I disagree, simply in the following games there were less buildings to climb on, and Syndicate had a grappling hook which kind of undermines the climbing. I also feel like the climbing systems in later games felt more responsive and kept the same features from Unity. Animations just were not as varied as in Unity
@@grzyruth9205 that actually makes sense since most of the environment are very distanced from each other giving less chance for the character to do as much parkour moves as the one in Unity
Unity had by far the most vibrant believable city and setting in the franchise. Just unfortunate That they just did not have enough time to polish it. Could have been the best in the series
How is there not enough time! Its their game.. Take as much time needed to simply not make a buggy game.. Who bullied them to put the game out unfinished? Lol, I really like and own Unity, just don't understand when consumers say these things... Most of the time games are unfinished do to money... Not time... Creators and Devs no longer do it for the love of the art. Or are not the ones in power anymore of the actual gameplay.
TheM31ShadoW the original comment said ‘felt’ not ‘looked’ so please learn how to read. Secondly even though this isn’t the best Assassin’s Creed, it surely does feel like one when compared to Origins and Odyssey .
I'm going to be dead honest here: This game had the potential to be the best AC game ever created! it's just so fuc*ing good! too bad they did not take the time to finish it ...
It was finished. The ending was just like an AC games. All master assasins lost everything they loved for the brotherhood. Arno lost his home, he was kicked from the brotherhood, and lost Elise.
Thorrezz I totally agree, I love how ambitious Ubisoft was with it but it was just too soon for such a densely detailed world to exist on current gen consoles - fingers crossed they can exceed Unity’s ambition and make the true best AC game ever. What I’d love them to do is take 3 or 4 years off after Odyssey and then come back with a next gen reboot with an incredible story and mindblowing world that rivals Rockstar in terms of polish and detail.
@@AwesomeDude799 I'm literally high too and looked up unity and love these trailers also lost my save other day 99% I did within a year after it came out. 😞 Best parkour out of them all. Maybe not Mirage 🤞
I hate how innovations made in AC games rarely carry over to sequels. As flawed as this game was it made some massive improvements that never returned.
it didn’t carry over because there was too much lag and problems Ubisoft made this game to be with the next generation of consoles but they overdid it and many of the features and graphics were way ahead of their time maybe on the ps5 they can make more games like this
They really overdid themselves with Unity. Game looks good and has nice graphics. Syndicate was more boring than fun graphics were not too great etc and so on.
Franc Marcus no Ubisoft rushed it out, if they had another couple months to polish it would of been smooth gameplay. The game today is pretty solid, minor glitches
@@francmarcus8433 the parkour was the best the series had ever seen. In odyssey and origins they 'streamlined' it so much its terrible now. The player has lost so much control as now its just hold 1 button and climb over everything without thinking
i can tell right away that you didnt play this on release, it was easly the most glitchy, bug ridden dumpster fire mess than ubisoft has ever released, they even gave away a story dlc for free as an apology for the disgusting state this game was released
1 2 3 I mean, it deserved all the hate it got. At release, the game was a fucking mess + ubisoft tried too hard to maximize the number of civilians/npcs on screen which only fucked up the game even more (if only Rockstar did it xD) + the story was kinda underwhelming. Nowdays it’s a great Ac game, but goes to show that EXACTLY like Batman : Arkam Knight, a bad release can completely ruin a good game
My uncle gave it to us a year after its initial release. The bugs aren't totally gone but I enjoyed it. I liked the parkour system and the lively crowds although the story wasn't that great compared to previous installments.
@@danielz-v4083 not exactly, Arkham Knight was broken on PC, but even there, the problem was just the framerate! Unity was released even with faces missing from cutscenes, it was literally a game released in the Alpha or Beta stage!
After all the patches, this game was really good. I think it was ahead of its time. The world is soooooo dense and the fact that you can go into most buildings freely. Also has multiplayer . So yeh ahead of its time. If they axed the multiplayer they would've had a more smooth launch
Lol right... Every trailer of every AC always looks super stealthy, super assassin-ish, and then you play the game, and you're almost punished for trying to be stealth. Still looks great though.
Merry Blind I'm really interested on the "stealth button", finally they're adding something that felt obvious for years. Now the game can actually know if we're trying to be stealthy or not.
Anyone else glad they've finally created an Assassin who doesn't stick out like a sore thumb when amongst a crowd? Ezio was practically begging to be attacked with that flamboyant outfit.
Yessssss. As much as I love every assassin design, Arno’s badass minimalist outfit, and less eye catching blue, made him the most convincing at social stealth.
