Assassin's Creed Syndicate

[Shimec]

Next year's Assassin's Creed game will take place in London during the 19th century, Kotaku has learned. Farewell, Napoleon; hello, Jack the Ripper?2

This new entry in Ubisoft's annual open-world action series, slated for release in the fall of 2015, will take us through the dirty back alleys and rattling stagecoaches of London during the Victorian era, a historical period that fans have wanted to see in an Assassin's Creed game for quite some time now. This new Assassin's Creed game is called or code-named Victory—like Victorian!—and it will be out next year for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, according to a person familiar with the game.

Victory is something of a shift for the series in a few ways. For one, this is the first Assassin's Creed game helmed by Ubisoft's Quebec studio, as opposed to their primary Montreal office, which has led development on the biggest Assassin's Creed releases since the first game in 2007. Earlier this year, the Ubisoft Blog teased that Quebec would be heading up a future game in their annualized series, but they didn't say much more about it. This is that game.

Of course, just about every major Ubisoft game is developed by teams of hundreds that work across all of their studios across the world, from Canada to China. But it's significant to see an Assassin's Creed game led by a new team. Ubisoft Quebec also developed downloadable content for Assassin's Creed III (The Tyranny of King Washington) and Assassin's Creed IV (Freedom Cry).

We also hear that this will be the only main Assassin's Creed next fall—unless something changes, we won't see two separate entries like we did this year with Unity and Rogue, according to a person familiar with goings-on at the company. Next year, Assassin's Creed is sticking to current-gen platforms and seemingly leaving the Xbox 360 and PS3 behind

Today we can tell you about Victory, thanks to a seven-minute "target gameplay footage video seen by Kotaku that demonstrates what Ubisoft's dev team expects from the upcoming Assassin's Creed game". The video is surprisingly slick and could pass for an E3 presentation, and although it may not represent what the final game looks like, the beginning of the video proclaims that it was produced entirely in Anvil, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed engine. In other words, it wasn't pre-rendered.

To the eyes of Kotaku staffers who have played recent AC games—and likely to those of you seeing the shots in this article—Victory appears to be using the version of the Anvil engine seen in Unity, the best-looking incarnation we've seen so far.

The video begins with an assassin, presumably the game's protagonist, climbing up a tower and looking out at the city of London. We get a quick overview of the city as the camera flies from alley to alley, showing us some of the game's potential side activities (gambling in a pub, street-racing with carriages, and so forth). We then cut back to the assassin, who leaps down to the street, makes his way into a nearby horse carriage, and accepts an assignment from a mysterious masked woman. The task: kill a man named Roderick Bulmer, who has been trafficking little girls for the assassins' ancestral enemies. "The templars must receive our message," says the woman. "You must send it in blood."

Mid-conversation, the carriage is attacked, so the assassin makes his way out and takes out several enemies—who are bearing templar insignias—while keeping his balance atop the moving buggy. It's frantic. A few quick kills later, the assassin arrives at the Charing Cross railway station, where he swaps his hood for a top hat and runs through the crowd, ignoring side quests ("stop that thief!") as he hunts down Bulmer, who is standing among the crowd in the middle of a train plaza.

Our assassin hops and leaps to a platform overlooking the trains, takes out a guard, then uses what appears to be a new item—a grappling hook—to swing over to Bulmer and stab him in the chest.

Once Bulmer is dead, the assassin jumps onto a moving train and fights off more templar soldiers while crossing the River Thames. As the video draws to a close, our protagonist leaps from the train into a conveniently-placed haystack, then staggers forward as the camera pulls toward the London horizon.

[Miskonius]

Stvarno nisu normalni...

 

[Emix]

Odakle im ideje za nazive vise??
A da osposobe Unshity i dovedu je u igrivo stanje??

Zalosno.

 

[DeRadicci]

Osposobice ga do izlaska sledece AC igre, ne brini.

 

[rAMA]

Odakle im ideje za nazive vise??

Zalosno.

Obećali su investitorima godišnju iteraciju po ugledu na CoD, ako žele finansije moraju da štancuju. Što se tiče ideja, one su nepresušne, imaju kompletnu istoriju ljudske civilizacije za obradu... :d

A što se tiče dovoćenja u Unity-a u igrivo stanje, ovi ne mogu to da urade ni da žele, pošto nije isti razvojni tim u pitanju. Jedne godine Ubi Montreal, druge Ubi Quebec...

 

[Mrljesana]

London, bas mi se svidja. Jos ako budem mogao dao pokrenem na necemu...

 

[Grunt]

Jedan od perspektivno najboljih setting-a do sada, nadamo se da ce stici da ispoliraju igru do izlaska

 

[Dr.Mare]

Glavni protagonista ne menja odeću još od krstaških ratova. Stvarno mi se ne uklapa u ovaj period.

Ja krenuo da konačno odigram Black Flag, taman dok to završim ispeglaće Unity a kada i to odigram valjda će i ovaj Victory biti doveden u igrivo stanje jer stvarno sumnjam u njihovu sposobnost/zainteresovanost za optimizaciju.

