I skipped Valhalla and Odyssey because they went a more rpg direction. Rather then telling a story of assassins and templars. However truth be told i dont got a favorite they all have a good story and did things to improve the stealth. Mirage went back to its roots on pc a bit so i came back and played.

Regarding the one where the Assassin saves a woman wearing a Templar cross, yeah, she’s a Templar. But they were childhood friends and lovers, before they got indoctrinated into their respective organizations.

To clarify, Elise was raised as/to be a templar. Arno was the orphaned son of a slain assassin, adopted by his father's templar ally (Elise's father) who, out of respect for Arno's dad, chose not to expose Arno to the templars (but also the assassins in the process).

And the title of the game Assassin’s Creed Unity, taking place in the French Revolution, was a period in the universe’s timeframe that has occurred a few times where a sect of the Templars and the Assassins Unite for a common goal instead of their eternal conflict. Like previous posts have said, this was sparked by the fact that the protagonist Assassin was raised with and has a love developed for the female whom he saves which is the girl he grew up with but was raised as a Templar. It received rough criticism as the game was very buggy and a mess at launch due to many things mostly being crunch and terrible management and the familial CEO Yves expecting there to be a new Assassin’s game every year no matter whether it was ready or not. A true shame as the game had so much potential and saw a return to form in some ways. But highly controversial

If you’re confused why in Mirage they’re Hidden Ones instead of Assassins, it’s because the name Assassins appeared a little later. Historical Assassins were a Muslim sect known as the Hashashin because they smoked hashish a lot. The word “assassin” is a bastardization of it. Once, the Hashashin stronghold was besieged by an army. At night, one Hashashin sneaked into their camp and left a feather on the leader’s pillow as a warning. The leader was smart enough to understand and lifted the siege the next day

The Story of Ezio Auditory is told over 3 games (And a short film) and is the best story out of all the Assassin's Creed games. There was a twist in AC2 that was so startling that it blew my mind in a way no other story ever has. (When the gods called him Desmond. I'd forgotten Desmond existed after hours of playing Ezio.) Black Flag has the best gameplay in the series, hands down, they got that gameplay loop in the game perfect. And though they have tried to emulate it in other games, it just hasn't been the same. (AC4 also has one of my all-time favorite cutscenes. Edward Thatch's death was so poetic and tragic I nearly cried.)

I felt like they watered down the parkour system. You could just hold down R2 and you would autoclimb/run across everything. Whereas by the end of the Ezio trilogy you had different techniques for a bunch of different maneuvers to allow you to move around efficiently and it felt rewarding. I might have to replay the trilogy again cuz it's been a while.

So yea, you really hit the nail on the head with the sequel fatigue it experienced. General consensus seems to be that it really started to fall dramatically off after Black Flag as it drifted farther and farther from a coherent story and anything really Assassiny. You mention that a lot of the middle games barely feel like you're an assassin and that is definitely reflected in game as well, it just lost it's roots entirely for a long while. More recently they seem to have been making strong headway back towards the original premise and feeling but they still have a distinct disconnect with the most recent ones being a lot more fantastical than the rest (They were always fairly fantastical, mind, just not to this extent) with various supernatural creatures and myths.

It has the same issue many of the middle games have with the assassins barely being part of the story, having been replaced by a lackluster new gameplay mechanic (in this case running a street gang). But somehow, even the gang feels shoehorned and the assasins *are* shoehorned, so it never commits to either and generally comes out a mess.

