AC 1 Didn't Age, You're Just Bad At The Game

- Assassin's Creed 1 is a game that holds a very special place in my heart. Not only for obvious reasons like its protagonist being my favorite assassin, or for being the game that kicked off this franchise, but because it is, to me, unlike any other game I have played, Assassin's Creed or otherwise. The worldbuilding and lore that this game sets up in both its historical and modern-day sections are so bizarre and dystopian that I can't help but think the original vision for the story of AC was meant to be much more detached from our real-life world as it later became. I remember reading the emails on vidics computer, walking up to the window in that stale Abstergo room, and imagining the kind of world that would be out there, hoping desperately to explore it. Even now, when I play the game, knowing what things were retconned and how AC 2 changed so much of the modern-day style, I still come back to this game and get the feeling of unsettling curiosity that I got when I first played this game. Part of me wishes we had gotten a whole franchise in which the modern-day gameplay is this slow, puzzle-solving game where we try and escape our environment and learn more about the world we are in, and the historical section is the third-person action-adventure game we know and love. I really would have loved to see where all the original ideas of AC 1 would have taken us if AC 2 hadn't made it a more traditional triple-A game.
Most of the criticism I hear about AC 1 is related to the mission structure and its "repetitive nature". While I agree that the mission design is repetitive, I don't see this as objectively negative. Whether the missions are repetitive is a bad thing or not depends solely on whether you enjoy what you are doing. To me, the idea of investigating, tracking down, and killing templars is the perfect gameplay loop, with no fluff. I love the interrogations, the merchant stall missions, the archer missions, etc... these are all missions that give you a decent amount of freedom in how you complete them. When you learn how to efficiently and stylishly navigate the game environment that the game developers beautifully handcrafted, you can see how the fun is not in completing the mission, but in HOW you complete the mission, in the approach, you decide Altair will take to complete these simple objectives. I really urge those who think this game is too repetitive, to think of these as missions and mini-levels in which the goal is not to complete it as quickly or hassle-free as possible, but rather tell a story. A short story of how Altair, the version of Altair that you decide to interpret from the lore we've been given, would go about completing this mission. I think it will help you see this game in a new light.
Assassin's Creed is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the first installment in the Assassin's Creed series. The video game was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2007

Title is not a diss, its a diagnosis.
Read the description❤
It's also the truth. All of it.
You're not wrong 😂😢
Awesome title. Haha, don't be gentle with people.
Totally my friend!
Only thing I don't know how to do is vaulting?
Xbox controller, can you do it or is it only on pc?
It's crazy to think how much better this 16-year-old system is compared to the recent games.
Its sad too
Graphics too tho… realistic asf
@@Inner.demonsyeah considering the fact is *16 years old*
@@areyousureaboutthat277 exactly and for some reason they looked worse in black flag but became hella realistic in unity…
more engaging as well
This game has the only true Assassin feel to it. The others feel like a story of a character who happens to be an Assassin, whereas this game is centred around the Brotherhood and ideology.
The vaulting should've been carried over to the Ezio Trilogy though, that would've been amazing.
Brotherhood and unity do pretty good
I didn't even know vaulting was a thing in this game. How do you trigger that mechanic?
@@reapercaster7799press arm (A on Xbox and x on PlayStation) button while holding high profile when near a low object
@@JackycakesV2 I think you need to hold both X and O/ A and B while parkouring
@@5ch4773n. nah just the A/X button
I honestly think this game is the best. Altair is the only Assassin who cares about the objectives of the brotherhood and isn’t in it for revenge or ulterior motives. He has no real past, born into the brotherhood, and he’s an emotionless killer. Nothing he does is personal unlike the other protagonist. He’s Ubisoft’s version of Agent 47. The Templars in this game are actually historically accurate Templars too.
