Assassin's Creed Shadows | Trailer Reaction | LiteWeight Gaming 

As a die hard AC fan a lot of us have been asking for this, for years!!!!!! I’m ready to make bad financial decisions for this game 😂😂

Best part is... this game will be set in 1579. Ezio met a Chinese assassin named Shao Jun at the end of his life. She went on to train many apprentices, one of whom would form the Japanese brotherhood of assassins around 1567. So... I'm hoping we may finally get to see her in a proper context, outside of AC Chronicles. She will most definitely be more of an old mentor figure. And given what I've read so far about gameplay... I am intrigued. As an AC fan, you can count me in on continuing my journey through all of the games and getting more of the story/lore.

The ubisoft director said we get to choose and switch on who we want to play and that each character are diffrent with naoe in stealh and yasuke as the warrior and that they are place were the samurai cant climb and you need naoe because she got the grapling hooh and wen there a lot of enemies in combact that you need yasuke brawl

No fucking way they put Yasuke as as a main character.... i wouldnt imagine how it feels to be japanese at this moment.

Game set in Arabia play an Arab. Game set in Italy, play an Italian. Game set in North American, play a Native American. Game Set in the Caribbean, play a Pirate. Game set in France, play as the French. Game set in England, play as English. Game set in Egypt, play an Egyptian. Game set in Norway and Britain, play as a Norse. Game set in Greece, play as a Greek. Game set in Japan, play as an African? Look I get the other protagonist is Japanese, but that is missing the point. Adewole was a great character for AC Freedom, and they could have done a DLC as Yasuke here, or just tell an African AC story in Africa. This is a missed opportunity for sure. Also on another note, Yasuke was not historically a Samurai. He was a retainer. He was never giving a fief which all Samurai had. There are not historical documents on Yasuke being a Samurai either. I think the idea played out by pop culture is cool, but just tone deaf, and very woke.

Ezios family theme 🥹♥️

Remember, never pre-order.

Here is a true question, How many characters in Assassin's Creed (AC 1 through AC Valhalla) were playable and if any of them were true historical people from the past? The ANSWER is very simple, "None." All the "playable" characters in AC 1 through AC Valhalla were all fictional characters, Yasuke was a real historical person who was nothing more than a retainer, not a samurai. Yasuke IS A REAL HISTORICAL BLACK MAN WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A RETAINER FOR Oda Nobunaga! "Real Historical Person," Yasuke was and is but a "Retainer." The other Assassin's Creed characters from Assassin's Creed 1 through Assassin's Creed Valhalla are "Fictional," characters that DO NOT EXIST IN ACTUAL HISTORY. Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (Fictional Character), Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Fictional Character), Captain Edward James Kenway (Fictional Character), Adéwalé (Fictional Character), Aveline de Grandpré (Fictional Character), Bayek of Siwa (Fictional Character), Alexios and Kassandra (Fictional Characters), Basim Ibn Ishaq (Fictional Character), and others that are not based in our past historical history. That is why I always stated to other people that 80% is Fact because of True History for Assassin's Creed Video Games, then there is the 20% Fiction that has "People", Places, Items, and other things that are in the game, are not in our past history. Yasuke "IS A TRUE HISTORICAL PERSON IN JAPAN," NOT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER, you can say, "fantasy," all you want but we all know that Yasuke is a real black man who was a retainer, not trained to use the katana, he cleaned Nobunaga's Katana's and other weapons that is what a retainer does. Sorry to say in true historical words and more true blunt historical words Yasuke was a retainer meaning he was a servant to Oda Nobunaga. Not my words but in actual dictionary definitions, Retainer is a person attached or owing service to a household especially a: SERVANT or b: EMPLOYEE. There’s discrepancies in Japanese history about Yasuke and we don’t know he was a retainer or a samurai that was trained. There is basically no actual documentation except for a few stories, but stories can change over time because of different perspectives, different things happening different mindset. Just like for example, that if you say something from a long time ago by word-of-mouth, then someone says it in a different word or words than that word-of-mouth or whatever you said can be different. And we cannot forget about WWII that many things could’ve been lost because of the war, and we may never know from certain items to certain documentations were burnt or been completely annihilated because of the two bombs, but we don’t know. I’m not saying that this can be a true story or not but all we know that he was nothing more than a retainer and that is it. I am sorry to say, but until there is actual more evidence like where is Yasuke Katana sword? Where is it? Does anyone know? Because if you have that sword and it has his name on it and approves that he was a samurai, but in the end, no sword, no proof that he was a samurai. Both Greed and WOKE is the message and agenda on both UBISOFT and Sweet Baby Inc. and Black Gamer Girls, and DEI Money. There is no story or the Hero's Journey in this game. Assassin's Creed is just now a "Shadow Shell," of itself and an empty husk. You know if only the Baka writer read Japanese History a lot closer than instead of 2 characters to play, there could be only 1 character to play. There was an opportunity they could have used instead of a fictional black samurai character and in real history he was a retainer not a samurai. If only they read Japanese history carefully and throughly they could have made the only one Japanese Female Assassin Character. Combined both true history and fiction, Japanese women at the time did learn to use a particular weapon called, "Naginata," a Polearm weapon with a curved blade at the top. While the katana sword tends to be associated with male samurai of Japan, a distinctive weapon called the naginata has been traditionally associated with women and female fighters known as onna-bugeisha. This could have been the base of a Japanese Assassin's Creed Story, with a Japanese Woman who learned to use the Naginata and eventually learns the way of the Assassin's Brotherhood. Do you know why they don’t want to make a game based in Africa, especially in Assassin’s Creed well because in actual history, many of the warring tribes enslaved their own kind. In about 90% or even 80% of the black population of today, don’t want to admit that their own kind in Africa, their own ancestors in Africa enslaved their own kind. This is why they don’t want to make any Assassin’s Creed games based in Africa. I know they already did Egypt, but I am talking other African countries or places in Africa other than Egypt like South Africa, Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and the other 48 African countries.

