It's purely because graphics haven't improved much since, Battlefront 2015 still looks better than a lot of newly released games, which is insane because Unreal 5 demos have shown us that Graphics still have a lot further to go, it's just games releasing aren't reflecting any of this. It boggles my mind how some newer games like Cyberpunk can be so lacking in detail and basically just spent their entire graphics budget on lighting while the rest of the game looks comparable to some games from 2014, while Battlefield 1 runs at well over around 90fps at 8k on my 4090

I can definitely feel the 9 years difference. Mirage back then was so cluncky, and parkour was so basic, animations also. With the launch of Unity, the series are on a whole new level for sure!

Unity has 3 or 4 times of day lightning. Morning, noon, evening, and night and switches between these high quality baked in lighting for the whole map. They take up a good amount of the file storage size, but it is the reason why unity looks so good, without being too hard to run. I never noticed until someone told me but it would be nice to see something like this come back. Like I don’t care if the sun is constantly moving through the sky, especially if it looks that good.

Now ten years later, when Unity receives long-deserved praise, the question arises whether the same people who ten years ago it was ridiculed and now praise and do not understand what is the matter.

I've been saying this since 2014, but louder since 2015 when Syndicate came out. Unity has been the peak of animations. When I played AC2 one of the little things I loved the most doing were trying out new weapons and finding new execution animations. I remember you couldn't get a spear in the game, but you could pick one up if you killed an enemy that had one, and they had their own animations for execution. Those little details were really fun, and unity was the best. You had animations and executions depending on your weapon, speed, targets, how close the targets were to a wall or surface, if there was any character to show off elaborate and graceful executions that almost look like dancing it was the frenchman. I really wish they went back to that attention to detail, but I guess this new engine just doesn't allow for that because I wouldn't imagine they just scrapped it for no reason.

The thing i miss the most about unity was the multiplayer, correct me if there are other AC games that have this feature, but I remember how incredibly hype i was when i see the trailer and how you and 3 of your friends coordinate to infiltrate the Versailles Palace while the crown it out there in pure havok, and that you can provoke the crown to assault the palace if you kill the Liutenant at front, and you you merge with the horde, it's just something I really wish other games would have included.

The issue is that AC fans are divided like a million different ways about the franchise. - some care about just gameplay - some care about the story -some don’t care about overarching story and only care about whoever the new assassin is in the animus’ story - some literally only care about parkour - some literally only care about stealth And you have all of these people - who do not agree - giving Ubisoft feedback as to how the next game should be like. Tbh I sympathise with them. It’s an impossible situation to be in. But at the same time, if they just took their time and delivered a product that catered to everyone instead of churning these out once every 1 or 2 years, it would be great. Or better yet, screw what the fans think and just try to improve on what came before.

I like how games are now going back to their roots like literally starting from 0 or deleted all their files. How is a game from almost a decade ago got more animations from today when we have more powerful hardwares now. It baffles the mind. Games before got details and crowds, all of the sudden it takes too much power and energy to make. This is not just an Ubisoft problem.

Using footage of Mirage with a freerunning bug & showing the most polished version of Unity acting like that wasn't the most broken garbage at launch is kind of rich & shows a truckload of bias (even if I agree with the general sentiment of the video)

Take it from a guy who played all AC titles. Unity really was something fresh and new so much fun after the patches it runs nice. For what you get nowadays Unity should have been where they could have perfected the parkour even more throughout the years that's when Origins released many of us were with question marks of how different AC has changed. Playing ACM now and honestly what the heck the parkour is not close to Unity or even Syndicate honestly hope they can incorporate Unity's parkour which is amazing and make it even better.

I never played Unity at launch, it was about a year later for me so I didn't have to deal with the issues. For me that was the best AC game.

These games are 9 years apart * both games are equally good looking *

Unity prioritization of parkour is gameplay-wise for a dense and compact populated city scale of Paris. no mounts with how crowded it is, the pacing of the on-foot traversal made you appreciate the surrounding details and atmosphere more, making it an immersive experience.

I still remember when ac unity released everyone just criticised this game for unsupported hardware and glitches but when i started to play this game it was an instant hit for me & still shining like a gem for me.

Playing unity in 2014 did feel like playing a game from the future, turns out thats what it was. Unity was literally my first ps4 game. Looks better and feels smoother than 2023 ps5 ac

The game definitely has its flaws, the animations can be repetitive and there's definitely less freedom, but it's not a terrible parkour, they did their best with what they had.

I always felt Unity was an extremely underrated game. I mean, sure, it had a bit of a bumpy ride when it first came out but it's still a really fun game to play that is also absolutely beautiful to look at. I may be biased here, but I always liked Unity's late Medieval / early modern setting and aesthetics more than any other Assassin's Creed game and how it mixed the dark, gritty side of Paris with its gorgeous architecture. I even played it with the French audio, which made it even more immersive. The city felt alive and vibrant. The parkour felt smooth and the combat was pretty solid - it didn't feel clunky like in the older games nor did it feel too arcade-ish like in the newer ones. I'll do admit that the story was somewhat uninteresting, but that appears to be the general pattern among modern open world games, where they stitch together a bunch of mini-plots that end up not being very memorable in the end. With better writing and without the awkward, unpolished initial release, this could have easily been considered one of the best games of its era.

Have this sense that newer games have certain qualities exaggerated for the masses while titles from like 2014-2016 are like perfect blends of everything to mimic true eye candy.

It is worth mentioning that Unity was released too early in Gen 8 and had severe performance issues, it was pretty clear that the studio overshot the capabilities of the consoles it was released on. It would be until the Series X launched and gave the title full FPS Boost support that it ran flawlessly at a full 60fps thanks to the additional operational overhead that the Gen 9 hardware could provide

We really are back at the roots - all the upgrades done to the series over the years are gone now, we're back to the basics.

Man, not even since they removed some stuff from the basics. Where's the catch ledge? Where's the side ejects? Heck, why does Basim only do one animation sequence whenever he does a counter kill when Altaïr was already styling on Templars with at least two or three unique animations for each weapon? Speaking of weapon, how come there's no option to literally fight with JUST the Hidden Blade?

If you think about it, there is no generation leap since ps3 came out. We play the same game all over just with better resolutions and textures. Gameplay mechanics are the same since 2006

Ok, this proves it. Gamers live off nostalgia. Unity was the most bashed game of all time upon release, and now it's being praised as being as good or better than current ones.

everybody knows that, even so, Unity right now is in a pretty good place compared to its launch.

I'm having a harder time believing 2014 was 9 years ago
