isnt jade based on china?
@@danielso6589 jade is a mobile game tho
@@danielso6589 he was probably referring to codename red instead of jade

Hi jake, just wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching this channel since the last few years and this channel has been my go to to make important decisions regarding buying a console or any video game so just wanted to say thank you for the content you and the guys at gameranx produce 🙌🏻
Thanks for all your support
💯
Same, I always watch before you buy, before I buy😜
There's always one piece of trash writing similar comment every damn time. Stop.
I second this, the only review that matters imo
AC can, and does, work as an RPG. But, it should have kept more of the features of the traditional AC games. Like the stealth challenges (rather than out and out combat), desynchronisation requirements, and the focus on free-running.
Exactly
Even I as a newcomer to AC want them to incorporate more from the originals again
Origins was closest to that than tje other rpg ones.
What's wrong with just having both? I like both for different reasons. I think they should come out with two teams one working on open world new assassin's creed games and another team working on the older foundation formula. I played assassin's creed since assassin's Creed 2 released and although i love the original games i don't think it's possible to combine both and please both sides. Just have two teams working two different type of games
A WWI game would be cool. Last war to have swords and guns at large. Lots of variations
I’m excited for Mirage, I think it will be at least in the direction of the originals. Out of Red and Hexe I’m actually kind of excited for a darker hopefully spooky Hexe. As long as they keep it real and not fake magic.
Considering they used the term Hexe instead of Witch gives me a good feeling that they're gonna go very realistic about it. Also, secret orders and stuff where actually really central in europe back in that time. European witchhunt is a period of almost 800 years that partly still continues. The idea of good witches is VERY new to us and the idea of Satanists who aren't evil monsters is some weird american thing that barely anyone knows. Tell a german you're a satanist and you really gotta explain that you're not ritually murdering children because that assumption is the norm amongst both atheists and christians. We do have freedom of faith today but it's not exactly peaceful still. The game will probably gocus somewhere around the most formative years for the luciferian movement that created humanism to oppose religious insanity. And considering it's assassin's creed and technically still fictional, they can easily revive the histories of forbidden, secret religions and all the real secret stuff... I bet it will become a very interesting game.
Here is based on the Witch trials so it is most likely will have magic.
I have been hooked on this series since the beginning. I love the original style of play but I also am also so immersed in exploring and experiencing the massive rpg style games. So I have room in my heart for both and this is exciting that they are trying to deliver an old school experience for us while still exploring the rpg in another theme.
I already own every game in the series so I am curious to know more about the hub and what it brings to the long time fans who have been here
👍🏼
I’m in exactly the same boat as yourself, massive fan of the whole franchise since the beginning having played & owned every game myself, I’m excited to see what these future games of the franchise hold in store.
Yeah, I still prefer the classic games as far as the combat system, but I'm also digging exploring the open worlds of Origins, Odyssey and (soon to be played) Valhalla. It's a nice change because as much as I loved the classics, I'd gotten burned out by the time Unity came along. I went through Syndicate after a long hiatus and that reignited the fire to catch back up.
I'm the same... Love both styles and eventually I'll get through all of them. Just bought Valhalla Complete edition two weeks ago 64% off so now I have all of them. I think it'll be interesting to see where the games go from here and what stories they'll tell.
@@Joreel jeez if you’re only just starting *VALHALLA* & you enjoy it you’ll be busy for the next few months as it’s ridiculously huge with an insane amount of things to do.
The base game I really enjoyed but the rest all the dlc’s are just ridiculous mythical crap & wasn’t in the least bit enjoyable to play.
I hope mirage doesnt have micro transactions
You know your not forced to buy them right….
it will
It doesn’t! Well according to the article gameranx just showed in the video.
It’s like old school assassin’s creed
@@MalikATL Its not about being forced to buy them its the fact you pay full price for a game I should have all the content it offers I shouldnt have to spend more on cooler outfits or weapons
I am so thrilled to be getting an old school "pared down" AC episode in Mirage. Being an unstoppable assassin with 4 buttons used to be so fun. But I really enjoy a lot of what AC has become, not to mention the "history mode" or whatever where you can learn actual history in a walkthrough is just *chef's kiss* for those of us who were always fans for the historical aspect.
Exactly I’m really hoping it’s like a mix of both
Yeah I agree I am in both camps when it comes to AC but I do understand the series had to evolve somehow but honestly and this is just my opinion here I do think having 3 AC games that were primarily RPG games was a tad overkill to me odesey took it abit to far in my opinion however like I said I understand why they made that decision it just didn’t feel fun after awhille
@@joehobbs3277 I honestly wouldn't mind them alternating. So every other release would be rpg openworld. Then the next release would be stealth based, linear story. I also am in both camps I miss the old-school ones but boy do I enjoy a good rpg.
Dont call it an episode. It's a game. Dont do that.
Well said
I personally like both. I’m a bit more of a fan for open world since I love exploring in stuff (why I like Elder Scroll and new AC). But a good story would be nice since I adore the Ezio games.
The old games let me feel like a badass and gives me more emotions, the new games let me be goofy with a small dose of badassery and emotions
Hm? Do you mean the RPG games with your second sentence? All main AC games are open-world. And yeah I hope for a good story for future games because the story and the parkour of the older games was the main reason I adored Assassin's Creed. At the moment, the new Assassin's Creed games are meh in my opinion. I do like exploring the world, but at some point everywhere in the world feels the same.
@@malheia true to a degree its more so that the new rpg's have a higher level of freedom in-game paired with less load screens on travel from location to location ( excluding fast travel)
@@ethanbunton8495 yeah they're all open-worlds except that the technology has improved through the years to make loading seem more seamless. It also depends on the machine you're running on. My PC is pretty good but not as powerful as the new gen consoles so I do get pretty annoying and weird frozen loading screens during gameplay when riding a horse in the new games.
To be honest, I prefer the older style of open-world, and by that I mean Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 - this might be a hot take. It feels more focused to be honest, and a game doesn't always have to be so open. However, if Assassin's Creed open worlds were like Ghost of Tsushima (and better) then it would be a different case.
I share love for both the branches of Assassins Creed games, but I never thought they would pivot back to the old style, so I'm really looking forward to some gameplay from Mirage. Also, Red looks really cool just because it's Feudal Japan, but Hexe is giving me some Dishonored vibes... and I fricking love it!
