Ranking The Parkour In Every Assassin's Creed Game

Рет қаралды 280,317

Күн бұрын

The three pillars of Assassin’s Creed are combat, stealth and parkour. And whilst i’ve already made a video going over every combat and stealth system in the series. I have not talked about the most obvious one and that is parkour. There’s a lot to factor in when talking about parkour, such as the world of each game and how it aligns with parkour, how enjoyable the parkour is in that respective game, the difficulty of it, the different mechanics, the animations and so on.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

Ac syndicate's parkour is so unbelievably underrated. The grapple hook is the most underappreciated gameplay feature in the entire franchise. For the first time in an assassin's creed game, i almost never had to climb down a building to continue my parkour to the other side of the street and i found that revolutionary and incredibly helpful. The main complaint i usually see about syndicate's parkour is about how the buildings are so massive and the streets are so large which makes parkour a bit tiring to do,when the literal point of the grapple hook is to be the solution to this issue. The buildings and streets seem massive only if you don't use the grapple hook. If you do use it you never have to climb down a building and the parkour continues flawlessly.The parkour movements are great, not as great as unity's, but still the second most realistic-looking in the franchise. Of course it has it's problems, with the main issue being the lack of a jump button. But i really don't understand why the parkour is so hated by many fans

@oscarjenkins7505 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, but if you’re using the grapple hook that often, then you’re not doing much parkour. Syndicate is controversially my favourite game in the whole series, but I had this same problem with the parkour. I’d grapple in between buildings, climb over the roof of the next building, grapple again, climb over again, etc, etc. It’s not even really parkour at that point. I think the grapple hook could’ve been an amazing feature if it was more of a choice to use it. I didn’t like it because you’re forced to use it if you want somewhat fast movement, rather than being able to go between buildings naturally but having the choice use the grapple hook if you want to.

My only gripe with the Revelations parkour is that I felt like compared to the other games in the trilogy Ezio would often stumble to one knee when jumping to a ledge that was at a slight angle. This would occasionally happen in the previous games but it was definitely at its worst here. I’m not sure if it was a coding issue or something to do with the environment but it breaks the flow of parkour quite significantly and looks kind of clumsy. Even in this video alone you can see it numerous times. Other than that Revelations is a great game overall.

finally someone that notices it. yeah, 27:33 it is giga annoying. and it is in brotherhood and AC2 as well. if you jump at a ledge in an angle more than 45° horizontally than Ezio breaks the speed and does this. but altair ALMOST never does it, it is so freeing in ac1 you can just leap and zip all over ledges at crazy angles and Altair will land elegantly and maintain speed gracefully and it feels amazing. but with ezio there is always this doubt while leaping at angles bit more than 45° where he will stumble everytime and lose all momentum. i never understand why they changed this from AC1. in AC1 it is much more forgiving, literally the only reason i enjoy AC1 parkour more than Ezio trilogy cuz as Altair i dont constantly have to 2nd guess myself during leaps. stuff like at 27:33 happens a bit too much in ezio trilogy but rarely in AC1 i have seen quite few parkour ranking videos but literally nobody mentions this

I just introduced my 8 year old brother to this series and started him with AC2 because that was my favorite when I was his age although I did play AC1 first. But it’s really cool to see him get excited about movement in a game that’s nowhere near as fast or flashy as Fortnite. He actually gets hyped on the feeling of improving at the game and having to get better at the mechanics. You know you’ve made a good gameplay system when it’s challenging but also rewarding and in turn makes players excited to get more into it.

I actually would prefer ac 1,2 and unity over revelations. The classic games were all about finding the quickest way through observing and mastering environment and system. But the addition of hook blade kinda removed the need to master the parkour system. As an example, you don’t really need to use side/back ejects to climb the buildings faster, the hook blade just does it. I personally think ac2 has the best parkour specially in Venice

Great to see all different types of AC parkour in one video. Thanks! Aside Valhalla I‘ve played all games and I can agree with your ranking when it comes to technology and skills. I also like the parkour of the Ezio trilogy and the challenges it brings to the game. On the other hand I’m pretty sure that a lot of players where frustrated by it and gave up. Unity parcour (especially with ACU fixes) is much more player friendly. It still has weaknesses like the mentioned long jumps but it's very enjoyable. On the other end the one button parkour of Odyssey and Origins is so boring that I decided to skip Valhalla. Mirage got my attention after the patch and to be honest I really like it. The round city is one of the most parkour friendly settings of the whole series. AC has a huge player base with a wide range of expectations and a wide variety of player skills. I believe the only way to satisfy new and old school fans is to introduce selectable difficulties for Stealth, Parkour and Combat. Mirage has shown the possibility for Parkour. Also difficulties for Stealth could easily be changed by the observed range and the reaction time of guards. (guards from Origins to Mirage are so sleepy that I was shocked when I recently played AC III for the first time 😂) Also Combat should be solvable. A one button hack and slay mode for beginners and a Witcher I combat system for me.😉🙃

I've said it before, Revelations is the best AC game ever made. It had all the aspects of the brotherhood, leadership, parkour, combat, exploration, story, everything you want in an AC game, it had it. That's one thing I really missed in black flag was the parkour and the brotherhood that Revelations did flawlessly. You really felt the end of Ezio's life as an old man that had hundreds of years of experience as an assassin while still being somewhat young, yet being one of the top leaders of the biggest assassin org in the history of the world, and YOU played as him. It was an amazing experience in my childhood.

The only really bad part of AC1’s parkour is how slow Altaïr climbs. Which when you have to constantly locate objectives by climbing towers, the slow climbing just makes it a painful process.

