That pilot's got inhumanly sharp eyes, being able to consistently track a guy in dark clothes climbing a winding dark metal tower; all while speeding through the air
I think it goes without saying that an Assassin's Creed set in World War II Europe would sell like hotcakes. You could even put more emphasis on stealth this time since obviously the weapons used aren't akin to muskets and swords.
A lot of people say it wouldn't work, "Too many guns", to that I say, if Ubisoft could somewhat emulate Uncharted's movement and climbing, ledge shooting.etc then bump up the risk if you go in a guns blazing approach like Hitman and you would have yourself a pretty great World War AC game. Literally, just open world Uncharted with hooded dudes and balanced out gunplay would work great I think. A good excuse to bring back the more active AI who chase you down too.
With all the weapons, tanks, explosions, battles, etc involved, WW2 Assassins creed is probably going to he considered less of an assassin creed game than valhalla.
I'm so disappointed that Ubisoft doesn't want to make WW2 a setting for an assassin's creed game. Hell, even I, an amateur writer can come up with a great plot for this concept EDIT, 3 YEARS LATER: It's hard to believe this comment has been so divisive, folks still comment on it to this day. I wrote it at 18, now 21. The unimpactful mirage came and went a year ago, the controversial shadows looms over the horizon, and the game we've all long been discussing is nowhere near in sight. I think someone here said it best "Ubisoft/assassins creed is like that dude you knew back in high school, you're thankful for the memories, but when he's back from the dead trying to sell you something, you know to be on your guard." So I just wanna say thank you Ubisoft, for the memories, but I best be moving on with my life. Thank you all for stopping by :)
There's already a lot of WW2 lore in the ac games, so they don't even need to look far! (like Stalin and Hitler being templar agents, and Operation barbarossa being staged)
It is not Mafia or GTA game, it is a game that is based on history events before many years, imagine Assassin's creed where there are everywhere cars and you use sniper, rifle, it will be disgusting, it will not look like AC game but like Watch Dogs game
A new AC trilogy starting from WW1 and spanning for the whole century and concluding with the breakdown of USSR and fall of Berlin Wall would be just too damn good. And the missions can be modelled around actual assassinations to affect the world history. Starting with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
I love this idea, we had the ezio trilogy, we had the blackflag-aciii-roguue, trilogy, the unity-syndicate, the origins-odyssey-valhalla, now let's have ww1-ww2-cw trilogy!
Imagine the Serb who assassinated the Archduke turns out was an Assassin and that Franz Ferdinand is a Templar, either that or the said Serb was an Assassin turncoat and becomes a Templar in which the assassination is to kick off some Templar "grand plan" or whatever
@@alvinite9164 Possibilities are endless mate! An assassin manipulated by Templars to assassinate the archduke, kicking off templars new world order plans.
The helix rifts are a small part on why Unity is such a great game. Going back into different periods of Paris is awesome. The attention to detail in Unity is better than most games released in 2023 .
Unity is a very underrated entry in the AC franchise. Not the best of the bunch (Black Flag imo), but it certainly doesn't belong at the bottom of the list...which is where it always seems to end up.
If this were to be made into a full fledged game, stealth would be a big part of it as it set in the Era of Modern fire arms and not Melee weaponry. It would greatly emphasize the "Assassin" play style even more.
they need to make one in modern day mexico. There’s a real life cartel who calls themselves the Knights Templar, and they drive around dressed up like them. Would fit the story of AC well lol
I've always wanted Assassin's Creed set during WWII. So I decided to modify the mission in Unity to take place during the day, which looks much better than I expected. I was messing around with Arno's outfit aswell to look modernish.
Ngl, this one I would definetly buy it. It seems to me AC got stuck in the same formula just like Cod did. Thing is, is that cod I'm way more familiar so the last one I bought was MW19. Other than that I didn't bother to even look at it. So AC WW1/2 or even Vietnam is definetly possible.
No bro. AC unsatisfied fans will complain about this for nothing. They will always stuck on their ezio games. They will make it underrated and overhated for lame reasons. Just like they made Unity underrated and overhated Syndicate just for Rope Launcher!
@@Hexajenus You should be blaming Ubisoft for that, not the fans. Instead of making new IPs, they use AC's "brand recognition" and look at the franchise as a way to shoehorn whatever's popular and make whatever formulaic game they want. People who want true AC games as well as those who want other things (pirate games for instance) are understandably dissatisfied. Now AC is just a generic historic open world franchise that appeals to as wide an audience as possible. Instead of having different franchises that focus on pleasing smaller fanbases, they make one BIG generic franchise that appeals to everyone and no one at the same time. This is why the original creator was fired by the way, he wanted gameplay that stayed true to the original and a story with a beginning and an end.
How is this possible? I thought Anvil's Forge files are literally encrypted to not allow modding ever be possible? I hope in the next decades or maybe years we can reach Bethesda level modding for AC games.
