Assassins Creed: Syndicate
Now known as Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (formally 'Victory'), Ubisoft hosted a closer look at a British assassin, trying to fight oppression in 1868 at the end of the Industrial Revolution. According to the studio, 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."
The map will 30% bigger than Paris in Unity and will be split into 7 districts - Strand, Westminster, Whitechapel, City of London, Thames, Southwark and Lambeth.
This will be single player only & will feature 2 main assassin characters, twins Jacob & Evie.

This looks absolutely immense. I love films, TV etc in this sort of setting so this will be a must buy for me. I hope it's not plagued with problems like Unity was
Release date 23rd October on PS4, PC & Xbox One

Have to admit that I thought the same myself.
It's the shape of the roofs.
It looks like they've used the same generic building models but given them a different skin.
Unity was so great - cant wait for the new one.
Oh and they have already confirmed a season pass and multiple DLC's . We gamers just love all that.
Finally several different pre-order versions to buy each with exclusive content - another sure fire winner.
oh wait.....
(for all you guillible lemmings out there - this post is sarcastic.)
I did notice a couple of Paris shaped roofs in the trailer which was a bit jarring. Looks good to me anyway.
The setting is Victorian London which is the thing that really tempts me and the male main character design is pretty good.
I'm not impressed with the female design though. I'm more excited than I was when it was first announced but I think I'm all Assassin's Creeded out.
So not like this then:

They have ruined the series with the yearly releases. Black flag is the best AC game of recent times, but only for the bits that are not like a typical AC game,
But still the buildings don't look right either, which maybe adds to the effect of not looking like London
I really wish this franchise would take a year or two off though as they seem to be running out of steam on the story. I am finding the ACU story rather boring and generic.
I agree with the way the buildings themselves look though.
The rooftops definitely don't look right but then again I guess we only saw a small part of the city in the trailer. I thought the colours looked a little odd, all greens and browns.
Wandering around opening endless amounts of chests or tailing someone has been done to death by the series, I wish they'd take more risks and introduce more new elements.
The murder mystery investigations in Unity were a step in the right direction as well as the riddles, which I'd like to see return since they helped you learn more about the different landmarks.
I'm a big fan of the series too.
Still trying to work my way through both Rogue and the Unity DLC at the same time.
I quite liked Unity but with Syndicate now set in Victorian times and Ubisoft ruling out WW2 or modern AC's they're starting to run out of time periods going forwards so they'll have to jump back at some point.
Since then the only one that's interested me's been Black Flag, would still like to play that.
I kind of agree with all the above comments.
Personally, I think the AC series went down hill the second they got rid of the flat roofs of the early AC games (Ezio's story). Trying to free run along the streets or along the roofs of house with tall triangular roofs, was a complete nightmare.
I have both Unity and Black Flag and lost interest in both of these (didn't even make it through to the half way marks), so I am not so sure about this new installment..........
The rope dart is a interesting addition although feels a little to much like batman having used this in all there arkham games (although I suppose detective mode is eagle vision) but imitation is the greatest format of flattery.
Unity was a great game despite its flaws and if they have refined tile engine and added the above and more features it should be a good game.
unity is the 1st creed on the next gen it had its flaws much like the original on the last gen consoles then 2 came along..have a good feeling about syndicate.