Dual protagonists you play /can play as both

Has everyone seen the number of dislikes under this trailer? black man kills Japanese in Japan. Some people clearly didn't like it. I'm not happy myself.

Is it too much to ask for an asian dude protagonist? This is the gonna be the 2nd AC story set in East Asia and there'll still not be an asian guy protagonist. When are we gonna get one? An AC game set in Central Africa?

Leave it to Liteweight to get you even more excited for a new AC!

It's going to be so cool to play as Yasuke. So little is known about him before and after about a fifteen month period, so his story is perfect for some good ol' Assassin's Creed historical fiction. I can't wait.

It took me about a year in a half to get through all of the main story assassins creed games. I thought they burned me out of story driven games because nothings gotten my attention. Mariage didn't even get me to excited... Probably because of who the protagonist was.... BUT THIS. Oh man I cannot wait. And this will be the only trailer I watch. I want to be surprised about anything and everything in the game lol. Also, I'm so glad we have the same reaction to hearing Ezio's family theme. Sooo many people are tired of hearing it so your reaction made me happy to know I'm not alone XD

Finally going to Japan, Hopefully it's good. The fact they added Yasuke the first black samurai in Japan under Nobunaga Oda, Truly impressed me.

I will most likely buy this because it’s feudal Japan, in order for Ubisoft to nail this 3 things need to happen, A Saitō clan reference, an Akechi clan reference and a boss fight at honnoji temple

Bypassing the trivial arguments, I'm more concerned that Ubisoft cranks them out like an assembly line now, and I believe quality and overall story has suffered for it. Maybe this one will be different, who knows.

When i heard Ezio family theme at the end i really got goosebump !!! Naoe will be my new favorite Female Assassins along side with Evie !! But i hope they do it like Valhalla or Odyssey when you can choose your favorite with the same story !! Not like syndicate when you have seperate missions with Evie or Jacob to do !

I am so hype for this game as this might be a theory of mine that this game is influenced by the FX series Shōgun and let us play as two different characters within the same group but different motivations within the characters. Like our Samurai character is based on a real life story that his story is very unique with a crazy story. While our Assassin Character is being a daughter of a real life person. Her story going to be very interesting to play or watch. So I hope the game goes well and the musical score be a great addition to this era of music.

From what they've said, Naoe and Yasuke will play very differently(he doesn't even have a hidden blade). She will be very assassin/stealth-focused with some combat elements, and he will be combat-focused with some stealth elements.