WWI Could work just as well; Most automated guns would still be on turrets, tanks wouldn't be invented until near the end of the war, and there's so many plot points that aren't overused like D-day or the Boston Tea Party. There could be an entire sequence based off of 1917's plot, all in one mission instead of one shot. There's a lot of potential here, as well as other modern-ish historical plots that people are missing. And don't forget that AC storylines often take place a few years before these events, so the main character could witness the Archduke's murder or something. A clever period for a good storyline, I say.
Like maybe, it was the Assassins or the Templar who are the actual mastermind of the Archduke's Assassination. Because the Archduke is on either side of the Assassins or the Templars.
I am so disappointed that you didn't say that at the end of the game you can assassinate Hitler (I hope I don't get banned for saying that name), in a very climactic and over the top fashion way, in the same way Aya kills Julius Caesar, I really think that if done right that could be extremely cool.
Trench coats with eagle head robes,all dark,grey,or brown possibly olive green and long trench coats with belts,straps of throwables,a few pistols,of course with hidden blades that could be combined with different melee weapons like Sickles,Officer Swords,Trench Shovels,Axe's,Kitanas,basically weapons used by the factions of ww1 and ww2 since both eras had manufacturers that existed in both timelines. Though who knows if this will ever happen,only 1 assassin's creed had a full story set in ww1,and I'm sure he was the 2nd most brutal assassin (Conor aka Ratonhaekonn) was the most brutal in combat (sorry I didn't spell it perfectly,I can pronounce it better in person,though my ancestors are natives,I didn't get to learn the different languages of my past and current family,just know spanish,english and portugués,very little chinese
@@Urboyyycarlosanother factor at play would be what factions were where and most predominant. There are supposedly groups of Assassins in every region, perhaps country, so there would be assassins in both the axis and allied countries. Perhaps we could get perspectives from some allied and axis countries and see their gear?
@goofyahhgooberprod concepts turned reality,that's how it works typically in development If this ever happens then it would bring up a lot different versions of the uniforms and tools but within the AC style
The fact that they toyed around with this idea but never went any further with it is a wasted opportunity. There is a ton they could do with this type of setting. They pretty much already proved it could work with this and the ww1 missions in syndicate.
I think these missions and the one with the Jacques de Molay's apprentice were testing the waters for Infinity Hell, one of Infinity's hubs is supposed to look like the screen where you choose that Jacques de Molay mission
The problem with WW2 setting for AC is the 'international politics' involved. The Animus Glitches' puzzles we solved in 'The Truth' in AC 2-4 Showed some pretty controversial stuff. So I bet Ubi got some serious 'cease and desist' letters over the years and Ubi 'toned down' or completely ignored their former modern-day Assassins VS Templars Lore and 'alternate/conspiracy history'. Examples to follow: Remember we met POTUS/General Washington and previous The Truth showed ol George got a POE. But in Madness DLC "it was all a dream" and Connor drops that POE into the ocean. The Truth showed ol Napoleon got his hand on a POE. But in Unity we meet a MUCH younger Napoleon than when he sat for the portrait used in The Truth puzzles. The Truth also showed Assassins killed Hitler not the Allies. Could you imagine the uproar a kill mission set in late WW2 where Ubi creates a stage/mission that DOES what The Truth said? The closer Ubi gets to 'the modern era' in the main game the more risk Ubi takes. Some WW2 participants are still alive today. Their kids and grandkids could EASILY sue Ubi if the game writers are not EXTREMELY careful! Also, how many WW2 games have already come out over the past 30+ years? That era has been DONE TO DEATH and inundated with games!
@@lesliekilgore648 Well, one, it's a video game, not reality, and even then, it's assassin's creed, so it's actually fictional alternate history. Everyone already knows that assassin's creed isn't trying to be historically accurate, it's quite literally, just _historical fiction_ and not much else. Many many WW2 games already exist, Ubisoft is not doing anything new or controversial by making a game about WW2. I highly doubt they got many "cease and desist" letters about the portrayal of an alternate reality. At the very least, that wouldn't be a good reason for not make an AC game set during ww1 or ww2. More of a cop-out or a convenient excuse than anything. Nothing some good writing couldn't solve.
there's a game named The Saboteur, pretty much an assassins creed in WWII without the Lore of AC...it's very good and proves the concept is possible...they will do it some day when they run off ideas
@@lesliekilgore648 WW2 games have been out for years even before AC started. I’m sure WW2 vets aren’t playing the games lol I’m sure their great greats understand especially if they know AC and it’s they make alternate versions of historical events . It’s not that deep lol
The potential here is insane, they could make it that you can visit a variety of cities and see how they evolve over the course of the war (before, during and after occupation, after bombing raids etc.)
