A game like Breath of the Wild, for example, with the amount of detail that's in the world and how you can interact with 1000 items a 1000 different ways and how the AI around reacts to said action, simply would not have been possible on older hardware i.e. a Gamecube. This is why a game where you can interact with every object will probably require more resources despite looking worse than some of the other modern releases; spawn 1000 cows in Skyrim on a modern PC and your game will start falling apart, because neither the engine or your computer knows how to process it.

I thought it was edited when i saw it for the first time, i guess Ubisoft was really desperate to cut corners on gameplay and optimization since the graphics looks similar to the PS4 and Xbox One era while performing horribly at 1080p ultra even with some of the most powerful 1440p graphics cards unless you're OK it 30fps or even cinematic framerate.

imagine the guts and the lack of respect towards the gamers when you release a game in this stage. there's only 2 options: (1) they never have any contact with games until this one or (2) they literally don't give a single f about the people who "play" these games. wither way it's insulting to say the least.
It really is crazy to think that Black Flag was Ubisoft's last masterpiece. Really makes you see just how much of a home run that game was for the time.
I disagree with that. Odyssey is not bad. And the new Prince of Persia the Lost Crown is not a bad metroidvania game. They have some capacity to do things well. Just, they are a big corporation run by greedy bastards that have forgotten what is make games.
@@baldurwitcher Sure neither game is bad, but neither is as good as Black Flag, that's all I'm saying. Ubisoft's game design peaked 10 years ago and it's just been downhill ever since.
@baldurwitcher The games you mentioned are good, no doubt. But they don't compare to Black Flag. I've been replaying it recently, as the OP said, it's a legit masterpiece. World construction and exploration potential, open world combat, ship sailing and combat, story telling and character development. Every piece of that game is crafted so wonderfully. I think they even hinted at what was coming in the video game industry. The story in the "modern day" parts of the game were about game devs wanting to make a great game, as their nameless faceless investors were pushing them to focus on things that had nothing to do with actually making a game.
@@AM-mx1du Syndicate is mediocre its also a way more casualized experienced you can't even jump off of ledges unless the game lets you lmao which is dumb because often you can clearly make a jump but the game just wont let you. The parkour is so handholding because casuals and journos couldn't understand Unity's amazing controls that were way more freeform and had a higher skill ceiling.
No, that's not how, back then there's not all of games can swim and dive, because limitations back then, and AC 1(altair) is game built from scratch from the ground, it's not a game overuse from other games, back then swim and diving platform very difficult, because yeah limitation of technology, art, physic, etc
Many lost interest after Desmond's death in Assassin's Creed 3, but at least in Black Flag they continued to add new mechanics and polish the old ones. Unity was good too... eventually. It was the pinnacle of Assassin's Creed gameplay. What I mean to say is that it was the last game where they actually cared. Syndicate is when the decline and oversimplification began, and then Origins came out, and it was over.
@@Mondain30 I really enjoyed AC3, I think I did everything there was to do in that game besides buying the DLC content. it is the only Assassin's Creed game I've beaten, have tried to play Syndicate and I got almost to the end before getting tired of how repetitive it is, so boring I don't care about finishing it, I really do need to play AC4 Black Flag sometime!
@@Mondain30 Ubisoft's Sin was firing Patrice Desilet when he was making Brotherhood. I would have waited until he made his entire thing, then cash-grab the saga wisely. Maybe without present day, and just make It into an anthology of stories related to Assassin's Creed, based on the old AC "bible" on how to make an AC game. But just historical games without any conspiracy, Isu, or anything related to Assassin's Creed, I would have made an spin-off series that can be considered another IP (like Persona with SMT) maybe called "HistorY" or something.
To be fair, those arent clones anymore. The clones got phased out years after the clone wars, that said, still no excuse why only wailing hands around somehow does more damage than a blaster to the face.
As a company gets bigger it gets bloated I bet that 90% of the people working at big game studios have no hand in making the product they just manage people who themselves are managing people, absolutely drowning in cooperate bureaucracy.
@@Yesnt15 To be fair, aren't stormtroopers (assuming it is the past-clone wars/imperial era) individual soldiers and not clones? I am not entirely sure about the lore here, but that was my understanding....
I had no idea it was this bad... And it's even more tragic that the regression didn't happen that long ago, in AC:Origins (2017) you can kill ANYTHING, even wipe out entire cities by scattering poison and the game neither punishes nor rewards you, it's just your choice, while this... Is just slap in the face of gamers.
@@shyviking I once killed a vampire slave in skyrim while they were all sitting down and eating. The npcs literally got up screamed random lines and then acted like nothing happened and went back to eating. Peak gameplay.
But in this case a lot doesnt seem like bugs / unfinished but just very bad cheap game design. I highly doubt it will get better. The AI is dumbed down by design . Nothing really evolves throughout the game. the story is shallow , the main character is an ugly androgyn thing by design. Its just what you get when you let politics decide who you hire and make decisions