Next AC in Africa: You play a japanese man. LOL

This looks absolutely incredible!

When that ezio family theme play, its just hit different 😢

And I'm glad we can play two Protagonist now: Samurai (Yasuke) & Shinobi (Naoe) 🤍

It's definitely giving Syndicate but better because they will actually play significantly different. I actually love both styles so this might give me a reason to do two playthroughs to play the missions both ways!

Ubisoft is bold. They just casually said fuck Japanese men. That's crazy.

Naoe the female assassin seems based on a Sengoku Japanese Ninja I think her family name was Narita, a daughter of a minor Sengoku Daimyo based in Kanto, one of the most hotly contested area in Japan that eventually became Ieyasu Tokugawa's base and the current capital region of Japan. Yasuke's story usually ends at around the time Nobunaga Oda was assassinated and his fate is unknown but given that he is wearing armor with the family heraldry of the Oda clan seems like he will be still under the service of Nobunaga. During his assassination, Nobunaga only had two retainers with him in the temple he was resting in for the night that is, Yasuke and Mori, so I can't wait to see how this plays out and who is actually the main antagonist. Nobunaga was somewhat a tyrant who sowed chaos in his wake but his goals were also just to put an end to the warring in Japan.

Both Ninja and Samurai are playable.

Her whole mode change when she seen ya🤣🤣🤣🤴🏿

Beautiful

Terrible to be honest, no connection whatsoever with the actual assasin franchise... Plus gotta love the logic, an african being a samurai. Instead of going with actual japanese guy

Sorry Ezio, we fucked up everything.

Ign has a good write up of the new mechanics. Seasons will play a part and the changing weather gives different advantages More importantly this is 1580s so we are back to templars and assassins

Love ur reactio. Im also a huge fan.

Telling people to pre oder without showing any gameplay

Wait do we play as Afro Samurai or Hooded Mulan?

The writer of this game is more focused on her agendas thsn making a good game

Can't wait for u to play this teegan the vegan 🔥

This. Looks. AMAZING!

Absolutely stoked for this!! Been waiting for a ninja Assassins Creed game since the PS3 era; esp as Tenchu seems Inc unlikely to return

Ezio's Theme lives forever!!!!

AC is definitely gonna be a interesting change from Previous AC games but I'm really excited to see the gameplay for the game soon

I love your reaction to ezio theme at the end of the trailer. 😍😍😍

Play as both, switching back and forth as you please.

Dont be fooled by cinematic trailers litey!! Especially Ubisoft… It might look cool now but you know its never that good in game and they always launch with a hundred bugs!

I really wish that everyone would quit hating on the game I mean it hasn’t even come out yet and already they are judging it harshly, people thought badly of Valhalla and it was still a cool game to play and the same for Mirage and a lot of people loved them including myself so I just say give it a chance for gods sake, I personally have been dying for Assassin’s Creed in Japan

OKAY JUST IN CASE YOU GOT TO KNOW THE NAMES THE SAMURAIS NAME IS YASUKE DOES THE NAME OF THE SAMURAI/THE NAME OF THE FEMALE ASSASSIN IS NAOE THAT IS THE NAME OF THE FEMALE ASSASSIN

I can’t wait to play a new AC Game! Finally going to Japan, I am very excited! 🤗

Looking forward to seeing you playing it when it releases

Naoe will likely be my main. Cant wait to play this on November 12th since I will probably be going with the gold or ultimate edition

I have mich catching up to do on my Ass Creed run since i have yet to finish Rogue 😨

I’m very excited for this game I hope people aren’t going to compare it to Ghost of Tsushima

We're gonna play as both

New game, great. Ubisoft, Not so much lol..

This game look sick I’m hook.

Thank you for talking about the historical fact about the samurai because so far people on the internet are going crazy about the fact that oh there were no African samurais there were no Africans in Japan at all regardless of their is historical pictures and information out there about it but they're going on their feelings

Wow, of all the things to fill the void that Shogun left behind when it ended didn't think it would be Assassin's Creed. Incidently Lite, if the remake of Prince of Persia Sands of Time ever sees the light of day I hope you add to the list.

