I don't know how difficult it would have been to implement or recreate Unity's parkour, but it's not as easy as copying and pasting. The two games use different versions of Anvil Next, I suppose that a lot of things would have been incompatible and that a lot of things would have had to be reprogrammed or rebuilt entirely. It would have taken more time and effort and given that this game is based on the Valhalla's version of the engine because it was originally going to be a DLC for Valhalla, they had no reason to change the parkour that much. There is a very good chance that the new parkour system is in development in other Ubisoft studios for the next AC. Parkour and movement are important in AC and it is surely one of the first things that is developed when a new parkour is to be done. There was no reason to make this effort for only a "small" game like Mirage

One of the small complains is that you can never get the parkour 100% right. Like the single leg strides look a little bit robotic in my opinion. Also climbing that crane/elevator has a funny animation launching basim a little too high giving spiderman vibes. Over all cant wait to play this one!

I like the parkour honestly - I always felt the movement should be informed by the characters personality and attitude, for me Basims background as a thief would mean his style of parkour would be focused on speed and efficiency to outrun the authorities as quick as possible, so there’s less need for as much flourish as someone like Arno, with a more exuberant personality who learned to run and climb and leap like he was off on a grand adventure

This parkour reminds me most of AC3 and BF, maybe a little clunkier but with better world design. People only hate on this because it's not as fast/appealing as Unity or as mechanical as AC1-ACRev, but it actually stacks up pretty well with the rest of the franchise and arguably does the parkour better than a few of the major releases that people consider "old AC".

I love the effort they put in the new animations compared to valhalla but I would have loved it even more if it could be a tiny bit faster

It runs surprisingly well for an Ubisoft game. Can even run on old video cards

I feel like they still need to make the horizontal hopping animations smoother and less sticky. Even though it looks more realistic to a certain degree, this is a game. We dont need full realism. Less sticky with each jump would be nice. Other than that, I enjoy the rock climbing aspect of it the most. I need to do this more, for sure.

I hope I will have this game soon marshmellaw