Damn. You guys hated it on release, but now you love it more. Maybe if you guys were'nt so cocky about the game bugs (which were obviously gonna get fixed at some point), we wouldn't have the 'Assassins Creed' we have today
Came here after Marge's gameplay showcase. I have never seen the concept of a game be so much downgraded after the creative direction that unity took. This is the ultimate AC game just for the feeling alone. Awesome graphics, awesome soundtrack, awesome gameplay and awesome location. Imagine what a team like this could do with one year more to work on this game. Imagine how this team could have done a feudal Japan game. This is what AC should have become.
Maybe the original Team got fired after this game for those millions of bugs. Even though with all those bugs this is one of my fav game of AC series. So I started my 2nd play through right now.
@@sannysideup6474I’m on my second play through (first time on PC) and this game looks amazing. I’m using some reshade effects mainly to get a sharper image and textures. I’m actually trying to learn how the parkour works as well instead of just holding parkour up all the time lol. After playing it again it might of become my favourite AC game. I just want another game like it tbh
Guys, focus on the fact that Unity was WAYY ahead of it's time and it's biggest glitches and bugs were fixed , graphics is amazing for a 5 year old game.
This was the ultimate assassins creed experience. Parkour, social stealth, and a combat system you could do montages of. You would feel like an assassin going through the crowds and then reaching your target. Could have done with more time in the oven to polish those bugs and glitches, but till today this imo will the most immersive assassins creed yet.
you have to play Unity and then Syndicate to realize just how great unity truly was. I'm having a hard time playing through syndicate a second time because it's just so boring.
The best animations in the AC series. Look what they have done with the game now...can't play the last two games with this stupid lvl system and horrible animations and fight system.
@@wastedtime4962 I've looked carefully at the two new games animations and I've realised something. Their animations are clearly an upgraded version of AC 3/Black Flags animation, not Unitys. You can tell this because you the animations are nowhere near as smooth as unity or syndicate, and you aren't able to run up a wall diagonally or parkour down walls anymore. This is annoying because the best thing about Unity was parkouring around paris so satisfyingly smooth.
@@avci6084 it kinda is though. Unity has better parkour, and a better story (mainly because Odyssey main story is just terrible). But Odyssey is just a much bigger game. Beautiful open world, interesting side missions, hunting, npcs that look alive, and animals that hunt each other. And all the little details added to the game like fire spreading, or objects realistically reacting to the character. AC unity is definitely a better AC game, but Odyssey is the better game.
They fixed a lot of the problems. Bugs, being more specific. But the game still is bad optimized and run at 26 fps on consoles. It's a shame though. I bought it really cheap for the X1 and the game it's quite fun in a lot of aspects. But the frame rate sucks bad.
@@gregwxst Well if it's your first AC game, of course you're gonna love it. I personally, as a long time fan of the game, liked both AC II and AC IV Black Flag the most, they both gave a breath of fresh air to the old games while still feeling the same.
I wish they had implemented this combat style in Odyssey. Also the graphics and the amount of NPCs is amazing for it's time, which were never brought over to the sequels.
I liked the gameplay, It was different and new (fencing). If you don't like the gameplay thats totally cool, its down to your personal preference, I for one loved this game because the story was good and I hated ship combat!
+Mustapha ? Personally if they made the combat faster and and make some animations more sharp if delayed the game for 4 months more the game"s combat would be perfect
The reason why Ac unity's parkour feels so smooth and overwhelming is Because the massive focus went on the game to make it next gen including renovating parkour, stealth and combat. This was the last true next gen game but it had just a bad luck or bugs!
I love unity. I love it more than Syndicate. I’d put it in the fifth spot for being a great assassin’s creed. My top 5 AC games are: 1. Assassin’s Creed Origins 2. Assassin’s Creed 2 3. Assassin’s Creed IV 4. Assassin’s Creed Revelations And... 5. Assassin’s Creed Unty
Well, I own and play Assassin's Creed 2, Revelations, 3, 4, Unity, Chronicles: China and Origins. I'm getting Rogue in the mail. I have never played the mobile version of AC1 you count.
What makes this game ugly is just a variety of bugs and glitches, the rest of this game is amazing and this is a true AC game last (sorry if my English is bad)
You should've said what "made" instead of "makes", because from what I've noticed they've done a pretty good job covering most of the bugs and glitches that were there at launch. I've played through this game 1.5 times and I've never had any major issues like the ones that were at launch. Like the only 2 things that I can remember is that I clipped through a building once through those whole 2 playthroughs in a coop mission and I was once stuck on a cart. Other than that the game is amazing for me, and it has the best parkour out of any AC game out there.
China,Japan,Egypt and WWII wont be in any AC game. They told it would be stupid. But vikings isnt stupid though. But viking wins,right? So yeah. I dont think it will be in AC.