I feel the same, Can't wait for red.
I'm an old school fan and like both branches too. The old school games where great especially 2 and Brotherhood. I don't think I've played an ac game I don't like yet. I'm looking forward to Ubisoft mixing it up a bit by going old school with mirage and also making future rpg style titles
That’s what they need to do from now on. 2 games, 1 old, 1 rpg
@@callumocreary1253 Or they could have just made a new franchise for the RPG games
Japan is such a normie setting
All I need for them to do is bring the parry back, that was one of the most important parts of the combat mechanism in the original games, they can keep everything they are doing, but the counter parry attacks need to be brought back most definitely. I haven't played one since the Origins game due to the missing parry
hopefully the parry will work like it did in Origins. Parry insta killing made the old combat to brain dead and hopefully it doesnt go back to mindless button mashing
@@skizecraft I feel like the random button pressing is exactly what's promoted in origins, that's what the newer combat mechanism leads to. The insta killing is what made assassin's Creed, without it u weren't going to make it.

You parry in Origins with the shield. In Valhalla with the hidden blade bracelet. But i do also miss the old school AC parries you meant.
i prefer the old ones but parry was kinda shit , as it has been said its pretty brain dead .
@@darkpasta9297random button pressing would be more brain dead tho right🤔ijs😂😁🤣
I'm in the old school group but I really love how they still expanded the open world gameplay with Origins but still kept most of the original feel and mechanics of the originals. Mirage looks like it'll go back to that. They took so much out of Odyssey and Valhalla. Looking forward to AC Mirage.
Yeah I don't understand why your mindset isn't the normal one I don't get why they just can't do a big open world with old school gameplay other then it's hard to sell microtransactioms when you can't sell time-savers constantly
I'm newschool group, but I'm an og ac player. My favorite are the big 3 Origins Odyssey and Valhalla. But I beat most ac games when they came out. 1, 2, brotherhood, revelations, and 3. But i didn't beat black flag, Unity, or Syndicate. I didn't find them as interesting as the big 3 or ac 1 or the Ezio trilogy.
@@afrothe8th I wanna like the new games I just hate the system of leveling it just ruins the experience for me when you hit that point of grind for a good bit or buy dlc
You actually need to have brain damage to think Origins is anything close to the feel of the original games.
Zero stealth. Button mash enemies that teleport.
Virtually zero assassinations… in a game about assassins.
Terrible RPG mechanics.
List goes one for a very long time.
@@DeShawnMcDonald I feel you, sometimes I'm like damn these games too fucking long😂. But I love them cuz me personally I don't want to beat the game in a few days, I'll be bored as hell after.
Tbh I really like both forms of games they've come out with
This was much needed haha, thank you.
I heard they were stepping away from the leveling system, and I definitely prefer the classics style.
And I cannot wait for Mirage, I love the architecture style
thats good to hear! rpg isnt meant for ac
Just hope they keep the rpg element. Absolutely love the last 3 titles.
@@funrsguysandmore you are in the minority then man, most OG AC fans hate the new formula. It just doesn’t feel like Assassin’s Creed and the stories were weak
IMO Origins was the perfect middle ground (probably why its my favorite AC game)
@@styx8975 thing is... I am the OG fan. Ironic.
I really like the idea of having 2 different paths for the AC games, 1 going down the original style of gameplay and 1 being the open world games we've come to know. I REALLY enjoy the new ones, but when I play them I certainly miss the old style.
I’m curious what do you like about them? Because for me the gameplay is super stiff, the animations and production is unrefined and the story is uninteresting. I thought ancient Egypt was a super cool place to explore but I never finished the game because the story was too weak and I got enough of the gameplay. Don’t take this as an insult, I’d just to know is what you really liked is exactly what I don’t lol.
@@NormanWasHere452 I mean can't answe for the author but I like both styles because they're just different games. In general I like stealth based games like the "old" styles (but let's be honest, they had their problems too, with some repetative gameplay and while I loved AC Brotherhood dearly if I ever have to se a da Vinci's machine or god forbid pilot it I will just quit the game) and I like open world rpgs. The newer games are not perfect - they worlds are too large, the writing is uneven (but Origins and first half of Odyssey for me were pretty good plot-wise, I'd even say Origins is up there for me as one of the best games in AC series) - but they exploration for the most pasrt is fun (again, until hitting the problem of too large worlds with too little to do), the plot is decent (it's not Ezio but not all old AC games were really all that interesting for me, it depended on title) and it's just kind of enjoyable in a way I can't really describe but I think is mostly summed up by how much you enjoy just vibing and roleplaying in open worlds. Granted they had a lot of problems but they are, generally, improving. Like the old AC games did - how AC 2 fixed the AC1s repetative missions etc.
I think it boils down to what types of games you typically like. I enjoy big, sprawling rpgs (more fantasy oriented but you know the drill, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Witcher...) and I enjoy stealth, plot focused ones (older AC, Dishonored, etc.). So both types fit in with what I like.
@@NormanWasHere452 the amount of content and the beautiful open world is what I like I also like them going more in depth with the isu story because to me the old style games are just so repetitive with the order and the assassins
@@Malcadicta my thoughts exactly. I really like the two types of styles as well and love that Ubisoft is going to make games down both roads.
@@Malcadicta yeah I can't even remember the story from Brotherhood other than the Borgias and their palace
Mirage and Hexe sound the most intriguing to me. If they end up following the formula of the older games for these two then it might be enough to bring me back to the franchise. I played Origins, but fell out after that and didn't bother with Odyssey or Valhalla.
Red looks cool, but if it follows the gameplay of Origins and the ones following that game then I'll pass.
Open your mind odyssey is worth every second I beat the game and all its dlc clicking in almost 400 hours never got bored I'm even replaying the game from scratch with another 17 hours played in my 2nd run beautiful world fun and actually interesting characters awesome weapons bad guys plot twists not to mention sailing the seas is awesome and the dlc is pretty great too not really the Persian dlc but the mythological dlc that takes you to elysium hades and Atlantis ps pick kassandra better voice acting than alexios
@@BlorgusBlunt is it just a good game, or is it a good Assassins creed game? I haven’t played so cannot judge it.