He is so cold yet so charismatic
i’ve been waiting for a new game set in the crusades for 16 years
Please don't compare this crappy game series to hitman
nothing you can do about it@@siddheshpillai3807
@@siddheshpillai3807it’s already been compared. You’re too late
This is the smoothest parkour I've ever seen on AC1. I am glad that my favourite ac game is still getting love after all these years. For what it meant to the history of videogame. Thank you for your content 🦅❤
Bro binge jcers vids and animus drifter theyre amazing at ac 1 parkour
@@AltairStealth yes I agree but I felt yours is pretty good also
@@zholyker3429thank you!!
I love AC1 it's something I could go on and on about lol. I couldn't agree more, it's truly special. If it's repetitive it's only because it largely does a better job of showing an assassin's actual fieldwork, as an agent often pretty much on his own who has to hone and rely on his skills, and learn and listen and plan... we may have the bureaux but they're not as easy as having a network of informers, courier pigeons or a board on the wall doing all the work for you like in later games, neatly pointing you to the targets and their location. I love that in AC1 nobody is holding your hand, you do the all legwork and the investigating, you're the one gathering intel to find your way to the target otherwise you don't proceed. So the mission structure isn't supposed to be glamorous, in reality the work of an assassin would consist of a lot of dull waiting, spying, tailing, pickpocketing, in preparation for the big gig. Plus you really have to blend in like an assassin should, and it's also rewarding that the people you help help you in return.
So in many ways AC1 is a better experience of what being an assassin would really be like, you're more involved with the actual work and feel closer to the people's struggles. I also love that Altair has these long discussions about the ideology and the deeds of his fallen Templar targets, he is committed to understanding the enemy, that adds layers of context to the story.
Not to mention Altair has one of the best character development of the franchise... from arrogant and cold, to humbled and truly wise. He is my favourite Assassin too.
I like the modern day, I wish there was more of it, like you said with the same dystopian vibe it had in AC1. Abstergo seemed much more menacing in here than in later games... once you get to work in their office and it's suddenly so mundane and even silly at times. But in AC1 it's more sinister, reminds me a bit of the Shinra corporation from Final Fantasy 7 with their genetic research and their deep misanthropy.
I'm ok with the gameplay and the parkour, having to be more mindful of jumping and grabbing surfaces just makes me a bit more focused. If I had to really find something I don't like about AC1 I can only think of the pickpocketing, maybe it's just me but that drove me crazy sometimes xD
Beautiful comment
The best way to do pickpocketing is when your target is walking. Wait for him to start walking.
@@CosBar_ thanks, yes I remember when he stopped he looked behind and I had to move away, the problem that I get is that sometimes Altair just keeps walking behind with his hand outstretched but nothing happens. I only managed to pickpocket after many many tries but to this day I never understood why it works sometimes and other times it doesn't. Maybe there is a right place to position Altair behind the target? or maybe the collision detection glitches in some places?
Do you know if there is a right way to position Altair when he is walking behind the target?
@@stupor_mundii think you need to wait until altaïr's hand is touching the targets pocket beacuse it works always for me so behind is the way to go. I probably read your comment 10 times and maybe shed a tear or two beacuse of how true you are! Ive played ac1 maybe like 15 times and i never ever get tired of it, the only AC game i play exept AC1 is unity for its amazing stealth.
@@TheCoruscantGuard that's so nice, and thanks! I replay old ACs a lot too, it never gets gold. What you say makes sense because everytime it worked I think I was really close, the arm was almost touching the target. Thanks for helping me figure it out!
3:33 not that revelations cutscene. It gives me so much chills, it’s my fav ac. I also can’t imagine anyone being bad at THE BEST ac game right??
😂😂 couldnt be us
@@AltairStealthFr anyone who’s bad is simply an anomaly within the arachno-humanoid poly-multiverse
Lmaoo
I LOVE how much darker this game's tone is compared to more recent titles, love this game AND this video, good work!
Same
It aged like fine wine 😌great gameplay, as usual!
Thanks for the compliment!
Title is the most accurate thing I have ever seen. Great video.
😂😂🫡
Parkour in this game just feels great, no restrictions, less contextual actions and more freedom.
Totally agree
And for some reason they just lowered the player control with each group of games.