Potential is there but it would require deep changes in gameplay mechanics. AC was always relaying on melee combat and during WW2 machine guns were common. It would be hard to balance things out without making it feel like third person shooter. On top of that cars could make all parkour stuff obsolete as you can just drive faster from point A to B. I think after all required changes it wouldn't have that AC feel. It would be a completely different kind of game. Fun fact game like this already exists. It's called Saboteur and have guns, cars, parkour, occupied Paris that you can slowly liberate etc. There is a reason why most people didn't even heard about that game. It isn't that great as it could seems on paper.
World war 2 is old enough to be a solid setting for assassins creed. Currently, since from when WW2 started, it’s arriving on its 85th birthday this September.
I think the absolute furthest you could take an AC game would be Vietnam where you could be a Vietmanese soldier or something jumping through trees and stuff but any further and you would just be silly.
every single player: we want assassins creen in wwII or in japan Ubisoft: no, here's assassins creed primal :D a prequel to the prequel of the prequel!!
Anyone who is interested in this concept should look up the game "The Saboteur" (2009) it's basically a stealth action game set in German occupied France with parkour elements similar to Assasin's Creed. Very underrated
Loved that game but the graphics were absolutely horrible even for its own time. I think they should have made it completely cartoon like the art in it if they couldn't make it look more natural
@@RHaenJarr To be fair, the developers, Pandemic, were bought and about to be shut down by EA. This was their final game, and so elements were rushed and not quite as good as they could have been in light of their impending demise. I still liked the concept of an Assassin's Creed-like game set in WW2, and hope we see a real AC set in one of the world wars.
Reminds me of The Saboteur. Anyone remember that game? There was actually an achievement / trophy for jumping off the Eiffel Tower and surviving. In fact, you had to climb it a couple times in the story. I think Ubisoft would be a good choice for a game like this, but it would be more like a crossbreed of Assassin's Creed and Far Cry, gameplay wise. Because you bet your baguette, I'm stealing a Panzer. Because why the hell WOULDN'T I steal a Panzer?
A WW2 setting would be an interesting concept. It would definitely have to be more stealth based and not an RPG. Returning to Unity's style. It would also give us a lot more tech the assassin's could use, mainly guns. In occupied France, it would definitely give me Saboteur vibes though
If they ever did make an AC game set during WW2, there'd be a few real life WW2 heroes who would be perfect as Assassins, one that I can think of off the top of my head would be Mad Jack Churchill, the Englishman who went into WW2 with a Scottish Claymore sword, a set of Scottish bagpipes and a longbow and arrows
Fans: We want an Assassins Creed set in WW2 or Feudal Japan. Ubisoft: Best I can do is let you play as Odin and fight dragons and Frost Giants. 🤦🏽♂️🤣😂
@@neonmatt24 I dont think the dlc is canon I finished the base game and I found out that these gods arent reac gods but an ancient civilization aiden see them like that because he's mind cant understand them the ancient civilization made a machine to come back as a normal baby then will try to control them and aiden was one of them there is a cutscene with all the gods in the game if you did some puzzles you'll see it the way it really was high tech and evrything
Maybe a story set from the perspective of the German Brotherhood during WW2 Like what were they doing during Hitlers reign? Leading the resistance? Keeping quiet with a few rouges joining with the Nazi’s? Maybe we play as an assassin who disobey’s orders and goes out on his own accord to sabotage the german war machine? So much they can do with a WW2 story…
What if Hitler was on his own and both templars and assassins put aside their differences to stop Hitler from using an artifact, they kill Hitler and walk away
I really love this idea for AC. I always wondered what the Assassins and Templars were up to during WW1 and 2 and even more modern. It's not like either side sat on the sidelines after weaponry became more advanced type of thing. And nothing says genetic memory has to be really old memories right? We know a little from the lore, in things like The Truth from AC2 giving clues about what the pieces of eden were being used for and by who, so I think it would be tremendously fun to fall down that rabbit hole.
Let’s be real these games are very political when you look at them unfortunately I just can’t see them wanting to tie the templars to the nazis because that’s what i could see them doing hitler was huge on looking for treasures imagine it’s a game where you’re fighting hitler and the Templar nazis on a race to find the apple of eden or something it would be wild just can’t see them doing it tho unfortunately
This would work for a setting. It would force everyone to go back to basics and emphasize stealth over combat (modern automatic and semiautomatic firearms). Assassination of officers was absolutely part of the war. Plus, You-know-who-tler's obsession with the occult is a perfect fit for the narrative surrounding Pieces of Eden. If memory serves, I think this might have actually been referenced in the puzzles in Assassin's Creed II.
Yes, Hitler was a Templar according to those puzzles. It is revealed in a letter from an unlocked puzzle which is written by Henry Ford expressing annoyance that he has to give up the Apple to “H”.
Right. The guy definitely dabbled in the study of paranormal like powers. The apple of Eden would fit just fine in the story line. I always thought how an AC game would be delivered if it was in a WW2 setting and it can absolutely work.