@@HarrisonCoe it's a good game however not close to AC games like brotherhood or black flag
@@HarrisonCoe it's both a good game and a good ac game.
@@brandonjeter1006 no origins was a good ac game, oddyssey and valhalla are jusy good games theres nothing assassin like in either of them
Many of us wanted a classical assassin experience, their is nothing wrong with newer versions like Valhalla, it’s just many of us still want the hoods, blades, assassinations. If they could continue making games like mirage on the caliper of Valhalla many of us fans would enjoy.
Hexe sounds cool asf, I'm super excited for it. Seeing how scary and mysterious the evil sacrificial places in AC valhalla were, I think they could make Hexe an amazing experience. Mirage sounds fun and looks amazing, I'm excited to play that one. Hopefully it brings us back to a same feeling as revelations. I hope code red turns out good too, but we've waited for so long. I think they're only doing it cause tsushima did so well, hopefully they make it it's own experience. Infinite sounds like an easy money grab just sayin.
I really hope hexe is set during 30 years war and we get to see Gustav II shine as lion from the north. Definitely one of the better settings for assassins creed
Hexe has multiple opportunities for expansions sequels and even a return to North America during the Salem witch trials close to Connors timeline for dlc

yapp exactly how i feel about the games
Same, I like them all. Except for odyssey, which is the only game that i've ever truly hated.
I've played all of them, started with brotherhood as of now origins is currently my fave followed by syndicate and 3. I have yet to play Valhalla because I have the ps5 disk and no ps5 yet.
@@magnusbaier7633 Odyssey is my favorite AC game besides Black Flag. I put over 150 hours into that masterpiece and I don't regret it. I love going back to all of the screen shots I took, the game is soooo beautiful and detailed.
odyssey brought me back to the series, I love the lore behind ancient Greece and throwing assassins creed in there sold it for me, I just wished they strayed from the rpg combat because at times it seemed less like assassins creed with the stats and such but it is still one of my favorite assassin's creed games ever. hopefully mirage and codename red are good because I'm definitely interested
Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Rogue are the most underrated AC games ever tbh. I can see why people don't really like Odyssey but whether people liked it or no, it can still be really enjoyable if you stick with it. Also Unity has honestly became overrated at this point. I first played it after the majority of the bugs were fixed and before i even knew about it failing so badly but even so, i still didnt enjoy the game much at all and it confuses me when people love Unity but hate Syndicate because Syndicate is really just a more polished and actually finished version of Unity but with a better setting and story imo, although i do live in the uk so i am a bit bias with syndicate and valhalla tbf
@@BenjaminS08 unity is overrated cuz it has everything that rpg trilogy didn't have
And this is amazing
And mirage will be better than rpg trilogy ofc
@@Belle75468 literally. I tried so hard to get through Odyssey by suspending my old school lens but it just felt like an incredibly shitty attempt at mimicking the success of games like the witcher. It takes the worst aspects from a bad rpg and just dumps microtransactions on top of it. I think the worst part is that it definitely has the formula for a good rpg game but it piggybacks off of the established succes of ac. funnily enough I actually enjoyed origins, it played as a good middle child but the latter 2 of the trilogy are bogus

I personally have been waiting on a shinobi style AC! Open World Japan sounds really appealing to me. My only issue is Ubisoft has a tendency to be redundant with their missions and that could cause the dreaded burnout affect
Play ghosts of tsushima
Yeah they start to feel rudderless
I don't really like the Japanese style games
I have a fascination with Japan, both historic & modern. Throw that into Assassin's Creed, my favorite game ever, & I expect to be unimaginably happy when this drops. My only worry is that they have Ubisoft Quebec on the project. They did Syndicate & Odyssey. Both are decent games, but neither are the best in the series. In fact, they're probably the worst ones in each type of game. For the old narrative driven style, Syndicate was the worst. For the rpg style, Odyssey was the worst. This worries me greatly.
@@HeartlesSv420 Japan is weird and sad tbh
I have been longing for an AC feudal japan game for sooooo long, but it saddens me to hear that it's gonna be in the new style. I think it's mainly the OG fans who wanted feudal japan, and it would have been better to make the game more oldschool.
Play Ghosts of tsushima, it is exactly that and done better than modern ubisoft could. It plays alot similar so u wont be dealing with goofy controls.
@@bpmcmanson8701 Don't have a PS though

OG player here but I wouldn’t want red in the old style. After playing ghost it would turn me off if the open world was narrowed to just story driven content.
I’ve been a die hard fan of AC since the start and I really enjoy both formats: the old school, linear story play and the 3 (so far) open world RPG-style ones but I get that not everyone does. However, it isn’t just the new recruits that love the RPG’s.
I’m the most excited for Red - maybe because I keep going back to Ghost of Tsushima even though I finished it quite a while ago. That little cinematic teaser felt like it was for an epic and gorgeous game a la Tsushima. Plus, I spent my childhood dreaming of being a samurai warrior princess so it’s like I don’t have a choice but to jones for this game. I’m praying it’s good but in the meantime I’m ready for some more Basim!
I doubt it could even surpass GoT.. The director for Code Red is the same director for the recent 3 AC games
@@ReikiMaulana no the director for red is the director of Odyssey, Valhalla and origins were directed by a different guy
Also looking forward to Red. I know we get a lot of these feudal japan ninja/samurai games, but gosh darnit I want MORE! Ghost of Tsushima, Ninja Gaiden, Sekiro, Nioh....it's not enough! MORE! lol
I loved all their teasers tbh. But I've always had a thing for horror, sorcery and all that stuff, so Hexe is the most appealing to me 😍 really excited for it
As a witch myself, I'm excited to see what they'll do
As a German I really look forward for a game based in the Holy Roman Empire. I was worried that whenever they'd do a German based AC that they would pick WW1 or WW2, specially after Unity and Syndicate but going back in time makes me so happy. There is so much history in Germany and most people even here don't know what Germany was before the German empire.
Looking forward for that one.
Also as a heads up, watch the music video for "Deutschland" from Rammstein. There are some clips from the time of witch hunts in there and some other dark grim times. Perfect setting for assassin's Creed.
@@bdbch 16th century Central Europe from the leak on hexe so it’s very exciting to get game during those times
I love both the new and old Assassin Creed games. Im a big RPG fan and am glad they chose to go that route with massive worlds and things to do, but i love the older games too and glad to see Mirage coming next year.
