Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate (formerly known as Victory) is going to be officially revealed tomorrow when Ubisoft does their live stream. However, Polygon got their hands on some promotional material with some initial info.
According to the marketing material, the game will:
transport millions of gamers to an astonishing recreation of London during the Industrial Revolution where they will find themselves immersed in a game world they’ll have to see to believe.
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate will star Jacob Frye, and those who are still gullible enough to pre-order games can do so through GameSpot to get a replica shilling pendant. It still weirds me out that we know pre-order details before we know, you know, actual game details.
Still, I’m glad we have a name and I’m looking forward to the official information. Assassin’s Creed games are always visually stunning and offer impressive breadth. I’m honestly excited for this title – there is so much that can be done in that time period; and it’s just modern enough to feel like a great leap forward while still seriously rooted in the past. Plus, there can be all kinds of fun areas of London to explore and hopefully a lot of full scale buildings ala what we saw in Assassin’s Creed: Unity.
It’s nice to have confirmation of the game’s title, as well as setting and the main assassin. Here’s hoping that they’ve learned from their mistakes from last year and launch a really quality game on day one. Perhaps even with some female assassins if they had the resources to animate them.

They’ll probably gooi us with more things never seen before in other Assasins Creed games at E3… I saw the schedule and well yeah Ubi and EA is taking over again it seems.

Learned from their mistakes? Ubisoft? I’m not sure what to say to that really, they still haven’t fixed Uplay, which is the first obstacle that claims lives…
HairyEwok
May 11, 2015 at 10:40
Sure they fix the games but as you state. Cant play a game if you cant even log in to play it XD
Greylingad[CNFRMD]
May 11, 2015 at 11:10
You see, Uplay should get a title too, Assassin’s Creed: Uplay, that’ll be enough to halt sales worldwide….

It is quite possible, but I’m not sure what uneartly magical metal he uses to trim it though

I miss Assassin’s Creed. Only 1, 2, and 4 have a place in memory. I have played many parkour/sandbox/quiet stabby games with that name, but only 3 Assassin’s Creeds. So please let this be good.
Don’t let us down Ubisoft.
What am I saying…?

Will let us down Ubisoft* There fixed it.

To further support the fish analogy, Fry is what a baby fish is called. I wonder if this fish will have advanced AI?

Not sure if fish or human being….

I believe the fish AI was already done in Call Urgh Doodie….

I would, but then again I play games and watch porn so my brains rewired.
Greylingad[CNFRMD]
May 11, 2015 at 10:49
Hahahahaha!! It’s not that gamers watch porn, it’s that we watch porn as a break between gaming, right?

Usually I’m off to the pub for break but sure why not?

I’ll buy you a beer at the bar, I don’t always understand how people make assumptions like that and then publicise it…it’s ridiculous…

Gotta blame it on something. Mine is global warming or Obama.

Should have blamed it on Jan van Riebeeck….

Greylingad[CNFRMD]

I have to say though, driving at top speed on the autobahn…that’d be a dream come true, especially in a Fiat 500…

XD but seriously though, I’ll buy Unity once the GOTY is out.
HairyEwok
May 11, 2015 at 10:48
Sure patches…. Patch the face, patch the walking, patch the climbing…. You know what why not just patch the whole game over, oh wait they did that.
Matthew Holliday
May 11, 2015 at 10:56
not really excited, but that black and gold with the walking stick looks legit.
if they take what they did right with unity, il be stoked and will prolly buy it if its not like R600 on pc.
HairyEwok
May 11, 2015 at 11:01
DLC’s all of it. You want nice clothing to wear, DLC. You want a cane that’s probably a sword, DLC. Shit even the knuckle busters would probably be DLC.

./care about assassins creed DLC. really…
im just waiting for the price drop.
Jonah Cash
May 11, 2015 at 11:00
Yeah anything under R400 and I would pick it up. Sounds like my plan for most games now it would seem. Screw this industry, I am now part of the wait for the price drop club.
Matthew Holliday
May 11, 2015 at 11:04
if it comes up at R450 when it comes up on preorder, il probably bag it.
anything under that is unrealistic, will probably be 2 years+ till it shows up on a steam special for under R400

That can actually happen, FC3 was free at one point.

The game was R299 on XBL last week. I paid R199 during a sale. It’s a beautiful game with interesting mechanics but the story is a snore fest from midway onward.

Assassins creed liberty had a female main didnt it? came with my old graphics card when it was eventually released for pc, played like 5 minutes and stopped because it was bad, not because female.
Id be down for a chick assassin, a bit of change is good.
played a bit of unity, wasnt as fun as Rogue or Black Flag. better, but not as fun.
better isnt always better.
the city was too big, i feel the need to clean up a map befor touching the story line, when i messed around in unity, it took way too long. previous games got it right, separate it more.
the coop and those random missions felt forced if you wanted to level.
customisation was nice and felt fresh, but the best looking loot was always trash tier… would also have liked a custom colour selection thing. their options were trash.
they must learn from their mistakes as much as they do from the stuff they do right.

Can’t get myself to buy Unity nevermind this one. Maybe, MAYBE if they decide to release a GOTY edition I’ll consider it. But as it stands, the last AC game for me was Rogue