as a game developer, that first assassins creed scene where the player shoots a npc is amazing. -Player aims the gun to the npc -there is a ray casting to detect if there is any object to interact with -the raycast returns that there is a npc type object in the range of the ray. -the game outlines the npc object. -sends a call to some method inside the npc object -the npc checks if he is facing a direction that in some range of degree the player character is. -if thats true, his method will make the npc go from walking to scared state. -every npc has its own way of detecting other npcs around them, probably with raycasting too. -the scared npc starts to check if there are any npc around him. -he finds a few -now, he sends the call to all of those npcs saying that he is scared. -the npcs start to check if the player character is close enough to them -they also check if they are facing the player. -if all that is true, they will change to scared state as well (the only one who pass this is the npc to the right) -The player shoots and there are a bunch of other things now, feedbacks like animations, sounds, camera shaking, light... all the npcs checking if they were close enough, and if they were, change state to run. Not in any direction but in a direction that dosent collides with the player char. So much in such small clip and such small detail of the game. Its incredible. This only shows how many people and teams were working. They probably had a team of people only for doing this.
How is it possible make a game so bad 10 years after they already knew how to make a good game. It's not even that hard to make npc's scared, but if it doesn't happen it really makes the game less immersive
Instead of using ray casting to get the other npcs, can you just use the list of the currently spawn npcs in a given scene and just query them by distance to the player and the npcs you’re aiming at? I feel like that’s gonna take much less time, but I’m not a game developer and don’t know how expensive ray casting is
@@eliodecolliyou still need to calculate the distance from each npc to the player and then check if the player is in the range. If you are doing this once every now and then it’s ok, but in games and situations like this, you need to do this hundreds of times per frame (imagine if you pc runs 100fps). Instead, you can use the raycast, which pretty much shoots a ray to a direction for a pre determined distance in a 3d world and if it collides with something it will do something, if not, it will get destroyed. By doing this you don’t need to calculate the distance between the player and each npc. You just shoot rays and wait for one to hit something. No calculation means more efficiency
It is, it's one of my favourites. I also loved Unity and all the others after it. But please don't forget there were videos like this one, pointing out their issues, downgrades and straight up poor design. Ah nostalgia.
Crazy that games 15 years old at this point looks better than a lot of games now. At least companies like Activision are still going strong making good content.
western clowns: lets boycott ubi to teach them a lesson! 😡 ubisoft: hey, we released new pre alpha game with 10% discount 😉 western clowns: count us in! 😍
You know the best example specifically regarding Ubisoft's crappy AI and NPCs is comparing Star Wars Outlaws to Unity. In Unity there were massive crowds, streets filled with people doing all kinds of things like fighting, cleaning, carrying dead bodies, harassing guards, stealing from each other, etc. And those crowds would all run if they heard a gun shot or gather around to watch you fight criminals or French Soldiers. Then Star Wars Outlaws they all just feel so...dead.
I totally forgot they could find you hiding in bushes in Black Flag! Good lord their games are getting worse. I thought it was just my imagination or nostalgia.
guards finding you hiding has been a thing since AC2 because people were annoyed guards in AC1 didn't check the obvious hiding spot. ac2 came out in 2009.
@@mycookiehasnoname they had Mirage after it, which I didn’t play. Shadows is coming soon, so we’ll have a chance to see how good stealth will be there.
I get people defending the game saying "It was never supposed to be gta but in star wars" but I'm just like yeah well that doesn't justify them giving us this and charing $70-130 and calling it a AAAA title
You do realize the A-rating is made up by game industry themselves and just indicate how much money they wasted on the game? It's a "depth of money pit"-measurement, not a quality indication.
hope you understand why Ubisoft and other Devs paniced when they saw Baldursgate 3 and told the people that this dont have to be the new Quality Standard because ther Quality Standard is what you see right now, less quality then 15 years ago with less Graphics then 10 years ago but with a huge Hardware Requirement because all the woke Dei bs take that much of Hardware Power. Isnt it a direct insult to all womens on this planet when they make them ugly ? doesnt that mean they say in other words "women are ugly" when in reality the Beautyfull Gender is Female and The strong Gender is Male" ? Sorry that is the truth.
This is probably yet another perfect example of a game that’s extremely rushed and released before it’s ready for the market. I refuse to believe this is the best Ubisoft can do nowadays-it just can’t be. There has to be another factor, like time constraints, that makes these games turn out the way they do.
As someone who grew up with PS1 - PS3 games it boggles my mind how Ubisoft manages to not beat their own DECADE old games. Just compare a Playstation game that came out in 1999 for the PS1 to something from 2009 for the PS3. The difference is unbelievable and here we have Ubisoft "backwards evolving" their games over the same time span. And people are surprised when "older" gamers say previous games were better?
I replayed Black Flag a few months ago and holy crap does it still hold up. It's impressive how it still looks pretty good. It's just depressing that they've never made a better one in all this time, Black Flag was the peak.
Peak gaming has passed. There's a reason I play the Mass Effect trilogy, Oblivion, and Half-Life 2. Nothing has replaced these experiences, and the release I am most hyped about is not coming from one of the "AAA" studios - it's Skyblivion, which has been painstakingly built by a community of modders and players for almost 13 years. It also manages to look better than most games released in the past 5 years.
I don't buy this, first of all, there are still good games out there and second, yes, the big studios are in a slump nowadays because of the complacency but when there's still lots of money to be made (and there are) capitalism will reinforce quality products by itself. It's just a stagnant period because of the culture, complacency, lack of competence, but it won't last forever.
Storm troopers were the elite forces of the empire meant to capture not kill, thats why they always shot near the target to intimidate them in order to capture them, but in this game the storm troopers are just braindead
These clips of the "stealth" gameplay in Outlaws never ceases to amaze me. I genuinely had no idea that AI could be that bad. The AI in Metal Gear Solid is better than this, and that was TWENTY SIX YEARS AGO. The AI in Outlaws is so bad it almost seems intentional.
Star Wars should be such an easy subject to make a game out of. The creative freedom you have is off the charts. I guess the problem is we need devs who are creative.
@@potawatadingdong Buddy you don't know how software and game development works, do you? This shit isn't on the devs, it's on the people who manage the devs. The devs are budgeted time to work on certain features. They can certainly suggest new work, but it probably won't be accepted. The hands of developers are tied by the project managers
No. Its corporations. The big executives won’t allow their developers to do much of anything for the sake of money. Capitalism has unfortunately ruined gaming

