I think it's still a good decision. Even in GoT, Jin Sakai had an internal conflict of maintaining his samurai honor or getting things done in dirty way. So it's clear that Samurai and Ronin never go hand in hand often. So having one character as Samurai ans other as Rohin will also be a good way to show how the life of Rohin differs from Samurai

@kadire5953

Thats literally the point of them sepperating the character roles. Jin left the Samurai pretty much by acting like an Assassin. The point of Yasuke is to remain a Samurai while helping the Assassins. Y‘all would cry again because of historical inaccuracy if they made Yasuke an Samurai-Assassin.

I can't blame them. You gotta talk every 5s or Your KZread channel get strike.

This game is the peak example of "just because something can be done, doesn't mean you have to do it" People are arguing over whether Yasuke was a samurai or not, I'm saying even if he was a Samurai, its not a good idea making him the protagonist of a game centred around Japan & Japanese culture. Yasuke was a single black samurai(if he was a samurai) out of thousands of samurai who were actual Japanese people. If you pick up a history book 99.999% of Samurais were local Japanese people. So the People screaming "rAcIsT" towards anyone criticising the character choice should realise that Yasuke is an exception, not the rule. When making games & movies & other medium, you don't use an exception as a way of representing a certain culture or history. This seems like culture appropriation if you ask me when devs & studios purposely ignore thousands of actual Japanese people & make a black person as the protagonist just cuz a single black samurai existed. By that logic exceptions exist in all cultures & history would y'all have the same energy if people start doing this shit with every culture??? Making an African based movie with a white lead. Making a latino movie with a chinese lead. Making a norse movie with an Indian lead. That's my point. You will always find these exceptions, but that's not the best way to represent these cultures. And if he was a white person, I would have said the same thing. I'm asian myself & I have never ever liked West & Hollywood depicting our culture & history. They always make it about themselves & their identity politics rather than the actual asian people they are making it on.

@KadayiPolokov

Ай бұрын

Agreed. They could have had you play as the Englishman William Adams (the real-life inspiration for Blackthorne in the Shogun Book) and it would be an equally obnoxious move to throw over playing as a Japanese Samurai or Ronin versus a Gaijin. What's even more notable is, that traditionally historical characters have always been NPC in the AC Titles (Leonardo Da Vinci for example), versus playable characters. They could have easily incorporated the character of Yasuke in the game as such, whilst letting you as the player be an original character.

We're back to Templars VS old-school Assassin Brotherhood.

Ubisoft: We want you to experience Samurai and Shinobi, and we couldn't do that with just 1 character? Me: Really? Cause Ghost of Tsushima was able to do it just fine.

@bigskypioneer1898 That's not the point. Plus, Ubi has been MTXing AC to hell for years, and people still buy it. My main issue is this is revisionist history. Little is known about Yasuke, and what little we do know tells us he was little more than a slave/servant of Nobunaga, his sword bearer and used as a court jester from time to time because of his skin color. He was given a sword, but Samurai carried 2 swords and were lords. Yasuke was not a Lord. Nobunaga owned him, and Yasuke followed him around everywhere. Upon Nobunaga's death, Yasuke was imprisoned and then sold back to the Jesuits (who Nobunaga bought him from in the first place). This is revisionist history, and I won't stand for it. They should have stuck to their own corner and made both MCs original characters like they've always done, but now they are trying to push diversity by blowing Yasuke up to mythical proportions, claiming he was a legendary Samurai (which there is no evidence for) and making him into something he's not.