This used to be my favorite series. I'm one of the weirdos who got all the achievements in AC1, with my man the under appreciated Altair, tracking down seven million flags. That was fun for me, I loved it. AC2, an upgrade to what I loved. I don't know what the hell is going on now, but I don't even consider it Assassin's Creed anymore. And there used to be a saying, "Quality over quantity." Oh well, Ghost of Tsushima was fucking incredible!
But they were feathers my dude! I did this too!
@@DaDude2011 nah that's ac2, still a banger
Wow hell of a long time ago. I guess you’re right - I can’t even remember collecting flags. Probably too many hours collecting the damn feathers.

@@MR_IceBlood thats what it seems like, i hope that its a blend of both styles, not just bigger numbers better character but like really unique gear that you can use while being open like the later 3. either way regardless of how they do it I'll still play the heck out of it because im a hopeless weeb for games that let me be a ninja XD
@@drunkenmoken yeah it will have to be great ghost of Tsushima 2 will come around the same time and also in Japan and ghost of Tsushima was really good it feels more like a ac game but also not if you know what I mean
Dont get too excited, the game is only 40 dollars.
@@captaincaptain2128 yeah I think the story will be around 12-15 hours like the old ezio games
I wonder how when the topic of multiplayer in assassins creed was talked about here, the old multiplayer modes like in brotherhood or revelations were mentioned but the possibility of ubisoft actually being able to see that unity's multiplayer was a fucking fantastic idea and maybe planning to create a similar and hopefully improved version of this in future games wasn't mentioned. Being able to play an AC game coop would, alongside them returning to the old style for a change, be a big reason for me to buy an AC game again. Unity undoubtedly did a lot of things wrong and was not the optimal experience but I never understood how ubisoft seemingly got out of the bad reception of the game that the coop mode sucked, the coop in the game is probably one of THE reasons why the game was still so fun to play.
i agree unity’s multiplayer mode was the only reason i got the game
AC unity multiplayer was the best
Nah man, ac3 multiplayer was the best out of all of them
@@1LTxxx have you ever played tom clancy's wildlands? being able coordinate your attacks using stealth is cool AF.

Got to say I’m pretty excited for all of these. Definitely want Mirage to turn out how I’m imagining but also really digging the “hex” vibe. Then again… A Hidden blade aaaaand a Katana?!? This one is hard
too small for a katana, more likely wakizashi or even a tanto
So? Ezio carried a lot of swords as well
@@zorros_bankai9699 too big for a tanto, a wakizashi relly is the best bet, but a shorter katana is not out of possibility
@@siggie8610 yes, but the Katana is legendary. No way you could be missing that
I like the old school games, and I like the open world too. Valhalla was a bit of a letdown for me, especially as a Viking descendant. It just didn't do as much as Origins and Odyssey.
I enjoy both type of AC game styles, the problem with the RPG ones is that they overstay their welcome, I played like 80 hours of Valhalla and wasn’t even close to beating the game, and the story began to be less and less interesting, a 50 hour main campaign should be enough people have lives and I don’t wanna be playing one game for the entire year
U hit the nail on the head. I dont mind the RPG AC games but like u said they're just way too long and stuffed with filler. The old games, even longer ones like Unity, i used to play for a month or 2, be able to do everything and see everything and leave feeling satisfied. These new ones become tedious fairly early on, even Origins took me around 200hrs and that is supposedly the shortest one of the 3!
@@Frost4Real yes and you are talking about only the main campaign, Odyssey was the worst because it basically forced you to do all boring side missions because you had to reach a specific level to be able to move forward with the story… And the story was not interesting at all (the ending was basically having dinner with your family 😏) Ubisoft needs to hire better script writers and better editors. Far Cry 3 which was a great game had a 25-30 hour campaign at the most…
Yeah, I actually walked away from Oddysey because I was just so burned out from it, I had already played for over 40 hours and the story wasn’t even starting yet. Don’t even want to play Valhalla because of the same reason.
@@marklevy1785 Yeah in fairness to Origins, that 200hrs was me platinuming the game, and it is definitely the best of the 3 RPG games. Like u guys have said about Odyssey and Valhalla, I'm cautious to even play them cos of how much time I'll need to invest.
@@SnaggingRaccoon Valhalla is a little bit better in that it doesn’t force you to do side missions in order to advance the story, but even so I believe it is even longer (albeit better story) it seems that the game never ends
I'm interested in all their projects. AC games always struck a cord with me because I am a history nerd. I remember I wouldn't study at school for my history classes but then I would sit on my PC and read animus entries on AC2 and AC Brotherhood after school. I like the new AC rpg focused games but the previous titles had this something... probably nostalgia idk.
Anyways I'm excited for AC Mirage. It's very reminiscent of the first AC, it gives off the same vibes, being set in a more arabic eastern environment. AC codename red is very promising, I remeber a good 10 years ago me and my mates from school who also played AC would gather and talk about how cool it would be if we got like a feudal japan AC so yay! AC codename hexe sounds promising as well. I'm up for spooky witch hunts and like a very dark occult setting in central europe.
Hopefully Ubisoft doesn't deliver a rushed, broken product. They do this a lot lately so they should take their time and make sure those games come out at their best state possible on day 1.
Lol this brought back a memory for me too! Ac3 definitely helped me pass a us history class in high school, not a page out the textbook read XD
I, for one, am excited to see what Ubi can do with a city setting, after all they've learned about open world games from the trilogy.
Stoked for both that and Red
I've been a fan from the beginning and while I like certain aspects of the old school games, Valhalla and Odyssey are both amazing. Valhalla's combat and loot/gear system was pretty much perfect. My biggest gripe about Odyssey was the overwhelming loot and upgrading, but Valhalla fixed that by making way fewer armor and weapon options that you could focus on improving based on your play style. I hope that gear system sticks around for these upcoming titles.
The sword in code red looks to be Wakizashi a slightly shorter sword more akin too close quarter combat than the Katana. I've some experience with both swords and the hilt & blade in the animation is a bit short for a Katana. It's also unusual for such a sword to be carried by a non samurai in ancient Japan as they were bloody expensive. Of course due to the popularity of Katana in modern fiction they might use one anyway and the ratios in the image could be off a bit.