Going the RPG route was the biggest mistake Ubisoft ever did with the AC games, and it’s only after all the controversies surrounding Ubisoft that they now do a feudal Japan game after almost 2 decades!

Looking forward to this! Love when games come out on bday 🙊

Am getting the collection edition

I'm always ready to give a try to a new Assassin's Creed game and this looks very promising!

honestly i come back to your specific reaction for each one of your Assassin's creed trailer reactions just to see you jump with joy when the modified Ezio's family track drops 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 !!! love your ac gameplays as well !!! It's what true fans feel.

My favorite part of the trailer was her face then the trailer

Where is from preview picture?

CHILLS during that music at the end

Im so hyped for this two my most wanted games this year star wars outlaws and now this and that song gets me hyped everytime yep looked at info its going be like syndicate where u which between them pretty cool i liked eve more i think it be same for me here unless i decide do 2 play throughs but cant wait going be so good assassin's creed and resident evil and star wars are my favourites series of games :-) wil be getting ultimate edition

Waiting for ur reaction:))

This one is going to make numbers, a lot of people, including myself have been hoping for this setting for ages, but if I had to criticize one thing about it , it’s that it severely lacks emo hedgehogs in training shoes

Ubisoftpartner.. Opinion Rejected

Your pronunciation on Yasuke was really close sweetheart ❤

Hyyyyyyyyype! Can't wait for this one. I really hope it runs well on pc 🙏

Hopefully it's better than Mirage story wise.

I’ll probably wait for the inevitable Ghost of Tsushima 2 😂

Ubisoft in 2024? Nah I'll pass...

If you want to respect the black "samurai" then you need to steal this game from store.

I’m super excited for this game the trailer was amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

IT looks really good

This looks so good !!!! I can’t wait !!

I need to see more before I make a decision. I mean otherwise if im forced into choosing based on this. Nahh I'll pass. I havent even beaten Syndicate yet anyways (or a lot of other AC games I own lol)

Yasuke is from East Africa he had his name changed when he became a samurai. he was a bodyguard for a Portuguese missionary he was the tallest man in Japan at that time actually a foot taller and while training he would defeat 10 samurai worriers.

omg I wonder will there be ship combat

I really loved your reaction was super awesome.

Yusuke wasn't samurai. He was servant. 😅 but anyways

Interesting. I haven't been this hyped since *Black Flag* . The setting intrigues, and the chance of maybe playing both. I know *Odyssey* gave us a choice of one, but I can't recall if *Syndicate* allowed the portrayal of both at once or both based of story progression a la GTA 5.

Do you have a little doubt in the assassin's creed franchise?

Hey may i know the source of your thumbnail art? It looks awesome. Thank you

Awesome reaction Liteweight can't wait to watch you play this game 😊

Definitely looking forward to checking this out. Hope it has some great areas with interesting architecture and landscaping to wander around in which is what I liked so much about Origins and Odyssey. I really had a fun time living in both of those, just wandering around getting into whatever in between story missions. So I wouldn't really be considered a traditional AC player.

Yasuke was the first African Samurai. Lord Oda Nobunaga became in awe of his big stature and his beautiful dark skin.

First AC game since PS3 that Ill be leaving on the shelf.

Finally we have an LGBT main character.

Assassins Creed: Shad………..Ghost of Tsushima 2

Kind of sad when i can see 'partner' hashtag here and there. Makes me think Ubi is desperate and hopeless.

Assassin’s creed games I really wanna get into but I know there’s so many I don’t know which one to start with any ideas?❤️😎🤙

Get woke go broke.

right!!! I have always loved every game in the series. I tear up when I hear that AC song!!

As a bit of history the black samuri you play as is Historically accurate he was the first black samuri named Yasuke

Sorry but check the site it's overpriced at 130 dollars also not really why using yaskue bc he wasn't all that special he's just the first black samurai that's it and he is not an assassin the girl is I'd rather play her more bc she is assassin if there's RPG mechanics this will flop hard bc that shouldn't be in an assassin's creed game.

A mie gusto es lo único bueno de esta gen 🙄✌️👍

Looks cool, probably not something I'll play right away at least but will be fun to watch your playthrough for sure