 

[Geralt95]

Ljudi će se opet nahajpovati za istu igru u novom okruženju i sa više tipova sporednih misija i itema za skupljanje, i opet će kada igra izađe i bude jedva radila uveravati i sebe i druge da će zakrpe sve ispraviti a kada se to ne desi tvrdiće da će sledeća igra biti "prava stvar" i da je ova poslednja samo test za novi endžin.

 

[DeRadicci]

Pa vec 5 godina su iste igre, ne smeta to, naravno.
Samo da bude ispeglana pri izlasku, to bi bio uspeh - POBEDA.

Hoce, nadaj se.

 

[DeRadicci]

Hocu, a sigurno cu da kupim original kao ti i ostala druzina.

 

[Geralt95]

Volim kako se opet pretvaraju da je info "leakovan". "Kotaku je došao u posedstvo ekskluzivnih, strogo poverljivih informacija o sledećem Assassin's Creed-u!"
Taj marketing...:d

Ovo je tek win:

this will be the only main Assassin's Creed next fall—unless something changes

Par meseci kasnije "Kotaku je došao u posedstvo ekskluzivnih, strogo poverljivih informacija o sledećoj Assassin's Creed igri koju Ubisoft uz Assassin's Creed Victory planira da izbaci u prodaju tokom 2015-te. Za sada se čini da će to biti jedine dve AC igre čiji se izlazak planira za 2015-tu, ako se nešto ne promeni. U nastavku teksta prve informacije o igri, trejler i slike (napomena da se radi o tajnim informacijama do kojih su došli naši novinari i da iste nisu trebale da se pojave u javnosti)..."

 

[Dexter013]

Jos jedno neoptimizovano djubre u najavi...

 

[mefisto]

Mislio sam da je neki DLC u pitanju kad sam video naslov, kad ono hahahhhaha nisu ni ovu zavrsili do kraja a oni vec spremaju novi deo.

 

[DeRadicci]

To nije nista cudno, da drugi studio paralelno radi na drugoj igri. Cudno je sto je ovako rano "procurilo" u javnost. :d

 

[mikiPSY]

Cudno je da vi uopste jos obracate paznju na ovakve igre.

 

[Miskonius]

Nije strasno sto ga izbacuju svake godine, strasno je sto su izgubili koncept.
Otkako je Ubisoft oterao coveka koji je stvario AC serijal Patrice Désilets a posle njega najurise i Jade Raymond i imamo ovo sto imamo.
Nema ko vise da pravi dobre igre...
Sto je Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw lepo sumirao AC serijal:

We the player, are playing as some random player sitting at home playing video games!
That's immersion motherfuckers!

 

[borab]

Mogli bi da ubace `herojski podvig` i pozadibu, atentata, koji je doveo do I. svetsko rata i ulogi Iluminata u istom.
Obzirom da se ceo serijal vrti oko istih..

 

[Vlada>>>]

Ovo je nažalost tačno.

AC serijal realno gledano ima veliki potencijal, ali tačno od kad su te ljude otkačili cela stvar je kernula da stagnira. Onaj piratski deo je koliko toliko osvežio jednolično izvođenje, ali nije doneo ništa specijalno novo. Zadnji im je fatalan jer je praktično ne igriv.

Videćemo kako će im ovaj sledeći proći. U svakom slučaju ne očekujem previše. :trust:

 

[DeRadicci]

What Is Assassin's Creed: Golden Age?


Codename za Black Flag ili nesto novo?! :d

 

[Skot]

Unity i Rogue se prodao u 10 miliona primeraka sto ih smesta u nesto tipa top 20 najprodavanijih igara prosle godine. Nece ovi stati sa stancanjem dok god ljudi kupuju.

 

[bukkake_bob]

Stvarno nisu normalni...

bas tako. Gade mi se vise od CoD serijala sad...

 

[DeRadicci]

Ovo iznad je ipak bio codename za Black Flag, potvrdili iz Ubisofta.

 

[Vuk40]

Hoce li konacno izaci iz wilkinson i black powder ere?, da dobijem konacno neku
normalnu nitro express elephant gun da "pucnjava po prirodnim lepotama opet postane pravo uzivanje"

 

[DeRadicci]

Nikad se ne zna - tamo neki AC u Wild Wild West okruzenju...

Mada realno, Egipat i Japan bi bili pun pogodak.

 

[DeRadicci]

 

[Emix]

Combat brzi ali i dalje nekako cudan, nerealan, deluje vestacki. Animacije nista posebno.
Ona jurnjava sa kocijama sto su prikazali jako lose odradjeno.

Mislim da nakon ovoga moraju malo da ostave fransizu da "odmara" i konacno smisle nesto novo!

 

[djolenzi]

Ja sam bio ubedjen da ce samo CoD da se reciklira 1000x kad ono i AC je isti takav.