Perfect shot at 0:30
Ur perfect
Loved reading the description, i couldn't agree more with what you said and i even shared some of your feelings back when i played AC1 when it was new, i was obsessed with the modern day and also wondered what the world outside the animus would look like and i do think they could have done more with the modern day story as a whole. You also have such a smooth and controlled playstyle for this game and its so good to watch, also love the title haha.
Do you wanna marry me?
@@AltairStealth aslong as you sign a prenup 😂
0:23 the way he falls 💀
So dramatic
2:53 WTF that looked so smooth!
Altair is slick
I just watched one of your acu vidoes before this one and was instantly entranced by your stellar use of the parkour system, ESPECIALLY in the unity video. I was also inspired and touched by reading the description of this video, it filled me with so much joy whilst reminding me of just how much love i had for the earlier installments back in the day (i still do), i never had the opportunity to express the feelings i had as much like you did because there was no one around for me to do so, but being in this community where channels like these exist gives me the slightest hope that someday we will have an assassin's creed game that gives us the same feels that the ezio trilogy and ac1 did. Subscribed!
Wow! What a nice comment. And i feel the same way you do, love this community
Cold title 🥶🥶 Honestly I love your videos, my favourite Assassin's Creed Ytber. Literal pro at stealth and parkour
Wow, thanks man that means a lot
@@AltairStealth Haha np, just sayin the truth. May I have a question? I wanna make similar videos like this, but firstly; how do I build such an audience? and second; How do you get so good and smooth with the gameplay?
@@xxiewolfresearch, practice, and digital marketing
Binge watch Leo K and you’ll be fine
Honestly with so much of the deep analysis that I have seen in regards to AC1, the lore the atmosphere the gameplay etc, not only made me deeply appreciate finding and playing this game but honestly and truthfully hope and pray that Ubisoft never touch this game with a remake. I too would’ve love to see what the original plans would’ve been as much as I also like AC2
The ending was godlike 😔
For the og fans
The chills are always there
A pity the recent titles left behind the parkour that essentially was the staple of the AC franchise. It's almost as if all the good things achieved in the past were discarded. Just seeing how smooth the transition across wooden beams was, with actual momentum, and how it is now is enough to shed a tear.
i miss this parkour
Because people complained about how they were struggling so they nerfed it in ac3, and then again in Unity, then again with Syndicate, then again in origins
This man diagnosed me with the sickness of being bad. What will i do? 😞
I recently replayed this one twice in close proximity. Once on Xbox via backwards compatibility, and once again on PC after I snagged it for cheap on GOG. For the PC playthrough, I turned off all HUD elements except for the sync bar and took an edible before each play session, and it was simply breathtaking. Also, mouse and keyboard actually felt damn nice in this game. I'm glad more people are starting to give this one a chance, because it's the best damn one.
Will forever be my favorite title in the frenchise and my favorite story, also love the description brother😂 great vid as always
Glad u liked it bro
The throwing knives are so boosted
Best projectiles
most satsifying throwing knives in any AC, the punchy crunchy sound effect on impact, the satisfying projectile trail that it leaves behind- absolute perfection
The voice of Ezio just brings me to tears remembering those old good days 😢
i miss him
Ok, but where did you hear the voice in this video as this is about altair not ezio though...?
@@ag273103:32 you either never played AC as ezio or didn't watch the video till the end.
@@Sulto_ oh I never watched the ending of the video but I indeed did play his trilogy
@@ag2731 sad
AC1 has one of the best worlds in the AC series, it is dark and mysterious. Although due to technical limitations, the cities were small and not well polished, just imagine the remake with more accurate and big cities, that would be awesome.
I would be keen for a remake for those reasons but greatly concerned about how ubisoft would handle the story
@@AltairStealth yes. The story was kinda dull. But they could improve the story by adding Altair chronicles and bloodlines to it.(and also crossbow🤞🤞)
I love this game
I finished (again) this morning !
Nice timing !
