well... for me, it's not about the connection or bp...Sad but that's how the world is now.

Sad to say it, but I'm unimpressed by AC Shadows. Even its name sounds lame. I doubt I'll buy this one. Also, why no Japanese male protagonist alongside the female? As a gay man, I've had to sit there as ubisoft made my entire demographics playable character options "none canon" in two games in a row. It doesn't sit easy with me, seeing Asian men discriminated like my demographic has been.

@@chrismoore5333as a black man, why are you so against yasuke being used as a protag? Why do you dislike Japanese women? Sounds like you have some issues

@@goby1764 I didn't say either of those things. Your offended because you think black is always better. That's your problem not mine. My boyfriend is black for the record. But I'm not blind to the truth that the people working with the team behind AC Shadows have said before Asian men are apparently "white adjacent" which is why they don't want a Japanese guy as a protagonist. Similarly all gay/bisexual male protagonists have been made none canon, with the exception of Jacob, who had his sexuality made more subtle, and he had to share a game with bland old evie. He is the first to represent a minority group, in a game written by a gay man. Evie is the second and one of many female protagonists who are all canon. Do you have a dislike for Japanese guys or gay/bisexual guys as protagonists? That's what it looks like to me.

⁠​⁠@@chrismoore5333 Yes… Asian male protagonists are rare in series or films unlike Asian women and for once there can be an Asian male in a big license, we oust him. I like Yasuke but for once, if I can get an Asian guy, I will be happy 😅 Of course, there is Rise of the Ronin, Tsushima and many other games. But I've been waiting for an AC which takes place in Japan for so long... If a next AC set in Africa, I don't think my dev gonna risk to put an Asian guy to be the main character... If there is one during the set of the story.

good for u 😂

Ubisoft are the least trustworthy company, let alone the fact they discriminate against Asian men and gay/bisexual men in these games. (All gay/bisexual male protagonists have been made none canon, apart from one who was forced to share their game with another character, and now we don't get an Asian guy alongside the girl in the new game.)

@@Steveo0547bruh that’s what Ubisoft said

@@mack1305 literally!

In Mirage aswell it ain’t new?

They had one in the original Assassin’s Creed in 2007 if i’m not mistaken lol

Why would they shut down the servers on a single player game? It’s not a 2k game, yk

They just tweeted about this you need internet connection to install and you can play offline if you want

It’s to keep that whole we can pull the licensing whenever we want and update the unfinished game we released to fix the bugs that resulted in AC Unity.

They have released a statement a few hours ago. It will not require an Internet connection to play. People just love to spread false info. 😂

@@topcat5553Internet connection is *required to install* the game. Bottom line: the day they decide to shut down the AC Shadows servers (and inevitably, they will) your disc will become a very expensive coaster, reinstalling your 80€ game will simply be impossible.

Well thats a stupid thing to do these days...

I against pre-ordering, always have been. But let the man do what he wants with the money he earned...

@@jairverplaats153 If you wanna pre-order games with your money go right ahead, but don't also be mad when they deliver a poor product. It's not like Ubisoft has a history of bad quality or anything.

@@shizzy8250 that is exactly why I'm against pre ordering, these companies always go above and beyond to give you the least amount possible and charge you as much as they can..

Well, considering they talk about games... isn't that necessary for them to review this particular version of game for content?

Bro who is "we"

Why do you care what other people do with their money?

@@BeanBlaster21 because it affects everyone else. you are missing the point.

I may be retarded, but I genuinely don't really get the argument against preordering. Well, sort of. Yeah, it's a stupid thing to do, but who cares what someone chooses to do with their own money? (Within reason, of course.) You can advise against preordering, but something about how much people tear some folks who do it to shreds really makes me raise an eyebrow.

cause gotta get those analytics in they're sheep, the game is an avoid and any smart consumer realizes that but many just go from one big game to the next cause they don't care to think about their purchase and its consequences after

same here

You literally can replay GoT multiple times before this game’s release.

Boring asf, played too much

If people dislike a certain product, they can just leave it be and speak simply with their wallets but instead they hate-Watch it and complain

Even Assassin's Creed's historical content is greatly exaggerated. Its fine

Ubi has been taken creative liberty since the very first game. If people wanna play something more historically accurate with less mystical stuff they can play ghost of tsushima

He would he side npc as his actual position then this

1. Hyped Yasuke is the samurai option. His story honestly is fascinating. 2. Instead of English civil war, 1980s - modern day United States. It’s been far past time.

