Assassin's Creed Shadows - Trailer REACTION!! 

Connor kenway can extend his blade and use it as a knife in assassin's creed 3 as well and im glad they brought that back

Little correction : it isn't the first time we play an historical character, as Syndicate's DLC made us play Jack the Ripper, and Odyssey intro King Leonidas. It's the first time that an historical character is the main protagonist of a main title, though.

Your guy's reaction to the game was a breath of fresh air.Just looking at the game for what it is good job

「主人公が黒人か」より、縄文顔も弥生顔も理解出来ないまま大陸顔の主人公女性を「日本人」として扱っている事にがっかりした 西洋甲冑の肩鎧＋日本鎧の大袖が同居し、その上で星兜の全身鎧というデザインにも失望した 誰も気づかないのか？あの鎧と兜の構造では上段に武器を構えられない。首も動かせない。肩も動かせず構えも取れない。それが素人でも一目見てわかるのに、どうして侍がそれに気づけない？そんな防具をつけて戦場でもない街中を歩く？まったく素晴らしい、製作者達は歴史よりも自分の常識を修正するべきだ

And of course the RU-vid comments under this cool trailer have been very normal and not at all insane

Can we call agree that for a CGI trailer this one amazing.

Do some reactions to the AC trailers! They are epic.

Mirage was set in Iraq 🙂

Japanese shrines retain many influences from ancient Israelites and the regions around Mesopotamia. In particular, the sacrificial ritual of the Onbashira Festival at Suwa Taisha is very similar to the story of Isaac's sacrifice in the Bible. Many clans fled the volcanic eruption in Japan around 7,000 years ago, migrated to the region around Egypt, and returned to Japan after several generations.

So I'm guessing for the stealth and assassin part is for the Female Shinobi while the hack and slash gameplay of the recent AC games will be with Yasuke. Not the gonna lie. That's actually cool.

Here’s hoping the combat is as good as Ghost of Tsushima, a game which, ironically, can probably best be described as “Assassin’s Creed in Japan”.

I like how this year you’ve been doing a lot of blind reactions, suiting the channel name. Love your excitement for this one too. And 7:00 you definitely should do a video ;)

As a Japanese, I am horrified that Yasuke's historical facts are being spread as historical facts rather than fictional novels. Yasuke had nothing to do with the history of Japan.

Game cinematics reactions would be pretty awesome

If they are going to feature an assassin, they should use hidden clans like the Imbe clan, Kamo clan, or Hata clan rather than Yasuke. The theory that the Hata clan are ancient Israelites fits perfectly with Assassin's Creed and ties in with the story of Assassin's Creed 1! Given that Nobunaga is connected to the Imbe clan, it would make sense if they based the story on that.

日本人からしたら笑いネタなんだけど欧米人にはコレが日本なんだろうね😂

Can u guys do a reaction to every assassins creed cinematic trailer?!

It’s nice to go into a comment section and not seeing people complain about this game. It looks great and I will play it

no trailer link this time?

Guys the game linked under the video is Indiana Jones :^)

Mirage is set in Baghdad, guys. Iraq.

I loved watching Eric play AC Valhalla. It was the story and characters that kept me interested, so hopefully this has more of the same.

We may need a reaction to all the Assassin’s Creed cinematic trailers. The trailer for Revelations is one of the greatest of all time. They were even playing it before movies in theaters!

I really hope this comes out on Switch 2 or whatever it ends up being called

Mirage is really short, you could get through that in a few days at some point this year if you wanted to play it before Shadows

Some cool information. This game is set about 18-20 years before the events in Shōgun. The character that Yasuke serves is Oda Nobunaga, who was the real-life counterpart of Kuroda Nobuhisa, the warlord who Lady Mariko's father betrays/kills, and who is Lady Ochiba's father. Yasuke was actually present when Nobunaga was ambushed, and he fought alongside him in that battle before he was overcome and made to give up his sword. I wonder if we'll be able to meet these characters in the game? Mariko's father's real-life counterpart Akechi Mitsuhide. The Taikō Toyotomi Hideyoshi. And, of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the real-life counterpart of Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada's Yoshii Toranaga.

I swear I've been waiting for Japanese AC since the second game lol. Not the biggest fan of the franchise anymore (just general fatigue) but Odyssey was an awesome realization of ancient Greece and had fun combat. I'll play it just to see Ubisoft's take on feudal Japan

I was so happy that they used the original Assassin’s Creed song (Ezio’s Family) at the end of the trailer. It sounded so beautiful like usual

Guys… mirage is in iraq not afghanistan

you don't lose your finger since AC2 haha yeah that's the pivot blade like Connors

trailer looks awesome but the game is expensive for me

08:16 Not the same tbh. The era is different unless you talk about playing in a historicallly rural ancient Japan's feel then yes, pretty much. Most historical games would feel that way. Shadows literally set in a time where it's basically Japan's Romance of 3 Kingdoms, it's way more busy with life and death than the entire scenery/cutscene of Ghost, which, I think i understand why they named it "Ghost" of Tsushima, there's nothing there. It's just made-believe. Plus history.

