    I just introduced my 8 year old brother to this series and started him with AC2 because that was my favorite when I was his age although I did play AC1 first. But it’s really cool to see him get excited about movement in a game that’s nowhere near as fast or flashy as Fortnite. He actually gets hyped on the feeling of improving at the game and having to get better at the mechanics. You know you’ve made a good gameplay system when it’s challenging but also rewarding and in turn makes players excited to get more into it.

    Ac syndicate's parkour is so unbelievably underrated. The grapple hook is the most underappreciated gameplay feature in the entire franchise. For the first time in an assassin's creed game, i almost never had to climb down a building to continue my parkour to the other side of the street and i found that revolutionary and incredibly helpful. The main complaint i usually see about syndicate's parkour is about how the buildings are so massive and the streets are so large which makes parkour a bit tiring to do,when the literal point of the grapple hook is to be the solution to this issue. The buildings and streets seem massive only if you don't use the grapple hook. If you do use it you never have to climb down a building and the parkour continues flawlessly.The parkour movements are great, not as great as unity's, but still the second most realistic-looking in the franchise. Of course it has it's problems, with the main issue being the lack of a jump button. But i really don't understand why the parkour is so hated by many fans

    • @oscarjenkins7505
      @oscarjenkins7505 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +36

      Yeah, but if you’re using the grapple hook that often, then you’re not doing much parkour. Syndicate is controversially my favourite game in the whole series, but I had this same problem with the parkour. I’d grapple in between buildings, climb over the roof of the next building, grapple again, climb over again, etc, etc. It’s not even really parkour at that point. I think the grapple hook could’ve been an amazing feature if it was more of a choice to use it. I didn’t like it because you’re forced to use it if you want somewhat fast movement, rather than being able to go between buildings naturally but having the choice use the grapple hook if you want to.

      parkour down is still like half the parkouring. just because you suk at climbing down or cuz the game literally gives you a tool to literally SKIP the actual parkour doesnt mean it is an improvement. they should have made the parkpur down more fun like classic ACs or Unity instead of just letting you ignore it
      it is like a game letting you skip the 2nd phase of a boss fight and you claiming "wow! amazing boss design,
      i can skip to the 3rd phase of the boss fight. incredible🤓"

      But it doesn't tells because it doesnt works at all. Its cool to see jcer video on parkour but doing yourself you will feel a bugy experience and half finished animations. You have to hope you can get double kill jump, 90% movement arno decides what to do and rest is distributed by hald baked animations. Its not paris problem that it provides options to choose, but gameplay mechanic is broken that sometimes dont do things well. You can rarely perform swing, side ejects(not any direction but only 90 degree turns) and arno decides the landing. You hop over wall, you accidently hop 4 meter away from target. If this game had time slowing ability which allows me to choose snap targeting instead of based on most fluid animation, game would be what we want from ac games.

    My only gripe with the Revelations parkour is that I felt like compared to the other games in the trilogy Ezio would often stumble to one knee when jumping to a ledge that was at a slight angle. This would occasionally happen in the previous games but it was definitely at its worst here. I’m not sure if it was a coding issue or something to do with the environment but it breaks the flow of parkour quite significantly and looks kind of clumsy. Even in this video alone you can see it numerous times. Other than that Revelations is a great game overall.

      finally someone that notices it.
      yeah, 27:33 it is giga annoying. and it is in brotherhood and AC2 as well. if you jump at a ledge in an angle more than 45° horizontally than Ezio breaks the speed and does this.
      but altair ALMOST never does it, it is so freeing in ac1 you can just leap and zip all over ledges at crazy angles and Altair will land elegantly and maintain speed gracefully and it feels amazing. but with ezio there is always this doubt while leaping at angles bit more than 45° where he will stumble everytime and lose all momentum.
      i never understand why they changed this from AC1. in AC1 it is much more forgiving, literally the only reason i enjoy AC1 parkour more than Ezio trilogy cuz as Altair i dont constantly have to 2nd guess myself during leaps. stuff like at 27:33 happens a bit too much in ezio trilogy but rarely in AC1

For me, that was the pinacle of the parkour/free running with maybe some slight improvements in certain regards in Black Flags and Rogue aside from the rock climbing going missing.