They should have kept the Hunting the animals in Outlaws. I mean, Connor did it in AC 3. As someone else pointed out about PETA. Seriously?? It's a game PETA, they will respawn. I mean come on, what does PETA really stand for? People Eating Tasty Animals
I love that they went as far as to make most of the storm troopers voiced by women for diversity points, but forgot to make the AI competent, which almost sends the exact opposite message...
@@Supermariosupervideo Disney, apparently. I think it's quite s*xist to only start using female storm troopers after they dumb down the AI, but you have to hit those DEI points some how...
Meanwhile one of AC : Black Flag's tailing missions had you hunt and skin four crocodiles while trying to follow your target and hunt whales and sharks to upgrade your ship. In ACIII Connor used to straight up stab wolves in mid-air, wrestle with wild bucks, break wolverine necks with bare hands and have boxing matches with bears.

@@baldurwitcherdon't forget Syndicate. And yes, i love Odyssey, it gave me long forgotten feelings of exploring an interesting world
@baldurwitcher The games you mentioned are good, no doubt. But they don't compare to Black Flag. I've been replaying it recently, as the OP said, it's a legit masterpiece. World construction and exploration potential, open world combat, ship sailing and combat, story telling and character development. Every piece of that game is crafted so wonderfully.
I think they even hinted at what was coming in the video game industry. The story in the "modern day" parts of the game were about game devs wanting to make a great game, as their nameless faceless investors were pushing them to focus on things that had nothing to do with actually making a game.
@@AM-mx1du Syndicate is mediocre its also a way more casualized experienced you can't even jump off of ledges unless the game lets you lmao which is dumb because often you can clearly make a jump but the game just wont let you.

