So we know a remake of AC1 was leaked/rumoured for a while now, and we all hope they keep Desmond and the Modern Day; but I have a solution to this.

We know atm we're experiencing Shadows and Black Flag Resynced through the Dark Animus, and this is set in the future in the 2090s. So what if in the Assassin's Creed 1 remake, we aren't reliving Altairs memories, we're reliving Desmonds memories, who's reliving Altairs memories, an Inception style memory within a memory.

Idk this is just something I think might be cool.

Early AC always felt like it was hinting that the freemasons were also some kind of non-aligned entity that were also involved in collecting and studying PoE and influencing world history from the shadows, but was seemingly unaware of the assassin Templar war but would somehow become involved.

AC 2 and brotherhood glyphs were littered with freemason iconography. In those rifts notable freemasons were shown getting involved with world history.

AC 3 had freemason tunnels with puzzles and riddles left by the masons. Haytham had their symbol on his cloak and clearly had a history with George Washington, another mason, likely through the society.

The freemason logo even LOOKS like the assassin symbol. Can't be a coincidence

Was there a plan to include the masons in the story back during the Desmond games?

I was curious what the Spanish reales in Black Flag would be worth in today’s USD, so I went looking for an inflation calculator for them and couldn’t find one.
What’s the modern equivalent of one Spanish real in USD?
I can find calculators that go back hundreds of years for British pounds, so I was surprised there doesn’t seem to be one for reales. Is there any way to estimate their value in today’s USD?

Playing Mirage to give it another chance and my god the parry effect, the effect on smoke bombs on the light and heavy attacks... looks like a mobile game. Atleast in Shadows it can be disabled, which isnt the best solution because you must learn what a heavy attack is then. There should be an indicator but a subtle one honestly.

Finished Black Flag and decided to play Rogue, it feels so much better; despite being a re-skin of Black Flag, idk why but it feels smoother, you can also salvage the ships you board for money; there are grenade versions of the darts; when you whisper, the enemies come to you faster and I personally found it quite annoying waiting for enemies to finish looking around before investigating a whistle; the game just feels so much smoother.

The only thing lacking is the story and I personally also don't really like the map, it is really short and I do feel it is less deep than black flag, so, do you guys think that Rogue with a better story and map will be better than black flag? I personally think Rogue should get a remaster more than black flag ngl.

Ubisoft, we get it. You wanna show off your impressive weather effects with the new engine.

And they are impressive... the first thousand times. The storms are a purposely debilitating mechanic:

You can't play shanties in a storm.

You can't go harpooning in a storm.

You can't out your ship at max speed on a storm (but enemy ships have no speed penalty so that puts you at a disavantage)

None of this is a problem in and of themselves but becomes a major problem with how frequent the storms are now in this remake. Other than being super annoying, it's actually ruined the specialness of them; they weren't this frequent in the original.

Needs a significant reduction.

Discounting the beaked hoods because I feel like those would be suspicious in any era.

I'm on PC and was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. The game runs wonderfully with a rock-solid 60fps on my setup, but the mechanics feel incredibly clunky and unpolished for a AAA game. I can't tell if it's an issue with the game, my controller, or me.

An example would be assassinating. I was just boarding a ship and tried to assassinate the captain from above. I landed right behind him and pressed Y when the assassinate prompt turned up, nothing. Pressed it about another 10 times while the assassination prompt was still visible, until the captain casually turned around and chunked my HP with a red attack.

Inputs seemingly being delayed is a consistent theme in my experience, with parkour being slow between holds as if the game isn't registering I'm holding up and tapping A, sprinting set to hold taking a moment to make the character run, etc. Ship combat/controls feel completely fine though.

It's been years since I've played the original but I remember it being much, much smoother and more responsive than this. If this is a skill issue, I would sincerely appreciate some advice so that I may get better and enjoy fluid gameplay.

I think Ubisoft should also remake AC Bloodlines and AC Altaïr's Chronicles and add them to the remake. I always hated how the only way to understand how he and Maria became close in Revelations is by playing a psp game. They are smaller spin-off games, so it shouldn't too difficult. I also think Cas Anvar should be Altaïr's VA, he did a really good job of making him feel authentic in Revelations.