Perfect timing
nice gameplay. i've just finished AC1 yesterday (i've played it a lot but never actually finished it) and damn it's so much fun.
its such a agem of a game
This haunting music, though
Amazing gameplay, as always 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks to one of your videos I stared playing this game again and the parkour was so enjoyable once I understood how to play it, I love just moving around the map as fast as I can
Glad to hear it!
Parkour was ultra great I have ever seen in Assassin's Creed 1.....
Great video Man 👍
Ah thanks mate
Your game looks amazing, which Reshade preset do you use?
I miss the old games! This was back in the days when the AC franchise was at the height of its magnificence!
I just realized how much advanced parkour opportunity there is if they remake this game
100%
will never believe that people call this parkour system clunky
I liked the parkour of ac 1, didn't like that during eagle vision, u are in first person mode
I absolutely adore AC1, but there definitely is some clunkiness to it, just not the kind of clunk and not to the degree that people make it out to be.
Exactly
@@fenison4430 to be fair, it is the first assassin's creed they had released in 2007
Wow, 0:44 How did you do that? I have replayed this game many times and it is the first time I have seen this.
vaulting?
Been saying this for years lmao
Ac 1 supremacy
Ac 1 skill gap isn't high so it's objectively wrong. It's an easy game both to play and master.
@@MildlyHumorous-cq1nn and yet a lot of people have been saying that it's hard and janky because of its snap-targeting system since release. I mean, parkour is only slow if you make it slow. Like it actually makes think about the routes you should take to get from point a to point b to be able to traverse efficiently and quickly. That's why new fans prefer the rpg's parkour as you literally only need one button to traverse.
From someone that’s loves ac1 and Altair thanks for making this vid💙🐐
So glad you enjoyed it
That's a very bold take, I respect that. I also really love AC1 because of too many reasons to list in a single comment, but I think the best way to summarise it is to say that AC1 is the purest form that Assassin's Creed has ever taken. It doesn't capture the Assassin fantasy, it *is* the Assassin fantasy. The modern day has no true free roam or open area to explore -- the claustrophobic atmosphere is designed to either force you back into bed or the Animus, or get you to interact with every single entity and read every single email out of defiance. There's probably more to say but it's past midnight in my timezone and I need to sleep 💀
Also, that last part hits real hard even though I haven't played Revelations in a while now. Guess I'll go cry myself to sleep. Safety and Peace!
Hahahah sleep well!
I yearn for your skill to mix parkour and stealth kills. I can hardly do parkour by itself, I don't know how much practice it requires to be good at both
Too much practice i need to touch grass
Never got around to finish this game, but after giving it a go and fully immersing myself i thought damn ive ben missin out! This game is amazing and it feels so different from all the other AC games, after the ending i was like whaaaatttt please keep going i need more, but playing AC 2 and it's awesome as well but i miss altair a bit
Its an amazing game
I'm doing it as well for the first time, and I don't know if it's due to ps3 or what but the game is unplayable, full of glitches. I will finish it but up to now, sequence 4 it is the worst game I played since a long time
I loved AC2, but was sad when I didn't enjoy it as much as others did. I wanted to force myself to like it, but never really could. It just felt boring to me, and the fact you aren't really an assassin until the near end of the game didn't help.
So, you could imagine I was hesitant to try ac1. But I fell in love with it immediately. I loved the slower climbing encouraging side/back ejects, the combat was better in this game in my opinion, (hidden blade combat felt better to me to), and despite being emotionless which most view as a downside,
I was shocked to see Altair have so much character development after the community downplayed him next to Ezio.
I loved AC1, and it may just be my favorite.
''I beg of you, just a few coins'' - ''I am poor and sick and hungry'' always gets me.
Too busy doing parkour
Agree with The Whole Description , I just feel that the triple A type of objective they made with AC2 could’ve taken more from the first game but I still consider the second one the best sequel this could’ve had at least.
Idk why but what I loved so much about ac1 its his dark, violent atmosphere mix with mysterious and creepy music, very immersive game
same
You express an interesting philosophy, Altair Stealth, and yes, Assassin's Creed is my favorite AC and Altair my favorite Assassin.