Black Flag was the pinnacle of Ubisoft's library.
Many lost interest after Desmond's death in Assassin's Creed 3, but at least in Black Flag they continued to add new mechanics and polish the old ones. Unity was good too... eventually. It was the pinnacle of Assassin's Creed gameplay. What I mean to say is that it was the last game where they actually cared. Syndicate is when the decline and oversimplification began, and then Origins came out, and it was over.
It's my favourite AC game ever
@@Mondain30 I really enjoyed AC3, I think I did everything there was to do in that game besides buying the DLC content. it is the only Assassin's Creed game I've beaten, have tried to play Syndicate and I got almost to the end before getting tired of how repetitive it is, so boring I don't care about finishing it, I really do need to play AC4 Black Flag sometime!
@@Mondain30 Ubisoft's Sin was firing Patrice Desilet when he was making Brotherhood. I would have waited until he made his entire thing, then cash-grab the saga wisely. Maybe without present day, and just make It into an anthology of stories related to Assassin's Creed, based on the old AC "bible" on how to make an AC game.

Exactly, those fuckers have terrible fields of view. It makes plenty of sense to be able to get past them.
years ago games were made for gamers. Today its pure cash business so they are not afraid to release a game too early and (try to) fix it afterwards.
Knocking out storm troopers by punching their helmet will always be hilarious
They release games less and less finished and expect you to wait 2 years for it to be finished with updates.
That could also be day 1 paid DLC.
But in this case a lot doesnt seem like bugs / unfinished but just very bad cheap game design. I highly doubt it will get better. The AI is dumbed down by design . Nothing really evolves throughout the game. the story is shallow , the main character is an ugly androgyn thing by design. Its just what you get when you let politics decide who you hire and make decisions
you dont understand it, this game is finished. this is what you get when you pay double the money of a 2010 game = 70% less.

as a game developer, that first assassins creed scene where the player shoots a npc is amazing.
-Player aims the gun to the npc
-there is a ray casting to detect if there is any object to interact with
-the raycast returns that there is a npc type object in the range of the ray.
-the game outlines the npc object.
-sends a call to some method inside the npc object
-the npc checks if he is facing a direction that in some range of degree the player character is.
-if thats true, his method will make the npc go from walking to scared state.
-every npc has its own way of detecting other npcs around them, probably with raycasting too.
-the scared npc starts to check if there are any npc around him.
-he finds a few
-now, he sends the call to all of those npcs saying that he is scared.
-the npcs start to check if the player character is close enough to them
-they also check if they are facing the player.
-if all that is true, they will change to scared state as well (the only one who pass this is the npc to the right)
-The player shoots
and there are a bunch of other things now, feedbacks like animations, sounds, camera shaking, light... all the npcs checking if they were close enough, and if they were, change state to run. Not in any direction but in a direction that dosent collides with the player char.
So much in such small clip and such small detail of the game. Its incredible. This only shows how many people and teams were working. They probably had a team of people only for doing this.
How is it possible make a game so bad 10 years after they already knew how to make a good game. It's not even that hard to make npc's scared, but if it doesn't happen it really makes the game less immersive
Instead of using ray casting to get the other npcs, can you just use the list of the currently spawn npcs in a given scene and just query them by distance to the player and the npcs you’re aiming at? I feel like that’s gonna take much less time, but I’m not a game developer and don’t know how expensive ray casting is
Im not a developer but im sure that its much simpler in case of these old games.
@@eliodecolliyou still need to calculate the distance from each npc to the player and then check if the player is in the range. If you are doing this once every now and then it’s ok, but in games and situations like this, you need to do this hundreds of times per frame (imagine if you pc runs 100fps).
Instead, you can use the raycast, which pretty much shoots a ray to a direction for a pre determined distance in a 3d world and if it collides with something it will do something, if not, it will get destroyed.
By doing this you don’t need to calculate the distance between the player and each npc. You just shoot rays and wait for one to hit something.
No calculation means more efficiency

You know the best example specifically regarding Ubisoft's crappy AI and NPCs is comparing Star Wars Outlaws to Unity.
In Unity there were massive crowds, streets filled with people doing all kinds of things like fighting, cleaning, carrying dead bodies, harassing guards, stealing from each other, etc. And those crowds would all run if they heard a gun shot or gather around to watch you fight criminals or French Soldiers.
Then Star Wars Outlaws they all just feel so...dead.
The plasma bolts ricocheting off the animals really got me. They should make armor out of those skins, seriously.

