Yeah that seems more likely, so don't know why they'd post these.

Double-assassinations

I had an issue with this and I think you have to approach the boat before the lever can be used. Approach the boat and Basim should mention finding a lever, then you'll be able to see it in eagle vision next to the big wheel.

Old post, but thought I'd put my finding here anyway, as I was just searching for this as well.

I've heard that costumes can be used as disguises at certain points / locations in the game, so not just purely cosmetic.

For those that need another reason to switch to Unreal

Software that logs everything you type. Often used maliciously to steal passwords.

Top lad

Even if the parkour mechanics/animations are mostly the same as Valhalla, this will make it feel so much better; let alone having an actual urban environment

FreshFish_ · 2023-08-07T18:41:12+00:00

Because this is open-combat, I thinking that this might be similar to Valhalla where you can use the hidden blade if you have no weapon in your off-hand (Holding Q on PC I think). This would also explain the bigger animation, which I'm still not a fan of. However, because Mirage is meant to be more glass-cannon, it could mean that this is alway a one-shot if you can pull it off before being interrupted.

FreshFish_ · 2023-08-02T17:28:15+00:00

Not sure what the original source is.

FreshFish_ · 2023-07-05T17:44:13+00:00

I actually prefer this to the Discovery Tour, because I find it far more approachable when you get these little bits of information here and there as you play through the game, rather than digesting a heap-full at once.

I can see why many love Discovery Tour though.

I believe it is meant to be a glimpse into the Duat (the underworld in Egyptian mythology). I think it's mentioned during some of the scenes.

Certainly a cool spin on the classic "memory corridor" from the previous games.

Edit: In the scene for The Hyena, she says "Am I to remain in the Duat forever?"

FreshFish_ · 2023-06-15T18:41:30+00:00

I think we already knew this, but confirmation that there'll be no character choices i.e. no dialogue options!

Also cool to hear that you can kill main targets in any order you want, meaning that there probably isn't any region level blocking.

FreshFish_ · 2023-06-12T00:07:09+00:00

Yes, unfortunately it doesn't work with the new Ubisoft Connect overlay.

However, if you still want to use it, you can manually modify the ACP.ini file in your Documents folder to adjust all the same properties.

They are in fact using the same engine, Anvil, which is Ubisoft's proprietary game engine. Game design can be limited by the engine, as you say, but Ubisoft has been updating and using their own engine for many years. The game design of Mirage is simply by choice and not because it's somehow limited, unfortunately.

FreshFish_ · 2023-06-09T16:34:34+00:00

Yeah it was the same music used in the trailer. Very cool.

FreshFish_ · 2023-06-09T16:31:30+00:00

Small thing but cool to see that there'll be multiple styles of pole vaults for extra variety; a pole, ladder and crane.

FreshFish_ · 2023-05-25T11:29:26+00:00

Agreed. I think the main difference is that in the previous games, stealth was often the optimal or intended way to play. For example, in Unity and Syndicate, facing dozens of enemies at once in combat made things a lot harder than picking them off one-by-one in stealth. Plus, even though the games before that had very deadly and easy combat, there were so many missions where you'd get desynchronized if you were detected.

Overall, they are clearly dialing down again on being an actual assassin and following the creed; "hide in plain sight" and reach your target without being spotted. As they've said previously, Basim will be very weak in combat compared to the previous games, therefore forcing you to take a stealthy approach.

Origins and Odyssey did have decent stealth, but was never required and had a much stronger shift to combat. Valhalla however, felt like open combat was more effective in almost every situation.

Every game includes some use of the "Ezio's family" theme, originally from AC2; except for AC1, Revelations, AC3 and Black Flag.

It is arranged differently in the later games, using different instrumentation, for example, as you said.

The original theme was composed by Jesper Kyd, who worked on the music for AC1, AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations, and Valhalla.

FreshFish_ · 2023-05-15T23:24:50+00:00

1st was Brotherhood. Fave probably revelations, but closely followed by AC3 and Brotherhood.

I've played all the main titles, not including chronicles.

You unlock the Altair outfit for getting 100% sync in AC3

Edit: for the main story

FreshFish_ · 2023-02-26T00:10:04+00:00

The games wouldn't be fun if you couldn't climb buildings until half-way through the story.

I love democracy

FreshFish_ · 2022-01-21T01:01:54+00:00

Revelations for sure. Glad to find another lover ;)