Haven't played all the games but this seems like a very agreeable list. Personally I found the lack of directional control in Unity frustrating enough for me to rank it below AC4 and AC3, and maybe even Syndicate. I haven't played any of the games older than AC3 yet though, nor Mirage or Rogue. So no comment there. But I think I'd rank AC4 above AC3. Kingston is slightly better for parkour than Havana in my opinion. Just love how the buildings, trees etc. are perfectly distanced from each other there, it's the only area in all of the games I've played so far where I've felt motivated to just run around enjoying the parkour for a bit. I also think AC3 suffers a bit more from very samey looking buildings everywhere, so it doesn't take long before you've seen it all essentially. Same can be said for Unity though, I found that entire city sections seemed literally copy pasted there. I also think Unity lacked open spaces. That's partly why I'd consider ranking it below Syndicate. I actually think having transitions between confined and open spaces offer a nice change of pace/flow for the parkour (if done right at least), as well as more variety in aesthetic. But I've not finished Syndicate, haven't even gotten the grapple hook yet. So it depends on how much I like that mechanic, it looks pretty neat though from what I've seen and I wouldn't be surprised if I end up preferring Syndicate over Unity overall once I've finished that one.

The extra environmental tools in Rogue, in my opinion, make it significantly better than 3 and 4. The best ziplines, ropes swings outside of the ships, lifts that go up or down or both, a few hollow tree stumps. It adds some great options.

@huyvouc9785 3 ай бұрын

that's some good points for Rogue, though. But still, I think there is one thing that ultimately holds back Rogue's parkour, and that's the level design. Most of the maps in Rogue are sea, and there is only one city: New York. Compared to NY in AC3, while it's true that there are ziplines, ropeswings and stuffs, and they are very few on the map. If you notice, in Rogue's NY there seems to be much much less parkour objects and parkour route, even though it's the same location in AC3. AC3 NY offers more parkour objects and parkour routes, not to mention the ability to parkour through windows/doors - the thing that they throw away in Rogue. One more thing to mention, is that the height of buildings in Rogue is lacking the variety, so it fells flat compared to other ACs. That said, I don't think that AC3 is better than Rogue that much in terms of parkour. AC4 is the only game in the Kenway era that can take the W in parkour, since it offers the best parkour level design with multiple layers of heights and so many parkour objects and parkour routes to explore.

Unity is great visually, but that's all it has in terms of jumping in a game and having fun with little to no grind/ wasting your time and not having restricted gameplay mechanics honestly I'd agree the older games just put you into the game let you did whatever however you wanted W video bro keep it up 👍.

@shira_yone 3 ай бұрын

I think it really depends on how much someone values parkour down. I put Unity and AC1 high up because I love smooth downward movement, something that is strangely lacking in a series that have some emphasis on vertical movements. If you watch irl parkour videos, it's really the downward movement that is the highlight tbh (dives, vaults, rolls, landing).

Sure, but that doesn't negate the video's point about animations vs player input. The same applies to controlled descent. You click "free run down" and Unity does it for you. You have little control which way he descends, something the earlier games gave you more manual control over. @@shira_yone

@shira_yone 3 ай бұрын

@@Im_Blitz more manual control for descents? Are you serious or is this just Unity automation hate boner thing? Most you can do for descending in the classic creed (except 1) is just falling of a ledge or jump off, there is no actual control around it other than grabbing something on the way down which Unity still have, just way way more limited. In Unity you can *choose* how to descend: vault down a ledge (parkour down), the usual fall off of it ala classic creed (parkour neutral, same input as the older games), and jump off or even dive down (tap parkour up). Of course the outcome of the last one especially, isn't consistent because of, for the most part, unreliable automation system, but that's still more control available to the player over what the older games offer. Combine that with manual roll and the unfathomably cool wall side dismount, along with the abundance of verticality in Paris, practically 40% of parkour I do in Unity are descents; vertical climb into side eject, into vault down into a dive onto a rope/beam off to the ground with manual roll, never gets old. AC1 with vault down and more reliable ledge grab does feel way more intuitive overall, but it's not exactly more controls for descents over Unity.

in my opinion every game after revelations was too automated. im optimistic about the future of parkour in the franchise as mirage had much improved traversal especially the map design. so if they could make the side ejects, jumps and back ejects have a trajectory and be predictable again and have the map be designed with parkour in mind then the rpg future would be a good blend of the good from the past and the good from the new. that is if they continue with what they built with mirage, actuall tools instead of magic abilities. the map doesn't need to be completely in a city either, nature can also be designed for parkour, aswell as the urban areas and encampments we stumble apon in our jurneys. also ac2 in my opinion has the best map and system for parkour.

@matejberan-ug3tu 3 ай бұрын

now this is what i call a good ranking, the newer AC games put us in the illusion that swift parkour=good parkour, good parkour is rather the mechanics, ac1 certainly deserved it´s place, altough the vaulting technique isn´t freely acessible like you see it on the icons but still is a thing that can be done

Revelations and AC3 are my fav assassin's creed games, and the parkour is surely one of the reasons, in AC3 you feel heavy and the parkour is satisfying to watch (i find it nicer to look at than AC unity imo) and Revelations instead has the greatest parkour in terms of gameplay, it's incredible.

When it comes to parkour, I believe that people mix up the definitions of parkour and freerunning. Parkour is solely just getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. Freerunning is basically that but trading out speed and efficiency for flashy moves and aesthetic appeal. In terms of parkour, AC1 and the Ezio games had the best, Unity has the best freerunning, and for a mix of both that would go to Three, Black Flag, and Rogue

While unity looks nice one of the biggest things about the parkour of assassins creed is how to make sure you plan correcty for maximum efficiency. The early ac games punished you for not looking ahead for movement which allows you to feel badass when you did move properly. One of the downsides for revelations was that the hookblade had too much forgiveness for mistakes. I did like the speed it provided but allowed me to turn off my brain alittle too much.