In actuality think WWI would be the most amazing setting for an AC game especially if you were going to try and bridge AC into more modern times going forward simply because of how much it changed modern warfare and also cuz of how fucking weird it actually was. Like at the beginning of the war you had legit dudes in plate armor and swords on horse back and by the end you had guys in makeshift tanks with machine guns and gas masks sifting through clouds of mustard gas. You could literally show technology evolve alongside the characters as the story progressed through time and it would be unreal
WWI would be incredible. Not to mention the stagnancy of much of the trench warfare would make for excellent, behind-enemy-lines assassination missions.
@@FASynergy Good luck getting back there. The plot of the game would be shit like every Assassins Creed game. Gameplay would be mediocre and unimpressive.
I can imagine a secret war going on adjacent to the actual war. And having to sneak in and out and around all the historical moments of world war II that would be incredible
Then you're not much of fan if climbing a really tall building is the best mission ever. The carnival mission from 2 was even better lol. Theres literally no story or plot to this mission just basic climbing and shooting down planes.
@@Professorlicme8 I pretty agree with you. But well, it was a optional thing coming from a rift/paradox from the animus and not really a mission whatever.
Dude this looks utterly unbelievable. E3 level presentation and it takes me back to being actually excited about video games. Thank you for your work man.
@@inspector5122 Yeah this is actually in base Unity. No mods. Nothing. There were a few rifts that took you to different time periods in that game. Unity was a buggy mess at launch, but grew into something very special.
AC Unity is still one of my favourite games in the series. The whole game was on another level and the sequences like this were so refreshing and different.
I don't want to be that "guy", but this is a list of armaments on a BF 109: 2 × 13 mm (.51 in) synchronized MG 131 with 300 rpg (rounds per gun) 1 × 20 mm (.78 in) MG 151/20 as centerline Motorkanone with 200 rpg or 1 x 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 Cannon as centerline Motorkanone with 65 rpg (G-6/U4 variant) 2 × 20 mm MG 151/20 underwing cannon pods with 135 rpg (optional kit) You would be worm food. The cannon alone would split you in half. There would be no ducking behind cover. Honestly it would be just as bad if not worse from just the spalling alone. I'm not saying you couldn't take down a BF 109 with an MG42 in it's heavy mount, I'm not saying it hasn't been done. But I wouldn't want to have to be the guy to try it. You're challenging a flying aircraft with 8x57mm. The BF 109s auto-cannon alone is firing a 15x96mm cartridge, and that doesn't include the twin mount MGs firing 13x64mmB. Say güten nacht.
The WWI mini arc in syndicate made me want more it was so awesome! They would definitely have a certified banger if they did a game in a world war setting
They could keep the swords in a war it would be somewhat like the ac 3 trailer when conner ran into a army of guns and destroyed them with his axe and there own guns
I don't care what anyone says, this game was amazing, definitely had the most fluid climbing mechanics and challenging melee combat. Plus the sequences like these only made it more enjoyable 😌👌
Honestly you are missing almost Nothing! The last three entries to the series ( Valhalla, Origins and Odyssey ) tried to turn assassin's Creed into an RPG & it kinda sucks like that.... Also back in unity the parkour & stealth was good ( basically the soul of all of the games ) The three most modern entries Fuck up the parkour so it doesn't even make sense anymore and it feels more like a superhero game than a parkour game & They made stealth optional They are Good games there just more like Shadow of Mordor games than assassin's Creed games It felt like an insult to associate them with the same brand
@@datboiiisparky7583 origin is pretty damn good one of best in the series’s and the last actual ac game we play as an assassin but I agree the other two
@@dbz4735 ironically origins is the only assassin's Creed game I never played! If you include the free games you get off game pass ( ps4 ) I own literally every AC game besides origins and Syndicate.
@@dogestranding5047 it's so much more than just that though! I thoroughly enjoyed the games better when parkour was realistic ( even though it was annoying sometimes ) Realism in a game is best The new entries just make it so you can climb straight up flat surface walls without looking for obvious hand holds like you have spider powers or some BS! They completely removed body looting animations that pissed me off And they also completely removed animal skinning animation & any real need for hunting & that also pissed me off That was one of the best things about the innovations of the Kenway trilogy Modern games said "Screw innovation" let's just make as many lesser quality games as possible & turn a greedy ass profit I would much rather wait an extra 4 or 5 years between every new AC game release announcement then get a brand new series entry every year QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Were Ubisoft to make this, and do so properly, I believe it would be an amazing game. Perhaps this could be the turning point with which the Assassin's began to fall behind; perhaps due to modern technology becoming widespread. I always wondered when and how the shift happened. During our time playing Desmond, the Assassins were at a major disadvantage.