I'm over ubisoft fetch quest games to be honest, hope people enjoy it

From what I see they probably start off as enemies and assuming the ninja or clan she belonged to were part of the assassins so how and why would she recruit someone who potentially slaughter her village

People and a lead writer who dont care about true gaming. Only they care about this time around is to push their agenda and to pandering to some groups of people.

Knight＝Cniht? Bushi＝Samurai?

Haven’t been this excited for a AC game in a long time, this whole setting i was waiting on for years! This probably will be one of my favorites 🤩

so hyped for this one!~

Not to break the enthusiasm of everybody, but Ubisoft? Pre-orders? Gold Editions? Not to mention how much more fantasy and less historical the last AC games have become? I would be cautious about it.

It's been 17 years since AC1 and we are finally getting an assassins creed game set in feudal Japan. I am excited but worried at the same time. I just hope the game mechanics are well done. The combat, parkour, variety of weapons, etc. Also the story telling in the previous games has been a bit lackluster for me, not necessarily the content of the story but the way the it's told through the characters, the delivery and certain acting kinda throws me off. But nonetheless, I am very excited.

It's been a while since I commented on a Blind Wave video, but I wanted to let y'all know, I feel like I needed this reaction video. I've been so excited for this game, maybe not excited enough to pre-order because I can't afford it, but still excited for the game in general, but I've been around so many toxic gaming groups online that I felt it was wrong to be excited for it. So thank you, guys. I'm glad I'm not alone. Hope y'all have a good rest of your day

Please consider streaming more Assassins Creed!

From a Japanese perspective, there is a strong sense of discomfort between a black samurai and a continental Asian woman's face.

behold yasuke the black samurai of feudal japan. People can complain about a black samurai in feudal japan, but for some reason they do not complain when a white woman or man in feudal japan as the setting. For example, blue eyed samurai.

You know its a been a WHILE since yall have played an AC game if you mention how they just now figured out how to avoid cutting off the finger 😂😂😂

You guys should react to all the assassins creed trailers and rank them

Yasuke served Nobunaga the First unifier of Japan for like 3 years before his assassination. He was said to have been present during Nobunaga's death when he was betrayed by one of his main lieutenants Mitsuhide Akechi. His story afterwards as many of Nobunaga's close attendants is shrouded in mystery. When Nobunaga was burnt in the temple he had only Yasuke and a teenage son of one of his oldest vassals Ranmaru Mori. Ranmaru was confirmed to have died in the ensuing fight but Yasuke seems to disappear into legend after the Honnoji Incident(Assassination of Oda Nobunaga). I guess Yasuke's mysterious ending made him eligible for a role in Assassins Creed especially if he will be on a crusade against the traitors within the Oda Clan and the conservatives who are against unification.

This trailer got me very interested and it's definitely going on the list of games I will eventually play! The main theme gave me chills!

Im super excited for this and i know it is controversial but i like Yusuke and i definitely wanted more of him in things. Also please react to all the trailers for assassin's creed there all done well.

The letter from Luís Fróis, a Jesuit missionary, written in 1581, mentions Yasuke as an individual of African origin who served as a samurai under Oda Nobunaga. Although this letter is an important historical source corroborating Yasuke's presence in Japan and his role as a samurai, it is not the only evidence available. Other Japanese historical records from the time also mention Yasuke as an African warrior who achieved the rank of samurai.

Someone tell Eric to livestream AC mirage, it's short you'll be done fast

I love this franchise and I am excited to play this game

fun fact the female kunochi is a fictional character

So im just guessing but the girl gives us stealth elements and the guy give us RPG elements

I’ve played literally every single AC game so I can’t wait for this one! Wonder if we’ll get to play as any more historical figures in this game because playing as Leonidas in AC Odyssey for that little bit was awesome!

I can't help but wish the UBI staff hadn't called this game a historical fact. In reality, Yasuke only stayed in Japan for one year and did not fight. After the Honnoji Incident, I was told that I felt sorry for Mitsuhide Akechi and should let him return home, so I returned to my hometown of Mozambique. As if to prove that, a Japanese television station has found a descendant of Yasufe who can only be Yasuke. It is not listed because there is no one to study it academically, but Yasuke's real name is Yasufe, and there are descendants who can speak Japanese in the area, so it is highly likely. UBI, why did you say in a media interview that this is a historical fact? can not understand.

FINALLY! The first new AC game I'll play.

This game looks so DOPE.

I can't wait for this game i love the Japanese culture and to uave a assassin's creed game in that setting has me excited i also just brought mirage so im looking forward to playing that for the first time

It looks alright.

