Assassin's Creed Unity controls will take series regulars 'a few hours' to get used to, says Ubi

Assassin's Creed Unity's revamped control scheme will take series regulars "a few hours" to get used to, according to senior producer Vincent Pontbriand, who admits he's a little concerned that the new controls may upset fans when they come to play the game in November.

This Vincent guy needs to shut the hell up quickly or nobody will end up buying AC Unity.

Not to mention I do not know an intelligent gamer out there that will need a few hours to figure out any control scheme. That is unless you are required to play with your feet or something.

Knightshade3496d ago

I played it recently. Took me about 30 minutes, max to be used to it. Not sure why he thinks hours...

starchild3496d ago

To get totally used to a new control scheme when you are used to another can take a decent amount of time. When I started playing Shadow of Mordor, for example, I was used to playing AC4 and since SOM was similar I had to adapt to the differences and that did take a little time until I was 100% comfortable with it.

gamerfan09093497d ago

Lol at nobody buying the game. This game will do gigantic business.

Meltic3496d ago

Buy from him ? never. Go to piratebay

Geekman3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

Something that might actually be concerning and everyone's still raging that it's 900p.

Edit: Company BS happens ALL the time. Even your favorite companies do it. Sony raised the price of the PS4 in Canada just for the Hell of it! Warner bros refused to patch Arkham Origins and kept working on DLC! All Ubisoft did was lower the resolution of a game.

But I didn't see ANYONE crying "PlaystationNation" And acting all self entitled to the first two. The only time you resolution obsessed maniacs come together is when a games graphics are involved!

No one is raging that it's 900p. Everyone is raging at WHY it's 900p.

Baka-akaB3497d ago

Concerning ? that's good news when added to the rest . Last thing i wanted was a ridiculously easy game involving mashing counters and attacks for fighting , and too lenient and automatic climbing and grabs .

I also welcome the addition of an actual stealth button . I longed for something more along the line of at least AC1 for challenge , with the awesome vibe and quality of AC2 ... and so far it's sounding close

nucky643497d ago

I wonder how long before someone else at ubi comes out and says: "I can see how vincents comments were misunderstood".....LMAO

TheUpbringer3497d ago

I would assume so. The automatic ascend/descend mechanic will be a little weird, but so long as it increases my deadly onslaught to be more fluid, then I'm fine.

George Sears3497d ago (Edited 3497d ago )

Yeah, at least we won't have that awkward jumping up on a random wall when running. This simple new mechanic will make the game a lot more fluid.

Dawknight3163497d ago

-_- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I Played Assassin’s Creed Unity Almost 10 Years Later. It’s (Kinda) Spectacular

Do the NPCs still randomly levitate every now and then? Even years later I noticed they hadn't patched that out

andy8553d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Honestly I loved the PS4 ACs. I'd love next gen ports of Black Flag, Unity and Syndicate

Five small but brilliant maps in games

Small video game maps that are packed with things to do are better than huge but empty maps. Here are five small but brilliant maps in games.

Why Assassin’s Creed Unity remains one of the best games in the series

GF365: "Since the first Assassin’s Creed game, there have been entries up until now. There are more than a few titles that are far from an ideal stealth game. Let’s discuss why 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity is one of the best games in the series."

Glitchy as hell and flat story, nah this aint it. AC2, brotherhood and 4 were amazing games in every respective

Furesis531d ago

Yeah i would say brotherhood and 4 were the best for me. I have not played the new ones and Unity was my last one. Seems like i made a good choice.

DarXyde531d ago

I gave up after Revelations. Just couldn't bring myself to care anymore and I got burned out of the gameplay.

Definitely agree on 2 and Brotherhood though. Great games.

YourMommySpoils531d ago

A Ubisoft AC game that's not glitchy? That will be the day.

Knightofelemia531d ago

After constant glitches Arno being boring nah I am good I skipped Unity. I will always like the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, Odyssey, Syndicate. I use to love the franchise but now it feels stale and boring. But my list of favorite entries into the franchise will vary from other players favorite entries.

RaidenBlack531d ago

Odyssey is a really well-made RPG game ... but it ain't a proper AC game, even though its part of the lore

ToddlerBrain531d ago

It’s funny because, at launch, it was universally panned for being unplayable. It’s a great game that holds up today. I’m glad they fixed it.

staticall531d ago

The only good things i remember from Unity are pretty graphics and really good descending mechanics (even though it sometimes didn't make much sense, when your character can drop down from like 10 meter height onto a flagpole perfectly).

Game is glitchy to this day, i was playing in it years after the release date (with all the DLCs) and it's still broken. You had to reload missions too often for my taste (characters do not spawn, you fall through the floor, getting stuck in falling/sitting/aiming animation, hidden blade stop working, assassination target running away at the start of the mission). Story was meh, searching for all the treasures wasn't enjoyable at all. Coop was pretty much useless, i've beaten every coop mission in solo. Helix rifts were awful as well.

Not saying i hate this game or anything, but it got too many problems.

Assassin's Creed (i know it's a controversial opinion) and Assassin's Creed 2 are still great to this day.

anast531d ago

Unity was okay. I prefer Syndicate and Origins.