The "Ezio Element" at the ending was unexpected, but well received. Ezio's final speech in Revelations is one of those moments of epic, perfect writing that always feel impactful.
Thankful for your thoughts!
It makes me kind of angry that every other assassin’s creed game has got the physics for Altair robes wrong, it is my favorite outfit and he is my favorite protagonist, it’s also my favorite game setting, with a close second being France.
this game really does deserve a remake/remaster
One can only dream
God that sound design is just so good. I can never get over that
Its nice
Damm, what settings are you using? Your Assassin's Creed 1 looks great.
Just a reshade :)
Man, I feel like I played the game all wrong, at least parkour wise. Nice moves, that grab movement you do is quite nice, gotta try it.
I almost thought you mod it. 😂💔
Hahah thanks
Man I agree that you really just need to find a gameplay loop that suits you and your individual approach, maybe even compliments your interpretation of the Mainprotagonist. Other than a GTA V, AC1 did truly feel like a game where you are in control of the Assassin fantasy the game naturally invoked in me back then. Play as a ghost, a wanna be monk, climbing monkey, ElderGlitch bugs bunny, whatever you like to reach your target.
Although on a technical standpoint this game has its restrictions (just like every other AC title) and of course it doesn‘t allow for a perfect simulation of ones specific fantasy, for me it expanded my imaginative experience with the first title just the more. While Sandbox games are cool (looking at you Minecraft), narrative driven games allow for comparative thinking. What I mean is, I could always think along the characters, feel what they feel at first, understand my avatars/player-characters ways of expression (via controls) and build upon that with my personal gameplay for the ultimate immersion, for no one to tell you „wasted“ for being creative. You just have to master the controls first (as your current title implies lol). Just like a craftsman that has to perfect his methods before „perfecting“/personalizing his craft.
Btw. I missed the unpolished comments of the civillians. Some of them are just random turkish curse words that made me lmao as a kid. For the people that know him, I always was reminded of Recep Ivedik (turkish movie comedian that curses a LOT) and for the cloudheaded boy that I was, it felt like „what if it is him, roaming around in this game, bullying the NPCs!“ haha
Yes I played AC1 as a kid, sometimes, in secret.. psshhht!
I only just realized something. Did Desmond tell Ezio everything about the Animus and other things, and such after he said "Now listen..."? I never realised this.
Not fully sure
Did you use any graphical mod on this? Looks insanely beautiful. Remember when I played it first time in 2007, PC struggling to keep 20fps+ lol
I only used a reshade
Ac 1 is my favourite game in the series, everytime i play this game it hits me with naustalgia, i have so many fond memories of playing this game. But what i really like about is how it truly makes you feel like a assassin and it set the foundations for every other ac game and its amazing atmosphere is one i will never forget.
Same, this game was unforgettable
It would seem that just one playthrough is not enough after all. I have A LOT to learn yet.
We need more ways to integrate eagle vision. There is no real incentive to use it in all the sequels
Which AC version of Altair robes do you like the best?
My personal favorite from old gen is the Revelations one and from the newer titles the Unity one!
Revelations nailed it
Finally someone said this and show the Potential you can have if you are a Master in AC1 This Game is a Masterpiece❤️🔥
One of the things that makes AC1 so special for me is that the original simple "repetitive side-mission structure" allows one to completely play the game with the HUD disabled.
The Kingdom has road signs pointing to the cities and in the cities the bureau leader gives you actual directions to where to look for your clues and the intel you gather gives you tangible information for the assassinations.
Also none of the missions in AC1 have a fail state that causes "game over" screen. Whenever you'd accidentally scare off one of your intel targets the game would keep running, but it'd just tell you to return later to reset the mission.
I love AC 1 movement, do you use some kind of mod to make ur game look beautiful?