@JacobS5005

Ай бұрын

I agree that the series began to fall away from the Assassin identity that is the title of the game. Origins was a telling of the actual origin of the Assassin’s which began as being called the Hidden Ones and remained that way for centuries before evolving into the brotherhood. This was the beginning of the RPG versions of Assassins Creed which had Origins in Egypt, but then diverged into mystical and god things with Odyssey in Greece, and “finishing” so far with Valhalla where you play as a Viking. Mirage is the most recent entry that gave fans of the original games hope that they would return to the true roots of the game and the Assassin’s Creed. I have not played it yet personally but intend to, however the general consensus is that it was not the return fans had hoped for. The CEO of Ubisoft has quadrupled down on Assassin’s Creed but has not listened to the fans and that is where you see Codenames Red, Jade, and Hexe. The CEO has the philosophy that the way forward for the franchise and the gaming community is not compelling stories but how to make games as long and chore filled as possible with as many micro-transactions as possible to increase profits. I grew up with this franchise and I have been saddened to watch it fall apart due to mistreatment of developers. Stifling of creative ideas. And the shift and focus being solely on how to make the most money per player per hour of gameplay rather than making compelling narrative games.

That's the one that ruined the franchise

So assassin's creed's premise is that you strap into a machine that connects to the memories of your ancestors, so there is a singular protagonist who you play as in the modern era, it's just like 80% of the games take place in the memories. They were really onto something with the earlier games, then they wrapped up that story and fell into sequel hell, where rather than trying to tell a story, they just use it as a convenient plot device to throw you into whatever time period/setting that seems interesting. Creating internal stories within each game instead of the overarching story it previously had. The first of them being Blackflag, which a lot of the community still consider the peak of the franchise. But afterwards, the games quickly faded into obscurity from the console mainstays that they once were. Granted, they showed signs of improvement with some of their recent games but not enough to revive the franchise as ubisoft might have wanted it to.

@@kaizammit For Origins the developers did so much in depth research to making the ancient world come alive and be accurate. They had experts at the British Museum, at Harvard University, and of course, in Egypt itself. I found myself pausing the game every hour or so to research small aspects of the world that amazed me. An example - ancient Egypt was chock full of dovecotes (houses for pigeons). The people ate the eggs of the birds and also the birds themselves. The Romans learned to appreciate the dovecotes in Egypt and spread them throughout Europe as their empire spread. Another example - they included a hidden room in one of the pyramids which their experts told them probably existed. Shortly after the game came out penetrating radar confirmed the existence of the hidden room. Just so you know, there is a "Discovery Tour Mode" where you can learn all about ancient Egypt through guided tours of various topics which is completely separate from the game itself, it's just an added bonus. The developers didn't want all their research to go undocumented and unappreciated.

the Ezio trilogy (AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations) and Black Flag are the best games of the whole franchise and, in my opinion, some of the best games of all times.

@@kaizammit I enjoyed it, thanks for the reply! One thing in particular that you have made me think more about is the right choice of slow motion in these and in film generally: better to use it sparingly so it stands out when it is used for characterisation. Something else I was thinking, what are your thoughts on all the cuts during combat? Of course live action needs that because it’s difficult to have a complex action scene in one take, but for animation like this: do you think it would be better to reduce the cuts and do more in one take because they can, or are the cuts better for the audience’s focus?

It's okay to have cuts but when it's needed. I'm a big believer in Hong Kong style fight scenes, show 2-4 moves in one shot and cut on impact. Some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen are in Undisputed 2 and Undisputed 3 (whatever the world tour one is). Check them out on KZread. I'd actually recommend the Undisputed 2 film for a full watch. But those are how you do fight scenes. It's a dance/performance. None of this I can't see what the hell is going on fight scenes.

@@kaizammit Thanks for the reply again and the suggestions, seeing clips for those films, I'm hooked! The cuts feel very natural, as sometimes I'm having to rethink where I'm watching from with some action scenes when they change shots a lot and from a variety of weird angles, but with these I know what's going on right away. Hit the nail on the head with them being dances. I would've enjoyed dance in PE a lot more at school if we did stunts instead of the bloody waltz! Just one more point: forgot to mention about Odyssey, since you were wondering about the cinematic trailer: unfortunately there weren't any for that one, perhaps Digic Pictures who makes them were caught up with other projects that year. But they did do a couple live action ones that were less serious and more comedic instead: a trainspotting parody kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6KjmM-ohZOcibw.htmlsi=hnggI8HddmasAl6C and an Amazon Alexa parody kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZqaepdOEY5upn5c.html Odyssey's story did have a lot of comedy in it, so these don't come across as having the wrong tone to me.

