i assume those are early shots as theres no sky. least i hope so because the lighting looks like fucking shit. not interested to play as a dirty frenchman either. hopefully the rumored russian game also due this year ends up being cool.

[Raban]

when I saw the news post for this I realized there's TWO upcoming AC games. jesus fuck when does it end

[Himu]

I want China. Or Africa. Or Japan. Fuck off white people.

[tiesto]

I want an AC set in India...

[Positive Touch]

they have all of world history to use and yet we get stuck with euro history 101. I was hoping 4 would shake it up a little with the Caribbean but it was still 99% about euro pirates.

can't wait til they set one in ww2 :hippolol

[Positive Touch]

in the meantime we should all go play that Saudi uncharted knock-off

[benjipwns]

"Unity" is a strange codename for a game set during the French Revolution.

can't wait til they set one in ww2 :hippolol

World War I, lots of trenches and barbed wire and mud and dysentery and week long artillery barrages.

Plus next-gen destructible environments plz:

[benjipwns]

We already had Ass Creed in WW2/Nazi-occupied France and it was great:

that didn't stop ac3 from happening

I wish something had stopped AC3 from happening.

I've been saying WWI AssCreed would be fun for years now.  Zeppelins, biplanes, U-Boats, Mata Hari.  If you're thinking just trench warfare, you're not using your imagination.

Guys. It will never happen. If history classes in the US have taught us anything white people will not do change the narrative of history. It is Euro cock sucking only.

[Himu]

Same.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah I've been to Jodphur fort, really stunning place. But the surrounding city isn't really Ass Creed material.

But I've only been around India for 5 weeks so you probably have more first hand experience then me Great Rumbler.

Be too stupid to realize some of the biggest and most geometrically complex cities in the world are in india, brehs.

Be a moron, brehs.

What city are we talking about that is Ass Creed material?

You just say vague things without pinpointing anything concrete.

There are stunning places in India yes, but I haven't seen any stunning city as a whole.

But sure, just throw random remarks around without backing it up, brehs.

You're Indian right? Must have been there a lot and know what you are talking about. Show me something real then or shut the fuck up, breh.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I dunno Esch, I've been to Firenze and I played Ass Creed 2 and you know what? Looks the same!

Thats the thing about many old cities in Europe like Rome, Paris etc. Lots of what made them nice is still very well preserved.

There are really amazing places in India like Hampi, so I guess they could reimagine that.

Edit: Thing is if you go to BC, then will the stupid AC plot even make sense?

I agree AC should venture beyond the western world cause it's boring.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hey I'm from Warsaw, nothing is old there thanks to the Germans. But yeah mostly Europe is lucky and rich as fuck to preserve the past.

I think India has it tougher then lets say China, because it lacks the engineering the Chinese have, the economic boom is service oriented and not industrial as such.

The best preserved place I've seen in India is Jodphur fort, the guy that owns is has done an amazing job with everything there. You can really see he is proud of his families past. On the other hand you have something like Red Fort in Delhi, which is just 

Anyhoo I hope you weren't offended by mud huts. India is cool in my book, even if I had Delhi belly errrdaaay for five weeks.

Any european civ and they go with the French

I did spent like half a day thinking the title was an in-development placeholder name and built in the Unity engine for some fucking reason and was REALLY blown away that they were able to pull it off in that engine.

[thisismyusername]

Im pretty impressed by ubisofts unwillingness to let the series leave cacland. All they have to do is set a game in japan and all the weaboos will buy it. Theyre so committed to reusing assets that theyre making us play as the French.  What part of the game is this?

Though I think a better question is: How well do those expansions/side-games sell compared to the main game and why is that/racism or not if that's the case. But that's for another time. Point is: Shut up. :p

[Diunx]

Fuck the French, not like I was buying this anyway, I stopped supporting Ubibore back in the ps2 days.

a no-budget handheld title and a piece of dlc is your counterpoint? son...
point is there's huge empires all throughout history that have never been represented in western media let alone videogames, and it would be pretty awesome to see that instead of something that's been done to death in a series that refuse to evolve.

[a slime appears]

If you're looking to get your AP World History credit through video games you're doing it wrong.

[Positive Touch]

I just want some unique visual design breh 

[a slime appears]

You are right, though. Would like to see an Asian setting at some point. I mean there's already game lore for it: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Chinese_Assassins

My counter-point is, they have done it before. The problem is: They don't do it often enough.

This game was awesome and doesn't get enough credit. Comparing each of its features to other games which used those features exclusively, it shows poorly; taken on its own, it was a tour de force. I especially liked the method for increasing character abilities. I was constantly looking for opportunities to fulfill the next condition, to unlock the next tree. I remember the time I had to "blow up five enemy vehicles with a single explosive," and lo and behold, I encountered a convoy of Nazi trucks which were stalled off the side of the road. Just so satisfying to make stuff happen. The black-and-white vs. color transition was good; the cutscenes were pretty tight; the voice acting by Fringe's John Noble put everyone else to shame, sadly.

Have you been following the WATCH DOGS graphics debacle? If this was a marketing "leak" then it would make sense that these are doctored.

As for Assassins Creed overall, I'm probably like the only person who wants an entire adventure set in their present-day or near-future setting, showing where the assassins, illuminati, et al have led the world; specifically what their influences have wrought which would otherwise not exist.

I suspect McDonalds and Starbucks.

The Saboteur is one of those games like Prince of Persia (2008) this last generation where I think a sequel that learned from the mistakes of the initial design and had the time to polish that the first game didn't would have wound up being an all-time classic.