TheMayorOfTheWorld Hell Yeah Yeah, ancient egypt or WWII would be stupid as hell. I just wish they would change the air a little bit. AC 4 was the best since AC 2 mainly because it changes something at the world. It was completely different then what was before (talking about the world). You had so much stuff to do, pirating and treasure hunting etc. Here, it's like you go back to Brotherhood where you only had one city and boring side-missions.
And in awfully setting. Now when Templar could posibbly be there? Japan never been colonized by other countries. And ninja basically is an assassin. So just play ninja games and stuff
I come back to these videos now and again, remembering myself begging my father to pre order this game for me. I thought this was going to be the best game in existence, everything I wanted in assassins creed such as deep customisation and co-op we’re here. This seemed like a dream come true...unfortunately they let me down, that was 5 years ago now and I’m left thinking about what could have been !
first three minutes: "as usual, it looks amazing. but probably gonna be the same old shit again..." (*assassin crouches) "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY" regardless of the gameplay, the animations and appearance are beautiful. i'm left speechless. good speechless.
HALLELUJAH THE LORD UBISOFT CHRIST HAS GIFTED US FROM ABOVE THE ABILITY FOR OUR ASSASSIN TO CROUCH WITHOUT HAVING TO BE STANDING ON A PATCH OF GRASS OR BUSHES
I don't know about the crouching to be honest, seems a bit too similar to Watch_Dogs and there's nothing worse than being stuck to a cover like a magnet to a fridge.
Dem Med Hornene "there's nothing worse than being stuck to a cover like a magnet to a fridge"? well, it does kind of suck to be stuck to the standing positino like your legs are sticks
sb792079 It happened to me a lot in watch dogs, enforcers close, but i realized i couldn't take them down from there cause enemies moved up, i tried to move, and i got stuck on one side and died. it happened many times, they should make it like in dishonored in every game imo
I swear the people talking down on this game act like they are just the worlds best game creator. Just enjoy it...its just a video game for crying out load lol.
Yes and that is our 60 bucks wasted on a shit product which is broken, just because you get money from your mom doesnt mean all of us share that same privilege.
People never realize the value of something when they have it. And now that its gone, we want it back like crazy. Hopefully mirage will bring unity's best features back
No one gives a fuck about Notre Dame. I live in France, I am french and I hate the hypocresy this event is related to. There are some people (like me) who think it's all part of Macron's plan due to him trying as hard as he could not to laugh in an interview about the ''tragedy'' of Notre Dame.
The best outfit,the best character,they best fighting engine after Brotherhood,this game is a masterpiece.I love this game, shame this masterpiece ruined by ubisoft carelessness. #Annoying #Glitches
Regardless of how this game actually turned out... I'm watching it side by side with the new trailer for Assasins Creed Mirage and this just feels and looks so much better. The parkour is more responsive, the special effects are more dramatic and engaging, crowds are simulated more effectively, buildings are more interesting amd interactive. They're talking about how they're "getting back to their roots" but unity is 7yrs old now, and an assasins creed on present day consoles still can't hold a candle to what is considered one of the weaker games to come out of the "older generation" of assasins creed titles. It's just a shame.
***** I bet you're basing that off what happened to Watch dogs and Far cry 3 aren't you? you do realize that this is next gen only? it may be scaled down but not nearly as much as the previously mentioned games.
This game was the last game that was ACTUALLY an Assassin's Creed game. Nice, fluid gameplay, with a vibrant, and interactive map, while still feeling like the absolute badass you were trained to be(this time with others!). Amazing narrative story that follows on events from previous games. I miss when Assassin's Creed was this good. If this game had been polished before, or even after launch, it would have gone down as the best in the series.
Miklos Penzes Jnr. If you are gonna be negative about it, then it will only be a shit game to you. I think this game will be on the right track this time.
+Shay Cormac Syndicate DEFINETLY fixed everything. No lag, no glitches (at least not many), no problems. Assassin's Creed Syndicate has to have the best gameplay experience out of all the games in the franchise. Aside from an EXTREMELY short story with a bad ending though.
This should have been the best AC game ever! It brought so many new things and it looked amasing. Too bad it was rushed and had so many technical problems. It's a great game though.
Put 100 hours into both origins & odyssey and thought both were really good at the time but just started playing unity again and as crazy as it sounds I think I actually prefer unity style of play over origins & odyssey. Shame this new viking AC going to be the same as origins and odyssey.
From the snippet we have seen from AC Mirage today, I can now safely confirm that AC Mirage will always live under the shadow of AC Unity. Ubisoft were too premature with the backlash to Unity, believing the parkour mechanics were the problem when really, that was never the problem.