I would play assassin's creed rogue. It will help answer that question a little bit more. If you haven't played it already the reason that they were so far behind. It's because shay Created an organization called the assassin hunters. After shays death In the templar order there training Was continued throughout the centuries. Eventually create modern day hunters they where then used in the 2000s and committed the great purge. A worldwide purge. It's amazing they had two great purges one in the seven years war. At another one in 2000s which really hit them hard. But I agree they could discuss how the technology helped increase the hunter's power. Add the technology that they used for hunters to use the assassins would be a great addition Now While rogue doesn't directly tell that shay created the order they explained in books which is kind of sad it would be better to do it in games. Shay patricks family Till desmond's time Still continues to run and train the assassin hunters.
i read somewhere that templar has always had the upper hand. We see in the games that assassin is often winning but it's actually one of the few times assassin managed to win. Hence why abstergo is really dominating the world. Well if we see the story, templar is using the piece of eden to control the world, whilst assassin always only hiding it so that no one can use it, it does makes sense.
Same to what pinseeker said, as well as perhaps the 60s-70s when camera surveillance, bulletproof vests, and radio communication started being regularly used, as well as semi-automatic firearms being very accessible. However, a modern-day or near-future setting could show a rise of Assassins due to hacking and breaking through security measures, and perhaps realization of more subtle tactics like disguises and snipers.
Unity's devs were incredibly ambitious for the hardware it had and the boardroom that was calling the final shots. That's what ultimately cost them I guess.
well force to be co-op focus game also make it looks cheaper than it should, nerfed other melee weapons while enemy's position themself to make it harder for you to stealth without depend on smoke bomb so you just don't get much fun out of other weapons unlike other AC.
@@brendonaldson8056 games been patched for years, still janky as hell but in the way most AC games are, that "a rushed game is bad forever" quote is bullshit in a world with constant updates to major titles
The co-op was really good, though. Ubisoft shouldn’t have kowtowed to the haters and extended it both in game and for all other releases. That co-op is still the main reason why it’s my all time favourite game.
I have been dying for a more modern Assassins Creed. First off, I love every game in this series, but a WWI or a WWII would be absolutely amazing and I would buy it so fast!
It was ahead of it's time and that was the biggest problem of this game. It should have been released couple of years later. I think it's date of release was rushed and due to this Unity was filled with tons of bugs, glitches etc. and it had serious stability and optimization problems. It was just unplayable on Xbox One and PS4 back in the day and it's still a mess in terms of framerate. I've played it couple days ago on my PS4 for the first time and after hours of playing repetetive Oddysey I really loved Unity. But it was too hard for me to play it because of the low framerate. Even on the PS5 it still has noticable framedrops. Only on the Xbox Series it runs well. So I wish Ubisoft could remaster Unity for the current consoles. Or I hope at least I'll buy new GPU to play it with a proper framerate because Assassin's Creed Unity really seems fresh in comparison to the new AC's. And I know it could sound funny especially if You remember how AC fans were tired of this type of gameplay. I think situation is now reversed. People are tired of huge maps and almost no assassin's content and they would like to play a game like AC2 or even something like Unity.
I only began to play unity long after it had been released, all the bugs were fixed and I felt like it was such a strong return to form of the original game we fell in love with all those years ago, but with all the best upgrades they’ve worked on in each individual game since. loved all the different outfit combinations, how “real time” everything felt, while still including an amalgam of all the fun stuff side stuff that gave all the predecessor games strong footing. These little doses of different time periods only helped. Well done on all the tweaking sir 👏
I'm waiting to 100% Valhalla before I play Unity, for the first time I should add.. I'm pretty close to competing Valhalla, I honestly can't wait to dive into Untiy I've heard good things since the remastered version came out
I think an Assassin's Creed game set in Ancient India, Ancient Japan, Ancient China, Russian Revolution, WW1 and WW2 would be really interesting and fun
@@marti5420 bro I'm playing Valhalla rn. The fucking loading like in playing morrowind on my shitty laptop with windows 8. That bugs me, and then there's the whole "pay a bunch of money for the rest of the game"
If they did their job well enough you never know… anyway as easy as it would be to say the SS and Templars are on the same side I’d say they play both sides with Templars in most of the ally and axis leadership but then AH basically takes over in Germany and you have Templars in Government with Assassins making up parts of the resistance movements. Especially in urban settings this would be awesome.
This would be so awesome. Perfect aesthetic for the protagonist. Shotguns or whatever firearm you would want with you when shit really hits the fan, but melee and true stealth taking the main focus. Just no intense gun customization, gotta keep them in the background as a secondary option.
Yeah, dont want assassins creed to turn into metal gear solid. While the weapons customization in V was peak, it kinda made you feel like a god in the way that you can equip a grenade launcher on a sniper rifle and just go ham wrecking ruskies while ignoring stealth
Gun customization would make it that much better, though. Gun play shouldn't be the focus, but it should still be amazing and you KNOW they'd have top-tier gunsmiths in the guild.