But we never got 'em. 

It's kinda like if Ass Creed had stopped after the first game.

Prince of Persia 08 seemed boned because it was a reboot that floundered.  Then the series got a, uh, deboot to coincide with that movie.

agreed about The Saboteur, but I recall its was release after pandemnic was closed down.  I think it was pandemic's first "next gen" game, who were still making PS2 ports as late as whenever mercenaries 2 came out.

also, Bionic Commando.  the swinging and arena combat of that game are a lot of fun.

[Rahxephon91]

I really liked PoP 08. It was a really relaxing game with a great structure that allowed for easy pick up and play. "Oh I'll just go do this area for 15 mins". A really charming game. It's a shame it ends on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved.

The Sabetour was also pretty damn good.

[benjipwns]

Prince of Persia 08 seemed boned because it was a reboot that floundered.  Then the series got a, uh, deboot to coincide with that movie.

Initially they were saying that game was just to tie-in with the movie and there was a real sequel in the works. But I assume they just canned it and moved all those employees over to Ass Creed.

agreed about The Saboteur, but I recall its was release after pandemnic was closed down.  I think it was pandemic's first "next gen" game, who were still making PS2 ports as late as whenever mercenaries 2 came out.

Pandemic didn't actually make the Merc 2 PS2 port, which is a pretty uh...interesting piece of work in its own right. But yeah, they were basically dead men walking after that The Dark Knight game got canned and were really just still around to release The Saboteur.

The patch for the game was basically unofficially released by the ex-employees.

I'm surprised EA never got around to that third Mercs game. Though I don't know the sales figures of the Mercs franchise, this is the same company that found reason to put out three Army of Two games.

That's a good point.

Wasn't there a rumor that the third game would be a mobile/social crapfest?

Yeah, you can decapitate people, but their heads are gonna look like Madballs

The look like sprites.

[Eel O'Brian]

Maybe Ubisoft will learn one day that they'd avoid a lot of backlash if they stopped showing wildly optimistic target renders and CGI.

[bork]

So sharp!  Look at that lighting and shadows!

 

[Rufus]

So that's why they look like sprites to me. Pre-rendered (?) self-shadowing, but they cast no shadows otherwise.

[Positive Touch]

anyone wanna take bets on how many more years ubis got?

[Rufus]

20 AssCreeds worth, which is about 7 years.

[Rahxephon91]

lol You think Ubi is going anywhere? They have tapped into the vapid open world genre like no body else's business. People eat up thier terrible games made up of tedious activities like nobodies business.

Far Cry, Assassins Creed, and Watch Dogs all big hits. Soon the Division. They are going to be around for quite awhile.

[Bebpo]

Kind of looking forward to this just for the gorgeous new animation while running around and 1:1 Paris exploring + that crazy spoiler shit that got spoiled last week which gives me hope for ACII levels of crazy shit vibes. 


As long as they don't churn out another AC3 anytime soon, I'll probably keep buying this series and putting 50 hours in each year.  AC IV was quite nice even with its repetition and OCD bullshit.  Liked the story and sailing atmosphere a ton.  AC1 was bad but a start, AC2 was awesome, AC:B was fun enough, AC:R was still fun just less so and AC3 was fricken terrible.


After seeing the PS4 leak shots though I'm so glad I just built an overpowered gaming computer 2 weeks ago!  Console versions already starting to look shit a year into the new gen.

I love how it has the game's M rating.

[TVC15]

This is like the most unpolished game ever, but I'm digging it so far. The resolution and framerate and pop in seem to be getting all the attention, but it's probably one of the generally buggiest console releases I've played in memory. In 4 hours I've had the game crash and dump me to the PS4 dash twice, fallen through the world, and gotten in some weird animation glitch that left me floating over an alley and required me to restart. Also, the new climbing animations glitch really really frequently, particularly while descending.

Assassin’s Creed: Unity Framerate Is “Atrocious”

November 11, 2014

Assassin’s Creed: Unity is out today in the US, but some people seem to have been getting their copies early with videos of the game appearing on YouTube yesterday. Unfortunately, some of those people who got their hands on the game early are reporting that there are significant technical problems with Assassin’s Creed: Unity, most notably the framerate.

“Seriously I get the game is massive, but jesus the framerate in this game is atrocious,” said Reddit user Merkwerk talking about the PS4 version of Assassin’s Creed: Unity. “It’s not even close to a locked 30 fps, it feels like it’s running at 20 something most of the time and I’ve had it drop way below that a couple of times already.”

Or there’s this from Shehan 1993: “Are you guys experiencing pop ins and huge frame rate drops especially in huge crowds? I’m playing on the ps4. Got any advice to fix this?”

No, you’re not the only one Shehan, iQuebec says: “I think my PS4 is dying because I’m having a lot of problems with framerate and textures lately, now I’m playing the part where you have to blend in the crowd to get past the guards and the clothes textures pop in big crowds is horrible. Is it really my PS4 or games just run poorly lately?”

It’s not only the PS4 version of the game that seems to be suffering, either. Xbox One users are also complaining about issues with Assassin’s Creed: Unity’s framerate.

“I would like to warn anyone thinking about buying this game,” said thewouldbeking. “I got it with my Xbox bundle. I just started it, and it runs sub 30 frames per second constantly. I would advise to wait until its fixed or not buy it at all. It is practically unplayable.”

It’s disappointing to hear that there are such significant issues with Assassin’s Creed: Unity. However, it’s worth remembering that Ubisoft quickly improved the performance of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag with early patches. Hopefully it will do the same here.