    I actually would prefer ac 1,2 and unity over revelations. The classic games were all about finding the quickest way through observing and mastering environment and system. But the addition of hook blade kinda removed the need to master the parkour system. As an example, you don’t really need to use side/back ejects to climb the buildings faster, the hook blade just does it. I personally think ac2 has the best parkour specially in Venice

I'm on Xbox so I always thought you had to tap 'A' just before an obstacle but turns out you just hold the 'A' button lol. I got Ac3 back when it came out and it's taken me just over 10 years to work that out 😅

    I always thought Unity's parkour was overrated. It has a lot of great animations and I love the descend down feature, but the system is terribly imprecise, floaty and clunky overall. Unity's parkour looks amazing when you watch a perfectly choreographed parkour video that took 20 trials, but when you play the game yourself, you quickly realize how unreliable it is. Arno routinely loses momentum, jumps on something you didn't intend, and gets confused. When I play any of the first 4 games, I always know where I'll jump and I can predict with like 95% accuracy what will happen with a specific input. In Unity, however, I am NEVER sure what will happen. Will Arno jump to the point I intended? Will he do a random horizontal wallrun and grab the wall for no reason? Will he grab some random pole 5 ft above that I didn't even notice? Who knows. Unity's parkour has the biggest potential for "cool parkour montages", but in practice it's just a pain in the @ss to use.
    To me, an ideal AC parkour system would be a blend of the Ezio trilogy and Unity. Give me the technical precision and freedom of Ezio games, but with flashy animations of Unity. That would be amazing.

      Nah you're just bad at it, Unity has the best parkour system in the entire series and it's not even close, if Arno doesn't go the way you wanted, or if he jumps too far or whatever, it's YOUR fault, there's tutorial on TH-cam to truly understand the movement, but if your character can't do what you intended, it's a skill issue, I 100% the game 3 times since the release and the only times I thought that Arno didn't do what I wanted, was in my first playthrough, cause I learned how to play after

      @@bastiendamour1617 You just refuse to acknowledge actual flaws in Unity's system, so you kind of have to make excuses - "you're just bad at it", "you are imprecise", "skill issue" and blah blah blah.
      No. The fact of the matter is that Unity's parkour is not precise enough, given how cluttered and complex the climbable elements are. Paris is absolutely packed with ropes, poles, parkour routes, and handholds. Unity's parkour system is definitely the most ambitious one in the series, in the sense that it lets you do a lot of different moves and has the nicest looking animations. However, it also has a few major issues that make it unreliable, annoying and clunky. For example:
      1. Animation blending is not the best, so even the simplest things like jumping from one beam to another can feel choppy and unnatural. Arno doesn't carry enough momentum when jumping from point to point and his jumps often feel unnaturaly long, because the animations are kind of "stretched" depending on the distance of the jump.
      2. Performing side ejects is extremely unreliable. You can't perform them manually with 100% success rate like in the Ezio trilogy. Arno will sometimes eject to a beam that's to the side, and sometimes he won't. Very often he'll just jump to another handhold instead. This is extremely annoying and can completely ruin the flow of a run. Not because of "skill issue" on the part of the player, but because the system is not precise enough.
      3. When you drop from a ledge and hit the ground, it often lacks any impact. Arno can drop from like 5 meters and barely even bend his legs during the landing, which makes the parkour seem unnatural and floaty.
      4. It's extremely easy to get stuck on random objects that you would never want to climb. Stuff like tables, stools, tiny poles, fences etc.
      5. The distance of a jump is imprecise. In Ezio trilogy, when you are standing on a ledge and you jump forward, you can very easily predict how far Ezio will jump. The distance of a jump is consistent throughout the game, so you always know what will happen after your input. In Unity, it's a game of guessing. Sometimes Arno performs ridiculously long jumps that you would not expect him to achieve. Other times you think he should be able to reach something, only to see him fail. That's another instance of the system being imprecise.
      6. The manual grab when jumping is terrible. In Ezio trilogy, when you performed a long jump that didn't automatically guide you to a handhold, you could always try to manually catch a ledge to save yourself. Or you could extend your jumps a little by catching ledges that you wouldn't normally catch. You could also drop down and catch a ledge below at any point that you wanted or even catch a ledge that's to the side. This was a great feature that gave players a lot of freedom and allowed for precise corrections when the automatic system was not enough. But in Unity, this completely goes out the window. When you descend a wall, it's completely automated, and you don't get to say when you want to catch the ledge.
      The point is that Unity's system, although flashy and impressive in some aspects, is extremely unreliable. Sure, it looks amazing when everything goes well, and you manage to chain together a long run. But unfortunately, it often doesn't work as intended. It's just unrefined and unpolished, which is kind of a symptom of the bigger problem with Unity.