Yasuke was given stripen, does this make him a samurai, yes/no, because you are dealing with Oda who used more of a commoner enlistment system, there are other non noble character that were given the same "stripen" effect as Yasuke. There is no archeological or historical evidence Yasuke fought in battle nor receive martial art training, there is plenty of romanticized story of Yasuke the famous black character, but as such following goes, are not accurate portrayed in many cases, similar story that is famous is China Romance of the three kingdom. You can think of him as a parade ornament for Oda, a rare black person in Japan that you rarely get to see, (noted that there were other Africans amongst Yasuke, however they would mostly be close to Portuguese influenced territories, which would probably been the location Yasuke would have left to.

They’re showing gameplay at Ubisoft Forward in less than a month Einstein know

Exactly you don't know a damn thing about it yet. Why cast judgement this early?

I just don’t preorder as a rule. It’s never worth it

Wow, it's almost like it's a REVEAL trailer. Name the last time you saw a reveal trailer that showed gameplay.

So you're a child who is new to gaming got it. You don't know Ubi releases a Cgi trailer, teaser next, then gameplay, then TV spots then launch. You couldn't read CGI reveal leading up to the trailer? 😂😂😂 My god y'all are that stupid? It's pathetic

💯 And it's probably way better since it's not made by Ubisoft

No way man, ghost is so much better in every sense. And im not an AC hater.

so, we don't need this game then. Understandable

@@asmara9779 correct ^^

Ghost of Tsushima was an Assassin's Creed rip off. A really good Assassin's Creed rip off.

They’ve done the prior with the twins in AC syndicate so maybe that. Having two separate storylines feels like something they’d make a sequel for tbh

I feel like in Odyssey they should have made it to where Cassandra had one story and Alexios had another. So kassandra being the cannon character would be what we already have. But playing as Alexios. You should have seen how he grew up to become demos. Instead if giving both characters the same exact story.

This generation is so fucked bro. It really is

Look up Kim belair. Then this new game will make sense.

Its stupid right? If we want to talk about inclusivity, why pushed aside the asian? Are we not worthy of full asian AC game like other non Asian nations? Well, i know we have the AC China but its not the big budget main series.

For no.1 i believe its for a safeguard from a backlash regarding the black character. They could fallback to historical fact that Yasuke in fact is in Japan at the time. No.2 wont fly this time...people will know that they force diversity in the game.

1. assasins creed has broke traditions may of times before so now complaining about tradition is a bit odd 2. the main characters have always been from the region? then why did we play as white men in the carribbean? or why did we play as a half white man in usa?

Why you mad they made him black? You sounding super racist bud

cause its a cheap virtue signal to appear "progressive" when it really isn't remember diversity isn't surface level, its deeper than looks or sexuality or identity, the ones praising it only care about surface traits its revisionism using Yasuke like this and only for the sake of clout

It's not really because of a black samurai. It's because of DEI. People are tired of it.

@@djinnxx7050 Jesus Christ… 🤦🏽‍♂️ tell me you’re a basement troll gamer without actually telling me. Does other people existing in your games really piss you off that bad? Develop your own all white game studio then 👍🏽

Same with cod. It’s just the same game

Such an interesting combat system wasted on that game

Women didn't fight in japanese wars...

@@MartiniBlankontherest Yet they have a Japanese woman in the game possibly serving as a kunoichi, alongside a black samurai .....

Yes this is the only game where you don't play a character that is native to the actual region and culture. To make it worse, originally it was supposed to be about Japanese characters but a "consultancy" came in and demanded it be "diversified"

Wahhhh why are there black people in my games??

@ironwolf56 it really isn’t. Have you played black flag?

It's going to be bigger than vanilla Valhalla but smaller than vanilla Odyssey.

Dual protags was already a thing in Syndicate and it's not nearly as interesting as it sounds; what you get in some variation you lose a lot in characterization

@@ironwolf56 why you’re just a bundle of joy arent you?

It’s no surprise. Ubisoft has been doing this for over a decade. All of a sudden people act surprised over the different editions you can buy. They have been doing it for years, and they will continue to do so because people buy them.