Nope
Imma be honest, I never played AC1 (boutta, gonna buy it rn on Epic Games for $6 fyi) so when I saw a video comparing the parkour for Mirage and AC1. Before watching I was thinking “AC1 maybe smoother than Mirage, but I don’t think it’ll be that detailed” BOY WAS I WRONG! I was ASTONISHED how amazing the parkour is in AC1, the movements, momentum, and details. They felt realistic and skilled based. You FEEL the steps and grapple. Even Expert parkour people say AC1 is better than all newer games (watch on YT). I even read the parkour in AC1 is more complex because there’s a learning curve. I LOVE THAT! To think I skipped this and the Ezio trilogy as a kid on 360 simply because the graphic jump with AC3 and my dad already playing them, man I missed out, but now I could experience it for the first time!
Why the hell Ubisoft downgraded from AC1 and Unity? God knows, but hoping future AC games will improve over time and soon we’ll be getting a game with a parkour mixed with AC1 and Unity. A man could dream. Same could be said with the facial performances. The older games had life to them, felt engaging. Even the limited facial movements can be said with the graphics of the time. Even then they had life to them. Now the newer ones they barely show emotion or mouth the words they say which turns me off (I love performances in games). And you’d think with better graphics, more shapes, motion capture, and more advanced tech they’d improve everything or at least the performance…nah. The only thing carrying the performances are the voice acting (Like Origins) Sorry for this rant
Ac1 is amazing
@@AltairStealthjust started playing it today and oh my god…it is! Especially the parkour, has this charm to them and the system is great! So much freedom.
Hey so does anyone know if there is like an emulator that i can play this on. If not what consoles can i play this on
As a person who just finished Assassin's Creed Mirage. I could not tell in the first two seconds whether it is Ac1 or AC Mirage, as a matter of fact, the place looked cleaner than AC Mirage on last gen 💀💀💀💀
💀💀
It does aged in terms of gameplay. Vertical climbing is too slow. Sure, you can jump off of the building to the nearby ledge, but what if there is none? What if your only option is going up? That's right. You gonna stuck to same slow animation of climbing. Then the stealth. There is none. And after you have done killing, every guard in the area will know your identity and will chase you. And on top of that, it is hard to escape them. Like, you climb up a building, ran away far distance but then game spawns another guard nearby and the chase is on again. So the only option is to not run away but stand and fight. The fighting is limited to 3 or 4 animations of takedowns, and if you try to hit some heavily equipped guard, then he will counter your attack no matter what.
Then the hidden blade. You can use it during the fight ONLY to counter enemy attacks but you can't use it as a weapon and attack them back. The airborne takedown with hidden blade works weird too. Like, to do it, you need to lock on to your target, open your blade and then press high stance and run buttons together, to make Altair run and jump on top of your target, but most of the time he does not do that. He simply jumps forward and takes fall damage, or doesn't want to jump at all, trying to back up from the end of the ledge. And then we have detection system, when you always get detected, and have to press hide button to, well, make it look like a monk. Yeah, monk with tons of blades and knifes on his back, wrists, shoulders and boots. Gotta be some badass monk lol And that bleeping sound is just too damn annoying. And for the last, we don't have free roam mode in this game, to explore the world and find hidden stuff, like flags and those templar knights that you have to kill. So after beating the game, your only option of collecting stuff that you didn't is, by loading section 6 of memory and replaying it. But instead of doing main quests, you have to roam around. But that does not count as a free roam, so there is no free roam in the game. And the fact that you can't heal yourself when you took damage is just annoying. Cause, not always you can get away from the fight with less damage and sometimes you have to replay from the checkpoint.
Then the level design. Like, you start your quest that consist of doing repetitive side quests and then a quest of killing the boss. And you have to repeat this same thing over and over again through the whole game. Well, at least you don't have to worry about grinding to buy upgrades lol.
So yeah, Assassin's Creed 1 aged poorly in terms of gameplay and game design. I'm saying this as the man, who played this game back in my teenage years, when it first came out, and who replayed this game few weeks ago and still has it installed on my PC. I literally replayed it last time few days ago, trying to find those stupid flags that doesn't give you any reward. Thus I know what I'm talking about.
