Assassin's Creed Shadows Pre-orders 'Strong' Despite Protagonist Controversy - Report - PlayStation LifeStyle

Assassin's Creed Shadows has run into a bizarre controversy surrounding its protagonist Yasuke, but pre-orders are looking strong.

Assassin's Creed is a very lucrative brand, regardless of all the criticisms and controversies - past and present.

The games play fast and loose with history, have a ton of Sci fi and crazy elements, but people lose their **** with a black samurai lmao

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah I saw a IGN post from their IGN giving their "take" and I thought it was weird.

Ooh I didnt know that
because tbh I've never played the Ezio era of AC titles before, my first AC title that I have ever played was AC 3...so pardon my lack of knowledge that the theme is actually predates Odyssey, haha

Hahaha no that's totally fair, it's a LOT of games! You should check out the original though, it's a beautiful track. I think there's a playlist on Spotify of every version of the song from most of the games and there are some really nice covers to enjoy. I recommend!

This game looks amazing. I love the setting, and the characters look like they will be a lot of fun to play. Also, Ubisoft is great at creating sexy protagonists. I can’t wait to bang my way through feudal Japan the way I did Ancient Greece, haha.

Also, the anti-woke mob needs to fall off a ****ing cliff. They just want to ruin everything. The only game that would make them happy would be a Wolfenstein remake where you get to play as the Nazis.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I feel like for years, I've been seeing the same crowd make jokes that Ghost of Tsushima did AC better than AC. And when they announced a Japan game, it was like "Lol Tsushima beat you to it!" But the second AC was like here's a game set in Japan with a massive point of difference - Playing as Japan's first black samurai - All of a sudden it's like "NO no no no, this isn't what we wanted" haha

Also the ludicrous double standard that for years we've been getting narratives about white foreigners learning to become samurais etc, NOW all of a sudden it's a problem?

I'm very excited for this game. Also the first dual protag game in a while where I think both characters have intrigued me equally?

I guess this means the Recruitment System is back, like in AC: Brotherhood?

Oh man, the Brotherhood system would have been so perfect for a full blown Ninja Focused AC game where you rebuild your clan and all.

 

[psylockolussus]

I wonder if they'll visit other countries for the DLC. This is already confirmed for two expansions.

I mean I hope so, but watch it just be like "Press RB to hire concubines to distract guards"

That's probably what it will be, honestly.

Gameplay for June 11's Ubisoft Forward.

If they do decide to take the story outside Japan for the DLC, the only countries that makes sense are the ones that been involved in a historical cultural exchange and diplomatic relations with Japan at that periode of time, Ming (China), Joseon (Korea), and also...Portugal (given how they were the first Europeans to come to Japan)

 

[psylockolussus]

I prefer if they just save those in their own main game.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they use Korea for the DLC. They are quite near to each other. While China will be featured in AC Jade.

It doesn't have the same wow factor as the visuals of Ghost of Tsushima, but I hope unlike Ghost of Tsushima, the open world would be rich in man-made locations. Lots of villages, houses, temples, farms with actual people doing farm things, etc. Like I don't want to explore the surroundings for ten minutes straight and just see trees, flowers and grasses.

LFG!

I almost forgot Ubisoft Forward today.

 

[blueharvest]

It just started, if anyone's interested.

It looks:

 

[psylockolussus]

The game just looks so wow.

This is why I love Assassin's Creed. Just witnessing these different time periods and able to explore them, in a sight-seeing way, is just amazing.

 

[Mani-Man]

The Game looks nice, the Yasuke gameplay is a bit clunky but feels in a good way heavy.
Did they literally had Hip Hop music in the background when playing with Yasuke? WTF Ubi?

The Naoe gameplay looks so incredible good, the parkour and all...again my opinion is the same...this should have been a Ninja focused Assassins Creed completely.
It feels like they put more work into the Ninja gameplay.

Still, it looks fun.
