We are getting a recruiting system again. I am stoked since I loved it in Brotherhood and have been wanting it in the newer games.

I reckon this might be a PC purchase for me. Looks pretty.

Looks good. Ghost of Tsushima set the bar for what this game should look like. Looks like it's on the right track.
Also looks like they may have nicked the Kurosawa mode in that last scene. Don't know how I feel about that.

Looks good to me. As someone who likes playing the AC games with as much stealth as possible, it looks like it is going to be a blast. Heaps of people are saying it looks like Ghost of Tsushima but I have never played it so I don't know if that is the case or not.

The comparisons are always going to happen when they're both third person action games with a similar setting. If you ever get a chance to play GoT though then do it. It's an amazing game. Many of the moment to moment gameplay parts will be similar to the newer AC games and you'll find them familar, but the world crafting, combat, story and acting shits on AC and that's no disrespect to the better parts of AC.
Looks great day one purchase love the dual protagonist system
I enjoyed it in Syndicate but this looks to be an evolution of that

Ubisoft has just released a damage control tweet to Japanese Gamers after the Japanese government looked into the "historical inaccuracies":
TLDR: It's a video game, calm down.

I don't see why they bothered. If any Japanese fans have an issue then it is their own problem. When the game launches it literally says it is a work of fiction so getting angry about it is just moronic. Not once in any of the games have Ubisoft claimed any kind of historical accuracy.
Yeah bit a bummer they caved to the bigots by even releasing a statement. Better to just starve them of the attention they so desperately desire.

Besides some loud and obviously motivated voices, the early criticism from Japanese from what I saw was every game had a fictional protagonist from the nationality of the setting and they wanted to know why that changed this time. I've watched enough street talks with Takashi from Japan to get a vibe as to how Japanese feel about being judged by westerners and understand why they have bit back as hard as they have on this whether I agree or not. Nobody is going to win this argument. Ubisoft will obviously push on and we'll accept it while the criticism from Japanese is too deeply in their culture to do the same. The game releases, Ubi take a loss in one market, we all move on.
The defence that it's fiction is fair unless I've missed the magical golden spheres at the museum but Ubisoft do still employ historical consultants so they are picking and choosing the bits they want. I don't mind creative license though as long as it's made clear (and it clearly is). There is way more wrong with the movie Gladiator 2 already but I still can't wait to watch it lol (and see how they butchered the timeline of my boy Severus).

It's one Japanese pollie from a tiny minority party. Total nothingburger.

Ubislop bloated open world AC is awful. Easy skip.

I liked Odyssey a lot, Valhalla was meh.
Haven't played Mirage yet since it's setting basically looks like a more compacted version of Origins. I'll probably give it a go some day.

I'm struggling to motivate myself to play Mirage even when I see it on sale.

It's more like the older style AC games. More focused and stealth reliant. Odyssey to Mirage are more like an arpg experience.
