Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows gameplay trailer has fans \u201cquietly optimistic\u201d UbisoftFollowing the Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows gameplay trailer shown at the Xbox Games Showcase, fans have revealed that they are \u201cquietly optimistic\u201d about the upcoming title. Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows is one of the most eagerly anticipated games in the franchise. Since the series launched, fans have wanted Ubisoft to tackle the feudal Japan era. After all, nothing screams master assassin like a stealthy shinobi. Now, after years of waiting, the developers have the perfect opportunity to make good on this highly requested setting. Despite complaints surrounding the game\u2019s pre-order pricing and historical figures, the response to Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows\u2019 gameplay has been positive. Ubisoft revealed its first gameplay trailer at this year\u2019s Xbox Games Showcase, giving players a sneak peek into both the environments and its two main characters. One of the biggest moments was the demonstration of Naoe\u2019s parkour sequence, which showed the shinobi effortlessly swinging between castle rooftops with her grappling hook, and performing deadly takedowns with her hidden blade. \u201cIt looks like they changed up the parkour. This honestly looks really great, more stealth mechanics and better combat,\u201d wrote one player. \u201cI had some hope for this game because the last AC I played was Odyssey and I really liked it. I\u2019m honestly pumped for this.\u201d Other commenters were also keen to point out just how big Yasuke is compared to other characters and enemies \u2013 an area that directly impacts combat. While Yasuke can use stealth, his bulky armor and overall size make it hard to infiltrate a camp. To make up for this, the legendary samurai excels at combat, using his strength and masterful katana strikes to cleave a path through his enemies. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of cool that the samurai main character is so much bigger than the other enemies,\u201d wrote one player. \u201cLike I\u2019m so used to the main character always being the same size as the enemies, and sometimes a little smaller. I\u2019m much more interested in playing as the samurai than the assassin.\u201d While the majority of the Assassin\u2019s Creed community praised the game for its removal of modern-day setting, which will now be told through Assassin\u2019s Creed: Infinity, some were saddened by this news. \u201cChoppy frame rate aside, this looks incredible, I want to be cautiously optimistic but I\u2019m hyping myself too much. Extremely sad to hear that the modern-day stuff isn\u2019t going to be a thing though, but sadly, it looks like I\u2019m alone in this feeling,\u201d replied one commenter. \u201cI\u2019m just finishing up on Vallhala and as little presence it had, the modern-day developments blew my f*cking mind, I really thought they were on their way to getting back on track for that.\u201d Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows certainly looks to be the most ambitious game in the series to date, featuring a large variety of weapons, historical figures, and a detailed map. So, hopefully, it can live up to the hype and deliver an experience that wows the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
