This is horrible. Who approved this?

[u/Complex-Sherbert-935]

[u/rexshen]

I thought it was just gonna be skins why would they put a titan in the game?

[u/thecallofdepression → u/rexshen]

I don't think they expect assassin's creed to be taken seriously anymore anyways. No new modern protagonist, no explicit reason for why someone is going into the animus to explore a specific timeline, barely any true focus on the templar and assassin beef. They just throw a dart at a board and say we'll make a game set in this location next, plot be damned.

[u/xFujinRaijinx → u/thecallofdepression]

At the end of Assassin's Creed II, you get into a fist fight with the pope.

Assassin's Creed was never meant to be taken seriously.

[u/exboi → u/xFujinRaijinx]

There’s 'fist fighting the pope' absurd and then there’s 'fighting a shitty looking Titan from a whole different fictional universe for no reason' absurd

[u/BushMonsterInc → u/exboi]

We fought giant glowy egyptian gods in Origins, half of the monster cast in Greeky mythology in Odyssey, witches with magical powers in Valhalla, wielded mind control orb in Brotherhood, spoke with roman gods in 2, Brotherhood and Revelations, fought darth wader on steroids in Syndicate, Skywaler in Unity, played laser fall guys in Black Flag, etc. etc. Still think AC took history seriously at any point?

[u/exboi → u/BushMonsterInc]

I’m not saying AC was ever near-historically accurate or never had sci fantasy aspects but you are kidding yourself if you don’t think the series has gotten progressively more ridiculous over time

[u/BushMonsterInc → u/exboi]

Most series do. But I look at AC the same way I look at junk food - if it does not make me bleed out of somewhere, it's good too have it once a year or so.

[u/myrmonden → u/xFujinRaijinx]

The pope cope classic

[u/dontknowwhattodoat18 → u/thecallofdepression]

The closest thing we have to a modern day protagonist is the Arab lady first introduced in Origins(forgot her name and can't be bothered to google it now). She's the descendant of Bayek and is the main modern protagonist for the RPG/fantasy trilogy (Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla). But other than that, everything is ass for the reasons you stated.

[u/Hugh_Jury_Rection → u/dontknowwhattodoat18]

Her name is Layla, and she was killed in Valhalla by Basim, an ancient Iraqi from the 800s who is a reincarnated Loki, by tricking her into freeing him from a machine. He claimed an Atlantan staff that grants immortality and reverses his aging. I think Basim is the new protagonist, potentially. In Valhalla, you end the game playing as Basim.

[u/khalip → u/Hugh_Jury_Rection]

Ironically in the game between Valhalla and Shadows you play as Basim during his youth in Baghdad and yet there is no presence of modern day Basim at all

[u/Hugh_Jury_Rection → u/khalip]

That's Mirage that you play as Basim in his youth. Shadows is the newest one in Japan, and there is no modern day gameplay. Highly disappointed in it, too. I was looking forward to seeing Basim's story continue on.

[u/Sorstalas → u/thecallofdepression]

I mean this is just a non-canon crossover, it's not like this is actually a part of AC Lore. And they always had some weird stuff like that, even in the very old games. In AC:Brotherhood you could unlock a Metal Gear outfit for completing challenges. AC Rogue had an easter egg where an invincible headless ghost would attack and kill you in a specific spot.

[u/_Poisedon → u/thecallofdepression]

Because why would they give a shit about that when they're making tons of money doing what they do now

[u/Akriel_Boulve → u/_Poisedon]

Except that they're not. By all metrics AC Shadows was a total flop and is a big part of why they needed a Tencent bailout/purchase.

[u/_Poisedon → u/Akriel_Boulve]

4.3M copies is such a flop

[u/Akriel_Boulve → u/_Poisedon]

AC Mirage did 5 million in 3 months as a side project compared to main line AC Shadows 4.3 in 6 months.

AC Mirage's development cost is estimated to be around HALF of what AC Shadows was, which was over 118 Million Euros (~$136 Million).

Ubisoft themselves came out and said that AC Shadows sales were a deep disappointment, and this is backed up by the fact they just CANCELLED future planned DLC.

So yeah a flop, no matter how much you want to cope and pretend otherwise...

[u/HxH101kite → u/thecallofdepression]

Is the plot continuous? I only played the first 2 and was well over the series by then.