I don't think of rise of ronin as really contributing to the 'good samurai game' pool to be honest. I'm a a stickler for animation quality and graphics generally... I bought rise o ronin, but I haven't been able to bring myself to play it quite yet. And I'm sure I'll finish it before this comes out... but we know what it is with rise o ronin... and in terms of things I value in games... rise o ronin doesn't really do any of it. I love samurai stuff... but I find it hard to get excited for a game that looks how rise o ronin does. And keyley to my feelings... I was pretty disappointed that ghosts of tsushima only had the sword as a proper weapon. The Nagita should also have been a must... so that also left me wanting. (Yes rise o ronin has better weapon variety... but when the whole thing is just such a drag to look at... I can't call that a win) For me, I am hoping this hits enough of the spots without pissing in the project too much with mtx, that I can just enjoy a game I have been anticipating since AC1. I don't need more AC games, and sure, I probably won't need more Ninja/ samurai games... but then that sentiment isn't even remotely true, because obviously ghost of tsushima 2 will be pretty damn excellent...so.. But in my life, I have never been satisfied with the amount or quality of samurai games on the market... so potentially I am just such a weeb that my hunger will never be satiated lol.

Honestly it feels so obvious that the guy main character is there for diversity reasons since he is THE FIRST historical person to be an AC main character, it truly feels like they had to find a way to have at least one "diverse" main character and they chose him because people wouldn't be able to complain because hes a historical person, even tho historical people have never been the player character in AC games before, we interacted with leonardo da vinci, we didnt play as him

It seems to me like it'll be dangerously close to just a reskin of AC Syndicate with a big burly fighter dude, and a stealthy girl. And I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Yeah I was expecting Ubisoft to find a way to shove him in there as a character you meet but they really went all out and made him the main character, lol. The game starts in 1579 or something? So instead of deciding on a period and looking for interesting characters, they just picked the character and decided to adjust the timeline to that. They may as well just call it Assassin's Creed: Yasuke.

Screams DEI. As always.

this looks so good😭

I guessed everything, from the girl being in the higa clan to yassukeen faltering Oda's ambition

6:24 if they’re so concerned with that particular historical accuracy then the playerbase has every right to be concerned with others. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You cannot say “this wouldn’t be realistic” and then say “we can make shit up for this part” and then say “you’re being a racist”. No, they’re just cherry picking what they want to excuse their reasoning for pushing diversity quotas. Yasuke wasn’t a Samurai, women weren’t Shinobi generally speaking. The most common form of female assassins were prostitutes.

Luke, I feel the same way about the Feudal Japan setting like you feel about Ancient Egypt! I am obsessed with that time period in Japan's history. Hell! I just like all things Japanese tbh

In the mid-16th century, Africans arrived in Japan alongside Europeans as servants and slaves. Yasuke, an African man, possibly from Mozambique, arrived in Japan in the late-16th century alongside Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano. He found favor with Oda Nobunaga, the daimyō and warlord, and ultimately became his retainer. - Wikipedia

My guess is… it’s gonna be a mixture of Ghost of Tsushima with a hint of dark souls like combat and or what the previous Assassin’s Creed games combat was. A mixture of splinter cell stealth gameplay for the girl and For Honor gameplay mechanics for the samurai guy. Oh… maybe some Sekiro stuff if they go overboard with gameplay. Basically, it’s gonna be cool for the people that’s into the whole Japanese thing and ghost of Tsushima-soul like games, with Assassin’s Creed name stamped on it.

@@user-jt6rh8xy6n If it's hitbox-based combat, I much prefer how it was done in Origins, honestly. The thing about Origins' combat was that most attacks feel weighty.

It's honestly because Eivor weirdly moves at a much faster pace than NPCs, making her feel far too floaty. Bayek is fast, but his attacks never felt floaty.

@@KrimsonDragoon Previously I didn’t pay that close attention to games as far as developers & inside the gaming industry but with trailers for Black Flag & Origins, when I saw the hood & the hidden blade I just instantly thought Assassin, With Rogue I didn’t get it at launch because I sold my PS3 once I got the PS4 but after it got remastered I found it fascinating to get a different perspective of someone who was betrayed by the Assassins & became a Templar. Odyssey was the first one I really questioned because it didn’t make sense to me that Assassins weren’t a thing for that game & you just play as a mercenary, I don’t like that aspect of Odyssey’s story but Odyssey was probably the most fun to play so as a game it’s great but as an Assassin’s Creed title it doesn’t make sense, same thing for Valhalla, but both the story & gameplay were whatever, just the setting was interesting.