Ac 3 will always be my favorite trailer of them all

Assassins creed 2, brotherhood and revelations my most favorite. Especially AC2 cinematic its so wonderful work

My favorite part was, "Now there's an accent I recognize". 😂

You actually can fight Medusa, Minotaur and Cyclops in Odyssey, also there is a Sphinx with its riddles and in DLC you fight with Hekatoncheir (monster from Greek mitology that hat 100 hands and 50 heads, but in the game it's not actually that big because it would be impossible to fight him)

AHH mate! That sounds awesome.

The assassin’s Creed storyline is actually kind of brilliant. The way they get away with setting each game in a different time., Is that the main characters, that exist in the current day, are using technology to project their consciousness into a person in a different time period, to learn what happened with the assassins organization in the past. there’s a whole mechanic in the Games around this, and the story of each game jumps back-and-forth between the past, and the person controlling the past person

You can’t mistake Shohreh Aghdashloo’s voice for anyone else’s. These days she’s known for her role in The Expanse as the f-bomb dropping grandma in a sari

There was a period in the mid 2000s where *every* AAA game trailer (and a lot of movie trailers!) turned into a music video. If you look up trailers for other games during the same period you'll notice a lot of similarities.

Now you've said that, I can remember some! Clearly was fashion. 👍🏻

Assassin's Creed 2 trilogy has one of the best game trailers of all Time. The Music from Brotherhood gives me always Goosebumps.

I highly recommend you react to all of the bioshock trailers, each one is phenomenal

Unity's is still my favourite just because of the badass teamwork haha

The white hooded guy in ac revelations was Altair, the protagonist in the first game. Due to Ezio's eagle sense, an evolution of eagle vision, Ezio is able to see a phantom of Altair in Altair's home.

59:24 - There was no "play 4 assasins" or something. Unity, like the other ones, is all about one character - this man in blue - Arno.

11:53 this is one of my favorite shots in the AC series cause it's in reference to the first 'leap of faith' performed in the first game towards the beginning where the Assassin's base comes under attack. I never watched the trailers before playing the game, so when I saw Altair's "ghost" and Ezio recreating that moment in the same location during this opening, I lost it

Black Flag was definitely the one I loved playing the most. I love the ship battles. Haven't played any of the new ones, though I want to.

I love them all!!! Each game got better and better...I'm replaying Odyssey right now! (I haven't played Mirage yet)

The Greek and the Nordic AC both have selectable genders, done very well actually (lore wise). From what I understood for both games the female choice is canon, strange that both cinematics show only male MCs. I think it was the same for the AC in London, but I can't quite remember. Very fun video!

Fun thing to note in the final trailer where he cuts off his finger technically they all have done that as part of the ritual of becoming an assassin because with how they wear the blade and deploy it that's the finger that gets in the way and would be cut off anyways

The first three trailers are masterpieces cause they show the concept and the gameplay in a cinematic way which feels natural … in the first trailer we see how through the crowd you get the kill and a chase will erupt involving free running and parkour ending with the franchise’s unique mechanic the blending system … in the second trailer we get the new setting and we see a new mechanic in the game bribing factions like the courtesans to help your assassinations we the fight and the new disarm mechanic also by the end we see the hidden pistol and the advanced parkour… and in the brotherhood trailer we see the pope doing really well a hooded figure that we don’t know who he is as we expected a new protagonist back then we some shadows helping him the cesare reveals that we will have ezio again and of course the gameplay feature the brotherhood of assassins

My all time favourite is AssCreed 2 hands down. The story about Ezio Auditore is based.

28:27 - You're also getting some trailer fatigue. But you're right - they began to focus less on the individual storylines and more on weaving you into the setting and the existing known historical characters.