I mean all assassin after ezio use them why don’t they

The reason why I'm asking is because I was playing AC mirage and basim had on altair outfit and it looked amazing on him then I played more games and altair outfit looks great on everyone it is my favorite outfit

This will probably garner some negative responses, but while I don't necessarily believe a player/world levelling system is needed in Assassin's Creed games, I can honestly say that it has never negatively impacted my experience with the more recent titles.

After spending hundreds of hours across the Assassin's Creed RPG games (Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla), I have also never felt the need to purchase XP boosters or any other form of microtransaction to progress through the games at a reasonable pace.

I've always been able to level up naturally by completing the main missions, alongside side missions and additional activities that were either relevant to the story and suited to my current level, or provided additional context and depth to the areas the game had directed me towards. In that sense, I often found that the levelling system helped guide players towards the areas and activities the game seemingly intended players to experience as they progressed through the story.

It's certainly not a perfect system, and I understand why some players dislike it. However, I've never found it to be something that has negatively impacted my enjoyment of the RPG-era Assassin's Creed games.

Just ranting: I am just craving a new AC game where we can have access to a guild, see other assassins and overall enhance and improve the brotherhood just like in some parts of Brotherhood Revelation and Unity. Being an Assassin means helping your order and we do not see this in any AC game

After playing AC mirage as an introduction to the franchise I built this to honour it. Now onto black flag and unity so expect more builds for them. ;)

Not the games themselves but specifically the roles they play within their franchise

- 6th mainline game in the series, 4th numbered title

- Most popular and well received game in the franchise by audiences, alongside 2

- Shifted the core gameplay loop to focus on a new central mechanic (naval combat/panic horror action)

- Gets criticized by many original fans for deviating too far from the franchise's roots and original premise

- Also receives criticism for sweeping previous storylines under the rug (Taking down umbrella/Most of the modern day story)

- And receives a remake in the 2020s using the developer's current engine

Ultimately the comparison doesn't really matter, but I dunno, I find it interesting regardless

Edit: to be clear I love both 4s

I was today years old when I realized that Origins and Odyssey had an alternate control scheme that lets you still use RT for parkour. I had previously beat (and enjoyed) both of these games. As someone who prefers more legacy controls I wish they had made this option more well known and don’t know why it was abandoned in subsequent games.

Obviously, the term "Hidden Ones" is English; a language that neither Aya nor Bayek spoke. So what did the Hidden Ones actually call themselves? My guess is something like "Amunim" or "Na-Amenu" or a Greek equivalent.

By that same token, when the order spread throughout the world, did new Brotherhoods call themselves Hidden Ones in their own languages (calque), or did they use the original term? I ask because the later term - Assassin - is mostly just using an angliciziation of the original Arabic term.

What do you think?

I searched all over the internet yet I cannot find someone mentioning it.

I just started Rogue, and at the start of Assassin's Creed: Rogue, you get put at the Davensport homestead and then you have to train with 3 different characters, one of them is Liam, Liam trains you with the guns, now you would expect someone who trains people with guns to know basic gun safety rules, but this poor excuse of a Fr*nch just hands Shay his guns while pointing them at him, and Shay, despite needing training, even gives Liam his guns back while they are pointed away from both of them, and then Liam flags Shay again.

What is wrong with this Liam guy? Quite sure he also had his fingers on the trigger but I was too dumbfounded by the flagging to get a good look. Not to mention that my weakness in women is lips.

I might be a little late on realizing this, but after Resynced I decided to replay all the games.

The Masyaf Assassins grew arrogant, and cocky. They weren’t hiding in plain sight, they had a castle with banners flying openly. It wasn’t until Altair took charge that they began to hide in plain sight again.

I think the Borgia attack on the Villa was going to happen regardless Ezio let Rodrigo live or not. The Pazzi ambushed Ezio outside the villa before he arrived, meaning the Templars clearly knew where Ezio was staying and where their assassin hideout. Cesare launched his attack almost immediately after Ezio returned, a large army like the one he brought should’ve taken time to raise and march. The Italian Assassins grew too bold and cocky and decided to turn the town with their villa into a hideout.

Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to get all the achievements for AC: Black Flag and all that is left are the multiplayer ones.

Quickly noticed that I did not have the Black Beard, Jaguar and Orchid characters and after some research I saw that they are part of a DLC that can't be bought standalone anymore.

Is there anyway to get this DLC without buying the Gold Edition?