Beautiful comment
@@AltairStealth Well thank you. I just like to elaborate on words of many, when they say that something sucks. In this case AC1. Now, I don't think personally that AC1 sucks, for it's time at least, but playing it now is uncomfortable.
Personally im not much for the stealth or parkour of AC1, but i will admit the atmosphere of this game is unmatched. Cool stuff 😀👍
Thanks!! It does have great atmosphere
@@AltairStealthsure thing! Hey, one AC game that I think actually has pretty cool stealth is Freedom Cry, I'd love to see that featured sometime if you think it's good too 👍
Ah thanks for the rec, I’ll try to make a video featuring it soon.
Altair really takes his time to climb buildings. But now we got arno who can spiderman on flat surface
If anyone wants to replay the game with modern hardware, I'd recommend playing it with DSR 4X resolution (4K/5K or 8K depending on your base resolution) that can eliminate all aliasing that remains in the game and cap the framerate to 60FPS since ragdoll/leap of faiths and jumping momentum breaks at higher framerates. Also, I recommend disabling the entire HUD except the mini map if you feel you need it.
Good tips!
Ac 1 trained me reflex parkour system game, escape skill, counter kill
Man it help a lot when I play next to Ac 2
Facts
I hated how later in the game it took 2 throwing knives to defeat opponents. It would have been better to just let you carry less knives but make them always 1 hit.
Good point.
This was the only Assassin's Creed that I complete it at 100% with all collectables
Perfect taste
The thumbnail 🔥
Wonder who made it?
I agree. Dude this game still feels so rewarding in it's gameplay.
it does
Loved reading the description bro 💯This game will always be one of my favorite pieces of media oat. Even standalone without its sequels and Revelations, this is a revolutionary game. For its time, there was absolutely nothing like this game. All of the different animations and possibilities with climbing and parkour are nothing short of revolutionary. Just to think that this masterpiece came out in 2007; I am blown away to this day at how incredible these first four games in the franchise are. The story here sure is simple by itself, but not only is a simple story what we need for the beginning of a masterpiece of a franchise, but the Ezio Trilogy heavily compliments the story of AC; mainly talking about Revelations. I never would've thought that my love for AC I could've been any bigger, but after playing Revelations for the first time recently, I'm blown away at how perfectly Ezio's conclusion compliments Altair's origin. These writers for the first four games KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. This is the kind of passion in writing we need nowadays in modern pop-culture instead of the constant quantity over quality money grabs; such as modern Netflix Originals, DCEU, MCU, and most video games nowadays. Altair's story including his bit in Revelations is some of the best fiction I've ever seen, and I have the audacity to say that my claim is not subjective. I can never find the correct quantity of compliments to give to AC I to be satisfied. It is literally a tragedy how much this game is overlooked. The first four AC games, Breaking Bad, Daredevil season 3, La Haine (a French film), Pulp Fiction, the first 25 episodes of DEATH NOTE, original Indiana Jones trilogy, Skyrim, The Lord of the Rings (books and films), and maybe even the 4 Uncharted games; I believe they deserve their own category as surpassing anything else considered a "masterpiece", and I strongly believe them to be objectively the standard for the nowadays common phrase- "peak fiction".
Thank you for this awesome gameplay man 👍
its an absolute gem man im glad you enjoy and agree!
I cant believe ac mirage inspired ubisoft to make a sequel set in the holy land ❤ they really improved the parkour
can u tell me how did u imagine the modern world on ac 1 and how ac 2 changed that ?
Much more dystopian and less like our own
its on a historical lowest sale right now, 75% off. Great time to pick it up on steam :)
AC2 as well.
Really hope sales pick back up and new generations find this game
Can you shoot a video on assassin creed rogue came out templar hooded mod waiting for parkour stealth and much more with this mod
Sure!
@@AltairStealth I hope it will be cool
They honestly never got the throwing knives right after AC1
Lets hope for mirage
2:53 made shine my eyes
😂😂❤️
You know you're talented if u can make this game look this smooth Wow.