It's 2021 and here I am still watching AC Unity vids that actually had me install the game again in PC and PS4. Still a very gorgeous looking game up to now. This game really made you feel like an assassin. And the outfits all looked very nice.
It's weird, considering they made it a point to make the accents fit in the other games. And it's freaking Ubisoft so it's not like they have a shortage of French people.
Considering Ubisoft is a French company, the game is set in France.... Pretty silly that they put so much work into the creation of this 1:1 scale of Paris, and overlook the dialect!!
"Controlled Descent" Oh thank god! No more trying to land on a ledge two feet from you and end up jumping a meter past it and doing a barrel roll in front of some guards...
Imagine if they were given an extra 6-8 months of development to even out the issues instead of rushing the game out. AC would be in a very different place now.
*I don't think they can manage to render so many peple into the screen and still have it running at 60 frames per second, like at **1:26** . It pains me that I already know this is going to be downgraded hard. Average consumer doesn't have the gpu power to run this.*
***** Why settle for 30? It affects gameplay. www.30vs60fps.com/ (turn off stretch) Also they will probably have to downgrade anyways, seeing how watch_dogs was playing at 900p and xbone was worse, texture sizes etc...It's pretty clear to me.
WwWGraff I know the difference between 30 and 60 fps but i think that for single player games 30 fps are enough but for online 60 fps should be mandatory But we have to wait and see, we cannot forget that this game is only on current gen and pc so Ubisoft doesn't need to worry about old gen and old hardware and it can focus on better optimization
***** This is what we all hope for. If it comes down to preference, then I can't argue. I still don't want people to settle with what they give them as if were a standard, which it isnt. The difference of fps is terribly noticeable for me and for many others. By the way, this has online coop as a very important feature...
Steven Spall I wonder how it's going to be implemented though. Do you choose how you go down, what bits you grab onto beforehand or is it some seamless and badass experience which has gone completely over my head?
Toisestars619 (using ps4 controller scheme) freerunning and holding x will parkour up a wall. If you freerun towards the edge of a roof and hold O you will parkour down seamlessly.

As I read your comment, the guy said "seamlessly".
I mean, he's not wrong. I see 'seamlessness' in the parkour mostly.
So just once?
you have to play Unity and then Syndicate to realize just how great unity truly was. I'm having a hard time playing through syndicate a second time because it's just so boring.
Yeah mate. I respect Unity more for what it was trying to do than I do enjoy Syndicate.
syndicate is the worst assassins creed up until now but this doesnt mean unity isnt shit too
Echoes Vengeance bro honestly I can't even complete it a first time it's just simply too boring
I remember loving the fact that I actually died during combat in Unity. Unity was actually challenging and that was amazing.
Xpzilla yeah same here it made me happy that I actually wasn't invincible
The LAST true AC GAME, feels like AC one and AC Brotherhood....yes Brotherhood is real ONLINE
brotherhood is still my fav
After this comes the stupid level up system and equipment. After this Assassin's creed was never the same.
brotherhood is so boring.......
coming back from watching AC Shadows demo and just sadly thinking this is the most peak AC will ever be
SAME
Amen
say what u want about this game but i got a A in history about the french revolution
If these assassins were real history would be 10x better.
+Delicious bae
they did exist at one point. the first assassins creed was accurate
me too HIGH FIVE
T
@@ishpeeedy which book??
Me too and I understood this game much better after the unit as well.
Can't wait to co-op let's play this game for like 30 hours straight!
lol
Yeah... Sorry bud.
Arda’yla ben de oynayacağız inşallah beyefendi bizi satmaz ise...
Lol sad
bruh
The best animations in the AC series.
Look what they have done with the game now...can't play the last two games with this stupid lvl system and horrible animations and fight system.
TheAssassin OG dude the movement in ac origins and odyssey was soooo bad
@@wastedtime4962 still odyssey is far superior to unity imo
@@wastedtime4962 I've looked carefully at the two new games animations and I've realised something. Their animations are clearly an upgraded version of AC 3/Black Flags animation, not Unitys. You can tell this because you the animations are nowhere near as smooth as unity or syndicate, and you aren't able to run up a wall diagonally or parkour down walls anymore. This is annoying because the best thing about Unity was parkouring around paris so satisfyingly smooth.
Tom nooooo
@@avci6084 it kinda is though. Unity has better parkour, and a better story (mainly because Odyssey main story is just terrible). But Odyssey is just a much bigger game. Beautiful open world, interesting side missions, hunting, npcs that look alive, and animals that hunt each other. And all the little details added to the game like fire spreading, or objects realistically reacting to the character. AC unity is definitely a better AC game, but Odyssey is the better game.