@@whatzittooyah3244 mgsv gave you an insane shitload of health and infinite resources to call. Thats why stealth was so optional, not because of customization. Intelligent enemies that hunted you, lack of free bullettime when seen, half the hp and the injury system actually being fleshed out wouldve kept stealth in priority.
This is dope, and I would love to play this. I even came up with a name for it: AC Occupation, it kind of fits with the naming themes of the series and matches with the WWII setting
This is such a fascinating sequence: Turning a passé element of the assassins creed formula into an epic chase sequence A boss battle with a fkn fighter jet on a huge ass tower The fact that stealth would be emphasized by necessity because of the weaponry available during WW2 I honestly can’t believe Ubi didn’t think of this already. Good stuff
After syndicate everyone was tired of modernized assassins creed Thats why they went back in time in origins and never looked jn the future A shame really, the Russian assassin in the comics would of being amazing in game

@@irgendeinname9256 it's not just about running around with hidden blades, it's also about blending with the environment, spying, eavesdropping, idk, what else a professional assassin does. Hidden blades are just an addition. It would be freaking sick to undergo an alternative reality of the second world war as a skilled spy that's committed to his brotherhood. I'm going bananas just thinking about how good of a game that would be, if executed properly
Amazing concept but I feel like this would just be another game where purists say "This isn't a true Assassin's Creed game" because your main weapon is a rifle or some shit. Like, you'll have to infiltrate and sneak past guards at some point, and at some point you're gonna get spotted. In a WW2 game, that doesn't turn into a fighting sequence, it turns into a gunplay/3rd person shooter sequence. That's going to turn a lot of people away
So.. let them leave. At some point you'll get people leaving because the games are becoming too repetitive and boring anyway. I mean, they already experimented some new mechanics and shit since Origins... And many purists/people left because of that. Might as well as well try this concept at this point.
The mission is from the game. There's are some anomoly side missions that let you play through small little sections in Paris's history. From WW2 to the middle ages. They just modded it so it's daytime, which honestly kinda ruins the atmosphere imo
God I wish we had an AC game like this... No HUD everywhere, no RPG, no level bars etc. Just an assassin, awesome parkour, stealth and realistic fighting, and an environment perfect to do parkour.
You could really make a trilogy outta this. Obviously the first game is set in 1934 to 1946 with an epilogue that brings ya to the Korean War. Second installment Begins in the final year of the Korean War and we get a brief hiatus to show what's changed in the brotherhood such as the recruiting mechanic from AC brotherhood, before we pick up the action again at the Bay of Pigs, leading into the Vietnam War. Third Installment we see The Persian Gulf War with the protagonist old, Grey and battlehardened with the initiates you brought up from the previous installment. It ends on a note of betrayal as The Assassin Purge of 2,000 plays out at the end . The epilogue menu would be similar to the Revelations portal menu and once you complete everything with 100% synchronization and I mean EVERYTHING, it'll bring the assassin from THIS trilogy into the mind of his grandson which in term would kick off the grandsons adventure with his grandfather's guidance
why have it follow the americans around though? the assassins are a worldwide organization, i think they have better interests than helping out on either side of the battle against the obviously losing communists that hold barely any alignment with the guilds values, they have better things to pay attention to around that time in europe, africa, the middle east potentially, etc. around that time anyway..
And it will turn into something like: american brotherhood: " yeah we heard this country had oil, its rule by templar and we must fight for freedom, lets assasinate their leader and protect our oil" lol
I've always wanted an AC game set in the 20th century. WWII would be cool, albeit difficult to pull of with modern full automatic firearms. I think early 20th century around the time of the first world war would probably work the best since melee was still common in some parts of the world and the guns would be so hard to work around.
This seems to be pulled directly from AC Unity. One of the missions was this gameplay we just watched. It's also one the Rift locations in the game. This is not a concept.
I think something really fun would be The Great War, the setting would be easier to dive into albeit more towards the early movement side of the war but on the cusp of military advancement it would be a cool mix. Obviously visually WW2 and its locations would have it beat but still there are some great content to be made from it.
Have moments where you hear of Trenches suddenly waking up to find all their ammo gone, the medal on some officer had been yoinked, etc whilst certain Canadian Trenches got a sudden uptick in ammo and supplies despite being otherwise cut off. Have one take place at the Cliffs of Gallipoli as a rather disasterous operation is going down which you can use to solidify how fucking horrific the war is, mentions of the fighting going on at Verdun, (One of the bloodiest (and the longest) battles in WW1, 303 days of fighting) the horrors of Paschendele (the most fucking POINTLESS fight in WW1 as nothing of value was won and it was lost a week after it was taken, killing half a million men...)
A friend and I were recently having a discussion. We came to the conclusion that if you can conveniently find piles or wagon loads of hay, then it will 100% work as a setting for Assassin's Creed. World War II Europe absolutely fits the build.