It's a "depth of money pit"-measurement, not a quality indication.
hope you understand why Ubisoft and other Devs paniced when they saw Baldursgate 3 and told the people that this dont have to be the new Quality Standard because ther Quality Standard is what you see right now, less quality then 15 years ago with less Graphics then 10 years ago but with a huge Hardware Requirement because all the woke Dei bs take that much of Hardware Power.
Isnt it a direct insult to all womens on this planet when they make them ugly ? doesnt that mean they say in other words "women are ugly" when in reality the Beautyfull Gender is Female and The strong Gender is Male" ? Sorry that is the truth.
This is probably yet another perfect example of a game that’s extremely rushed and released before it’s ready for the market. I refuse to believe this is the best Ubisoft can do nowadays-it just can’t be. There has to be another factor, like time constraints, that makes these games turn out the way they do.
As someone who grew up with PS1 - PS3 games it boggles my mind how Ubisoft manages to not beat their own DECADE old games. Just compare a Playstation game that came out in 1999 for the PS1 to something from 2009 for the PS3. The difference is unbelievable and here we have Ubisoft "backwards evolving" their games over the same time span.
And people are surprised when "older" gamers say previous games were better?
Water in Black Flag was one of the best, that's for sure.
They really captured those gorgeous Caribbean shorelines did they not?
It looks like some of the best water I've ever seen in a game.
I replayed Black Flag a few months ago and holy crap does it still hold up. It's impressive how it still looks pretty good. It's just depressing that they've never made a better one in all this time, Black Flag was the peak.
Fr, it really is crazy to think that's when they peaked.
Hiding in bushes 100% accurate.
Peak gaming has passed. There's a reason I play the Mass Effect trilogy, Oblivion, and Half-Life 2. Nothing has replaced these experiences, and the release I am most hyped about is not coming from one of the "AAA" studios - it's Skyblivion, which has been painstakingly built by a community of modders and players for almost 13 years. It also manages to look better than most games released in the past 5 years.
I don't buy this, first of all, there are still good games out there and second, yes, the big studios are in a slump nowadays because of the complacency but when there's still lots of money to be made (and there are) capitalism will reinforce quality products by itself. It's just a stagnant period because of the culture, complacency, lack of competence, but it won't last forever.
Mass effect trilogy 1 2 and 3 are one of the best games ever
Funny thing is I never played oblivion. I love Skyrim and I'm 100 percent playing skyblivion once it drops.

0:33 to be fair, storm troopers being dumb and not hitting anything is quite accurate haha
Storm troopers were the elite forces of the empire meant to capture not kill, thats why they always shot near the target to intimidate them in order to capture them, but in this game the storm troopers are just braindead
now that you say it... i guess this is the way storm trooper in the game was suppose to be

I love that they went as far as to make most of the storm troopers voiced by women for diversity points, but forgot to make the AI competent, which almost sends the exact opposite message...
The Disney special, make a big show of hiring women and minorities, then say fans are bigots for not liking. Don't you love being used as a patsy?
Bruh who even thinks like this
@@Supermariosupervideo Disney, apparently. I think it's quite s*xist to only start using female storm troopers after they dumb down the AI, but you have to hit those DEI points some how...

Ubisoft deserves to go bankrupt at this point
Ubisoft: oh, you want the cool details? That'll cost extra in the dlc
It’s just back then it was more of a passion project and now it’s an industry that needs a product for a certain quarter .
The fact you can only pet the animals and not kill them tells all you need to know about modern Ubisoft devs.
To be fair: Children are unkillable in Skyrim, for example
But yes; a little odd to make animals and ALL bystanders/NPCs unkillable.
@@shyviking Probably too cheap to program ragdolls for them as well
Meanwhile one of AC : Black Flag's tailing missions had you hunt and skin four crocodiles while trying to follow your target and hunt whales and sharks to upgrade your ship.
In ACIII Connor used to straight up stab wolves in mid-air, wrestle with wild bucks, break wolverine necks with bare hands and have boxing matches with bears.
@@finkamain1621 That isn't how it works. You don't reprogram ragdoll physics over and over, that would be stupid.
@@finkamain1621 no they are just protected by the game , you can actually turn it off via mods .
They literally made a pirate game that was just a D-tier RPG where they replaced the character model with a boat model.