Replaying this now in late 2016 with the amount of patches Ubisoft did it is actually not that bad of a game.
they never fully fixed it. Not at all.
They fixed a lot of the problems. Bugs, being more specific.
But the game still is bad optimized and run at 26 fps on consoles.
It's a shame though. I bought it really cheap for the X1 and the game it's quite fun in a lot of aspects. But the frame rate sucks bad.
Daniel Meurer I agree. It had so much potential :(
I'm playing it now and it's my first AC game I absolutely love it
@@gregwxst Well if it's your first AC game, of course you're gonna love it. I personally, as a long time fan of the game, liked both AC II and AC IV Black Flag the most, they both gave a breath of fresh air to the old games while still feeling the same.
I wish they had implemented this combat style in Odyssey. Also the graphics and the amount of NPCs is amazing for it's time, which were never brought over to the sequels.
This combat style is meant for stealth play, and is hard for open combat though. I like it. ^^
Now THIS is a gameplay, not what we've got today from Valhalla
this is a demo
that was a trailer
they were technically correct but hyped it too much
Both are gameplay, yet that was a trailer this is a demo. Note this video was uploaded in June, so during E3. We'll get a gameplay demo next month :)
👍🏻
Valhalla ? is too soon agree ? Odyssey*
10 years later I’m watching this after the gameplay of Shadows just released
This game is amazing, I don't know why people say its bad. I honestly thought it was the best since ACll
agree with you!
It wasn't bad it was just the story wasn't as it seemed it was and the bugs were sometimes pretty bad but other than it was ok
+Mustapha ? The gameplay was good it's just if you try to use a low level weapon you can stab for 20 minutes and barley lower there health
I liked the gameplay, It was different and new (fencing). If you don't like the gameplay thats totally cool, its down to your personal preference, I for one loved this game because the story was good and I hated ship combat!
+Mustapha ? Personally if they made the combat faster and and make some animations more sharp if delayed the game for 4 months more the game"s combat would be perfect
Bugs? Yes! I care not... this is one of the greatest AC games.
The reason why Ac unity's parkour feels so smooth and overwhelming is Because the massive focus went on the game to make it next gen including renovating parkour, stealth and combat. This was the last true next gen game but it had just a bad luck or bugs!
I love unity. I love it more than Syndicate. I’d put it in the fifth spot for being a great assassin’s creed.
My top 5 AC games are:
1. Assassin’s Creed Origins
2. Assassin’s Creed 2
3. Assassin’s Creed IV
4. Assassin’s Creed Revelations
And...
5. Assassin’s Creed Unty
Origins is that good? well, gotta make my wallet thinner
Assassin's Creed Origins is really amazing totally worth it
Assassin's Creed Origins is easily the best in the series. From every perspective except the damn optimization for pc.
Dapple Dog have you ever played an AC game, you have only probably played the mobile version of AC1
Well, I own and play Assassin's Creed 2, Revelations, 3, 4, Unity, Chronicles: China and Origins. I'm getting Rogue in the mail. I have never played the mobile version of AC1 you count.
What makes this game ugly is just a variety of bugs and glitches, the rest of this game is amazing and this is a true AC game last (sorry if my English is bad)
You should've said what "made" instead of "makes", because from what I've noticed they've done a pretty good job covering most of the bugs and glitches that were there at launch.
I've played through this game 1.5 times and I've never had any major issues like the ones that were at launch. Like the only 2 things that I can remember is that I clipped through a building once through those whole 2 playthroughs in a coop mission and I was once stuck on a cart. Other than that the game is amazing for me, and it has the best parkour out of any AC game out there.
so ezio is from italy and speaks in an italian accent, but a frenchman from france cant speak in a french accent? why?
if you can understand italian accents im sure french is fine. and hes talking in an english accent in this
filmneek Please remember, animuse TRANSLATES what ancestors says.
Sqzzey Beastzor How come they didnt translate ezios accent?
because a french accent would be fucking annoying
Austin Hartman because there was a glitch in the animus
I feel like this game was near masterpiece
Oh for fcks' sake; having seen AC Shadows' gameplay trailer, this gem of a gameplay trailer has beautifully aged.
Either give us an AC taking place in medieval japan, china, korea etc. or scandinavia with vikings...
China,Japan,Egypt and WWII wont be in any AC game. They told it would be stupid. But vikings isnt stupid though. But viking wins,right? So yeah. I dont think it will be in AC.