I don't think it'll be on Gamepass at launch

You're a grown ass man crying that a video game character is black

@@goby1764 your a grown man crying because you don't want Asian men to be treated as equal to black men. Bayek was the protagonist of a game in Africa, and he is black. Why not give Japanese men the same respect? Whats wrong with you.

Hmm OK. was Tom cruise and Keanu Reaves being samurais a fault of DEI or sweet baby as well?

@@Saint_Wolf_ Please lay off sniffing glue pal.

@@Saint_Wolf_ if you want grammar go to fuckin school.

Yasuke was cool in NIOH 2 and Tecmo made them the "Obsidian Samurai" in that game. People be getting salty about Yasuke and forget that Assassin's Creed does deal with Alternate History kind of scenarios with Science Fiction Alien like Objects and bits that go "What If" and fill in the blanks. People treating it like UBISOFT is trying to change history for some reason. I hope that this new AC game turns out great!

@@thebeaphomet9485 I'm not against the creative liberties AC made.

He’s not the assassin…. And assassins don’t run around w

@Janovea I hadn't realized that until they mentioned him being a straight up fighter in the video. I probably should have edited/changed my comment.

I think this is better than what they did in black flag. Atleast we have the option to play as a Japanese character in this

Unpopular opinion but it could be more fun, but Ghost probably will have better story It does have dismemberment so that’s already better (i know Ghost had dismemberment but it was only when you go in that like rage mode)

I’m in the same boat. My gripe has been that Ubisoft has been making the exact same games with a fresh coat of paint, trying to ape the Witcher 3’s success. My gripe is that I’m paying 70$ for a game, just to open the menu and they’re asking for more money. The fact that there’s a black MC has no bearing on me not wanting this game

It's really not though... Any more than what is said in the Jesuit's letter is nothing more than pure speculation and sadly Yasuke was most probably nothing more than a display piece for Nobunaga during his 15 months time as a retainer (same level as a page in an european royal court...). It was still a crazy achievement for a black person to reach though, and both him and Nobunaga reportedly enjoyed talking together even though it was most probably through a jesuit translator because of the political and religious concerns at the time. The biggest argument against him being an actual samurai is his survival after the Honnouji Castle battle that saw the defeat of Oda Nobunaga. As a Samurai in feudal Japan, your lord dying and your defeat in a war meant the death of your honor and most probably your death either via execution or via Seppuku. Now I don't care about any race of any characters, but revisionism, and especially when it's fueled by politics, is almost always wrong. History already happened and instead of trying to change it we really should be trying to stay true to it to make sure we don't repeat past mistakes instead of hiding these mistakes to serve an agenda, no matter which side of the political debate it might be serving. The character design does still look good though, and if the game is good and the people who buy it find value in it, then it's all fine, I'm not here to ruin anybody's fun.

@@thibaud1330 where were these paragraphs when Tom cruises the last samurai came out? Or nioh? Or shogun?

@@rd0676 I was like 5 when the last samurai came out, and to my knowledge the main character's historic counterpart actually got the title of Samurai. For Nioh, I did not really play the game half out of similar concerns and half because I am not really interested in souls-like games. And Shogun was never on my watch list as it has in fact the same problems with America trying to insert themselves in another country's culture although it appears to me that it was made in a somewhat more tasteful way. As I said, the problem I have is not with Yasuke as an actual character, I just Hate revisionism as it is in my opinion a cowardly way to treat parts of history you don't agree with. You grow way more by learning from mistakes and hiding/ modifying those to serve a modern agenda is detrimental to both global morality and the legitimacy of your cause.

@@thibaud1330 oh so the issue is revisionism. Okay. Let’s take out the parts about pope Alexander vi being a tenplar from the second game. The whole premise of the isu living on earth before humans did, don’t need that. The templars and assassins orders duking it out throughout history? That’s revision, get rid of it. If you don’t want history being changed, don’t play historical fiction. Pick up a book instead

It's not. It's the final RPG game there doing tho. It's being made by the same team that did Origins and Unity. And they said the Shonobi girl character will have the classic assassin feel from earlier games whilst the big guy will feel more like Eivor from Valhalla

Not going to happen lol

@@joebond545Ubisoft Quebec didn’t not Unity. They’ve made Syndicate, and Odyssey. Unity was made by Montreal.
