Recomend watching this guy's video. He really does a great breakdown of the combat and it looks pretty cool

Putting harsh parkour and stealth restrictions on Yasuke sounds so dumb, the combat doesn’t look strong enough for a character to solely focus on it

if they made the characters play the same like they did in Syndicate then people would criticise as well lol

You can see in this video Yasuke wearing a templar armor? Is it possible he will actually be one? It'd be interesting since they're supposed to be the opposite of each other

honestly idk why he wouldn’t have those restrictions he’s legit huge i kinda like it’s not just oh he’s just a reskin of her so you’ll have to switch between both to do certain
parts in missions

All depends on how well they execute it. Some of the examples skill up gave in the video sounded super annoying though.

Like he was trying to climb a tower as Yaskue to sync a viewpoint.

• Get to the top, Yasuke says he’s too big to climb
• Go into the menu and select Naoe
• Wait 20 seconds for the characters to change
• Climb tower and sync
• Wait another 20 seconds and switch back

I think having 2 completely different feeling and playing characters could be a changeup the series needs. But if there’s going to be a bunch of moments like the one in the video I’m holding for a deep deep sale.

I mean they want you to change characters depending on the situation, that's the whole point and that applies to combat, parkour and exploration.

I could be down with that if the switching didn’t look so tedious. Hope they can prove me wrong, but so far it just looks annoying.

On a more positive note the game looks really pretty, I love the location variety shown so far

Game should’ve solely focused on the ninja girl for peak AC experience. No more pandering to both sides, it’s time to let the “new” AC formula to die and bring back the old

Tbf they did that with mirage and nobody played it

Mirage felt kinda half baked n cynical in that sense, like they were just throwing us old-AC fans a bone like “here damn”. The mechanics from new-AC are still kinda there and their emulation of the old parkour system just sucked.

Also overall the setting didn’t look too interesting. I’d love to see them actually commit to trying to top the parkour/movement of unity for once

Looks better than Ghost but the haters will never admit it

mirage was very disappointing in my opinion

Japan would’ve been the perfect setting for it

you get the dlc with the game if your preorder

“Better” is much

Looks good though. Like the first good nu-AC game. If reviews are good I might just cop

Ghost had the advantage of being the first AAA open world samurai game, that for some reason no one was doing. That game had a lot of the same problems people accuse Ubisoft of having but people gave it a pass. The combat and visuals were great to be fair.

lol they're going in at these haters

Work in progress yet the game comes out in 2 months.

I am curious what you all think Ghost is doing better than Shadows...Ghost took the Ubisoft formula and added the polish and game direction that was missing from previous AC games, but it looks like AC caught up.

whatever the current build is, is almost never the one that’s being playtested

I think shadows might be origins tier
But screw.ubi for making Valhalla s*** was boeing af