TheMayorOfTheWorld Hell Yeah
Yeah, ancient egypt or WWII would be stupid as hell. I just wish they would change the air a little bit. AC 4 was the best since AC 2 mainly because it changes something at the world. It was completely different then what was before (talking about the world). You had so much stuff to do, pirating and treasure hunting etc. Here, it's like you go back to Brotherhood where you only had one city and boring side-missions.
And in awfully setting. Now when Templar could posibbly be there? Japan never been colonized by other countries. And ninja basically is an assassin. So just play ninja games and stuff
so they added in small things that may have needed and took big things out that were needed
what about ac wich takes you to civil war in russia they maded comic about it why not the game
I come back to these videos now and again, remembering myself begging my father to pre order this game for me. I thought this was going to be the best game in existence, everything I wanted in assassins creed such as deep customisation and co-op we’re here. This seemed like a dream come true...unfortunately they let me down, that was 5 years ago now and I’m left thinking about what could have been !
shut up its good and u suck
first three minutes: "as usual, it looks amazing. but probably gonna be the same old shit again..."
(*assassin crouches)
"SHUT UP AND TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY"
regardless of the gameplay, the animations and appearance are beautiful. i'm left speechless. good speechless.
HALLELUJAH THE LORD UBISOFT CHRIST HAS GIFTED US FROM ABOVE THE ABILITY FOR OUR ASSASSIN TO CROUCH WITHOUT HAVING TO BE STANDING ON A PATCH OF GRASS OR BUSHES
I don't know about the crouching to be honest, seems a bit too similar to Watch_Dogs and there's nothing worse than being stuck to a cover like a magnet to a fridge.
Dem Med Hornene "there's nothing worse than being stuck to a cover like a magnet to a fridge"? well, it does kind of suck to be stuck to the standing positino like your legs are sticks
sb792079 It happened to me a lot in watch dogs, enforcers close, but i realized i couldn't take them down from there cause enemies moved up, i tried to move, and i got stuck on one side and died. it happened many times, they should make it like in dishonored in every game imo
The graphics are still the best in the entire franchise !
Welcome to UA-cam recommendation 2020 . Damn this game still looks hot
I swear the people talking down on this game act like they are just the worlds best game creator. Just enjoy it...its just a video game for crying out load lol.
The thing is if the game is broken and and show us a full functioning game well crafted game with a ton of hype around it then we can't enjoy it
Yes and that is our 60 bucks wasted on a shit product which is broken, just because you get money from your mom doesnt mean all of us share that same privilege.
syndicate boring game..
and i was forgot about the story lol
Hotch ...lol it was only $28 in my country... even syndicate is not $60
James Stonewall you don't have to be a cook to say that the food tastes like shit.
I'm glad people are finally coming to their sense and realizing this is a great game.
It's a shame it always takes so long for people to see...
The best AC game for me is what you have on your pfp...👌
@@marilenakrommida8185 Same. Lol
People never realize the value of something when they have it. And now that its gone, we want it back like crazy. Hopefully mirage will bring unity's best features back
Because most couldn’t play it on release since it was 10 fps and crashed every 5 minutes and often times faces wouldn’t even load
@@fire-typhoon123 unfortunate, it wont. Please watch the gameplay trailer of Mirage and then watch unity demo gameplay again.
Who came here after notre dame tragedy?
tachanka Our lord and savior. You will bless the French people with AC Unity and Doc and Rook
No one gives a fuck about Notre Dame. I live in France, I am french and I hate the hypocresy this event is related to. There are some people (like me) who think it's all part of Macron's plan due to him trying as hard as he could not to laugh in an interview about the ''tragedy'' of Notre Dame.
@@Doctor_Straing_Strange No, the new players does, because of that, this game is free lmao
@@marc4143 New players DO.
And yes now that it's free everyone wants it xD
@@Doctor_Straing_Strange what is free ?
They made this game look so much more smooth than it is.
It plays and runs absolutely fine now. It was patched two years ago, get over it.
Arin Handsome exactly after two fucking years its finally fixed isnt it?
Well it's been fixed for nearly two years now...
It's pretty smooth if you are actually good at the game lmao
the game doesnt run smooth at all even after two years
This is the purest Assassin's Creed we've ever had.
Not the purest but it was good
The true Assassin'S Creed
The best outfit,the best character,they best fighting engine after Brotherhood,this game is a masterpiece.I love this game, shame this masterpiece ruined by ubisoft carelessness. #Annoying #Glitches
Mate the Arno's original outfit is so good, i like his character mostly for his outfit.