Regardless of which sword, I'm really looking forward to it.
Watashi wa sekkachidesu.
I use shar p shit too! U forgot to mention how actually difficult it is to just pick up a sword of any random type and just be proficient with that hoe.
I was thinking the same thing, Wakazashi’s were also terribly expensive but you’d be more likely to see a nonSamurai wielding one. Furthermore, newer fantasy style games like Ghost of Tsushima and Mortal Kombat suggest this smaller sword as being an item for less honorable activities (such as assassinations)
Seeing as this title will probably be an rpg like Valhalla, you’re most likely going to be playing as a samurai. I personally think leaning into the ninja side would work better as this is Assassins Creed but oh well. Cool info btw!
Samurai and Ninjas were often the same. A samurai could be a ninja. A ninja isnt just some guy is black clothes doing sneaky stuff. Its all about espionage and spy stuff. Many samurai had to partake in ninja activities to serve their lord.
Lmfao you must be fun at parties, explaining how the party isnt technically a party unless it has this and that.
I'm excited to see more of Hexe. Sounds like a badass setting.
yes, horror AC would be cool af
Germany here we come :O
As a fan of the older games, I'm hopeful that Mirage grounds us to that. I'm a tad skeptical on the new titles, I haven't bought them. I tried all three, and they don't hit the itch I remember the series for.
Been playing Unity now, and I enjoy it. Hoping for more close to AC's beginnings.
Brotherhood was good as well, still had the classic gameplay
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20

You should give Origins another chance. If you play on PC, there is a cheat engine table to skip basicly all the annoying open world griding this game has. Of the new trilogy, AC O is the most assassin's creed game of them by a large leap, dispite the gameplay changers. It's pretty damn good
@@meurer13daniel I wanted to try Odyssey but then I saw combat gameplay and I immediately said NO. The main character is AC should not fight as if he or she has super powers and Odyssey gameplay and combat defiantly felt like that.
@@Dr.EgonCholakian ok good but I was talking about Origins?
Black flag and origins are one of my favorites AC Games and I love the setting of Egyptian
Ah, the nostalgia of when every game would force in some kind of multiplayer, no matter how bad. The AC multiplayer on Brotherhood and Unity was actually really fun.
Unity was amazing when you had a good connection. Taking time to workout the paintings mansion heist, and then getting it down to a science to a point where you and your buddies don’t even need to really say anything to each other to pull off a clean stealth run
The part where it shows the old school assassin's at 4:33 just hit me with a whole load of nostalgia
My issue with the newer combat style is that it becomes a button mash. As someone that 100%s an area before moving on I found myself severely overpowered half way through Valhalla even on the hardest setting and didn't really care about the encounters.
The Ezio saga will always have a special place in my heart and the combat style stopped you button mashing your way through and felt satisfying when you parried and countered several times in a row
You are tripping odyssey has a button mapping system with special skills you can unlock that is perfect origins has unlock perks that show you the different pre mapped abilities and valhalla is a mix of both not one time in all 3 games have i felt like i was button mashing it was always a skillfull reaction and counter while in combat
It is 100% button mashing style combat. There's a lot of issues with the combat, such as it being just too fast paced for the combat to feel meaty or visceral. However the Ezio saga didn't exactly have better combat. It was "Press X to counter"
Other way around. The ogs were so easy and offered no challenge. these newer games are much harder and more complex
@@idenafshar3451 the complexity fails when the character get overpowered. And that was way too soon. Even on higher difficulties.
@@sam23696all i can tell you is that if you are button mashing you are 100% playing it wrong maybe go read some instructions
My take is to split the divide, don't just have a ton of side missions that are repetitive and have no substance, nor do a care to run, ride, sail, etc. over open ground for extended periods of time without any action... Unless of course, pack more into a tighter area and make it so that it's an exploration rather than something that's pinpoint on maps for me that I just walked to. I also think they could use the incorporation of more mystery and puzzles in the new iterations. Valhalla seems more drag you over the coals with time consuming efforts too complete certain tasks versus involving problem solving and development of storyline via creative turns in the plot lines or even the extrapolation of History which I thoroughly enjoyed and previous AC releases
You forgot about the 3rd fan type. Those who've played from the beginning and like both styles of games. I got number one a little while after it came out but have gotten every game since then on release. I've enjoyed them all and of course have gripes with all of them for different reasons. Can't wait for the new games to come out.
Same I like both I lean towards rpg more but im a rpg gamer but I love the early stuff
Same. Love both styles.
Which ones ur favorite?
@@tasor1186 Kinda hard to say really. Of the new style, if I had to choose, I think I like Odyssey the most simply due to the time period, world, and main character (Kassandra specifically).
Of the older style, it's even harder but I really enjoyed number 3 for similar reasons to above. I really liked the setting and main character.
Tbh, I tend to forget most of the nitty gritty mechanics and what not so I can't really include those in my decision (I played/beat them all at release so some haven't been played in like 10+ years) unless they're just so egregiously bad/imprinted that I remember them. The only mechanic that comes to mind that I really wasn't that fond of was the kinda tower defense mechanism from Revelations. It wasn't THAT bad but it stands out in my mind.
Can't wait for RED , hope that the RPG aspect would be minimal this time around
👍🏼
It will be like odyssey and Origins and valhalla so no it will not be minimal but that fine by me I like the rpg style better
I guess how well Mirage does will determine a bit how Red goes. Valhalla sold an absolute f***ton of copies, regardless of reviews, the money tells them rpg is the way to go. I hope more that they go back to city maps instead of massive empty fields. I personally don't mind padding so long as the padding isn't me running around empty terrain for hours.
@@mihmo2663no one want a empty world so I understand sadly Valhalla was more empty then odyssey and Origins but I think the game in Japan will be insane no old gen to hold the game back
@@MR_IceBlood Japan already has many games to explore it though, and Tsushima already satisfied most of what you'd want in one.
Especially considering this is going the "poor man's Witcher 3" route again we had since Origins, this will literally be just another open world RPGlite set in Japan. A waste. Would be better to use a different setting or use Japan in a tenchu-like kind of style with Assassins Creed formula like Mirage is going to use.