I have nothing bad to say. There will always be pros and cons and least and most favorites. But these are games that require adaptation. So if you are willing to adapt to the mechanics, the games' worlds really open up to you. My example to this is, with Origins, while I had the ability to climb all the way up to nothing, instead I chose a more realistic approach, finding the lower ledges first, utilizing short jumps and short climbing distances. Smoothest climbing of my assassin experience so far

If my planning is wrong, or my execution fails, it punishes me but not by a large margin. Just enough to say "hah you suck, train more"

    This is really well done.
    I recently decided to try the RPG triology, and Odyssey just wasn't feeling like an AC game, you captured one of the big reasons why.
    The other games put effort into creating an environment where you can parkour, routes you can take. Odyssey just... didn't. "Go ahead climb the statue I guess". If it was the same statue in AC2, there would have been cracks in the stone you navigate around, not just hold climb+forward to go up.

    • @huyvouc9785
      @huyvouc9785 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      that's some good points for Rogue, though. But still, I think there is one thing that ultimately holds back Rogue's parkour, and that's the level design. Most of the maps in Rogue are sea, and there is only one city: New York. Compared to NY in AC3, while it's true that there are ziplines, ropeswings and stuffs, and they are very few on the map. If you notice, in Rogue's NY there seems to be much much less parkour objects and parkour route, even though it's the same location in AC3. AC3 NY offers more parkour objects and parkour routes, not to mention the ability to parkour through windows/doors - the thing that they throw away in Rogue. One more thing to mention, is that the height of buildings in Rogue is lacking the variety, so it fells flat compared to other ACs.
      That said, I don't think that AC3 is better than Rogue that much in terms of parkour. AC4 is the only game in the Kenway era that can take the W in parkour, since it offers the best parkour level design with multiple layers of heights and so many parkour objects and parkour routes to explore.

    Aside Valhalla I‘ve played all games and I can agree with your ranking when it comes to technology and skills. I also like the parkour of the Ezio trilogy and the challenges it brings to the game. On the other hand I’m pretty sure that a lot of players where frustrated by it and gave up. Unity parcour (especially with ACU fixes) is much more player friendly. It still has weaknesses like the mentioned long jumps but it's very enjoyable.
    On the other end the one button parkour of Odyssey and Origins is so boring that I decided to skip Valhalla. Mirage got my attention after the patch and to be honest I really like it. The round city is one of the most parkour friendly settings of the whole series.
    AC has a huge player base with a wide range of expectations and a wide variety of player skills. I believe the only way to satisfy new and old school fans is to introduce selectable difficulties for Stealth, Parkour and Combat. Mirage has shown the possibility for Parkour. Also difficulties for Stealth could easily be changed by the observed range and the reaction time of guards. (guards from Origins to Mirage are so sleepy that I was shocked when I recently played AC III for the first time 😂) Also Combat should be solvable. A one button hack and slay mode for beginners and a Witcher I combat system for me.😉🙃