A full game like that, I'd be pumped, doesn't even have to actually be AC, I've always wanted to experience a good WW2 openworld about being part of the resistance. With the amount of WW2 games, there's a severe lack of games where you play as resistants.
Go look up "The Saboteur". That game is exactly what you just described to a T. Disguise yourself as high ranking Reich officers? Races? Defending posts in occupied Paris? Sniping missions? Rigging rail bridges to blow? Meeting up with different cells to unlock safehouses? Infiltrate and destroy Nazi labs and bases? Climb to the top of the Eifel Tower and get an achievement for jumping off and surviving? The Saboteur has all of that!
@@Green18765 Yeah, it'd be so cool to step in the boots of a wehrmacht soldier who at first would be very patriotic and loyal to his fatherland and goverment but he'd later have to face the harsh reality that they will lose the war. It's a shame that such a game hasn't yet been made, it would bring a whole new perspective to the WW2 genre..
@@mattfromwiisports7970 Technically. Not fully. Hitler and Stalin were both influenced by the Templar order without them knowing. They were not members of the Templar order, but the Templars manipulated them both into commiting genocides against their own people and starting a war, while Churchill was locked from singning peace with Hitler. The Templar Henry Ford (who was in contact with Hitler throughout his life) mentions something like "We will let H. and S. have their fun. And then we step in." This practically implies that the west organised that WW2 will happen and that the whole modern that NATO is most likely a military alliance belonging to the Templars.
WW2 Assassin's Creed would be the best of all of them. So much happened during that time. Gameplay could be RPG style like Valhalla had...but with guns too. Stealth can definitely be implemented as long as kids don't go guns blazing like it's Call of Duty. They would have to make stealth a priority so people wouldn't just sit there shooting Mp40s and Kar98s all over. Definitely more focus on knifes, Machetes, Clubs, Hammers, n etc...It's WW2...it was brutal. Definitely alot of gore since Valhalla started chopping heads off. Storyline Would have to mix the AC lore along with WW2 events that happened. Hitler being the highest ranking Templar would be the main Villian along with his other followers who would be bosses the player would have to assassinate to stop Hitler and his Templar order. Game would blow up as long as Ubisoft doesn't downgrade it and make look and feel bland.
Hitler would not be a Templar, too evil by Templar standards. Hitler killed out of hate while Templars usually have some plan in place "for the greater good"
If I remember correctly, AC2 allready stated that Hitler was just a Templars puppet like every else nation leader on the both sides of the conflict. From lore standpoint the whole WW2 was just a one big hoax to successfully bring New World Order while establishing first iteration of Abstergo. So if there would be a main villain, it should be Henry Ford - from the lore it was him who helped Hitler to came into power by giving Apple of Eden and it was Ford who contributed in creation of Abstegro.
In the AC canon, Hitler and the other world leaders (yes, even the ones he was "fighting" against) were all Templars and staged the events to further gain power. Hitler was assassinated by a Jewish Assassin while trying to flee after faking his suicide.
Thatd definitely be possible because the idea of hitler “ killing himself “ is just kinda suspect so maybe the game could show the assassins making his death look like a suicide or it could show hitler getting away, maybe you could also go to Antarctica as part of operation highjump 😂 Antarctica could be a precursor site also!!
It's easier than ever man, you can reach the best vantage points with their parkour skills and fearlessness and locate/follow the target seamlessly with eagle vision. Fits them to a tea.
@@prod.sr7186 why? honestly it could play very similar to AC 3 with the mechanics and the environments are the same as the older ac's with lets say if it was in paris
@@prod.sr7186 it is for assassins cause theyre good at sneaking and stuff cant shoot what you cant see also theyll probly kill you before you even see them so you know they wouldnt do much good if youre already dead
I’ve been wanting to see AC Wild West, a protagonist sorta like Edward but only in the equipment they use. Edward has 4 flintlock pistols, and I think it would be bad ass having four six shooters on you
Well, Edward had four pistols bc flintlock pistols of that age only fired one shot; cowboy pistols can fire multiple semiautomatic-actioned shots. I also want an ac wild west, I think Ubisoft hasn't tried bc it can be compared to RDR2
If possible, they could probably make an installment with 3 separate stories, one guy fighting in the eastern front, one fighting on the western front, and another fighting with the french resistance
I have thought about the idea of an Assassin's Creed game set during WW1 for many years now. I am still completely certain that it could work increadibly well if done correctly. something that might be a little issue in a more modern setting is the melee combat offcourse. Firstly, at least one modern day mission in Assassin's Creed 3 shows how that could work. As for WW1, melee combat did occur with bayonettes, Knuckle duster knives and spades etc. How common this was is however a difficult question to answer. I think melee mostly happened during night time raids on hostile trenches, but still. It would also be pretty cool to meet persons like Gavrilo, Franz Ferdinand, Lawrence of Arabia, Sherif Nasir, Nicholas II, Lenin, Woodrow Wilson, Charles De Gaulle etc. also being involved in events like: the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, The Battle of Ypres, The Battle of Verdun, The Battle of Somme, Gallipoli Campaign, The Battle of Aqaba etc.