For years Assassins Creed 3 & 4 were my go to games for an engaging single player experience, and it wasn’t until Odyssey that I felt like they were headed back in the right direction. Although I’d like to see more multiplayer and customization options, the historical/mythology aspect is what keeps me coming back. Depending on how these new releases perform, this could be a new stage in the franchise, or it could be a total letdown. Hopefully there’s still a lot of ideas on the table, it would be interesting to see more modern stories in the AC universe. If they want to keep the hardcore fans interested, l think they need to make abstergo/templars relevant again, and I think the perfect time period to do this would be the 20th century. It won’t be your typical AC gameplay, but it’s a direction that might be inevitable if Ubisoft wants to continue this franchise for the next decade.
Odyssey was by the worse assassin's Creed for me. Play an 1hr of and couldn't play anymore. It put me to sleep
@@vanity1602 the storyline was the only thing that kept me playing along with kassandra's personality
@@vanity1602 you most likely focused only on the story instead of playing like an rpg, if not tell me the main reason why you though the game was boring. just clicked on your pfp and say you subbed to lyle, that pretty rare.
@daniel coffin AC2 and Relevations story: hold my beer
Eh, in my opinion Unity should've been the template for the modern AC games. It was most similar to AC1 in structure but expanded your options to a much more flexible system. It was more similar to Hitman offering you different approaches on how to assassinate targets. It also had easily the best parkour system and city design of the entire franchise. The game was buggy but the design was a fantastic evolution.
Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla are trying way too hard to be The Witcher 3 when they have writers who are like a quarter as talented. Ubisoft just does not understand how to make open world games that aren't a horrible grindfest filled with uninspired content. The Witcher 3 was as good as it was because every single quest in the entire game had a well written story to make it feel important. It's the total opposite of the Ubisoft "stuff as much shit into the world as possible" approach.
RPG's are my favorite genre but it takes a very skilled developer to make a massive open world RPG actually hold your attention and be worth playing to the end. Ubisoft is not one of them.
I’m so sad I can’t fight with the hidden blade in the new ones. I really liked Bayek and his story, but I definitely enjoy the older games more. So I really hope Mirage brings back the feel of the older ones.
The last game I played was Assassin's Creed 3. I prefer the earlier versions especially Brotherhood where you can train other assassins. That game was fantastic
Nothing ever replaces the feeling i got when i first got my hands on Assassin's Creed 3 and Black Flag. These two made me wake up 5 am with joy to play them.
I agree those games where special and ubisoft hasn't been able to come close since. I remember the ships in black flag feeling real with how the wind would effect your sails and now in modern assasins games wind doesnt effect ships at all and everything just seems much more bland in modern games compared to the Ac3 and black flag
Most excited about Red for sure. Should be interesting to see their takes on various figures of Japanese history, as well as being able to explore mainland Japan. Ghost of Tsushima certainly scratched that Open World Japan itch I didn't realize I had, but naturally it did feel like we were on a smaller island, so having a much larger area to be able to traverse will be so much fun, especially in the big cities of the era.
Mirage should be good, at least I hope it is for the sake of the OG fans. I'm a big fan of the RPG direction but I understand why a lot of fans aren't crazy about it. It'll be interesting to see how they update the classic formula for a newer game, considering how long it's been. Hopefully parkour feels as weighty as it did in Unity and Syndicate, and it'll be fun to go back to classic assassination gameplay.
I'm *very* intrigued by Hexe. They did say that this game will be different from anything they've done in previous entries, which means it likely won't be an RPG or a stealth-based action game, but I can't imagine what other direction they could go in, gameplay-wise. Potentially some kind of horror based gameplay, based on the overall vibe, but I'm not sure how well that could fit into the series. I do wonder if the fact that we're dealing with the witch trials means that there could possibly be more involvement with the Isu? That'd certainly be something.
Overall, I'm excited. Tentatively. Seems like there's a bit of something for everyone coming up, which does seem a little too good to be true.
My worry isn’t about them making separate mobile games. It’s them turning the console games into mobile games little by little. They’ve already done it with micro transactions since unity, and I’m worried about the gameplay. The “rpg” mechanics, the layout of the hud, the “boxiness” of the menus it’s all going towards mobile/simplified garbage.
Applying the RPG formula to an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan is actually a brilliant stroke of genius in my mind (I hadn't even thought of such an idea): you get the original formula - especially since a ninja would be a perfect candidate for the brotherhood - paired with a sprawling map, role-playing choice-making, and customization galore. Honestly, I'm more confused about Basim.
couldn't agree more Really don't see how project red could be like Odyssey or Valhalla remember you're a shinobi assassin is all about stealth gameplay this is going to be horrible if it's just a reskin Valhalla it should be more like the old games😒👎
Not at all. There are too many Japanese styled games that were also announced. Not all of us are fans of it.
People have been asking for this since before the ezio saga ended
Codename Red would boring. I'm not bothered about RPG elements but I want parkour. Feudal Japan wasn't built for parkour. It mostly consisted of villages with only a couple one story buildings. And the biggest cities still weren't dense enough.
At least the other AC title has my interest because it's set during the HRE and will have witchcraft involved. It sounds like a recipe for a fun and engaging action-adventure game. It sounds like the atmosphere will be immersive. More interesting to me than feudal animer engrisher Japanerr.
@@noobbotgaming2173 What are you talking about? Didn't feudal Japan have shinobi? And aren't shinobi practically just assassins like the creed assassins?
I love them all. I wish they would do a simple closed off one followed by a giant sandbox, rinse and repeat.
I like the old school ones, will have a special place in my heart, for they're still titans in their areas.
Only played Valhalla, of the latest 3, and I might be biased on it, because I've wanted a Vikingr themed game for a long time, with music that is fitting, and that is what it is.
I love it for other reasons than the previous ones, and won't deny it's almost a completely different focused game.
Respect both sides, and hope we can live in harmony
You should consider the two other ones as well, I thought they were great, arguably better/richer than Valhalla! And I'm saying that as a Norwegian who had been looking forward to a viking-themed AC game since the beginning.
The last game I ever played was Black Flag, and goddamn..... I kind of want to get back into it!
Try unity it’s a good bridge game between the 2 different generations
Redownloaded black flag the last day and I love it. Easily 5th time playing it
They screwed the whole franchise. These open world RPG games would of been successful on their own without the AC name attached, They just attached the AC name and screwed what all the original fans loved about the games.