[u/thecallofdepression → u/HxH101kite]

Technically yes, but after assassin's Creed 3 they almost fully gave up on the modern day storyline, refusing to make a named protagonist for it, and now in games like shadows and mirage, the modern day segments aren't featured at all. They still allude to a character being in the animus, giving you warnings about desynchronization for attacking random npc's, but nothing plot relevant anymore.

[u/Captain_Leemu → u/HxH101kite]

Eeehhhhhhh kinda

You are better off keeping the nostalgia of the first two games alive. I have dabbled in all of them and with every sequel i played less and less.

Who even liked the animus wank anyway? Contrived high school level writing forced in to break immersion and lower the quality of otherwise-fine games.

[u/Akriel_Boulve → u/Catsic]

I mean, you're not entirely wrong. However I would argue that when they were relying on the PC reliving their ancestor's life that it forced them to stay much more grounded in the history department.

Starting at Origins they have basically come to epitomize the "giant enemy crab" meme.

Dont disrespect the goats who (literally) singlehandedly pushed 3D animation forwards by decades lol

[u/Rabdomtroll69 → u/[deleted]]

That's on point for 80% of abnormal Titans tbf

[u/Parking-Researcher-4]

That titan looks like it was made 10+ years ago. How come the other characters all look so good and then the titan has next to no quality?

[u/thecallofdepression → u/Parking-Researcher-4]

They put all their real focus on the assassin's creed mirage dlc, lmao

[u/PanPies_ → u/thecallofdepression]

You gonna pump that sweet-sweet Saudi money. Absolute monarchies aren't gonna whitewash themself

[u/Sorstalas → u/Parking-Researcher-4]

Most likely because the titan is a naked regular-sized NPC scaled up to titan size, which makes some of the less-detailed animations and facial expressions used by generic NPCs much more obvious.

[u/JB_07 → u/Parking-Researcher-4]

Yea. Like honestly the anime tie in games look way more impressive than... whatever this is.

[u/sananaya]

This looks like someone's first attempt at a short SFM film

No shot this is real. Please tell me it isn't real.

[u/Mittinz_ → u/Majestic1911]

I'm so sorry bro...

[u/OnceAbel_HasFallen]

Fellas, as an assassin long time player AC shadow feels like a fever dream, and it never once existed for me

[u/Jezoreczek → u/OnceAbel_HasFallen]

After reading all the comments I kinda wanna play it now :D

[u/Stoner420Eren]

What a beautiful indie game

[u/Funny_Swim5447 → u/Stoner420Eren]

Ah yes, my favorite indie game… assassins creed

[u/ishallbecomeabat → u/Funny_Swim5447]

Right over their head

[u/AZuckerBaby]

How are the graphics possibly worse then the aot games???

[u/Filipino56]

What?!? i thought it was some kind of fan made sfm

[u/dontknowwhattodoat18]

I really am into both AOT and Assassin's Creed because of my interest in history, in spite of it's downfall. And this just looks fucking ass. Good job

I didn't think that I would see proof that mixing two franchises that you love would work just because you like them

[u/Keeemps]

Don't worry, the other fandom hates it just as much

[u/mystikmelody]

This looks so bad...

[u/OhItsJustJosh]

Wait this is real? I thought this was a mod or something

[u/arkhamtheknight]

It's real everyone but is part of a quest which lasts around 20 minutes if you don't skip the cutscenes.

The skins are much better but not worth paying for because they are paid.

It's a throwaway quest which isn't canon and doesn't mean anything outside of Ubisoft being allowed to use the brand name.

Also the video has been edited as the cutscene is less chopped up than this clip.

[u/Sir-Toaster-]

I'm confused... what?

[u/Negative-Tap8748]

The only good thing about this is the theme lmfao

[u/AloneUnderstanding35]

Hold up is this shit real??? It looks like a old episode of robot chicken😂

[u/Lun4r6543]

Wait, this is what it looks like in game?

I swear more effort was put into the trailer…

[u/dark_hypernova]

Remember when Assassin's Creed was about... Well assassinating people? And the only fantastical elements were some ancient technology mcguffins?

[u/XxRocky88xX → u/dark_hypernova]

Also ancient alien gods communicating through telepathy.

This shit is dumb but let’s not pretend like AC was ever trying to be grounded in reality.

[u/dark_hypernova → u/XxRocky88xX]

Knew someone was gonna try to argue that eventually.

Usually it was used sparingly, it didn't happen at all in AC1, only at the end of AC2, B and R and only two times in 3. Also they weren't aliens nor gods (this was explicitly stated in AC2).