      Sure, but that doesn't negate the video's point about animations vs player input. The same applies to controlled descent. You click "free run down" and Unity does it for you. You have little control which way he descends, something the earlier games gave you more manual control over. ​@@shira_yone

      ​@@Im_Blitz more manual control for descents? Are you serious or is this just Unity automation hate boner thing?
      Most you can do for descending in the classic creed (except 1) is just falling of a ledge or jump off, there is no actual control around it other than grabbing something on the way down which Unity still have, just way way more limited.
      In Unity you can *choose* how to descend: vault down a ledge (parkour down), the usual fall off of it ala classic creed (parkour neutral, same input as the older games), and jump off or even dive down (tap parkour up). Of course the outcome of the last one especially, isn't consistent because of, for the most part, unreliable automation system, but that's still more control available to the player over what the older games offer.
      Combine that with manual roll and the unfathomably cool wall side dismount, along with the abundance of verticality in Paris, practically 40% of parkour I do in Unity are descents; vertical climb into side eject, into vault down into a dive onto a rope/beam off to the ground with manual roll, never gets old.
      AC1 with vault down and more reliable ledge grab does feel way more intuitive overall, but it's not exactly more controls for descents over Unity.

      I agree. I think the parkour system went down with every game more. I also think fans heavily overrate Unitys parkour. Yes it looks cool as shit on the TH-cam vids and TikTok’s but I assure you: for one those clips are just highlight-reels of the creators and second of all if you boot up Unity right now I can 100% confirm you your parkour isn’t going to look like that. Jcers and LeoK that have analyzed and mastered each system in the series can also confirm this

    I think this list is absolutely spot on. My personal least favourite parkour system was Syndicate. I absolutely hated the removal of manual jump and back/side ejects, and found the mechanic of "parkour down" to feel totally foreign and unsatisfying. The total lack of precise player input completely baffled me and I cannot understand how we got to where we are now, with the latest games having it objectively the worst in the series, and Mirage only making ever so slight improvements.

    I just finished AC Unity for the first time a few weeks back and I completely agree with your take. I came into AC Unity with a lot of hype because I heard really good things about the parkour from the community and I was really disappointed with it. It felt way too animation based and insanely inconsistent which kinda ruined the game for me since combat isn't that great either. I think most of the people who say the parkour in AC Unity is the best in the series need to replay the story to really remember how bad it actually gets at times. Pretty animations doesn't make up for inconsistency.

    I've been playing through AC 1-6 recently. Brotherhood parkour felt a lot more clunky and disobedient than in 2. There were times when I had to fight the camera in order to land where I intended, else I would fling myself in the wrong direction because the camera had other ideas. For the first 8 mainline AC games, I would place B, 4, 1, 6, 5, 3, 2, and R from last to first personally, not just based on mechanics but also the "feel" and how the settings were adapted to the mechanics.

    Great ranking overall! I would have switched AC 1 with Unity since I think unity just looks a lot cooler. AC 1 is like the most simple stripped back version of what we got in the rest of the series in terms of movement variety and locations. I think the Ezio trilogy really varies the locations while still maintaining consistency and predictability of movement. But even in those games there are times where you will miss a jump or a button input will result in the wrong thing.
    I think the devs in Unity thought that the mistakes in the automatic predictions for movement would balance out with how smooth and cool the animations look. Unity undoubtedly looks the best, but in terms of just pure playability and enjoying feeling like an assassin I'll have to give it to the Ezio games, especially Revelations. The k
    Likelihood of making a mistake or getting stuck on a ledge is so much lower in the Ezio games than in unity. Unity always came off as unfinished and slightly clunky. I think with some more time to develop it could have been the best of the best.