Tbh guys, I have been playing assassin's creed since the beginning, and it's by far one of the best franchises in gaming but I'm not going to pay for it, in the infinity setup of things, if it comes to that, I basically own most of them hard copy, and digital, so.. Yea. Hey Jake thanks for brain cooler, you and the team does wonders, with these types of content, I appreciate it, keep it coming
Holy run-on sentence batman, you really love commas.
@@TKOfromJohn that, I, do, Robin.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
I am beyond excited for Assassins Creed Mirage. That trailer gave me such a huge nostalgic high haha 😂 It reminded me of the good ol’ days when I was in high school and would be playing as Altair and Ezio on my Xbox 360. I’m not going to discredit the new games but honestly, There’s nothing like the OG AC 🤷🏽♂️ And the fact that Mirage currently appears to be a next gen OG AC is enough for me to be excited about AC again. I’m so hype that I actually downloaded all of the old titles to my Xbox Series X 😆 Been playing the original all day. The writing and execution was sooo good! Desmond, Altair, Ezio, The Brotherhood. It was all so amazing! I hate that they killed Desmond off and never really gave us that Future/Present Day Conclusion. I mean come on, I can’t be the only one who imagined Ubisoft releasing a game where you play Desmond in present time as an assassin climbing buildings and Air Assassinating people in modern day cities haha 😂 Definitely a missed opportunity. Thanks Jake for another great video man.
I appreciate you making the distinction between the two camps of Assassins Creed fans. I really dislike the newer games and I knew I couldn’t be alone. Praying for Mirage 🙏🏽
And then there are ppl like me who love both camps
@@emanuelkiraz6481 I tried to give the newer ones a chance but tbh running from one side of the map to another for God knows how long. I'll only ever do that for rdr2.
I got to the AC fan club a bit late, my first game being odyssey, but having studied Greek mythology in college I absolutely fell in love with it. Still one of the only games to date that I have 90% plus completion on. I don’t know what the classic AC’s were like but I’m definitely curious. Just interesting to see how the different styles of game appealed to different people and then some that love both.
I love the idea of a Forza Horizon/Motorsport relationship in Assassin's Creed and getting games of both designs seeping through back and forth rather than all of one or the other. I'm honestly not tired of either style cuz the original games give such a beautiful historically accurate experience and great story while the RPG ones have some historical inaccuracies but really bring mythology to life canonically through the Isu. Both types really build on the 2 sides of the lore: the historically motivated Assassin and Templar war and the supernatural marks the Isu have left on our world. All I'm missing is a full-scale modern day Assassin's Creed game.
I'm glad they are making games for both styles. A Japanese game like Odyssey and Origins will be fun. Then Mirage, where I can finally play as Basim and bask in the nostalgia of the old games hopefully.
Nobody cares about RPG elements, noob get lost
I agree, I'll be honest I prefer both types of gameplay, but I came in late with Origins.
@@Washuluver87 I started with The Ezio Collection. Tbh, I got Origins next and I don't regret it one bit. Hands down the best AC game in my opinion. I really just like all of them.
Agreed! I am so much excited for ac red
Ive been with AC since the beginning and I'm excited to see this stuff. I just hope they dont focus so much on pumping it out that story and character quality suffers. The game world can be as big and beautiful as you like but if the characters and narrative are weak and flimsy, the entire product suffers.
Exciting news. I'm a huge fan and been playing since AC2, prefer the older games but not too against the RPG ones, Origins being the best of them and a top 5 game. That said, its great they seem to be giving us both sides of what we want. Mirage - back to basics, more linear, similar to AC1 to Revelations. Red - the long awaited Japan setting, more of the new RPG style, but hopefully a nice middle ground a bit like Origins. And Hexe could be anything at this point, maybe they'll decide which path based on the success of the aforementioned games, but the setting could be great for a spookier mood. Overall rly happy with the direction, cant wait to jump into Mirage
As a storyline focused gamer, my favorite is Odyssey. It’s like the perfect blend of open world and cool story.
I really Really REALLY hope Mirage will have the old school mechanic. I'm also pretty excited for Red and Jade and see what they will do with the Chinese and Japanese theme
I'm definitely excited for Mirage, I've been a player and a fan since the OG Assassin's Creed. But I have to say that Hexe titillates me. The idea of an Assassin's Creed game set in an historical period but maybe with a touch of magic sounds awesome! They've already got the Sci-Fi element baked in, it wouldn't be too much of a leap to see something closer to the Witcher. Now, that being said, I am burnt out on the big, huge open world Assassin's Creeds and that's the only way a game like that would really work. So it will be interesting to see where they take it
Started playing AC like 12 years ago - love both styles tbh. The worlds in the recent few have been so cool, and the grindiness of them as well. I’m personally most excited for hexe because it seems like it’ll be very different from anything they’ve done.
My dream for assassins creed games in general would be that they make the playstyle customisable, at least in some aspects. Like, being able to turn of item levels and let them have set values. Being able to turn off the entire HUD and still being able to find your way to your objective, and integrating HUD toggle options for those who want to check the compass quickly. Or maybe just being able to decide how you want to approach a mission more freely and having most (because all isn't realistc) of them work. Being able to select in the beginning of a new game if you want to focus on the story or open world & missions or maybe both.
I know it's an ambitious thing to hope or ask for, because a lot of that would be difficult to implement, but we need games with accessability and customization. Especially for series that have been running as long as Assassins Creed and where there are different kinds of playstyles. I just want everyone to be able to have fun with the games.
i'm curious about mirage, hexe AND red.
all settings could be interesting and offer much content that can connect to the older gameplay, make you feel like an assassin. but protagonists need to be truly charismatic and interesting beyond measure. i don't want the choice to be male or female character anymore. either give us one or the other. it would be cool to have a female protagonist only with hexe, to explore all the possible difficulties to be a woman assassin during THAT time, especially if this hypothetical protagonist is hunted herself. that game needs to be DARK and it needs to not shy away from its true potential. as do all the others, of course. but yeah, maybe my interest is mostly for that title, even though baghdad and japan do seem like incredibly engaging settings. if done well, these titles could REALLY work. but they do need to feel more like solid assassin's creed games in terms of gameplay rather than heavily rpg-oriented. a little bit of rpg, a lot more of classic assassin's creed. it's what we need. these games need to preserve and VALUE their own identity.