Brownie point

I am so glad that we finally getting a AC that takes place in JP. I wanted it for so long. Can't wait to see gameplay too. And it will come out in my birth month. So its even better.

Assasins goes around the world but not Iran with is the birthplace of assasins

Im hyped because this is a REAL installment. Not a DLC- turned game. This is gonna be a big leap from Valhalla. HOPEFULLY!

I actually might buy this one

Hahaha this game is making fool of everyone’s common sense

So many people were crying about Yasuke being a character, of course. Listen, whatever is true about the real life figure doesn't matter. It's an Assassin's Creed game. They've never been historically accurate. It's like saying God of War is true to greek/norse mythology

yasukeeee

They capitalizing on the hit that was Shogun. Smart play by Ubisoft.

I guess the next God of War will be in Japan since they followed suit with AC Valhalla 🤔🤔

The fight between "woke" and anti-woke is really taxing. Let us reserve our judgement and count the chickens after the eggs hatch.

these guys are paid from ubisoft!

A lot of things that were completely uncontroversial before, like a black character existing in a game set in a different country. A few years ago, it suddenly became a problem when it turned out you can farm money and engagement from crying about completely normal things. Yasuke appeared in other games too, and no one cried about it.

Mirage is in Iraq, silly americans

I love leaning into the Oni idea with Yasuke's equipment, taking advantage of his huge stature.

Genuniely so excited to play this game!! :D

Yasuke finally getting some mainstream love

Part of the appeal of Assassin’s Creed for me has always been seeing how they take a character you wouldn't typically imagine as an assassin and make them one. This is why I’m glad they stayed away from a Japanese-style game for so long. However, I do think the time is right to finally introduce one. I'm excited for this one.

I'm soooo freaking excited for this game! Fuck the haters that complain about everything!

Yasuke was never a samurai he was a retainer there's no historical record of him being a samurai

So there's a black samurai, I honestly don't see the problem. Are you people seriously expecting there to be historical accuracy in a video game?

So now when gamer play male protagonist they will play an African character killing a Japanese NPC in Japan. Good job UBI

remember when marvel said that we prefer quality over quantity after giving us a few nightmares well ubisoft prefer quality and quantity both

this game is going to suck...can't wait till they do assassin creed in Zulu-land with a 6 foot 4 in WHITE guy?

Love when studios shoehorn in the black guy who was a literal nobody in actual history. Gotta keep pushing the agenda.

This looks good but Ubisoft's business practices and predatory pricing makes it a skip for me.

Thank you guys for googling the guy on screen rather than get all up in arms trying to claim he is a "woke" shoehorned in addition

the trailor is funny though, use the outsider to represent the Japan culture, hmm, well play SJW, ''All races are equal'' but not the asian, right ?

We finally get an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan, and they don't show us any gameplay and they make us play as a black guy who was never even a samurai 😂

He wasnt a samurai

The amount of brainwashed people worrying so much about the race and gender of the MC's rather then the fact that ubisoft is pushing the same 130$ for a game like they did with star wars outlaw is crazy. If you want an actual good samurai game, play Ghost of Tsushima and dont support a company like ubisoft that only cares about pandering to a certain audience and flooding their games with microtransactions and battlepasses. Cause i have no doubt in my mind that when this game drops, it'll be terrible like all the recent AC games. Vote with your wallet and dont buy games ubisoft makes!! Thats the only way these big companies will listen!

Asian wars? Wtf is that it was showing the Oda army killing the Iga Ninja clan

hey dont forget that it's written by a tattooed white woman with pronouns in their bios that's why the black is the protag it's their go to to feel good for themselves. their consultant? a japanese woman with NARRATIVE position who wrote book about fictional male to male fantasy in feudal japan with adolescent boys. yes this game would be great by this people who make them

Just more endless trash of games

They can see him... he's well over 6 feet tall, some say 6'7". While Japanese men, on average, are 5'7" as we speak. He stands out like a sore thumb. There's a whole slew of things wrong with the premise that they have for this game. And, if I'm being honest, they're 10 years too late to cash in the want for it. No matter how they sugar coat this clear attempt of pandering, it is built for a Western Liberal audience; unfortunately, they had to defecate on the Asian audience (Japanese culture specifically) to do so.

the idea of Japan AC is what we are waiting for,, until Ubi just destroyed that hope... WTF Ubi? you just disrespected a great culture.and misleading history... and hirintg mentally ill "woke" developers... The F?!!! this game will flop... sad to say... this may sell but not as expected... im not buying the game...

Is the fact that yasuke was never samurai and yet Ubisoft is doing it good for y’all or nah?

Yasuke was never a samurai. He was basically a slave/servant

Putting the "blind" in Blind Wave as usual. This game is racist. Oda kept him around because of the color of his skin. He was never a samurai and was viewed as a pet.