Edward, Bayek, Shay > Arno.....but I agree, unity had the best engine and mechanics since the ezio games
I agree all except outfit. It’s probably the worst outfit in the series. Looks so plain, boring and ugly from the back. The front is nice
Dose anyone still plays this game like me:( I love this game sooo much
Dabthatass -_- I do add me on Xbox- Sleemohero329
Started it again from start last week👉😁👉
Martin Jõe im starting it again too just finished AC 4 and AC 3
I still play
yeah i do on pc, great game
"Paris, the most beautiful city in the world" I LAUGHED SO HARD
Around that time period it was claimed to be so :)
It was the most beautiful once,and now is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Solaxe Solaxowski hahahaha
Known to still be the most beautiful city in the world. No reasons to laugh HARD
Vancouver was voted the most beautiful place in the world to live
Came back after watching the new Mirage gameplay walkthrough. This game was ahead of its time
Regardless of how this game actually turned out... I'm watching it side by side with the new trailer for Assasins Creed Mirage and this just feels and looks so much better. The parkour is more responsive, the special effects are more dramatic and engaging, crowds are simulated more effectively, buildings are more interesting amd interactive. They're talking about how they're "getting back to their roots" but unity is 7yrs old now, and an assasins creed on present day consoles still can't hold a candle to what is considered one of the weaker games to come out of the "older generation" of assasins creed titles. It's just a shame.
Took 7 years to implement crouch ...
But damn this will probably be my very favorite installment. Looks amazing !
Especially with a Co-op mode, my god I have been waiting so long for that.
***** I bet you're basing that off what happened to Watch dogs and Far cry 3 aren't you? you do realize that this is next gen only? it may be scaled down but not nearly as much as the previously mentioned games.
Co-op mode look retarded.
The Best Assassins Creed game ever... Eagerly waiting... !
It looks great from what i've seen! I think it's going to be the best to.
Eagle-y waiting
Hehehe!
These game is next-gen console exclusive, right? No fucking PS3/XBOX360?
Nope. Next gen and PC only.
Never realized it but this game has the best stealth mechanic and free running, where you felt like a assassin
This is truly one of the best AC games ever made. Beautiful gameplay. The story was brief but still loved it.
this moment on 1:04 was so above the line of extremely greatness . Still playing Unity and damm it feels even more goodlooking than valhalla
"A completely new feeling about navigation"
The feeling of thousands of icons bothering you? :D
That only happens when you go on tall buildings and I'm pretty sure you can disable it.
This game was the last game that was ACTUALLY an Assassin's Creed game. Nice, fluid gameplay, with a vibrant, and interactive map, while still feeling like the absolute badass you were trained to be(this time with others!). Amazing narrative story that follows on events from previous games. I miss when Assassin's Creed was this good. If this game had been polished before, or even after launch, it would have gone down as the best in the series.
I´m still waiting for THIS!
+Kled Leo (Soy2Qate)
SLI or Crossfire dude.
+Kled “Soy2Qate” Leo I'm playing this on PC. You won't get it on consoles.
???
I actually liked this game a lot!
Especially the customization in this game, it's just amazing.
Literally the definition of assassins creed right here. Identity is lost now
I still remember how hyped I was for this game.Its sad how things turned out.
Al Adeeb The only thing we can hope is syndicate will fix everything
+Shay Cormac No it won't...
Miklos Penzes Jnr. If you are gonna be negative about it, then it will only be a shit game to you. I think this game will be on the right track this time.
+Shay Cormac that will have invisibility in it....sooooo yeah, shit as well
+Shay Cormac Syndicate DEFINETLY fixed everything. No lag, no glitches (at least not many), no problems. Assassin's Creed Syndicate has to have the best gameplay experience out of all the games in the franchise. Aside from an EXTREMELY short story with a bad ending though.
Bro that lil intro parkour descent is just so amazing
This should have been the best AC game ever! It brought so many new things and it looked amasing. Too bad it was rushed and had so many technical problems. It's a great game though.
After all the major bugs were fixed, Unity became one of the best AC games, honestly.
10 years later and not a single Assassin’s Creed matched the beauty of this one! No ray tracing, old gen, and still looks more beautiful than Shadows.
Shadows ain't even out yet...
@@ipostedthiscomment. it will be the same than mirage or valhalla. Still can't beat ACU
It's crazy how much a single game changed assassin's creed. This and ac origins changed everything
No way the final product will look half this impressive, just like Watch Dogs it will be scaled down.
Boy, were you wrong. Less crowd density is the most noticeable downgrade, but even then it’s close
Game is still good looking even by todays standards
This game looks so utterly beautiful.
Put 100 hours into both origins & odyssey and thought both were really good at the time but just started playing unity again and as crazy as it sounds I think I actually prefer unity style of play over origins & odyssey. Shame this new viking AC going to be the same as origins and odyssey.
ikr rpg sucks
You don’t sound crazy. You sound like you like Assassin’s Creed games.
it would sound crazy the other way around....