Weird that you care about realism while simultaneously thinking there could be a running, jumping, climbing, physically fighting female assassin.
@@Jack-yq6ui I know it's almost like ubisoft realizes that so many people hate the bullshit they make anytime big channels talk about them they have bots go in a praise shit literally no real gamer would ever praise lol
@@Jack-yq6ui bruh if you play assassins creed and think the least realistic part of the game is a female protagonist, man you need help.
@@Jack-yq6ui where did i mention realism? please do tell.
@@DeShawnMcDonald what are you even saying here?
Two things attract me to Assassin's Creed : 1) Being an Assassin, 2) Based on real historical events.
Also the story😄
im really excited with mirage that has same vibes as the old one, and second i really hooked with the witch cult dark europe theme one. for japan tho since its rpg its okay i mean not super hyped again since we already got ghost of tsushima, just like what you said lets see what from other side of the coin how they serve this feudal japan theme
Still praying for an AC game set during WWII. I'm convinced it would have so much potential.
I bet an AC game set in the US during the 60s would work. Conspiracies were rampant in that decade so an assassin placed here and there could actually fit.
And you work as a rebel/resistance and can work with both sides secretly! Thatll be cool
As an old school fan (played the first AC when it came out) I have been wanting a feudal Japan AC for the absolute longest time. While I’m glad and appreciate that Mirage is coming out, I feel partially betrayed by Ubisoft for deciding to make Red more the RPG style. They know how long the community has been wanting it, long before the new style of games were even in development. Kinda stings tbh. I hope it’s in more a Unity type fashion, but I think I’d still try it just because I’ve wanted this game for so long
Origins was my first assassins creed game, the ancient Egypt setting just resonated with me so I only experienced the rpg elements and grew to like them along with the exploration of Egypt
I'd recommend picking up the Ezio trilogy, and maybe AC3 and 4 if u like that, those are definitely AC at its best 👌🏻 Unity and Syndicate are underrated too
@@Frost4Real there is no AC game more underrated than AC:Origins. It just suffered from gamers vitriol, bayek is arguably a better character than ezio. that's how good it is
@@0x0michael i was with u until that last sentence 😂 Ezio is the personification of AC, the only character with multiple game entries. Origins is great tho and definitely a top 5 AC game, and the best of the RPG ones. I wouldnt say its as underrated as Syndicate or Rogue tho
I definitely feel like we create our own modern day character in infinity and walk around the modern day world, then with our own personal animus can enter the ancient world's from red and hexe, maybe even Italy or the older games. And we'll get missions every month or so kinda like in genshin how the story is added every few months.
Man I just miss old AC when we could hop online, and you had to hunt and assassinate the other team which was attempting to elude and blend into the crowds. Now that was the AC I fell in love with. Loved unlocking new weapons and abilities and outfits. Made me feel so badass assassinating one guy, then seeing his friend bolt in the opposite direction just for me to chase him down and get the stealth assassination.
Sneaking around players and pretending I didn’t know they were the target and then taking em out 😂🤣 man those were the days.
I was a fan of the original style AC series and always intrigued to know what historical setting would feature in the next instalment. But it seems like there are whole genre's and series based around samurai, shinobi or feudal Japan. This isn't to say Japanese set games arent great, but there's more potential out there. It would be interesting to see the focus of this series shifted to location's or era's that haven't been explored as much. Rather than Japan it could be Korea or Mongolia of a similar time period; or south-east Asia and Indochina in the colonial period; or south or central Asia. Imperial/revolutionary Russia did get some attention but didnt feature in a full scale game in the series. Location's in South America could feature the time period of Simón Bolívar.
Witch trials in the Holy Roman Empire does sound like an interesting new era and location to me.
I am looking forward to Mirage just to play with Ezio style and nurture my memories. PLEASE UBISOFT, DONT MESS THIS UP.
Old school fan here, I want a happy middle. I like having to investigate and plot my assassination, paying off people and listening from around corners. I also like the large open world.
👍🏼
So like if Unity was polished? Or more like Unity is now then?
@@g3arerror more Unity fixed, to quote Miyamoto, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." I want them to take their time. I’ll happily wait for games for many years if it means we get a good, fun game. I also liked the customization in Unity
With Red, probably because I had been one of those who wanted a game set in Japan in the early years, I wish they would take it in the direction of older games at the very least. My personal wish is for them to make it more like Unity.
I’m here for all the spooks with hexe. Definitely hoping for more of a scary game
As another old timer who has been playing since the first one, I have been enjoying every entry into the franchise. I love them all for their look back into ancient times and cultures. I do wish they'd get back to keeping it more Assassin's vs templar. I liked the Isu when they were still in the past and not exactly active in the present.
Also as an old fart, screw mobile games. :P
I love RPGs, but some games dont need to go that route. I'm happy we're going back to the roots. Wish they kept the large open world, though. I like exploring, but I understand most people don't like huge open-world games.
I just want to see a highly focused 20-30 hour experience with a good story and improved combat.
I remember the co-op/multiplayer from unity was fun and had some cool tag team animations in combat
I just really hope they keep up the fantastic levels of diversity the series has brought to it's games recently, especially with Vahalla. I'm hoping we see many different races in all of the following games too. Representation matters and having it in only one game would make it look token.
Bruuuuh, if the most important thing to you in a game is "diversity", whatever you mean by saying that word, then we have some serious issues
When i hear the stuff for AC Infinity it makes me think of the Master Chief Collection for Halo but a sort of "Hub Game" that actually has stuff to do other than go through menus. which honestly, is probably the perfect way to get your AC collection of games in one spot imo. is this what it will be? who knows, but I'd be all for it, especially if its ubisoft account based and i could have the games on all platforms because of it.
Considering the fact that the icons for each game in the series just got updated to a standard black background with the game’s name and the assassin logo on it (on Xbox at least), it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what they planned on doing
I'd love to see them in a hub and each game gets updated a bit so they run smoothly on modern systems. As much as I love the OG games, they don't run very well on current systems as they were designed for much slower systems and their fps had to be limited. If they could find a way to record them to run at 120fps or higher they would be great again.
Brotherhood PvP multiplayer was sick as hell with some buddies, and I'll die on that hill.