Assassin's Creed III first trailer will forever live rent free in my head

The war between the Assasins and Templars has been going on for a really long time, and the games are set at various signifigsnt events in history. The Renaissance, The French Revolution, The Golden Age of Piracy, the end if Egypt as an independent Kingdom, the peak of the viking age etc

YES YES YES

Black Flag was so good, insane game

Also AC 4 black flag was incredibly fun to play, I recommend it But yeah they did not get better.

ezio and edward just unforgettable🐐🔥

Black flag is still seen as one of the most fun assassins creeds to play

Assassin's Creed Black Flags didn't only set a new benchmark for AC, but also all pirate games. A must play even though it is quite old

Matt Ryan is the voice of Edward Kenway(AC4) and he's the actor for DC's Constantine || Shay Patrick Cormac(AC ROGUE) is supposed to have an Irish accent but the actor is Canadian

The main guy from Black Flag is voiced by Matt Ryan of Constantine (the TV series fame)

Yea the 3 cinematics with the same character is actually known to the fans as "The Ezio Trilogy". Ezio Auditore da Firenze is the most popular assassin of the series and they blessed us with showing us his ENTIRE LIFE from AC2 with his birth to his death (Slight spoilers but its a older film) in AC Embers (A short film) where he trains an assassin from ANOTHER ac game which I believe is AC chronicles China. He is a legend amongst the assassins along with the guy from the first cinematic Altair Ibn-La'Ahad. Who'se story we also get in the final game of the trilogy Revelations which was the cinematic where he was Old and about to be executed in that castle. More legendary assassins include Edward kenway (Black flag), His son master templar Haytham kenway and the grandson who'se name is Connor Kenway (Original name Ratonhnhaké:ton renamed due to his Native American origin to "Hide" amongst the colonizers) (AC3). I kinda went on a long tangen because of how much I love this series. Even the "Bad" I absolutely love.

@@kaizammit But yes as you kinda guessed by the cinematics a lot of fans tend to dislike the later games because it suffers from the Gameplay side of the Sequel issue. Personaly I don't really see it the only "UNplayable" game I know of is Liberation but that one is understandable because it was I believe for the PSP. Story-wise although it can be confusing Every single AC has a good story that makes sense with context (Rogue being the only exception because Rogue had a very ROUGH development process and has some major plot holes) Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla are known as "The RPG trilogy" Because this is around the time where Ubisoft deviated from the classic AC into RPG mechanics and older players really dont like it. ODyssey is a example of this because these games PRE-DATE The assassins Though something the fans appreciate is Mirage (Prequel to Valhalla) where they showed that they are atleast TRYING to go back to their old roots which made people Love AC to begin with. The story gets kinda confusing later on but its really interesting and pretty damn good

So it was pretty much exactly like you said. They started very strong, then grew very weak. Then immediately jumped back up to very strong again with Origins

I'm really glad that you picked up on the fact that those 3 trailers were the same character, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze. One of the best characters and an amazing story. The figure in white was Altair, the protagonist of the first game. His story is expanded and complete in Revelations, also incredible. The one from the AC3 trailer, Connor, is the grandson of Edward from Black Flag.

brotherhood was my fave one

Wonder why you opted to play the Revelations trailer without dialogue. It adds a lot to the trailer imo.

Assassin‘s Creed black flag is a great playthrough my man another highly recommend! ❤

When you don't have Ambience or SFX (sound effects) it reduces the weight of what you are watching. When you watch something even with your own eyes out of a window, you can always hear something. Having only a soundtrack has the ability in 'trailers' to reduce its impact. If I would have heard the clashing of metal or the movement of their clothes, it would have hit me harder. Instead of it being a soundtrack it becomes a soundscape. That's what you want. Hopefully that makes sense ✌🏻.

I really liked Rogue. It had the ship battles that made Black Flag so good along with the twist of becoming the enemy.