Přesně v tu chvíli, kdy nad Arnem přeletí letadla a na obrazovce se objeví nápis "Occupied Paris 1944", se moje láska k této hře nadobro zpečetila. A v denním světle tato mise vypadá taky zajímavě, i když asi preferuji tu noční verzi.
This is neither a mod nor a concept. It's a level in AC Unity, made by Ubisoft, and the uploader has no idea what this is by putting "modded" in the description.
I think the mod is that the mission is set during the daytime when it normally happens at night. They removed the searchlights that you're supposed to avoid that would alert snipers
The nazis fascination with superweapons and the occult could make for a hell of a story. Imagine a timeline where the thier reich glt their hands on the apple or other artifacts.
As a WWII history buff I was absolutely thrilled and shocked to see this era represented in the game. I think I can speak for many others when I say that if an Assassins Creed game were released based around this era we'd play the HELL out of it!
question: which AC lore faction will side with the axis? obviously UBI would need to hammer the "good guys" into the allied role. but in ww2 there were no good guys. AT ALL. the english starved 3,5million indians at least to death. the russians did even more harm than the germans while the US financially profited from all that pain. not to mention civilian atom bombing, slave labor camps in the US for residents whose only "crime" were their german and japanese ethnicity, etc etc etc. also if i were describing the japanese and german actions in ww2 not negatively enough many countries would consider this aa capital crime to this date. think abaout that. no gaame should take this pool of baggage voluntarily and make an innocent action flick out of it because they could only fail. UBI knows this, i know it and everybody else does it.
Assassin’s creed ww2 is a great concept. I just imagine Hitler being the final boss where the assassination happened in his bunker. And the assassins made it seem like Hitler killed himself so that the assassin organization would remain hidden. I feel like the assassins should be a third party, not part of any sides. And MC is a German who disagrees with Hitlers way and the Nazis brutality. This way, we don’t antagonize Germans as all being evil during the war. The Assassins being a third party fits this narrative as the MC, although disagreeing with Hitlers brutality, doesn’t want to side with the west as they did ruin Germany’s economy and society after ww1. So he still have some hatred towards them, but he overcomes his hatred and goes to stop Hitler.
We could've desmond miles as a modern assassin but ubisoft killed him off because some fans hated them lol, now we got this woman who is not even blood related. Didn't even bother to modern story and just get straight to the story.
4:20 The fact that you can tell the whole map is just a square, if you look long enough, bothers me a lil, and just one huge black ring in the middle of the sky surrounding the whole map. Its times like that which kinda ruins the immersion a little. But nonetheless, this was a phenomenal sequence. Really cinematic and chaotic, if we just rule out those blatancies that I just pointed out.
@@grenadierhinterleitner9582 too be fair, its pixels in a piece on entertainment. I see this as being cool unlike cod where they have anime gun skins to have anime gun skins. But ofc my opinion is just a bad excuse. Plus btw, there were german airships. But its all fiction here so idc
Dude this is sick. Great job man. In my humble opinion, WW1 would be better. Way more believable too. WW1 is amazing because it’s caught in the middle of progress. It’s ancient warfare and modern. Still have men riding horses using sabers, but also now have chemical warfare and automatic machine guns, and planes and zeppelins and tanks and submarines and all of that. It’s the old world meeting the new world. As much as I love WW2, WW1 would give you more of the castles and old school ancient history vibe.
Love it. You could call it Assassin's Creed: Resistance. I think if things got to automatic weapons tho, they would need to fit in a good cover system and solid gun mechanics to really capture the full potential of the era.
AC WW2 game would be awesome. Could you imagine assassinating Himmler with a hidden blade? AC War of 1812 could have been a nice follow up to AC3. AC American Civil War would be cool as well.
nice work do you think you can make a mod for unity to put one color to only one pice of gear or even bewtter make a mod to change arno's face, beard and all that stuff ill pay you for that if you want ofcourse
An AC game set in WW1 or WW2 would be so badass. Just imagine sneaking along the trench tunnels and trekking through no man's land under the cover of night. Synchronizing on the Eiffel Tower, assassinating a top ranking German officer. All with the threat of being peppered to death by their full-auto submachines and riddled with lead by the trench guns of the western front. Then to contrast, there's the french countryside and Berlin. Sad that Ubisoft will never make a game like this.
I always thought that Teheran in 1943 would make a fantastic place to set an AC game in. Around the conference there'd be plenty opportunities for skullduggery and sneaky stabby spy-vs-spy sort of action while there'd be the potential to travel to other regions for more involvement. I somehow never considered Paris.
