Assassin's Creed Mirage - Parkour shorts - It's surprisingly fun

There are still some small stutters here and there during gameplay, will try to fix it next time.
AC Mirage takes the parkour system from the last 3 games, which was really watered down from the previous system in Unity and Syndicate. However, the level design in Mirage actually allows you to apply a lot of the older games parkour to some extend. Side ejects, (though very limited and unrealiable) Pole swings and the new pole jump, corner turns, fast hops and even a catch ledge (again pretty unreliable) and more, do allow for some player expression in parkour, which was basically impossible or very situational in the last games.
I really hope someone creates a Unity Fixes type mod for this game that takes away some of the unrealiability of a lot of actions in parkour.

the thing that upsets me the most is how basim will just randomly lose speed and start fast walking after traveling over certain obstacles, it just kills all momentum right there when i’m trying to traverse over like a curtain and he’ll just stop and start fast walking into an eventual sprint again, even though i have sprint bound to R2 as a hold action

[@DaiMoscv]

well the world is obviously designed with parkour in mind but still the overall movements feels heavy to me.

Still better than valhalla 💀

the parkour still looks very unpleasant to me, but i have to say that this is the first mirage video where the graphics look somewhat nice. Perhaps it's that blue colour filter I've heard of ? Looks way better than the standard colours that I've seen in other gameplay videos. I'd almost consider buying the game now.

[@jarragorn725]

I'm not using the filter, but I am playing on pc with the highest settings, so it's the best the game can look pretty much.

yo im trying to find footage with catch ledge in mirage can you help? need it for comparison vid

[@jarragorn725]

Hey, sounds cool, this video actually already has one catch ledge in it, at the end of the second clip. I'm fine with you using it if you want to.

[@EnormousDuck2]

@@jarragorn725 thank you Man i watched it yesterday but didnt catch that, ill check soon

[@ronipok6023]

9 yo Unity has far better parkour, maybe its actually fun in game but when I'm watching this that's painful, no fluidity whatsoever

[@jarragorn725]

I can see that, I still prefer Unity parkour overall too. But Unity comes from a time where ubi still cared a lot about parkour. Mirage tries to care, but has to use the engine from the rpgs, which wasn't made with parkour in mind as much. Still it can be fun to find little instances of cool parkour here and there, but it's quite scarce overall.

@@jarragorn725 Idk, I just can't accept any degrading of a video game, especially with 9 years gap

[@jarragorn725]

@@ronipok6023 fair, let's hope that the new games with more budget will give parkour the attention it deserves.

[@ronipok6023]

@@jarragorn725 I can stand inferior parkour, I would play in this game if it had better story and decent fighting, those two things Ubisoft ignore in most of their games in the recent years.

We are going to have to speak with our money. Cause if they see the sales are still being made they are not going to make the changes that we have been asking for. They are just going to keep gaslighting us

[@shikihayate]

Cant watch, the terrible parkour make me sick, it even more floaty than unity, and the suddenly change of speed when jumping from pole to pole, this garbage dlc cost 50$ and people defense it has low budget😂

[@dvakhiin8748]

No way bro, this is LITERALLY the same exact parkour animations since Ac2 almost two decades ago, but somehow more snappy and less natural.
''It's surprisingly fun'' LOL. We are praising the comeback of ''Pole swing/Corners turn'' recycled animations, how sad is that ?🥲

[@jarragorn725]

People cant have fun I guess

So people cant have fun these days 😂😂.

@@dvakhiin8748 ahh, you're just on another level than all of us babies having fun with mirage, we should hate it like you do, being so intelligent as you are and not having fun while playing a videogame. Truly inspiring friend.