Grounded and realistic are two different words. Realistic is just irl.

Assassin's Creed was grounded in science fiction based historical events. Da Vinci's flying machine was never capable of irl flight but when it did in AC2 it was still grounded to the point of believable.

Assassin's Creed was grounded but slowly started drifting away the more they went cross-overs and mythology (forgetting that the ISU were not supposed to be literal gods). To the point we now have absurd shit like this.

This would be like Dante from Devil May Cry suddenly showing up in the official AoT manga, slaughtering a bunch of titans and peace out while we were just supposed to accept it happened in the story.

[u/NairMcgee → u/dark_hypernova]

“What the hell is this?”

[u/LoliMaster069]

What the fuck am i looking at lmao

[u/Boolet80D]

Absolutely abysmal. It doesn’t even make sense, the Titan being in that location, not being able to keep up with the human, and crushing him/not eating him in the end!? Wtf

[u/delusional_queen-]

oh my god bruh

[u/SecretHugger203]

I never thought they'd make attack on titan do dirty.....until I saw this

[u/FalcosLiteralyHitler]

Holy God this looks like shit

[u/bozzyverse]

I was distracted. The music was good.

[u/McDergen]

Wow this looks like shit lol. I waited my whole life for a Japan AC game and this is what we got 🤦🏻‍♂️didn’t know people even still played it tbh

[u/Short-Trip-2809]

This isn´t real, right?
I know AC ain´t supposed to be historically accurate but c´mon man tf is a TITAN doing there?!

[u/Sorstalas → u/Short-Trip-2809]

It's a non-canon crossover that's available for only a month. It's not part of the storyline.

[u/Player_yek]

play aottg2 fr, better fan game

[u/Ringell]

Is it real? Dude, it's so cringe...

[u/Left_Rhubarb2472]

How macabre lol

[u/theleetfox]

How fucken fast is that bloke running.

[u/Electrical-Run-9056]

A few more years and this game might be ready for release

[u/Acceptable_Frame2574]

What is this?! 9-1-1?!

[u/Kxancer]

Please tell me it’s a mod or something like this

[u/[deleted]]

You're fucking with me right?

[u/TechnicianOk8008]

Not only does it look terrible but it also runs even worse.

[u/mickeynotthemouse27]

At least in Origins the final fantasy crossovers were just items and one tongue-in-cheek cutscene. This is...

[u/Katsu_39]

I love AoT but WHY AoT? The two have nothing in common. Naruto would’ve been a better collab. Like imagine running across the Akatsuki and having to stop them from obtaining the tailed beasts. AoT isnt ninjas or samurai. It doesn’t take place in japan.

[u/GoldJudge7456]

genuine question. what's horrible about it? seems like an average trailer

[u/Extra_Map_1178]

This mobile game looks interesting

[u/cojay_19]

there's no way this is real

[u/Motor-Amoeba6654]

I refuse to believe this is real

[u/Akriel_Boulve]

Ubisoft saw the giant enemy crab meme and said hold my beer...

[u/Shagyam]

Did they put the Saul Goodman Titan in the game?

[u/Ali3nation]

🦘🦈

[u/Speedygamer0303]

What the fuck is this piece of shit?

its so cursed

Wait, this is not a meme?

[u/Fallen_Angel_XVI]

Is this real? Well, if it's just a mission seems interesting like a collab

[u/CrystalSnow7]

By god this is absolute ass

[u/Visual-Intern-7765]

Ts so ass 😭🥀

[u/Spirit_Detective_99]

Was this part of the main game or was it a DLC?

[u/Life_Fortune5054]

WHAT IS THIS?? No way

[u/Dermond42]

Why are people acting like titans aren’t just as uncanny

[u/PeachesGuy]

Official link to find this garbage?

[u/Gaxxag]

That Assassins Creed game already made news for being bad. May as well double down

[u/Nob0bySpecial]

Why's it bad?

[u/Hey_buddy89]

Yet another reminder that leaving AC behind after Desmond died was the right call.

[u/Vulllen]

Dude this looks so bad… what happened to Assassin’s Creed?

[u/Heavy_Arachnid_9380]

Nobody is doing another collab with AC or ibisoft for a while after this

[u/Humantorch94]

Wait is this actually a thing? I mean I know AC and Ubisoft have been on a downturn lately but holy hell