Thanks homie! Ur vids are amazing too
@@AltairStealth Omg thank you 😭😭😭😭
They say this game would be outdated on newer gen. Correct me if I’m confused, but doesn’t AC1 play almost exactly like AC2? Miss this game so much
Yeah
I really want to play this game. The fact that all the other AC games on are ps but not the first one is questionable. Back when everyone thought that Altair was from the future due to the animus.....now that i think about it...that doesn't sound like a bad concept at all to me.
Are there any discord servers where i can talk with other 20-something year olds who still play this game for both the nostalgia but also the insane depth, immersion, and gameplay?
Yep check my discord
Gonna go home and play this on my ps3 now!
Top man!
I respect the game for what it was but I genuinely think there is a heavy nostalgia driven response to it. It is slow, but the key reason I think people say it isn't is because of how responsive altair is to player input. making it easy to do exactly what you intend for him to do.
But the parkour is still slow and clunky, simply due to age. Just look at the back ejects to gain height, it takes forever. I played this one and moved on to play brotherhood and Ezio is much quicker in execution of the mechanics that started here. It's not a diss at the game at all, just my observation. The vault mechanic was confusing to me but a cool one if not a little wonky looking to use at times.
again, I respect the game for what it was, but personally I feel the Ezio games took what this started and ran with it and really made the parkour feel better and quicker. This game walked so the Ezio trilogy could run.
Nice one! wanted to buy mirage, now i returned to ac1 on my xbox 4k 60fps and i'm not shure if it would fulfil my old ac experience...
ac1 is just a masterpiece in terms of Music, ambience, colors, Altaïr 🙏👌and combat everything fits perfectly, parkour (works like butter after watching this video! didnt remember that smooth)
Now i will finally finish this game!
Thanks for bringing me Back to the Roots😂
enjoy!! so happy to hear
How do you do that vault that Altaïr does?
Hold open hand
Ac1 combat,stealth and atmosphere is much better for me honestly. There is more combat features in ac1 like you can stun enemies and gives you option to kill them or break their legs and you can finish injured enemies with your hidden blade, you can push enemies into scaffold (In e3 you can cut logs of scaffold to block path for guards to catch you), Stealth is more better like you can sit with people, blend with monks praying or blend alone praying which fools guards. Atmosphere and story is good too but missions are repetitive which i can agree on that part
Peak AC
Don't know if you were already asked but do you use some mod for AC1? The cities is really more colorful than I remember
probably reshade
@@lmaolol7702 If you look closely at text, it has some chromatic aberration which screams reshade.
Yes it’s a reshade :)
@@AltairStealth Thanks
In my opinion AC1 has the best parkour system,it needs more skill,is the most realistic and the vault mechanic is just so satisfying.
Unity may be technically superior in tht regard but it will look cool even if you arent good at it
The vaulting mechanic does it for me
You are really good at assassins creed
Yes that's true
He is
Thank you!!
3:51 was tight
😎😎
New AC game environments are so detailed they distract honestly. These environments help you focus on the genuinely fun gameplay
interesting take
Ubisoft not only can't make good games anymore, they can't even repeat their own game. So pitty.
😂
I recently finished the story on this game and I have to say it was amazing! I cant believe how great a 17 year old game is! I can feel for what some people critique about this title, but it was so fun to play a genuine assassins game, not this RPG bullshit. (No hate to RPG games...)
0:20 YOU DID, WHAT? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???
I HAVE BEEN PLAYING AC1 SINCE 2008, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Hahaha thank you. Try it out 🙌🏼
I literally tried to play ALL games in stealth mode, that was good, I'm still bad at it, but maybe I will play Unity, and replay franchise
Dew it
are you using any mods? for textures, reshade and such
Reshades only
@@AltairStealth ah i see, i use a texture mod and reshade, and it looks so good... mind if i ask which reshade preset you use?
The only thing that I hate about this game, is the fact you cannot play again after you complete the history
you can
How do I? I've got it for the ps3