Why just WHY that Gameplay is better than the Mirage one?
It's not
@@m.r4841yes, it is
From the snippet we have seen from AC Mirage today, I can now safely confirm that AC Mirage will always live under the shadow of AC Unity. Ubisoft were too premature with the backlash to Unity, believing the parkour mechanics were the problem when really, that was never the problem.
Ac unity to me stacks up with ac2.theyr the best in the franchise
You could show this video today as a next-gen announcement and people would buy it
That decent move at 1:08 - would have been dope to replicate but never was able to replicate it
It's 2021 and here I am still watching AC Unity vids that actually had me install the game again in PC and PS4. Still a very gorgeous looking game up to now. This game really made you feel like an assassin. And the outfits all looked very nice.
I miss the old AC Games :(
R.I.P. Assassins Creed 2007-2015
@Altaïr ibn la'Ahad 2014*
Why does everyone have English accents? I'm going to have to play this in French with English subs if that's possible.
It's weird, considering they made it a point to make the accents fit in the other games. And it's freaking Ubisoft so it's not like they have a shortage of French people.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Kinda ruins the whole atmosphere of "Vive la France!" when they all talk in fucking cockney accents...
Guess I won't be the only person purposely playing in French, then?
Considering Ubisoft is a French company, the game is set in France.... Pretty silly that they put so much work into the creation of this 1:1 scale of Paris, and overlook the dialect!!
parkur, parkur.
tghebien, tghebien.
sorry, don't speak french.
1:09 my most favorite move of all the movement system in unity and in all of AC games. When I first did that I thought I was doing a leap of faith.
It’s 2023 and this is still the most impressively ambitious gameplay demo in the AC franchise.
ACU is the type of game that one can either strongly dislike or strongly love, there's no middle ground.
If this game stayed 6 months more on development this would be a gen start classic.
"Controlled Descent" Oh thank god! No more trying to land on a ledge two feet from you and end up jumping a meter past it and doing a barrel roll in front of some guards...
1:09 is probably the sexiest controlled descent I’ve even seen anyone do at any time in this game.
Hello there, never thought I'd see you here. Love your vids.
Muhammad Ryan Indra Kusuma thanks!
As an assassin we are the blade in the crowd
Man this sentence got me emotional I really miss the old AC
2023 and it still astonishing
Really feel ACU deserves a PS5 remaster that fixes all the issues.
Agreed
9 years later and the graphics are still🔥🔥,just amazing
Imagine if they were given an extra 6-8 months of development to even out the issues instead of rushing the game out. AC would be in a very different place now.
this game is still better than the upcoming Assassins Creed Mirage when it comes to parkour and animation
*I don't think they can manage to render so many peple into the screen and still have it running at 60 frames per second, like at **1:26** . It pains me that I already know this is going to be downgraded hard. Average consumer doesn't have the gpu power to run this.*
I wouldn't mind solid 30 fps on PS4 (that's where i will play) if the game had this awesome graphics
***** Why settle for 30? It affects gameplay.
www.30vs60fps.com/ (turn off stretch)
Also they will probably have to downgrade anyways, seeing how watch_dogs was playing at 900p and xbone was worse, texture sizes etc...It's pretty clear to me.
WwWGraff I know the difference between 30 and 60 fps but i think that for single player games 30 fps are enough but for online 60 fps should be mandatory
But we have to wait and see, we cannot forget that this game is only on current gen and pc so Ubisoft doesn't need to worry about old gen and old hardware and it can focus on better optimization
***** This is what we all hope for. If it comes down to preference, then I can't argue. I still don't want people to settle with what they give them as if were a standard, which it isnt. The difference of fps is terribly noticeable for me and for many others.
By the way, this has online coop as a very important feature...
i play on pc so will still get 100+ fps. LML
This game was way ahead of time. I really wish they reused the unity design and complexity and made a brand new game with those mechanics again.
You didn't need a haystack to get to a street level. You could just let go and grasp a ledge again just before you hit the ground.
Slower, unreliable and looked awful. There's no denying that this method looks awesome :)
true but now you look cool going down to street level
Steven Spall I wonder how it's going to be implemented though. Do you choose how you go down, what bits you grab onto beforehand or is it some seamless and badass experience which has gone completely over my head?
Toisestars619 (using ps4 controller scheme) freerunning and holding x will parkour up a wall. If you freerun towards the edge of a roof and hold O you will parkour down seamlessly.
This is the same game director who made ac revelation and trust me now i understand how much unity is best
